0:00Jeffrey decided that he's locking in.
0:02New notebook, new [music] gym routine,
0:04alarm at 5:00 a.m., unfollowed all of
0:06his girls, no more porn, no sugar, no
0:08video games. He's going to do 10 hours
0:10of deep work a day until he hits 10K a
0:12month. Hm. But it is 1:00 p.m. and he is
0:16still sleeping. Oh yes, he was watching
0:19YouTube videos late. Well, okay, young
0:21Jeffrey, you've messed up the morning.
0:23Maybe later. Oh, okay. He's decided that
0:26he's just going to [music] lock in next
0:28week instead. Oh, no. The week after
0:30that. Oh, okay. Next month. Oh, for noof
0:32fap November. Okay, that's a good time
0:33to start. Wait, Jeffrey, what? You're
0:35going to wait New Year's? Jeffrey.
0:37Adonis. Adonis is the most perfect, most
0:41beautiful, strongest man in the world.
0:44We all want to be like Adonis. But he
0:46[music] wasn't always like this. He
0:48needed to learn how to lock in as well.
0:51[music] It took years of trials and
0:52tribulations to get on track. But
0:54luckily for us, Adonis noted down the
0:56most important lessons in his journals.
0:58we can learn from him.
1:01>> I'm making this video for my younger
1:02self because I always wanted to be
1:04productive. I just didn't realize I was
1:06doing a few things wrong that was
1:07keeping me stuck as like this low status
1:11young man rather than achieving the
1:13potential that I know I had. Why every
1:16time you try to lock in, it is doomed.
1:19Streak thinking is one of the biggest
1:21problems to locking in. Streak thinking
1:23is when you place an emphasis on
1:26checking off the box every single day
1:28and if you miss a day, you think it's a
1:31big deal. You literally count, okay,
1:33it's been day one, day two, day three.
1:35Nofap really puts this on to young guys
1:38because you're told that if you're on
1:40nofap, okay, right now you're on day
1:41one, tomorrow you're on day two, the day
1:43after you're on day three. But if you
1:46relapse, you go back to day zero and
1:48you've lost all the benefits. That's not
1:51how self-improvement works. I'm
1:52surprised this like nofap streak
1:54mentality has gotten so viral because
1:57honestly, it's actually stupid as [ __ ]
1:59This is my physique. If I miss the gym
2:02today, am I on day zero and I lose all
2:04the benefits? No. Of course not. This is
2:07my business that you're watching. If I
2:09don't post a video today, have I lost
2:11all the benefits and I'm back on day
2:13zero? No. Of course not. And it's the
2:15same thing with all habits, right? Let's
2:16say if you have a bad day, like you go
2:18outside to go cold approach a girl and
2:20you fumble and you mess up. You're not
2:22on day zero again. You just had like a
2:25rejection. That's okay. But so many
2:27young guys get this streak thinking
2:29thinking that they've like reset their
2:30progress if they have like a bad day.
2:33Bro, we all have bad days. It's 5:30
2:35a.m. right now. I woke up at 4:30. I
2:38just wasted like almost like the first
2:39hour of the day just kind of like
2:41getting ready slowly. I'm a little bit
2:43tired, but here I am still recording.
2:45I'm still going to do what I need to do
2:46today. I'm not going to let like a bit
2:48of a slow start to the day change my
2:50mindset. And it's the same thing with
2:51you. Sometimes, bro, you will mess up.
2:54Sometimes you will miss the habit. But
2:56you need to change your mindset and have
2:57like honestly like a little bit of
2:58empathy for yourself. Now, look, if
3:00you've watched me for a while, you know,
3:01I'm not like someone who sugarcoats
3:03things. I'll call you a [ __ ] [ __ ]
3:06when you're being a [ __ ] Don't you
3:08[ __ ] worry about that. But I'm
3:09telling you right now, you have a bad
3:11day, you're not a [ __ ] for that.
3:14Seriously, bro. It's completely normal.
3:16We all do. The problem is you have a bad
3:19day, then you you catastrophize it. You
3:21know, you you like you make it a big
3:22deal in your mind, bigger than it needs
3:24to be. One bad day should cost you one
3:28bad day. Let's say you woke up and
3:31straight away you did the worst thing
3:32possible. You grab your phone, you start
3:34scrolling, whatever. Okay, fine. Then
3:36you jack off. You've relapsed on Novap
3:38and you ate bad food. Okay, sure. You
3:41didn't study. Okay, fine. But let's say
3:43it gets to like 400 p.m. 5:00 p.m. 6
3:46p.m. You can still change this day. You
3:49can still go get a couple of wins if you
3:50have a positive mindset. You can still
3:52go to the gym. You can still meditate.
3:54What you need to do is destroy this
3:56streak mindset. Or also another phrase
3:58for it is the all orno mindset. You
4:02think like, okay, the day is ruined, so
4:04I may as well go all out. I bet you
4:07think that, right? So many guys think
4:08that about self-improvement. Like if
4:10they've ate some bad food today, then
4:12they'll be like, "Oh, okay. I'll go all
4:14out and then tomorrow I'll go serious."
4:16No. Why would you just do extra damage?
4:19Like imagine we're driving a car and we
4:21realize we took the wrong turn. You
4:23know, we should have turned right or
4:24whatever. Okay, fine. Should we just
4:26like keep driving in the wrong direction
4:28when we realize we're going in the wrong
4:30direction? Oh, let's just speed up right
4:32now and oh, let's really go far this
4:34way, bro. Or should you just think, "Oh,
4:36we went the wrong direction. That's
4:38okay. Okay, pull over and let's just do
4:40a little U-turn. Why would we go further
4:43down the wrong direction? It's the same
4:46as like jacking off, like fapping,
4:47right? Okay, let's say you fap and
4:49you're not proud of it. Okay, fine. But
4:51then some guys will say, "Oh, well, I'm
4:52on day zero anyway, so I may as well go
4:54all out." And they'll go like six times
4:56in the same day. That doesn't make
4:58sense. It that that's like you've made
5:00it worse. It's not that like, "Oh, today
5:02is a loss, so one time and six times is
5:04the same thing." No, it's not. Six times
5:06is [ __ ] crazy. If you've messed up a
5:09little bit, that's completely normal. If
5:11you took the wrong turn, that's
5:12completely normal. Don't keep driving
5:14down that path cuz you're like, "Oh,
5:16well, I've messed up now." You know what
5:17what the real problem is here? This is
5:20just an issue of mental health. Many of
5:23us, we were punished. We were verbally
5:26abused, physically abused for making
5:28small mistakes in life. But it's up to
5:31us to stop this extreme response first
5:35for ourselves. But if you want to have
5:37children in the future, bro, you better
5:38be doing this right now. When you mess
5:41up slightly, allow it. If you drop
5:44something on the floor, clean it up. Why
5:46would you like drop something on the
5:48floor and then be like, "Oh, okay." And
5:50then just drop more on the floor. That's
5:52mental insanity. If you take the wrong
5:55turn, do a Uturn. Don't keep driving in
5:58the wrong direction. Speedy. Oh, well,
6:00I've already messed up now. I'm just
6:01going to keep driving this way. That's
6:03stupid. If you keep going like this,
6:06you're going to traumatize your children
6:07in the future. You do realize this,
6:09right? So, you better [ __ ] stop. You
6:11better stop cuz that's not the father
6:12that you want to be. You need to have
6:14more kindness for yourself that when you
6:17mess up, you don't have this all or
6:19nothing streak mindset anymore. Why you
6:22feel so tired? You feel so tired because
6:25you have unmade decisions in your mind.
6:28decisions that you're thinking about but
6:30that you've not fully made are so much
6:34more tiring than even a bad night of
6:36sleep or overtraining or anything. Like,
6:38think about it. You're probably a young
6:40guy. You're probably like 16 to 21, 22
6:42years old, right? You should be brimming
6:45with energy, but so many young people
6:48feel so tired. And I'm I promise you
6:51it's not because of like lack of sleep
6:53or any of these things that like doctors
6:54and scientists would say because I
6:56understand young men more than these
6:57doctors do. I know why you feel so tired
6:59and it's not because of sleep or diet or
7:02any of those things. I promise you it's
7:03not. You feel so tired because you have
7:06unmade decisions that are weighing you
7:08down every single day. You're trying to
7:11decide what business or career to get
7:13into. You're trying to decide what sport
7:15style or what training style to get
7:17into, what diet to get into, the kind of
7:19personality to have, the way you
7:21interact with people. You have all these
7:23unmade decisions and you're not making
7:26these decisions because of insecurity
7:29because to make a decision is to cut off
7:31the other options. And you are still in
7:33boy psychology. You don't want to cut
7:35off the other options because it makes
7:37you feel safe like mommy did, right?
7:39You're like in boy psychology clutching
7:41onto like the the mother kind of energy
7:44of like, "Oh, but mommy, I don't want to
7:46make the decision. I want it all,
7:47mommy." But you have to make the
7:49decision. Which career are you going to
7:52go down? Which business are you going to
7:53go down? Which style of training and
7:56diet is going to be the one that you
7:58really just commit to for a at least a
8:00little while? You need to decide what
8:02your goals are. But the thing is, you're
8:04probably not good at making decisions
8:06just yet. And so, honestly, let me just
8:09make them for you. I will just tell you
8:11the goals that brings guys into a good
8:14life when they're quite young. Here they
8:15are. you can just go all in on them and
8:17you can trust what I'm saying because
8:18obviously I've helped thousands,
8:21millions of young guys live a good life.
8:23So, you can just trust that this is good
8:24goals for you. Number one, build the
8:27aesthetic body. Get into weightlifting,
8:29bodybuilding training. Build a body
8:31that's attractive to women and also
8:33it'll make you feel proud of yourself.
8:34Also, get into some looks maxing.
8:36Nothing crazy, but take pride in your
8:38appearance and become more attractive
8:40because it is very, very important. Goal
8:42number two, get way better at
8:44socializing and attracting girls. A lot
8:46of guys will cope and say, "Oh, well,
8:48yeah, I don't really care about girls."
8:49Yes, you do. Yes, you do. You're a
8:51young, horny guy. Yes, you do. If you
8:53had a day right now where you went
8:55outside and you happened to like cold
8:56approach a girl and you just like were
8:57extra smooth flirting with her, you got
8:59her number, bro, for the rest of the
9:01day, you'd be happy. You would. It's
9:03completely fine and healthy to say that.
9:05Don't be one of these little fakeos who
9:07act like they Oh yeah, I'm above being
9:10attracted to the opposite sex. Okay,
9:12homo. The [ __ ] wrong with you? Like,
9:14just just admit you're [ __ ] attracted
9:16to girls. And it's nice. It's fun to
9:18flirt with girls. Done. Okay, sweet. Add
9:20that to your goals. You want to get
9:21better with girls, and you also want to
9:22get better with general socializing,
9:24being able to talk to everyone, being
9:26able to hang out with the boys better.
9:27Okay, sweet. Those are the two goals of
9:29what I call level one self-improvement.
9:31Level one self-improvement is what you
9:32do when you're quite young. Maybe you're
9:34in school or university up until about
9:36age 21, 22 years old. You focus on
9:38basically looking good, feeling good,
9:40getting girls, socializing. These are
9:42the things that especially when you're
9:43young, they're very important. Level two
9:45self-improvement starts usually around
9:47age 21 to 22, which is where money
9:49becomes your bigger desire. But ideally,
9:52you already have a good physique and
9:53you're already good with girls. And
9:55maybe you already have like one or two
9:57or three girls you're consistently
9:58meeting. when you get on to level two
10:00and you want to go full extreme work
10:02season. Many guys really want to make
10:04money when they're young, but I tell
10:05them honestly like when you're 16, 18,
10:0619 years old, money is actually not that
10:08important just yet. How you behave
10:11around other people, your social skills,
10:13and how you look is actually more
10:14important. You don't want to turn out to
10:15be one of these guys who are like 24, 25
10:17years old, successful, made money, but
10:20they're deeply insecure for the rest of
10:22their lives because they're just not
10:24good in like social situations. I see
10:25guys like that like every week. I live
10:27in like a place where people travel to.
10:29And so I happen to meet quite a few guys
10:31who, you know, they've built up a good
10:33level of success in their careers and
10:34businesses. You don't want to end up
10:36like these guys who prioritize money
10:38over the sort of social things. I
10:41promise you, it's better to be a broke
10:43Chad than it is to be like a nerdy
10:46millionaire. I promise you. The broke
10:48Chad, let's say he gets to 25 years old,
10:50he's sexy, he's really good with girls,
10:52he looks really good. him sitting down
10:55and working on the laptops, not like
10:56crazy hard. It's completely normal. He's
10:58trying to make money. Fair enough. And
10:59he'll probably be pretty good at making
11:01money because of the fact he's a Chad.
11:02He can teach like how to become a Chad.
11:03Okay, sweet. But the nerdy millionaire,
11:05let's say he's 25, 26 years old and he's
11:07trying to now learn to like socialize
11:08and be around people, bro. It's cringe.
11:11It's awkward. These are the guys you see
11:13in social situations where they're
11:14looking at everyone like this like
11:28You don't want to become one of these
11:30people. Trust me. Looks, physique,
11:32socializing first, money second. You
11:35still probably have some other decisions
11:36in your mind. Honestly, just go make
11:38them fast. Your life is going to be
11:40better if you make decisions quickly
11:42rather than just being the guy who
11:43overthinks and just keeps thinking about
11:45it. And now you just feel tired every
11:47day because your brain is constantly
11:49thinking like, should I move there?
11:51Should I do this business model or this
11:52one or this thing or this one? Bro,
11:54there's so many decisions. You'll find
11:56that when you actually make these
11:57decisions and you start to go down a
11:59path, your energy level will be way
12:01better. Kill the level one chickens
12:03first. Imagine we're playing a video
12:05game and we're kind of a low level in
12:07this game. Should we go train on the
12:10chickens or should we go train on the
12:12dragons? You go up to the dragons and
12:14you click on it. Bro, you're going to
12:15get one hit, bro. You'll get one banked.
12:17You'll just die instantly. But so many
12:19young guys, they're trying to like train
12:20on the dragon. But in real life, you're
12:23trying to do things that are outside of
12:25your current capabilities. And then
12:27you're getting annoyed when you fail.
12:29You set goals and also intentions like,
12:31"Yeah, tomorrow I'm going to wake up and
12:33I'm going to go and do two workouts and
12:35then I'm going to do this. I'm going to
12:36meditate for 1 hour and then I'm going
12:37to go study for 3 hours." Bro, that's
12:40like a dragon. You're not good enough
12:42for that, right? I might be the first
12:44person you you've ever heard say this to
12:45you cuz I don't give you [ __ ]
12:46participation trophies or medals here,
12:49right? You are not that great. You're
12:52not. But you expect to have like the
12:55most perfect productive day. Think about
12:57it. The best version of you maybe 5 10
12:5915 20 years from now would be able to
13:02have like a pretty perfect day. Oh wow.
13:04You know, he was perfectly productive.
13:06Sure. You're trying to do that right
13:08now. Seriously. Oh yeah. I'm going to be
13:10locked in and have the most perfect day
13:11ever. Bro, you're not that good. You
13:13can't kill the dragons right now. What
13:15this means is you have to lower the bar
13:17to success. You should have very high
13:20expectations for your life over the next
13:23few years and decades, but you should
13:25have fairly low expectations for each
13:28day. For you to build an amazing life,
13:31you genuinely don't have to do that much
13:33each day to build it. I swear to God,
13:35you don't. You could. You just have to
13:37check off a few good boxes and you will
13:40really progress over the next few years,
13:43you will become unrecognizable. Like if
13:45you just go to the gym and try to
13:47progressively overload, and if you just
13:50try to hit the right calories, not even
13:52the right perfect macros, just roughly
13:53the right calories, and if you just do
13:56like 2 hours of deep focus work with no
13:58distractions, bro, within 2 to 3 years,
14:01you will be unrecognizable. You will
14:03look be so different from the other guys
14:07from your hometown. You you'll be the
14:08one who moved away and you you've moved
14:10to like [ __ ] Dubai or some [ __ ] like
14:12that. Seriously, couple hours of work a
14:14day, couple gym sessions a week, done.
14:16That's all it really takes to transform
14:17your life. So, lower the bar to success
14:20for what your definition of a good day
14:22is. Maybe it's go to the gym, meditate
14:25for 5 minutes, track your calories, and
14:28do one or two blocks of deep work on
14:30like studying or on business or career
14:32or whatever like your work is. That will
14:34move the needle ahead. If you did that,
14:37let's say 90% of the days over the next
14:40year, your life would be seriously so
14:44different. It would be insane. A lot of
14:47success and locking in just comes down
14:49to the mindsets that you're using. And
14:51so if you want to join a community of
14:52guys who have got a similar mindset to
14:54us, you know, guys who are making
14:56progress in their physiques, guys who
14:58actually think it's a good thing that
14:59you want a cold approach instead of like
15:00friends who say that it's kind of weird
15:02or whatever, then you can look to join
15:04my community which is called Library of
15:06Adonis. It'll be like the the top link
15:08underneath this video. The real key to
15:10success is removing things from your
15:12life. You're struggling with your goals
15:15right now, not because you're not doing
15:17enough, but because you're doing so much
15:20other [ __ ] that's distracting you from
15:23doing the core tasks and the core
15:25activities and habits that would make
15:26the progress. Basically, think about all
15:29of your life. What could you sacrifice
15:32to make extra gains? Maybe the girl
15:35you're texting right now that you keep
15:37checking if she's replied to you and
15:38she's clearly just not into you. Every
15:41time you manually choose to think to
15:42yourself like, "You know what? [ __ ] this
15:44girl. I'm going to delete her."
15:45Whatever. I promise, bro, you get a
15:46boost in productivity. Every time, you
15:48may as well start like routinely
15:50sacrificing girls just for this [ __ ]
15:51boost, right? Done. Other areas of life
15:54that you don't really care about.
15:56Sometimes guys will message me and
15:57they'll tell me like, "Oh, I've been
15:59doing this sport that I don't really
16:01enjoy anymore. You know, like, I've been
16:02going to football and I don't really
16:04enjoy it. I'd rather focus on
16:05bodybuilding. What do you think?" When
16:07you have a decision like that, bro,
16:08whenever you remove something from your
16:10life, the other things will almost
16:12always automatically just be so much
16:14easier. I really I promise this is such
16:17a big point. If you want to get
16:18successful, especially in business and
16:20money and stuff, but just in so many
16:21areas, look to see the things that you
16:25can remove from your life, that you can
16:27subtract from your life. So, for
16:28example, for me, I get really distracted
16:31with like anything health related. So
16:32every day I was researching like health
16:34stuff, health maxing, you know, you see
16:36all these videos online for like health
16:37maxing and the best diet and whatever.
16:40And I thought like, yeah, why? Like I've
16:42already got pretty good knowledge. Why
16:43don't I just like not research this
16:45stuff at all? Like what would happen if
16:46I just didn't give a [ __ ] about health
16:48or think about it at all? Not that I'm
16:49going to purposefully go have [ __ ]
16:51health, but just if I don't think about
16:52it. And I promise you right now, I saved
16:55so much mental bandwidth. My business
16:57has like basically almost doubled since
17:00this point. It was like in May this
17:01year. And my health feels about the
17:03same.
17:05So it was only a gain. I didn't even
17:07lose anything. I'm still sleeping about
17:08the same. I'm a little bit leaner. Like
17:11my body fat percentage is even a little
17:12bit better. Mentally I feel as good.
17:15Physically I feel about the same. Sweet.
17:17So what was I doing all that for before?
17:20I was genuinely distracted like a lot
17:23because of like health related things.
17:25What is it for you? What things could
17:27you sacrifice from your life that will
17:29just free up your mental bandwidth? A
17:31lot of it's to do with socializing for
17:32you young guys. There's a group of
17:34friends that you probably need to
17:36sacrifice. You probably were thinking
17:37about them already, right before I even
17:39mentioned them. You need to sacrifice
17:41them, bro.
17:44I have, bro. I don't keep around anyone
17:47from the old days. How could you? Like,
17:50you're a different version, right? Like
17:51the the people who knew you from years
17:53ago, they can't help but to keep seeing
17:56you in that same level. But you're not
17:58the same level anymore. You're going to
18:01do it eventually, bro. Let's think about
18:02it. 2, three years from now, you might
18:04even be a millionaire, right? You're
18:05going to be a [ __ ] jacked
18:06millionaire, but one or two years from
18:07now, you might even move to [ __ ] Bali
18:08where I live. When you move here and
18:11you've got a group of guys who literally
18:12like, let's say, they watch my videos
18:14similar to you. So, the values are so
18:16similar. They're all going to the gym.
18:18They all make money online. You actually
18:20genuinely respect them. Would you still
18:22be real friends with the people back
18:24home? [ __ ] no. When you're driving
18:26around here and there's [ __ ] eights,
18:28nines, 10 out of 10 walking around in
18:30bikinis, like they're 90% naked and
18:32they're ready to [ __ ] And let's say
18:34you've got one girl like that. Let's say
18:35you've got two girls like that. You
18:36smash this one, you smash this one. Are
18:37you still going to be talking to this
18:38[ __ ] midgirl from back home who like
18:40sometimes doesn't even text you for like
18:422 weeks. She just leaves you on red on
18:44like, "Oh, sorry. No, not even on red.
18:46Undelivered. Like she doesn't even open
18:48your message like on your Snapchat or
18:50whatever. Would you still be addicted to
18:51her when you're literally smashing new
18:53girls who are hotter than her?"
18:54Obviously not. So the people you have in
18:56your life right now, you're not keeping
18:57them because they're actually high
18:58quality. You're just keeping them
19:00because you've got like a low level.
19:01That's it. So if you're going to get rid
19:03of them 6 months or 1 year from now, but
19:06you've already identified they're not
19:08good for you right now, you may as well
19:10get rid of them right now. You have to
19:11make some sacrifices on this journey.
19:13This is not something I'm telling you,
19:15but like, oh, I don't do it myself. I
19:17left everyone behind, bro. All my high
19:18school friends I used to play video
19:19games with, all my university friends I
19:22used to go partying with. And then even
19:24the the friends I made at the start of
19:26this sort of business journey, 2020,
19:282021, 2022, some guys I met in the gym.
19:31I even I'm not friends with any any of
19:33those people because, bro, on this
19:35journey, you're going to rapidly change.
19:38And it doesn't make sense to keep like
19:40super old people behind unless you just
19:42happen to be kind of lucky that both of
19:44your trajectories kind of end up
19:46similar, but that's super rare. And you
19:48probably know that's not going to happen
19:49with the people you're thinking about
19:51right now. Otherwise, you wouldn't even
19:52be considering them. Try and remove like
19:54as much as possible from your life so
19:56that the only thing that's left in your
19:57life is just your goals. It's the
19:59aesthetic body, socializing, girls,
20:01those kinds of things, but with good
20:03people, of course. try and remove all
20:04this extra baggage and this [ __ ]
20:06that's just kind of like distracting you
20:07from your goals. Stop listening to your
20:10brain. Listening to your brain got you
20:13to watch porn thousands of times.
20:17Like just think about that. The voices
20:20in your mind and the impulses that you
20:23have through the day led you to a life
20:26that was actually kind of miserable
20:28where you got addicted to porn and video
20:29games and you became like a bit of a
20:31[ __ ] beta male. you didn't have a
20:32good life. When you actually think about
20:34it, listening to your own brain is not a
20:38productive thing to do. Let's say you're
20:40outside and you see a cute girl walking
20:42past. Your brain will say some things
20:45like, "Oh, well, you know, no, no, I
20:46can't go up to her because she's got
20:48earphones in. No, no, no. Can't go up to
20:49her because she's walking that way. Oh,
20:50I can't do it.
20:54Your brain's not on your side because
20:56other guys have cold approached the girl
20:57who had earphones in and they ended up
21:01face [ __ ] her. Other guys have cold
21:03approached the girl who was walking that
21:05way and they ended up clapping her
21:07[ __ ] cheeks. Your brain is just
21:11keeping you as a little beta male. It's
21:13like turning you into a cuck where
21:15you're like, "Oh, just she's going that
21:17way. I can't speak to her. I can't do
21:19this. No, I can't
21:21[ __ ] Your brain is keeping you as a
21:24[ __ ] And you know this because you
21:26have like two parts of your brain,
21:27right? You have like the Jeffree part of
21:29your brain and the Adonis part of your
21:30brain. The Jeffrey part of your brain
21:32really gets loud whenever you're about
21:34to do something that you could be scared
21:36of. Like for example, called approaching
21:38a girl. Unfortunately, the Adonis part
21:40of your brain is kind of silent. Like
21:41he's sitting back and watching to see if
21:43you're a [ __ ] He doesn't say much in
21:45this moment. Just the Jeffrey brain.
21:46It's like no, you can't speak to her
21:47because she's got earphones in. you
21:48know, the the social constructs of
21:50society indicate that like, you know,
21:53you're just thinking of like like some
21:54re weird social paradigms. It's like
21:56kids in school will tell me like, "Oh,
21:58well, how can I make friends because the
21:59school year has already started?" And
22:00like, [ __ ] just go make friends
22:02exactly the same way. And what they're
22:04trying to say is like, "No, but the the
22:05social circles have already been formed
22:09and I must wait until next September."
22:11No, like you're being a [ __ ] dork.
22:13You can go up to someone today and speak
22:16to them. Even if most people have
22:17already formed the kind of social
22:19circles, doesn't [ __ ] matter. Try it
22:20anyway. Even if she's got her earphones
22:23in, even if she's walking that way, even
22:25if she didn't even look at you, try it
22:27anyway. Why would you just like [ __ ]
22:29block yourself? What you need to do is
22:31stop listening to your own brain, which
22:33sounds crazy, right? So, what's the
22:35alternative? Command your body to do
22:38what it needs to do. When you see, let's
22:41say, the girl over there, you want to
22:42get better at cold approaching, your
22:43Jeffrey brain's going to get loud and
22:45think of so many reasons not to speak to
22:46her. What you need to do is like
22:48basically press the buttons on the
22:50controller to command your legs to walk
22:53straight up to her and just say
22:56anything. What you say is a hund times a
22:59million times less important than saying
23:02anything. It's better to go up to a
23:03girl, you didn't really plan what to
23:04say, and you just go go up to her. Uh,
23:06hi. Uh, um, I just thought you were kind
23:09of cute. what's your name? Like that's
23:10not so smooth. But that's still actually
23:13not bad. I'm telling you, like you you
23:15could literally end up [ __ ] this girl
23:16and maybe you you'll even get into a
23:18relationship, maybe a situationship,
23:20maybe you'll [ __ ] her for months just
23:21cuz you did this. Cuz other guys who
23:23wanted to [ __ ] her next to you, their
23:26brain told them not to. They're going to
23:28go home and masturbate. Now you get to
23:29to be with this girl for the next 3
23:31months you [ __ ] for free. Nice. Because
23:33you just turned your brain off. Command
23:36your legs to walk up to her. Command
23:38your body to do what it needs to do,
23:40even if your brain is kind of
23:42disagreeing. Before I came to press for
23:44this video, bro, I was quite tired. I
23:45went to sleep pretty late last night. I
23:47couldn't fall asleep for a little while.
23:48So, I've only slept for about like 5 or
23:496 hours. So, I woke up today. My body
23:52was tired. I set up the cam like I I
23:53came downstairs. I set up the light and
23:55everything. I was like, "Oh, I left my
23:56camera upstairs." So, I walked upstairs,
23:58grabbed my camera, put it down. I needed
23:59my little notes. I have like a few ideas
24:01that I'm going to talk about, you know,
24:02for this video. And I sat here for like
24:03a minute just thinking like
24:06I don't really want to do this right
24:08now. What my brain wanted me to do, I
24:10could feel it so clearly, bro. It wanted
24:12me to go on to Instagram and just scroll
24:13for a little bit. Seriously, or Tik Tok.
24:17You know, the dopamine I wanted, I
24:18posted a few Tik Toks yesterday. I
24:19really wanted to go on to Tik Tok to see
24:21how many views they got. And I knew that
24:22I would end up reading the comments and
24:23I'll probably go on to Instagram and
24:24check my DMs and then start scrolling
24:26and just be [ __ ] right? That's what
24:28my brain wanted to do. But just one step
24:31at a time, I just trudged along. I sat
24:33down here. I'm heavy. I set up this
24:35thing. I've set up the camera. Press
24:37record. Here I am. My brain was telling
24:38me like, "Oh, no. Don't do it. Don't do
24:40it." But like, I just command my body to
24:42show up and do what I need to do. It's
24:44the same thing with when you want to go
24:45in cold approach, when you want to do
24:47some kind of work, like, you know, being
24:48a YouTuber, whatever. It's easy for your
24:51brain to get loud and say like, "Oh, but
24:53what if people find my videos? What if I
24:55go up to the girl and say something
24:57stupid? What if she rejects me and
24:58everyone sees it?" It's so easy to think
25:01about all these little excuses, but the
25:03guy who's a thousand times better than
25:06you, he still goes through the same
25:08things. Bro, I record videos,
25:09[ __ ] hate me. I go up to a
25:10girl, sometimes I say something stupid
25:12as [ __ ] bro. Sometimes I go up to a
25:14girl and she doesn't even look at me.
25:15Like, she doesn't even see me as a
25:16[ __ ] human being. She just keeps on
25:18walking. Maybe she's got a boyfriend.
25:19Sometimes girls will talk to me.
25:20Sometimes girls are just rude. It just
25:22happens. But I don't get insecure about
25:24it because I'm good at that [ __ ] But
25:25the thing is, that's still the negative
25:26response that you're scared of, right?
25:28So, it's like you may as well act like
25:31the version of you that's already really
25:32good at these things. And if you end up,
25:34for example, getting a hate comment in
25:36like a YouTube video, you're not that
25:37sensitive about it because you act like
25:39a big YouTuber who's just normal with
25:40it. If you stumble getting a girl's bra
25:43off, you act like a [ __ ] boy who's taken
25:45bras off hundreds of times and it's not
25:48a big deal if you just fumbled it a
25:49little bit. It's like really nobody
25:51gives a [ __ ] Just you're still going to
25:52smash this girl, right? So, you need to
25:54get out of this insecure Jeffrey brain
25:56that's making you like sort of double
25:58think everything, right? You're trusting
26:00your brain too much. No one has ever
26:02given this advice before, but this is
26:04some like goatated advice. I'm telling
26:06you, for self-improvements, you need to
26:08listen to your brain less. You can
26:10literally just command your body to like
26:12walk over to the computer, open the
26:14little document that you need to work
26:15on, and start typing, and I guarantee,
26:17bro, the work will actually be pretty
26:18decent. You know, this brings us to a
26:20bigger point, which is you've got to
26:22stop overthinking. so much. One of the
26:24biggest problems I see for so many young
26:25guys, you're just overthinking to the
26:28point that your life's getting ruined.
26:29You need to get more into like [ __ ]
26:31mode, right? You need to just turn your
26:33[ __ ] brain off, act like a [ __ ]
26:35and stop thinking about all these extra
26:38things. Like, in my community, we have a
26:40section in there where guys can ask me
26:42and and everyone else questions, right?
26:44So, I go in there every day to reply to
26:45everyone. And probably about 20 to 50%
26:47of the the questions that people will
26:49ask me, I reply to them saying like,
26:50"You're just overthinking. you don't
26:52have to think about this. Just spend
26:53zero more seconds thinking about this.
26:55You know, should I, you know, they'll
26:57just ask some [ __ ] where I'm reading
26:59it as an older guy who's achieved
27:00everything the these guys want to
27:02achieve. And I'm telling them it's like
27:03this is a useless train of thought. Like
27:05there's no value in this sort of
27:06thinking thing that you're doing right
27:08now. Shut the [ __ ] up. Turn your brain
27:09off. Go gym. Hit some PRs. Track your
27:12macros. Go talk to some more girls. Shut
27:13the [ __ ] up. You don't need to worry
27:14about this small [ __ ] whatever, like
27:16you're currently obsessed with. You
27:17don't have to think about it. If you
27:18find yourself in a rut and need to
27:21restart, let's say that you follow this
27:23guide so far. You feel way more locked
27:25in than usual. You've got a bit more of
27:27a clear path of which goals to pursue.
27:28You've got way better mindsets to do
27:30with, okay, you know, like, [ __ ] the
27:32street thinking, the all or nothing
27:33mindset. Okay, you're feeling good about
27:35life. Let's say for the next few days,
27:36you are on like a high. This this guy
27:38has helped you. Sweet. Make sure you
27:39subscribe and like the video. Okay,
27:40sweet. Nice. But then, let's say maybe a
27:42few days from now, maybe a week or two
27:43from now, you find yourself in a rut.
27:45you missed one or two things and then
27:47you start going downhill and then you
27:49ate too much, then you missed the gym
27:50and then you ended up gooning twice or
27:52whatever. Okay, you find yourself pretty
27:54deep in a rut. How do you restart so
27:57that a rut is like half the length?
27:59Imagine if we could calculate every rut
28:00you've been in, how long you were in it
28:02for, and let's say the average was 2.7
28:04days, cuz there were some days where you
28:06were in a rut for multiple weeks, some
28:07days where you were in a rut just for a
28:09few hours and you ended up making
28:10yourself feel better. Let's say the
28:11average was 2.7 days. All we want to do
28:13is bring that average down. And the way
28:15that I personally do this, it's really
28:18weird cuz this advice is going to seem
28:19really vague. I burst into action.
28:22Imagine you have a day where you're just
28:24really feeling lazy. You know, you you
28:26scrolled a lot, whatever. It's a [ __ ]
28:28day. It's like 6 p.m., whatever. I find
28:30the way that I get out of that is like I
28:32aggressively like I almost like swear a
28:35few times in my mind like, "Fuck this.
28:36Go on." and I stand up and I
28:38aggressively grab clothes and I usually
28:40go and do something physical like I'll
28:41go for a run or I'll go to the gym which
28:43kind of gives me like you know some some
28:45energy of like going forward going to do
28:47something right so I quickly go do that
28:49put my music on and then I'll hit a
28:51workout and you hit a workout and bro
28:53like you you feel way more positive
28:54afterwards especially if you can make it
28:55a pretty decent workout you know the the
28:57strength is good your physique is good
28:59okay sweet you hit a workout and I also
29:01when I'm in the workout when I'm in the
29:03gym I write like one or two things I'm
29:04going to do afterwards which is like
29:06I'll come home and I'm going to go
29:07record like two Tik Toks for example. So
29:09then as soon as I come home, I shower
29:11quickly. I I see the little list. Okay,
29:13I record the Tik Tok. I feel pretty
29:14happy with it because it was a good
29:15performance, whatever. Okay, sweet. So
29:18on my worst day, I went to the gym and
29:19also recorded content. Like that's
29:21better than most people's best days. So
29:23that's actually pretty good, right? So
29:24the way that when I find myself to feel
29:26it like I'm in a bit of a rut and I'm
29:28doing some [ __ ] I shouldn't be
29:29[clears throat] doing, you know, like if
29:30I end up scrolling or some [ __ ] it's
29:32like it's a bit of like aggressive
29:34energy that I step into. That's what you
29:36need. Imagine you're like scrolling,
29:38right? You're scrolling like a little
29:39[ __ ] What you need to do is get into
29:40this like, man, [ __ ] this. You throw you
29:42like physically throw your phone like to
29:44your bed. Stand up aggressively, grab
29:46your clothes, throw them on fast, and
29:48go. That's like the energy that I found
29:50that stops a rut if it's a few hours in
29:53or a few days or whatever is like this
29:55[ __ ] this energy. Now, here's the thing.
29:57You could have this [ __ ] this energy. Go
29:59to the gym, have a pretty [ __ ] workout,
30:00come back and feel like [ __ ] and just
30:02keep [ __ ] scrolling. You need to
30:04carry this [ __ ] momentum. Have this
30:06energy, this aggressive, [ __ ] this
30:07energy. Go to the gym and purposefully
30:10do good things there, but purposefully
30:12when you're in the gym, try your best
30:13that you don't have a good workout. Go
30:14and cold approach in the gym. Go up to
30:17the few guys there. Give them some fist
30:18bumps, talk to them, be in this loud
30:21energy. These little social interactions
30:23really help with being locked in and,
30:25you know, feeling good about yourself.
30:27And then also make sure you stay in this
30:29positive mindset where, you know, okay,
30:31there's something else you can do that's
30:32kind of productive, but it's kind of
30:34easy. Notice how I told you, okay,
30:35whenever I feel like I'm in a rut, I go
30:37to the gym and I do something pretty
30:38easy when I come back, which feels
30:39productive, like recording a short,
30:41recording a Tik Tok, cuz that's super
30:43easy. It's like 10 times easier than
30:44recording a YouTube video where I have
30:45to set my proper camera, my light, and
30:48sit here. At Tik Tok, I just record on
30:49my phone. Easy. That's it. There's no
30:51editing. I just record, I upload it,
30:53done. It's pretty fast as well in the
30:54sense that like I post it, it starts
30:56getting views right away. So, it feels
30:57like pretty positive and quick. You know
30:59what I mean? That's what you need. If
31:01you ever find yourself in a rut, have
31:03this [ __ ] this energy. That's like step
31:05number one. Aggressively grab your stuff
31:07and go somewhere. Like, for example, go
31:09to the gym or go for a run. Even if it's
31:10like dark, bro, cuz you're probably not
31:12going to sleep by this time anyway. [ __ ]
31:13it, bro. Go for a run. It's like 10:00
31:15p.m. You'll feel [ __ ] good. I promise
31:17you'll feel so much better. You'll get
31:19out of a rut faster if it's like 10 p.m.
31:21Or it might even be like 2:00 a.m. You
31:22stayed up late and you can't sleep or
31:24whatever. Go for a [ __ ] run at this
31:26time. And I bet you're going to feel
31:27like like David Gogggins or some [ __ ]
31:29bro. I promise that's better than just
31:30like thinking, "Oh, well, I'll just
31:32start it tomorrow. [ __ ] this starting it
31:34tomorrow. [ __ ] this." Like, "Okay, well,
31:35you know, it's already late, so tomorrow
31:37I'll wake up late and then I'll do No,
31:39no, no, no, no. Whenever you feel like
31:40you're in a rut, wake up early the next
31:42day. Even if you're going to be sleepd
31:43deprived, it's better to wake up sleepd
31:44deprived but with good energy than it is
31:46to wake up later but with [ __ ] energy. I
31:48promise you anyone who's good on
31:50self-improvement will agree with me
31:51there. How to be consistent? One of the
31:54questions I get all the time is, "Ham, I
31:56used to be more consistent, but I fell
31:58off my consistency. How can I become
32:00consistent again?" And again, this is
32:02something I said at the start of this
32:03video. You have like this all or nothing
32:04mindset. You know, most people don't
32:06even know what consistency is.
32:07Consistency is not that you've been
32:09doing things like Monday, Wednesday,
32:10Friday, or daily. That's not
32:12consistency. Consistency, I'm going to
32:14give you a new definition of consistency
32:15that's better than what anyone else has
32:17said on the internet so far. Consistency
32:20is volume over time. Consistency is not
32:24that you go every day and you're on a
32:257-day streak, 15 day streak. No,
32:27consistency is volume over time. It's
32:29that, okay, you started lifting three
32:32years ago and you've done like 600
32:34workouts in that time and you're still
32:36going now. Consistency is not just like
32:38getting to day [ __ ] 90 of nofap.
32:40Consistency is that you've been reducing
32:43how much you fap and watch porns for
32:45like the last 5 years. That's
32:47consistency. You need to have this this
32:49this mindset that I had about the gym. I
32:52always call it grandpa gains. It was my
32:54first few workouts in the gym. like in
32:56in my home gym, you know, in my garage,
32:57we have like this little rusty little
32:59barbell and bench press and whatever.
33:01So, I would go in there, put the little
33:03speaker on, listen to some music,
33:04whatever. And one day, I just got this
33:06random visualization of seeing me as
33:08like a 60, 70-year-old old man walking
33:11into a gym. Everyone knows me and I'm
33:13still pretty jacked.
33:15That's consistency. Consistency is that
33:17you're starting something now and you
33:19just don't quit and you're still doing
33:21it 5 years from now, 10 years from now.
33:24So take the pressure off and understand
33:26that as long as you don't quit, you will
33:29be at the 10 out of 10 point. If you
33:30never quit bodybuilding, going to the
33:32gym, lifting weights, you'll have your
33:3410 out of 10 physique 10 years from now.
33:36Some people say that they got it in 3
33:39years. Good for them. Maybe they're
33:40lying. But you will guarantee your 10
33:43out of 10 physique 10 years from now, as
33:45long as you don't quit. Even if you have
33:47periods where you get injured and you
33:48feel sick and you don't really want to
33:50train and you're traveling so you don't
33:51go so much and you're focusing on other
33:53things. Even when you have periods where
33:54you know your result is so slow and
33:56you're not making much progress, as long
33:58as you don't quit the gym, you'll build
34:00a 10 out of 10 aesthetic body within 10
34:02years from now. You will. You are a man
34:05on your purpose. The ultimate goal of
34:07all of this advice and the intention
34:09behind locking in is to be a man on your
34:12purpose. Your purpose is basically your
34:14reason for being on this planet. What is
34:17your reason for existing? What is your
34:18mission? Your big goals. My big goal
34:21first of all was my own
34:22self-improvement. And then it's teaching
34:23what I've learned to other guys. It's
34:26become my business. It's the way that I
34:28provide for my family. It's the way that
34:29I contribute to the world. And I've
34:31helped millions of guys live a happier,
34:33healthier, more confident life. That's
34:35my purpose. That's my mission. what
34:37you've done today by watching this
34:38video, you've become more of a
34:40purposeful man and more of a goal
34:42seeking, ambitious, hardworking
34:44masculine man. And you should be proud
34:46of that. You know, I'm going to tell my
34:47editor for the intro of this video, put
34:50some edits, put some funny pictures,
34:51maybe some music, whatever. But for the
34:52rest of it, leave it plain. If you've
34:54genuinely watch this video and most of
34:57it's just been me talking no extra
34:59dopamine, bro, good on you. You probably
35:01have like a top 0.1% attention span of
35:04these days. and you're genuinely you're
35:06interested in this topic, which is very
35:08good to see. It's good to see like other
35:10purposeful guys like this. This is why
35:13I've built up this channel. This is why
35:14I built up my my community cuz I like to
35:17see other guys who are like masculine
35:19and purposeful just like me because you
35:21can go through this path alone. That's
35:22why it's called self-improvement. But
35:24it's honestly way more fun when you have
35:27a community of guys who are actually
35:29like you with similar values to you and
35:32you know beliefs and jokes and whatever.
35:34Then this journey becomes genuinely so
35:37much more fun as you go through it. You
35:39don't even feel like you're sacrificing
35:40anymore. That's why I made Library of
35:42Adonis. It's my paid private community.
35:44If you really want to go serious on
35:45this, the link is in the description. Do
35:48the hard work, especially when you don't
35:49feel like it. Mwah.
