The internet is the greatest knowledge builder of all time, the problem is the signal to noise ratio, there is a lot of white noise. When it comes to learning how to build muscle mass, there is a ton of information out there, too much information in fact. It doesn’t help that bodybuilding sites need consistent content to fuel their rankings and most forums are filled with more broscience than a jersey shore locker room.

The problem with learning bodybuilding on the internet is that most sites are either a bastion of inductive reasoning or are too scientific for the average guy to apply. The good thing is you never have to read another bullshit article again, building muscle is extremely simple, there are only four things that work:

1) Maintaining A Caloric Surplus

To get bigger you need to eat more. When you overexert a muscle you create microtears, for that muscle to repair and grow, you have to eat more nutrients then your body needs to accommodate the new muscle. Most guys know this already, what they don’t know is that you don’t need to eat all that much.

When guys on every forum tell you to eat big and grow, what they mean is eat big and take drugs to grow. When you eat big without drugs you’ll put on muscle but you’ll also put on fat.

As a natural trainee, unless its your first 6 months of training, you need to eat a lot less than most guys tell you. You need to eat according to the amount of muscle you’re looking to put on. For example, a natural trainee, in his third year of lifting should only expect to put on 5 lbs. of muscle a year.

1 lb. is 3,500 calories, 5 x 3,500 calories is 17,500 calories, divided by 12 months and that’s a caloric surplus of 1458 calories per month or 48 calories per day, that is a not a ton of extra food. This is why you see so many guys get fat on bulks, because they’re eating too much, then they cut weight and lose a lot of muscle, 2 steps forward, 1 step back. And you’re fat for half the year, not a good look for a playboy.

After your initial first couple years of gains, they will be slow and hard to come by without performance enhancement. Only guys on steroids can get away with eating big because gaining ten pounds in a month on superdrol is completely possible. To see how to bulk while minimizing fat gain check out this article.

2) Getting Adequate Protein

Muscles are primarily made up of amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Muscles repair themselves after a workout when amino acids and other nutrients travel to them from your bloodstream.

That’s why weightlifters need more protein than the average guy to repair the damage caused in each workout and build stronger muscles. With that said, just like with maintaining a caloric surplus the amount of protein guys need to build muscle is less than you think.

I know every forum in the world says you need a gram of protein per lb. of bodyweight but that’s actually not true. With the exception of maybe elite level bodybuilders carrying 90 lbs. or more of lean muscle, you only need at most, 120 grams of protein per day.

I’m speaking from experience here, having built and maintained 50 lbs. of lean muscle on under 120 grams per day. I’ve also choked down over 200 grams of protein per day in the past with no noticeable effect on muscle growth but a noticeable effect on my kidneys, gut and wallet. If you don’t believe me check out these four studies or this book by Brad Pilon on how much protein you really need:

• Walberg et al. in 1988 found that .73 grams/pound was sufficient for nitrogen balance
• Tarnopolsky et al. in 1988 found 0.55g/Lb sufficient for bodybuilders
• Lemon et al. in 1992 found recommended 0.75g/Lb
• Tarnopolsky et al. in 1992 found that 0.64g/Lb and 1.10g/Lb were not significantly different

3) Utilizing Progressive Resistance

Muscles grow through hypertrophy, that means they only grow after being pushed to their maximum contraction or muscular fatigue. This causes microtrauma or tiny damage to the muscle and with enough calories the muscles heal and become stronger.

This means you need to continually be pushing your muscles to their peak contraction for them to grow. You should look at the amount of weight you lift as merely a measurement of the strength of your muscular contraction because the strength of your muscular contraction is all that matters.

You need to push your muscles to fatigue each time you step in the gym, otherwise you’re wasting your time. When I step in the gym I’m only focused on one thing, breaking records, that means lifting more weight than I did the previous week.

Unless you’re breaking records your set is useless for muscle growth, its only useful for maintaining the muscle you have. All that matters is how hard your muscles contract, which means all that matters is how much you can lift. If you can bench 400 lbs. on a machine you’re going to be big, whether you’re properly recruiting your stabilizer muscles is irrelevant. All broscience debates are irrelevant.

Machines vs. free weights? Irrelevant
High volume training vs. low volume training? Irrelevant
Eating before a workout vs. eating after a workout? Irrelevant
Pyramid training vs. reverse pyramid training? Irrelevant

Getting Stronger Is The Only Thing That’s Relevant!

4) Taking Performance Enhancing Drugs

If you want a body that looks good with your shirt on and off you need drugs, period. You can look lean and ripped naturally with your shirt off, but with your shirt on you’ll look skinny/fit. You can look muscular naturally with your shirt on but you’ll look fat with your shirt off.

You can’t be big and ripped without drugs, period.  Every guy that looks noticeably good is on drugs, all athletes, action movie stars and men’s health cover models use PED’s, when you make a living off of your body, you can’t afford not to be maximizing every advantage.

As a natural bodybuilder you can expect to gain about 40 to 50 lbs. of lean muscle over 3 to 5 years, to find your exact natural genetic potential check out this article here. The best drugs available for natural trainees are creatine, which increases the amount of weight you can lift and stimulants, which give you extra energy in the gym.

If you’re aiming to look like the guy on the cover of Men’s Health magazine then you need real drugs, those guys carry about 60-70 lbs. of lean muscle which is more than anyones natural genetic capacity. You’re also looking at about 5 to 7 years of proper training to build this kind of physique. Common steroids used are testosterone, deca durabolin, and dianabol, all of which raise the anabolic hormone levels in your body allowing you to put on muscle rapidly.

To look like an elite bodybuilder, a guy with 100 lbs. or more of muscle you need elite level muscle building genetics, 10 + years of insanely dedicated training and a pharmaceutical textbook full of drugs. Don’t believe these guys get their physique from whatever bullshit supplement they’re hawking. The entire bodybuilding industry is built to sell supplements that don’t work, endorsed by guys who take more drugs than Lindsay Lohan.

These guys are not only on steroids but hgh, t3 and the most anabolic and dangerous drug of them all: insulin. While I respect the discipline of these guys but I don’t think aiming to be an elite bodybuilder is a good goal for our purposes. The money is shit, you turn off a lot of girls with your physique, you damage your body and it takes a lot of time away from liberating yourself from wage slavery.

I’m not promoting or condoning steroids, I just want you guys to understand the realities of bodybuilding and be able to manage your expectations accordingly. As a libertarian I think every man should be able to decide what he wants to put in his body as long as he’s done his homework, understands the risks and is following the laws of his country.

My Experience

I’ve tried every routine in the book, almost all of them led to injuries in the gym from overtraining. If you’re a natural ectomorph like me, your joints and tendons can’t handle the strain of a lot of weight training. Once I got rid of the bullshit and focused on the four fundamental things above I started to really grow. I realized I just needed to eat a bit more, make sure I get enough protein, break records in the gym and take my supplements.

I designed a minimalist routine that is easy on my joints, prevents injuries and gives me the most reward for the least effort. My routine hits the sweet spot, the point after which you get diminished returns or even results that are counter-productive. A great example is training 7 days a week, for some guys that might be ok, but for me that just leads to injury and excess muscle tightness. Being in the gym twice a week is perfect, no injuries and consistent growth.

I use low volume training at a high intensity because its more efficient than high volume training and easier on my joints. I use compound movements because they’re more efficient than isolated exercises. I use intermittent fasting and stimulants because they give me more energy in my morning workout.

I do one set on each exercise only because the first set is all that matters. I only worry about one thing, lifting more than the previous week.I only do one upper and one lower body exercise per day because I always want my muscles to be fresh and its easier on my joints.

When you truly push a set to fatigue your muscles will be worn out, that means you won’t be able to break a record on a different exercise because your muscles will be spent. For example if I crush a set of weighted chins, I know that if I do a set of weighted dips in the same workout I won’t be able to break a record on those dips. I’ll only be able to do about 93% of my 1 rep max because my arms aren’t fresh. That means that set of weighted dips is useless. To see my exact routine check out this article here.

Here I am now at 5’10”, 170 lbs. 32 years old with 50 lbs. of muscle on my frame (yes I was actually 120 lbs. in high school)

Conclusions

Muscle building is simple, focus on these four things, tune out the white noise and you will grow!

Kirkland Minoxidil is an OTC medication used in the treatment of androgenic alopecia, or male pattern baldness. Minoxidil was the first FDA approved treatment for baldness under the tradename Rogaine. Minoxidil has been clinically effective not just in treating hair loss but in some cases it has been proven to regrow hair.

Minoxidil is a nitric oxide agonist that works by increasing blood flow to the hair follicles. Minoxidil is most effective on young guys with less than five years of hair loss. Minoxidil was originally approved for central vertex hair loss only but anecdotally has been shown to work on the whole head. I wish I knew this when I was in my early 20’s when my dermatologist discouraged me from using Minixodil because I was receding from the front instead of the crown.

Hair Loss is caused through a reaction between the follicle and DHT or Dihydrotestosterone, a hormone responsible for muscle growth and libido among other things. The hairs on the side and back of your head are resistant to DHT, but in the case of male pattern baldness, the hairs at the front and crown of your head are susceptible to DHT.

Minoxidil doesn’t effect DHT in the way Finasteride would and can be used in combination with a DHT-blocker like Propecia. I should caution you, that many guys who have used Finasteride notice sexual side effects, myself included so I can’t fully recommend the drug to you as part of your hair loss protocol. With that said Minoxidil is extremely safe as proven by the fact that you no longer need a prescription for it. In this day and age there is no excuse not to be fighting back against hair loss, here’s exactly what you need to know:

A rimjob orgasm, for those of you guys who don’t know, is the act of licking someone’s asshole for the purpose of sexual arousal resulting in a peak experience. I’m proud to say that defintion could not be found on urban dictionary so I will take full credit for its first appearance online in this scholarly paper.

A rimjob is filthy, in every sense of the word, but chances are if you’re reading this article, so are you. I won’t try and sell you on rimming girls being hygenic but I can tell you that its a fun thing to do and has never given me any health problems.

Rimming is not going to be for everyone, and you won’t want to rim every girl you have in your bed, but if you have an oiled up Kim Kardashian in your bed you’ll want to devour every inch of her. In my experience, watching a fit, clean, sexy girl get off for the first time by having her asshole licked is a pretty exciting thing.

Some girls won’t like being rimmed and some girls might like how it feels but won’t be comfortable with it, if that’s the case, just stick to the battle tested technique for making her cum, eat her pussy.

It’s the start of a new year, the time of year where people talk about how motivated they are. You hear it everywhere you go. They talk about their half-assed resolutions. They talk about how they’re going to lose weight. They talk about how they’re going to quit smoking. They talk about how they’re going to eat healthy. They talk a lot but talking is all they do.

By March, they’re still fat, still smoking and still unhealthy. Then they talk about how they can’t find the motivation any more and they give up. They give up because they’re quitters. And what quitters don’t understand is that motivation is not enough.

Now I know you’re not a quitter. I know you’re a winner. I know you’ve set your goals. I know you’re motivated for the new year. That’s why I want to warn you in advance. I want you to remember this when things get hard so you don’t end up like those losers. If you rely on motivation alone you set yourself up for failure.

I’m not saying that motivation isn’t important, it is. I want you to feel motivated. I listen to motivational videos every morning and you should too. But motivation is not enough to succeed. You might be motivated now but what are you going to do when you’re not motivated? When you can’t get fired up? When you wake up depressed and have to struggle just to drag your tired ass out of bed, what do you do then?

The answer is, you keep moving forward. You don’t wait for motivation because you can’t base your mission in life on a fleeting emotion. Motivation is not enough, you need dedication.

So what’s the difference between motivation and dedication you ask?

Motivation is an emotion, dedication is a characteristic. Being dedicated is who you are, how you feel at one moment in time has no effect on that.

Dedication is what separates the winners from the quitters, the men from the boys. Achievement is about dedication over motivation, will over skill.

Being motivated is a luxury, anyone can work hard when they’re motivated. Being dedicated means you can work hard when you’re not.

To accomplish anything worthwhile you need to be truly dedicated.

So what does it mean to be truly dedicated you ask?

True dedication means making a decision and closing your mind to all other possibilities.

True dedication means you take the hits and keep moving forward.

True dedication means you get back up, every single time.

True dedication means not waiting for motivation. Waiting for motivation is an excuse. Dedication doesn’t accept excuses.

So how do you become truly dedicated you ask?

It’s simple, to become truly dedicated, vow to yourself right now that you will not quit your mission for any reason, ever. That simple vow will change the entire way you view your life. You’ll choose every goal wisely because you know that quitting is not an option.

You want a great girlfriend? Approach women until you find one. You want a great business? Work like a dog until you succeed. You want a great body? Get in the gym 3 times a week until you’ve got one. No quitting, no exceptions.

Any worthwhile goal you have is going to be hard, if it was easy everyone would do it. In your pursuit of your goals you’re going to feel pain, you’re going to fear failing, you’re going to doubt yourself but none of that shit matters. Those are just fleeting emotions, dedication is forever.

So be truly dedicated, work hard and never, ever quit.

To understand your role in the sexual marketplace you need to understand sexual economics. Mainstream media and even most red pill websites don’t properly understand sexual dynamics. This post was originally written as the first chapter in my new book but I wanted to expand on it and get this out to you guys because this knowledge is so crucial.

From an evolutionary perspective, across all species, females are the gatekeepers of sex and are more sexually selective than men. If women were designed to fuck any man, no matter how defective, our species would not have survived. Women risk death with every pregnancy, nature did not design women to take that risk in vain but instead to produce a healthy, genetically fit child.

In the sexual marketplace, women are more valuable than men. Like any marketplace, the sexual marketplace is subject to the laws of supply and demand. Eggs are limited and sperm is abundant, so naturally the demand for eggs is higher than the demand for sperm.

In a traditional marketplace people get together to buy and sell goods or services. The sexual marketplace functions in a similar way, with the major difference being that sex is an equal-value exchange as opposed to an exchange of different goods and services.

In our culture, however, sex is not treated as an equal value exchange. Both men and women accept that sex is a transaction where women are the buyers and hold all the sexual capital. Even though both parties are getting the same thing, it’s accepted that women are giving something to men and that men are taking something from women.

Think about the structure of a traditional date. You meet a woman, pay her a compliment and make her feel good about herself. She’s excited to meet you for the next few days. You take her out and show her a great time, dinner, wine maybe a movie, covered by you of course. You handle all the nervous tension of the date and lead the interaction smoothly making her feel comfortable and happy. You invite her back to your place, in a cab covered by you of course, for some more wine and snacks. You play the perfect host.

When the mood is finally right you give her an intensely pleasurable experience where you do the majority of the work. An experience that she seems to get a lot more pleasure out of then you do. Sweaty and exhausted you offer to send her home, you even pay for the cab again. You text her the next day thanking her for coming.

At this point you don’t call her for a few weeks or maybe you wait for her to give you a call and return the favor. This never happens, instead she feels used. Society sees you as the asshole for not treating her properly. Think about how insane that is. Think about how you would feel if a random stranger did all those things for you, incredibly grateful I’m sure and you definitely wouldn’t expect anything more from them. But such is the nature of our reality gentleman.

The mainstream media and its feminist overloads wrongly portray women as sellers while complaining about how objectified they are by men. The truth is, the only time women sell sex is through prostitution. Prostitution reverses the sexual dynamic where women trade in their sexual capital for actual capital. As prostitutes women display all the behaviors of sellers: from appeals to your ego, aggressive advertising to lying about the services provided.

The truth is, we sell sex. Sex is the service we provide to our female clients.  We can only get access to sexual capital from successfully selling our service to women, just like a salesman earns his capital from selling to a client. A man can either get sexual capital from selling his services to multiple clients, or he can form an exclusive contract with one client in exchange for consistent access to her sexual capital.

Sexual capital is treated as value-loaded and finite as opposed to its true nature, equal-value and infinite. By treating sexual capital as value-loaded and finite, woman monopolize the supply, hoarding it like a wealthy investor. Women are given sexual currency at birth by being born female and accumulate more with age by maximizing their sexual market value and spending it selectively. In other words, by not being a slut.

Sluts are labeled as sexual fools, the same as people who spend their money foolishly. Sluts only get sex in exchange for sex. They make the mistake of treating sex as an equal-value exchange instead of leveraging it for other things. Since they’ve spent so much of their sexual capital they can never afford a good product like a confident, attractive, wealthy man who wants to be in a monogamous relationship.

The sexual marketplace, like all markets, is a buyer’s market. Women, like all buyers, have a buyer’s mentality when it comes to sex. They look for reasons not to buy as opposed to looking for reasons to buy. They exhibit all the traditional buyer behaviors like lateness, rudeness and flakiness.

Those of you guys in sales know that buyers are liars and women are no different. They know they have something of value, but they have limited funds before becoming a slut, so most want to buy wisely. They want to keep their numbers down and the quality of men high.

Most women, especially as they age, value finding a partner to raise children with over almost anything else in their lives and will easily sacrifice casual sex to preserve their reputation. This is why you hear nothing but a barrage of lies from them when it comes to sex. Women will sell you purity, telling you how they only want to have sex in a committed relationship. But mark my words, this is a bold-faced lie.

Women are as sexual as men are, they want to fuck multiple men just as much as men want to fuck multiple women, albeit slightly more selectively. Nature has no concept of marriage or a committed relationship and commitment is a human construction designed to prevent murder and maintain order in society.

Nature designed women to have as many children with as many high quality men as they can. Women repress their promiscuous instincts because it conflicts with their desire for securing a mate and resources because they know men want to be sure of the paternity of their children.

Most women offer a relationship in exchange for sex and I can’t say I blame them. This is, after all, the socially acceptable method. From a cultural perspective women are punished for being sexual. Women are punished less harshly than they used to be prior to the feminist revolution, but most women still sell some version of purity and lie about wanting to fuck multiple men.

In traditional society, prior to the feminist revolution, the best way for women to spend their sexual capital was to buy a marriage with a man. In exchange for her sexual currency she would get children, emotional support, financial support, a bodyguard, a social escort, a responsible father and a sexual partner.

In order to create a stable society it was necessary to control a woman’s sexual currency. The elite of all cultures across the world codified marriage as a business contract enforced by religion and the state, the violation of which would lead to ostracization or death. Marriage as an institution was so powerful that it became the only lawfully acceptable place for sex.

Of course our elites fucked who they wanted. They never have and never will play by the rules they construct, but the average man had no choice. For many men, marriage was a good bargain, he had access to consistent sex, fidelity and a partner to raise a family with.

The stability and population growth brought through the inventions of agriculture and marriage was responsible for humans becoming the most dominant predator species in the history of the known universe. Without marriage we would still be living in caves.

This system lasted from the dawn of civilization until the 1960’s and the feminist revolution. Prior to feminism a man received a wife who would provide him with children, domestic chores, fidelity and sex in exchange for financial resources, emotional support and physical protection.

Post-feminism, men receive none of these things and with the advent of no-fault divorce, enforced alimony and child support, marriage has now become a dangerous proposition in North America. Not only is finding a traditional woman all but impossible, but also half of all your shit is on the line if she wants a #yolo divorce.

On the plus side, finding girls for casual sex has never been easier. Sex before marriage and after divorce has become expected, the result being our current hook up culture of casual sex and short-term relationships.

In the de-regulated sexual marketplace, female sexual choice is the driving force. Since women only want to fuck men who are equal to or better than them, the top 30% of guys fuck everything while the bottom 20% are involuntarily celibate (incels). The average guy is only able to get sex within the confines of a monogamous relationship, a less restrictive version of the old marriage contract.

Now that’s not to say that all the barriers to casual sex have been removed. Feminism destroyed the religious barriers to casual sex, but the evolutionary and cultural barriers still exist. In the post-feminist world, society still believes women should use their sexual capital for securing a monogamous relationship as a test run for marriage.

The sexual liberation of women is a myth. They are more promiscuous then they used to be but they don’t truly want to be liberated, they want consequence-free sexual freedom while being able to keep all the patriarchal sexual privileges.

Some women will trade sex with you outright but the majority will insist on leveraging it for emotional, financial and social resources as they always have. Not because they don’t want to fuck you, they do, but because they believe they deserve these things as part of the package.

Prior to 1960 I wouldn’t blame any woman who acted any differently, being promiscuous for a woman was the social equivalent of leprosy. But since then women have no excuse. The double standard that feminists cry about only exists because they collectively restrict the demand for sex.

By restricting the demand for sex they keep the price of our sexual services low. Of the hundreds of dates I’ve been on I’ve never had a woman pay for me and I’m sure you haven’t either. We’re commended on our salesmanship because that’s all we have, but instead of having to sell myself I’d love to be the person on the other end of the phone with all the money. I’d gladly give up the small amount of prestige of being ladykiller for an equitable sexual exchange.

Women will always be more sexually selective based on evolutionary reasons, but they would fuck way more men than they do now if the cultural barriers were fully removed. If women stopped selling purity men would stop trying to buy it and their sexual privileges would be gone overnight. Feminism has no interest in taking away a woman’s sexual power over men because it’s far too advantageous for them.

In the era of free love, feminists briefly pulled back the curtain, marriage and monogamy were oppressive they said and female sexuality needed to be liberated. You remember seeing the videos of the summer of love at Woodstock, the true nature of women on display.

That era didn’t last very long, most women quietly realized that maybe men and marriage weren’t so oppressive after all. They realized it was nice to have someone to support them emotionally and to help take care of the kids, especially now that they had to work. Plus getting guys to buy you shit and being able to restrict sex as a weapon are some nice privileges.

If the cultural barriers were fully removed women would fuck every guy they thought was hot. From the barista who serves her coffee, to co-workers, to the guy in her yoga class. You get a glimpse of their true nature when you see them drunk and making out with multiple guys on the dancefloor.

Without cultural barriers, nightclubs would be nothing but young, good looking people fucking as opposed to women attention-whoring, teasing and going home to play with themselves. Believe me, in a consequence-free world, young women would be fucking five guys a weekend.

So, the result of the feminist revolution has not been the sexual liberation of women but rather the creation of a hybrid market based on free sexual choice for women but balanced between our traditional customs and our primitive sexual state.

This is a market that would never have been possible under previous historical conditions, but is one that we’re able to sustain now through birth control, abortions and the enforced redistribution of income. In this hybrid market, most women still want to exchange sex for commitment or a relationship that will lead to commitment, but a select few will exchange sex for sex.

So Where Does This Leave You?

As a man things will always be harder for you. We are the sexual slave class. This is reality and here at RLD we don’t argue with reality, instead we play the fuck out of the hand we’re dealt. The way to play your hand is to have a great product and to keep your salesmanship razor sharp.

This will keep you in demand and able to dictate terms to your clients whether its casual or committed. If you get a problem client or a client who wants to renegotiate the contract: fire them. Just make sure you maintain a top notch product with razor sharp game and you’ll always have access to plenty of sexual capital, which is of course the most important resource in any economy.

The post The Definitive Guide To Sexual Economics appeared first on Revolutionary Lifestyle Design.

In this article I’ll show you exactly how to get laid on the first date from how to greet her to how to take off her pants: every step is covered in meticulous detail. These tactics have been refined to a science over the last decade and a half and I promise you guys, this shit is for real.

This is an excerpt from my new book which I’ve expanded on here because I wanted this information out there for free. The first date is a crucial aspect of your sex life and I want you guys to have all the tools you need. Also, the tactics outlined here like staying in rapport and the question/vibe loop are applicable at all times.

As far as screening a girl for being DTF prior to the date I will do this online because I can easily a lot of prospects and can afford to burn leads. I use a shirtless profile and aggressive sexual screening and will invite girls directly to my apartment so I’ll only end up on a first date with girls who are already DTF but aren’t comfortable enough to meet at my place.

If I’ve met the girl from day game I won’t do heavy sexual screening before the date because of the time invested to meet them, meeting girls on foot is much less efficient than online. Also the girls I meet during the day are usually hotter than the ones online so they’re more valuable to me.

It’s up to you if you want to screen a girl before the date, your odds of getting a first date lay will go up but your odds of getting her to meet up will go down. I would say if you have high sexual market value and a ton of prospects it’s a good idea to sexually screen before the date, if you have fewer options you should probably ease up on the screening and aim to convert the girl on the date but it’s a judgement call on your part.

So, to get started you need to get your mind right and assume the close but at the same time don’t be too attached to it because that neediness will show through. Since you’re assuming you’re going to have sex that day, the first thing you need to do is your sex preparation.

Sex Prep

If there’s a good chance you’re going to be having sex with a new girl there are a couple of things you should do before you meet up with her. You want to make sure you’ve eaten a balanced meal at least three hours before the date, anything closer will fuck up your stamina. You should also avoid caffeine because it stimulates your nervous system, making it harder to get an erection, especially if you’re already nervous.

A quarter tab of Cialis, with a doctor’s prescription of course, is a great insurance policy and can make things more fun. A low dose is still effective and won’t give you a headache like higher doses. If you have time you want to make sure you can shit, shower and shave. When shaving make sure your pubic area and nose hairs are cleanly trimmed as well.

If you’re going to shit in your place do it no later than an hour before the date so your washroom has time to air out. Every single girl will use your washroom within the first 15 minutes of getting back to your place. If you’re in a pinch you can use the washroom in your building’s gym.

Instead of using booze to relax, which will fuck up your sex cardio, Phenibut is a great alternative to take the edge off and will make sex feel much more intense. Phenibut and a quarter tab of Cialis will make you a beast.

Your Frame For The Date

You want to come across as relaxed, charming, confident, polite and most importantly, normal. She wants to be relieved you’re not a creepshow so she can feel comfortable enough to fuck you.

Your Clothes For The Date

By the time she shows up you should be freshly showered, groomed and in nice clean clothes. As with anything else in life, first impressions mean everything. If you have a nice body, you should wear a tight t-shirt or sweater. Check out my fashion guide here for more ideas.

I usually wear sweatpants at home, but that’s not a good first impression, so at least put on some nice jeans. If the girl is tall I will wear my boots, which give me an extra inch and a half. For you shorter guys I would suggest the same thing. One thing you should avoid if you can is wearing socks. There is no graceful way to take your socks off and you want your transition to sex to be as smooth as possible.

Setting Up

The first thing you need to do as far as setting up goes is make sure that your place is clean, especially your bathroom. It’s not that she won’t fuck you if your bathroom is dirty, but it’s just not a good look. You should also have condoms within arm’s reach of your bed and a bottle of wine in the fridge in case she needs a drink to loosen up.

Aim to get to the venue on time but don’t worry about her getting there before you because she’ll be at least five minutes late, usually 10. This gives you enough time to get your drink and find a comfortable table away from other humans that faces the door. You also want to adjust the table and chairs so you can easily slip out and give her a hug so that her first impression of you is not you awkwardly struggling to stand up.

On a coffee date, if you have a rare unicorn who gets there on time you can buy her a coffee or whatever she wants. For the average girl who shows up late, let her get up and get her own drink while you message other girls on Tinder. Definitely do not go back, wait in line and pay again for a girl who showed up late.

I always try to avoid alcohol dates but I will go to a bar if the girl insists. In that situation, what she’s saying when she insists is that she won’t be able to go through with having sex with you without some booze in her.

Coffee dates are a better setup than drink dates for a few reasons. First, the price. Coffee dates will cost you about $5, while booze is $30 at the minimum. If you’re a serious player those costs add up. Also, after a couple drinks, your erection strength goes down and so does your cardio, especially if you’ve been drinking beer, which means you won’t be able to put on a peak performance. From just two or three drinks my sex cardio is down to about 80 percent.

Greet, Touch And Compliment

The first thing you want to do when a girl walks in is stand up, tell her it’s nice to meet her and give her a hug. Once she’s settled in I always make sure to pay her a compliment on her looks. This will immediately put her at ease, all women are insecure about their looks. This also sets the tone for sex happening by showing her that you’re sexually attracted. Ideally she’ll compliment you back but it’s no problem if she doesn’t. If she didn’t like your look then she wouldn’t be there.

When I look around at the gym or online I see a lot of guys making preventable mistakes when it comes to their diet and training. Unfortunately there is a lot of bad information out there from so called experts that is either useless, confusing or dangerous. The majority of nutritionists and personal trainers don’t know what they’re talking about and don’t even get me started on the average person. I used to have a 250 lb. coworker lecture me on drinking from my plastic water bottle when she ate Burger King for breakfast and smoked half a pack a day.

Trigger warning: I’m going H.A.M. on this one so prepare to be called out because chances are you probably do one of the things below. With all the garbage information out there I can’t blame you, it took me decades to sift through all the junk and I can tell you I’ve made almost every mistake on this list. So don’t take it personally if you get called out, I just want to make sure you don’t make the same mistakes I did and that you have all the facts for getting healthy and strong. Here are the 20 diet and training mistakes you need to stop making:

1) Overtraining And Not Doing Restorative Exercise

For most guys, training more than 3 days a week while lifting to fatigue on each set will wreak havoc on your body. That means joint problems, stiffness and injuries. Even at a few times a week weightlifting is taxing to your system. I have to do yoga 4 times a week and 30 minutes of stretching every morning just to keep everything loose. Carrying 50 lbs. of extra weight is hard on your body, even though that weight is muscle and not fat the body knows no difference, it still forces your joints and internal organs to work that much harder.

If it wasn’t for vanity I would never touch a weight, my training would be nothing but pushups, squats and yoga. Unfortunately that would mean I would weigh 120 lbs. which is completely unacceptable for a grown ass man. My reason for lifting is 100% based on how having a great body makes me look and feel, being able to walk around at a ripped 170 lbs. makes all the pain and struggle worthwhile. With that said weightlifting does have some positive health benefits like strengthening your bones but lets get real, we’re all in the gym to look good naked. So make sure your workouts are brief, keep training to a few times a week and add stretching and yoga to your routine.

2) Crossfit

Crossfit is an injury factory. Unless you’re a UFC fighter there is no reason to combine weightlifting and explosive movement, this is a recipe for disaster. Lifting weights should be done in slow, controlled movements with complete focus on your body at all times. Doing wind sprints into rapid sets of  bad form deadlifts is just retarded and dangerous. Unless you’re a complete novice lifter you’ll never make the strength gains you could from focused training but you risk injuring yourself and being out of the gym for months.

Don’t even get me started on Tough Mudder or these other competitions Crossfitters advocate. The risk to reward is atrocious, you risk permanent injury to your body for the reward of completing something hard. Instead of playing Ironman on the weekends you could spend that time completing something hard that will benefit every aspect of your life: building a successful business.

3) Not Measuring Results

As the great management guru Peter Drucker says: “What gets measured, gets managed.” To progress in the gym you need to get stronger, to get stronger you need to measure your progress obsessively. Going into the gym with no plan and fucking around on whatever exercise you feel like that day will get you nowhere, just like every other guy in the gym. You need a pre-planned routine and a list of all your personal bests for every exercise.

You should only have one goal when you step in the gym, beating those personal bests. You should also measure the seat position and use the same machines at the same gym every time. Even a small change to your routine will fuck up your measurements. Look at the weight room as a science lab where you want to control every variable to make sure you’re getting as accurate data as possible.

4) Switching Routines Too Often

Switching routines to prevent muscle confusion is the epitome of broscience. Your body responds to one thing and one thing only, the strength of your muscular contraction. The amount of weight you can lift is just a measurement of the strength your muscles can contract. Therefore all you need to do is worry about getting stronger. The exception to this rule is if you have an injury or the exercise hurts you, weighted dips are a terrific strength builder but for a lot of guys it hurts their shoulder.

I’ll admit I’m guilty of this sometimes because I’m always trying to find the best exercise for each muscle group but usually I’m adding something to my routine while still keeping all the other exercises. Try and stick to the same routine built around the key compound movements and save the tinkering for isolation exercises.

5) Running

Consistently running for long periods of time is the best way to destroy your joints. Running is the highest impact form of cardio there is but despite this the running cult is even stronger than the Crossfit cult. If you want to use your knees past 60, give the running a rest, especially if you’re a lifter with already taxed joints and 50 lbs. of muscle hammering the ground with each heel strike. Use the stationary bike or the elliptical instead, you won’t get the same runners high but its no impact cardio, that’s a no brainer substitution. Look at the body of a champion runner, do you really want to look like this guy?

6) Playing Sports

This was a tough one for me to give up because as a kid sports were my life. Sports are fun and as a kid being good at sports is the best way to become popular. But once you hit 25, playing sports consistently means you’re going to get injured. I’m sure you see this all the time with your friends and coworkers, like your 37 year old colleague who is hobbling around on his ankle for 2 months because he rolled over on it playing soccer. Unless you’re a professional athlete getting paid millions of dollars a year to destroy your body, it’s time to hang up your jersey.

7) Focusing On Functional Strength

This is another favorite of the weekend warriors, guys who spend hours swinging a kettlebell around for a small increase in their indoor rock climbing abilities. These are the same guys who talk about how they don’t want to get “too big” because apparently they don’t like easy pussy. In our modern world the only functional strength you need is the ability to lift your hands to a keyboard. Chances are you get enough practice in your 50 hour work week.

I prefer to focus on panty wetting non-functional strength as opposed to the guy who spends his week fucking around with a medicine ball for that slight edge in his coed dodgeball game. Functional strength is only relevant to a very select group of men: they’re called professional athletes. The guys that they get paid millions of dollars a year to destroy their bodies by applying that functional strength.

8) Olympic Lifts

These are the most dangerous lifts you can do and completely unnecessary for building a fit body. Olympic lifts should be left to actual Olympians, guys willing to sacrifice their health for a taste of glory as opposed to a Crossfit participation trophy. Before you think about doing an olympic lift, have another look at the picture at the top of the page.

9) Doing Barbell Exercises Without A Spotter

To get stronger you need to push to fatigue on every set, that means pushing the weight to where you can’t lift any more. If you do this on a set of bench presses without a spotter that bar is going to come down and crush your chest. Most guys are able to get away with this because they’re half-assing their training and finish every set without giving 100%. There are tons of great substitutions for these exercises like using dumbbells or machines. I’ve personally grown more from using the Hammer Strength V Squat machine than I ever did from free weight squats.

10) Hiring A Personal Trainer From The Gym

For the price of a mortgage payment your local gym will provide you with a 90 lb., 22 year old asian girl who is supposed to show you how to tack on 50 lbs. of lean muscle. She’ll do it by setting you up with known strength building exercises like jumping jacks and Bosu Ball crunches. I always feel so bad for the guy who came to the gym for the first time in his life as I watch his trainer parading him around the gym doing retarded functional strength exercises that get in everyone’s way.

The qualifications for a personal trainer at a gym are non-existent, many of the guys I see training clients are out of shape. The fact that they let out of shape people who complete a weekend certification course train others should be criminal. A good trainer will have his own business but even a good trainer isn’t necessary. Just follow my routine, study Youtube videos for the right form and practice for a few weeks with light weights until you can execute flawlessly.

11) Thinking That Eating Food Will Make You Lose Weight

Despite the miracle weight loss foods you read about online, you don’t lose weight from eating food, you lose weight from not eating food. The only way to lose weight is to maintain a daily caloric deficit. For all intents and purposes a calorie is a calorie, to lose weight you need to eat less whether it’s the ice cream diet or the atkins diet.

I eat plenty of carbs and happily maintain sub 10% body fat because I keep a close eye on how many calories I eat. To maintain my weight at 170 lbs. I need 2000 calories a day, that’s only two solid meals.

The reason people lose more weight on high protein, low carb diets is because protein is the most filling nutrient. It’s easy to eat 1500 calories of ice cream in a sitting but try eating 5 steaks at a time. The other thing to be aware of is that a high protein, low carb diet will cause you to lose water weight making it look like you’re getting slimmer but in reality you’re just manipulating your body. I’m not saying this is a bad thing, just be aware of the true cause behind the effect.

12) Eating Too Much Protein

The amount of protein you need to build muscle, just like the amount of calories you need, is way less than you think. I know every forum in the world says you need a gram of protein per lb. of bodyweight but that’s actually not true. With the exception of maybe elite level bodybuilders carrying 90 lbs. or more of lean muscle, you only need at most, 120 grams of protein per day.

I’m speaking from experience here, having built and maintained 50 lbs. of lean muscle on under 120 grams per day. I’ve also choked down over 200 grams of protein per day in the past with no noticeable effect on muscle growth but a noticeable effect on my kidneys, gut and wallet. The protein myth was started by supplement companies to get you to buy their shitty protein powders. If you don’t believe me check out these four studies or this book by Brad Pilon on how much protein you really need:

• Walberg et al. in 1988 found that .73 grams/pound was sufficient for nitrogen balance
• Tarnopolsky et al. in 1988 found 0.55g/Lb sufficient for bodybuilders
• Lemon et al. in 1992 found recommended 0.75g/Lb
• Tarnopolsky et al. in 1992 found that 0.64g/Lb and 1.10g/Lb were not significantly different

13) Eating Six Times A Day

I’ve tried eating 3 times a day, 6 times a day and even once a day and I can tell you with complete certainty that meal frequency has no effect on gaining or maintaining muscle. I’ve settled on 2 meals a day because that’s what gives me the most energy but as long as you get enough calories in you can eat whenever you want.

The only guys who need to eat 6 times a day are professional bodybuilders who walk around off season at 300 lbs., this is because they literally can’t consume all the food they need to eat in 3 meals a day. Also, when you try to eat 6 meals a day you will never feel full. You’ll spend your day in a state of constant low level hunger. Don’t live your life out of a Tupperware container, enjoy it and eat whenever you want.

14) Treating The Paleo Diet As Gospel

In the manosphere we love our paleo diet and with good reason, you’re eating natural foods that we’re evolved for like meat, fruits and vegetables. But just because it’s paleo doesn’t mean it’s good for you and just because it’s not paleo doesn’t mean you shouldn’t eat it.

Coconut milk, a paleo staple destroyed my gut and woke me up with the most insane case of heartburn I’ve ever had. The paleo diet also advocates eating lots of saturated fat. It’s true that saturated fat is fine in moderation but tons of saturated fat is not good for you, ask any cardiologist. This is what actual scientists believe, not internet bloggers.

Don’t get me wrong, eating from an evolutionary standpoint is great but just because cavemen didn’t eat it doesn’t mean its bad for you. A delicious serving of perfectly spiced pad thai on white rice is not going to kill you, the Okinawans eat tons of white rice and they outlive all of us.

The paleo diet is also boring as fuck which means it’s hard to sustain long term. Life is short and tomorrow isn’t guaranteed, there is no way I’m eating nothing but meat and vegetables for the rest of my life. The paleo diet is good as a base but if you want a sustainable diet you can’t be that restrictive.

White rice, bread and pasta aren’t going to kill you unless you’re allergic to them, neither is having a cheat meal a few times a week. Don’t be that guy who goes out to the bar with his friends and can’t eat or drink anything on the menu.

15) Eating Things You’re Allergic To

Most of you guys probably eat things you’re allergic to. If your stomach rumbles after a meal or you get gas or heartburn chances are you’re allergic to that food. I didn’t realize I was allergic to dairy until my late 20’s, once I cut it out my permanently congested nose went away and I stopped getting colds all the time.

The main source of food allergies are from FODMAPs. FODMAP is an acronym for foods that are poorly absorbed by the small intestine. Common FODMAPs are wheat, garlic, onions, some fruits, dairy and as above, coconut milk. For me, wheat and fruits are no problem but garlic, onions, dairy and coconut milk are.

The best way to test out allergies is by eating FODMAPs individually and monitoring your body. If you get any symptoms, cut the food out or eat it in moderation. This is crucial for building a fit body because you need to get all the nutrients you can from your food, this isn’t possible when your food is not absorbed properly.

16) High Volume Training

Unless you’re a masochist high volume training is not the way to go. A set of 40 squats to fatigue is absolute brutality, compare this to a set of 8 and you’ll never go back. There is no reason to do 40 reps when you can get the same benefit from 8. The only exception is with slow twitch muscles like the calves, they usually need to be worked at 30 sets or more.

Some people will even argue that you’re fine with one rep training and I would agree. If I had access to resistance machines that could measure PSI I would do one rep training with a focus on micro-increases in the amount of pressure I can lift every week.

Unfortunately 1 rep training is not a good method with weights because weights are an imprecise measuring system. You could be stuck between 0 and 1 rep for weeks at a time, not knowing if you’re getting stronger or not. So stick to the tried and tested 8 to 12 rep range and you’ll be good.

17) Reading Bodybuilding.com

Bodybuilding.com is the home of broscience and guys who will call you small because you’re only carrying 60 lbs. of lean muscle. Recognize that for sites to get traffic they need to produce a ton of content, when it comes to weightlifting, 90% of what you need to know can be explained in no more than 10 posts.

That means sites like bodybuilding.com need to pump out lots of confusing garbage on a daily basis. There is some good information on the forums, especially if you’re looking for human reviews of a product, but take everything with a grain of salt.

18) Eating Big

On sites like the above, eating bigger is the answer to almost every rookie question. Unfortunately eating big past your first 5 months of consistent training will just make you fat, I speak from experience. What they don’t tell you is that you need to eat big and take steroids to get really big. Your natural genetic potential is only 35 to 50 lbs. at the most depending on your body.

You can eat big all you want but you will never have a bodybuilder’s physique without drugs. A pound of muscle is only 3500 calories, past your first year of training you’ll be lucky to put on a pound a month, that’s a daily caloric surplus of only 116 calories. This is why most guys spend most of the year getting fat and building a small amount of muscle and then spend the rest of the year getting lean and losing most of the muscle they built. I went through that cycle at least 3 times until I smartened up.

The best way to build muscle without getting fat is to eat for the amount of muscle you expect to gain. For example a second year trainee can realistically expect to gain a pound of muscle a month which is about 3500 calories. Let’s say he works out 12 times a month, that means on training days he should aim to eat a caloric surplus of 292 calories to hit his goal.

You’ll know that you’ve gone too far when you get a small roll around your stomach. Also, recognize that gains past your second and third year of training will be extremely slow so eat accordingly. Once you’ve hit at least 35 lbs. of lean muscle and you’re not breaking personal bests after months on end, you’re probably tapped out of the amount of muscle you can put on naturally.

19) Starting Strength/Strong Lifts

Before I go in on Coach Rippetoe I want to say that by all accounts he seems like a good guy who sincerely wants to help his students. I also know that many of you guys followed or have followed his method and a lot of what he says is useful. With that said, for a guy with the most popular bodybuilding program online, this is what he looks like:

And this is what I, the internet blogger who wrote How To Give A Girl A Rimjob Orgasm, look like:

There is no way I should look better than him. It’s true that Mark is a bit older than I am and he was a big dude back in his powerlifting heyday (thanks to a ton of gear) but as far as I’m concerned, if you’re giving professional advice on bodybuilding you damn well better look like Victor Pride.

The core of the Starting Strength program is doing 3 sets of 5 reps on every exercise. Doing 3 sets of any exercise is not only unnecessary but is counterproductive, especially for natural trainees. On the beginner’s routine you will be squatting nine times a week and deadlifting twice, that is insane.

As we covered already, getting stronger is all that matters, that means the first set is all that counts. Unless you’re giving less than 100% on your first set, you’ll never be able to break a personal best on your second set. Arthur Jones figured out back in the 70’s that one set is all you need but unfortunately most people don’t listen to him.

20) Trying To Cut Weight And Eat Healthy At The Same Time 

If you’re trying to cut weight and already eat healthy this is no problem, but chances are if you’re overweight you’re not a healthy guy. Cutting weight for an extended period of time is hard enough but adding a restrictive diet of foods you hate is torture. It’s also not sustainable and is a big reason people are not able to follow through on their diet.

If you’re trying to lose 40 lbs. on a caloric deficit at a pound a week that’s 10 months straight of cutting weight, not an easy thing to do. Instead of trying to eat healthy at the same time, just add some healthy fruits and vegetables into the mix but still give yourself a treat to look forward to at the end of the day and a cheat meal or two per week. Otherwise it’s only a matter of time before you crack and binge out at Mcdonald’s. Some good, moderately healthy, high protein options to look forward to are smoked meat sandwiches, cheeseburgers made with high grade meat and chicken shwarmas.

The post 20 Diet And Training Mistakes You Need To Stop Making appeared first on Revolutionary Lifestyle Design.

I worked in sales for the better part of a decade and the skills I learned in that time are the most important ones I have in business and in life. Everything in life is sales, from companies selling you products to your girlfriend selling you on marriage. You are selling and being sold every minute of the day.

Now I’m not going to lie and tell you I liked being in sales because I hated every minute. I don’t have to lie to you because I’m not your boss and I’m not a sales trainer. Every degrading cold call, every rude client, every sales meeting, I hated it all. Hate isn’t even strong enough, I loathed being a salesman down to my soul but it was that loathing that motivated me to go all in on my own businesses and never work for anyone again.

Despite how much I hated it at the time, what I’ve learned from almost a decade in hard-nosed sales is invaluable. At the end of the day I came out of the meat grinder tougher, more skilled and holding a wad of cash to fund my new life.

When it comes to your mission, you’re going to need capital and you’re going to need to know how to sell. Despite the fact that you’ll hate your life, sales is the best place for you to make bank and hone your craft. Sales is one of the rare industries where a guy under 30 can get his hands on the cash he needs to buy his freedom. A good salesman can make over $200,000 per year and even a half decent salesmen should be making $70,000. There are few industries that give non-specialists that kind of pay, especially young guys.

If you’re planning to go into sales or are already there, look at your time in the game as B school for hustlers. Learn how to close, learn how to service your customers and most importantly, learn how to toughen up in the face of stress and rejection. But don’t do what I did and give the corporate world most of your 20’s. Grind out a few years, hoard your money and get the fuck out.

In this four part guide I’m going to break down the game in-depth from an industry overview in this article, to what to expect from life in sales in part 2, to how to sell in part 3 and how to service your customers in part 4. I want to give you everything I know so you don’t make the same mistakes I did and so you can get the most amount of cash and skills out of your time in sales. Before we get into the job terminology, sales environments and breakdown of the key industries, you need to understand what sales really is:

What Sales Really Is 

Sales is manipulation. A great salesman is a great manipulator, no exceptions. The dictionary definition of manipulation is: “to change by artful or unfair means so as to serve one’s purpose.”  But I would take it one step further and say that all communication is manipulation. Everything you communicate to people is to serve your purposes, how artful and how unfair you are depends on your level of skill and your ethics. Even when you’re helping others it’s only because it makes you happy. Everyone is manipulative, a good salesman is just better at it.

Sales training is nothing but learning how to manipulate others and how to lie effectively. Sales training is school for sociopaths. Everyone lies, lying is social lubricant but average people are rank amateurs, salesmen are professionals. That’s another thing your boss and sales trainers won’t tell you. All the objection management, inflection training and closing pressure you learn is not to service your clients better, it’s to make their money yours.

Now, manipulation on its own isn’t going to get you paid. What gets you paid is solving a problem. And like everyone else, your potential client will want the best product for the best price to solve his problem. Your job as a salesman is to manipulate your potential client into thinking that you have the best product for the best price. Whether you actually do is just a bonus.

Once you’ve got interest, getting someone to buy from you is just a matter of overcoming their objections which are only about two things, trust and money. Trust that you can solve their problem and whether your price is worth having that problem solved.

How ethical you are in solving your clients’ problems is up to you. Telling the truth to your clients is a luxury and it will cost you money, it’s cost me plenty of deals over the years. I’m not going to preach to you guys but I truly believe it was worth it. You’ll never feel good about yourself when you defraud people for a living no matter how good you are at rationalizing. Try and hold onto as much of your soul as you can. If that means you need to quietly kill a deal where the client isn’t a good fit then do it.

Just recognize in advance that you’ll be expected to do things that your conscience won’t agree with. And recognize that as long as you try and be a good man you’ll never be able to compete with the best salesmen. The best salesmen have no conscience, they’ll shove a damaged, overpriced home down a newlywed couple’s throat without a second thought.

The Importance Of Sales

The sales force is the most important department of any company because if you can’t sell your product, you don’t have a business. Sales is the only department that generates revenue, every other department is an expense. Ironically salesmen are treated worse than almost all other employees for the very reason that they are so vital. If the HR manager fucks up and forgets to fill the diversity quota nothing happens because her job is irrelevant. When you fuck up, companies lose money. Most companies can’t afford to have their salesmen fucking up so they drive them hard and replace them often.

Sales pays well not because its rocket science but because no one wants to do it. Most people can’t even make a cold call let alone endure one week on a high pressure floor. Your willingness to endure pain is what will get you paid. When women complain about making less than men it’s because they refuse to take jobs like these, in fact there are almost no women in sales (selling real estate part time doesn’t count). The word is salesman for a reason, women work in marketing where they spend money that men bring in, just like in relationships. They can’t handle the constant beating you have to take while still forcibly imposing your will.

Sales Job Terminology

Inside Sales

• Inside sales means outbound phone sales with the addition of email and Linkedin as secondary tools
• In some cases you’ll have inbound calls but they will usually go to the senior salesmen
• Inside sales is generally less prestigious and pays less than outside sales because almost all high level business deals are done face to face
• Many guys never transition from inside to outside sales because they can create a great illusion on the phone but can’t present well in person
• Inside sales also includes dealerships

Outside Sales

• Generally you’ll need a valid driver’s license and a car although some companies give you a company car
• You’ll usually have a higher base than inside sales plus a car and phone allowance
• Outside sales means you’ll be responsible for a territory or region and will have access to all the potential clients in that region
• Having a territory works to your advantage because it’s harder for other salesman to steal your clients, in inside sales territory is much more of a grey area
• Outside sales is generally more prestigious so you’ll usually have more freedom than an inside salesman
• You’ll generally be measured on the amount of client visits you make as opposed to the amount of calls you make
• Many outside salesmen work from home and only come into the office occasionally
• A friend of mine in outside sales makes over 6 figures and only works 2 days a week

Hybrid Sales

• Hybrid sales is a combination of both inside and outside sales, it’s also the most effective type of selling there is
• It’s primarily an inside sales role with an objective of usually 1 or 2 face to face meetings per week
• It’s a smart position for most companies to have because it squeezes the most out of their salesman

Short Sales Cycle 

• A sales cycle is the amount of time it takes to close a deal as well as the speed in which you get paid
• In general the shorter the sales cycle, the less skill is required of the salesman
• On short cycles the focus is on using pressure and emotional appeals to close deals in one or two calls at the most
• Picking up girls is also a short sale, guys who think otherwise get friendzoned

Long Sales Cycle

• The longer the sale, the more relationship building and servicing the client is necessary
• In general the longer the close, the more complex the deal and the more skill needed from the salesman
• An extreme example of a long close would be in Aerospace, these guys usually wait 3 or more years for a deal to close but can pick up a 7 figure commission when it does

Products 

• Products are usually cheaper and require less contact with buyers, referred to as customers
• Product-based sales generally relies on volume because the size of the deal is smaller and in many cases there is no recurring revenue

Services

• Services cost more and require more consistent contact with buyers, referred to as clients
• Service-based businesses usually have fewer clients but get more money per client, are harder to close and have a recurring revenue model
• In general it’s easier to make targets from recurring revenue than from incremental, it also means you can get paid without having to do anything for that month

Hunting 

• Many ads for salesmen will emphasize having a hunter mentality
• A hunter is a guy who can aggressively bring in new clients
• You should be wary of any company emphasizing a hunter mentality because it means they probably are unethical and burn through a lot of clients
• When guys brag about being a “hunter, not a farmer” like many sales managers do, it means they rip their clients off

Farming

• Farming is servicing your clients properly and building relationships
• A good salesman is a mix of both a hunter and a farmer, a guy who can bring in and retain business
• The best way to retain business is to deliver on what you promised and treat your clients well, that means if you want to keep clients don’t be a scumbag like Jordan Belfort

B2C

• B2C means business to consumer or selling products to individuals
• With the exception of financial services and big ticket items this is usually the lower end of sales

B2B

• B2B means business to business or selling products to businesses
• These deals are usually more complex, take longer to close and need more skill on the part of the salesman

Sales Job Environments

1) Boiler Room/Call Center

Expectations

• 200 calls per day
• 2 to 3 hours per day on the phone
• No outside sales
• Hit your numbers

Perks

• None

Rundown

• Call centers are usually run by mid size to large companies operating legally or are a department within a large company
• Most companies use call centers as an outsourced, low-level “sales force” to sell low-margin, short sales cycle products and services in volume
• I use sales force lightly because it’s more like a zombie army than a team of professionals with many call centers not allowing any deviation from the script
• Boiler rooms are usually smaller organizations operating either illegally or at semi-legally

Culture

• Horrible, call centers are suicide factories
• Usually some kind of illegal or highly unethical activities going on (with the exception of call centres run by large companies)
• Revolving door culture, salesmen are easily expendable and the majority quit or get fired quickly
• Dress code is usually casual or at best half-assed business casual
• Low quality of workers: dropouts, new immigrants, young kids
• Management are usually human garbage who resort to tactics like fear, intimidation and yelling to motivate their staff
• I can tell you from first hand experience what a nightmare these jobs are but they make an amazing training ground for salesmen

2) SME (Small To Medium Sized Enterprise)

Expectations

• 10 to 70 calls per day for inside sales
• 5 meetings a week for outside sales
• 1 hour plus on the phone
• Potential for travel
• Hit your numbers

Perks

• Car allowance, possibly company car
• Possibly company phone
• Travel expenses on rare occasions when you do travel

Rundown

• In general your earning potential will be less than a large company so these companies will sell you on the potential to move up the ranks quickly but this is usually bullshit
• Positions are more solidified than they look and when new positions open up, many times they’ll bring in people from the outside, it really takes a lot to get off the sales floor
• Also many SMEs operate month-to-month and always have to worry about meeting payroll
• This means they are quicker to fire under-performing salesmen and will generally put more pressure on you than large companies

Culture

• Culture and dress code vary but are usually less uptight than large corporations
• Sometimes you can luck out with a fun, all guy culture especially if you’re in a branch environment without an HR staff
• Many times you’ll be working face to face with the owner who has a vested interest in you working hard and will usually walk by your desk a few times a day to hover over you

Conclusions

• SME’s are the most variable sales enivorenment
• Sometimes they will be laid back but sometimes SMEs with a small sales team will put more pressure on you than call centers because you represent so much of their revenue
• Working in the SME is not necessarily bad but I would always choose a large company if you can get the work

3) Large Company

Expectations

• Call volumes rarely measured
• Call times rarely measured
• 3 to 5 meetings per week as most large companies use outside reps
• Expect to travel, in a lot of cases cross-country
• Hit your numbers

Perks

• Car allowance or company car
• Company phone
• Travel Expenses

Rundown

• In general large companies are the best places to work, pay the best, have the best benefits and have the most career security
• The downside is it takes forever to move up and you can forget about making the C Suite
• Large companies generally sell expensive and complex products and services
• Sales cycles are usually 6 months to a few years
• Large companies can easily sustain these long sales cycles because they have access to a ton of cash and don’t have to worry about making payroll

Culture

• Large company culture is boring, uptight, politically correct and usually comes with a strict dress code and code of conduct
• Unfortunately there are plenty of HR girls and office managers named Barb or Marni wasting company money on enforcing this bullshit
• Most non-salespeople who work at large companies are neutered, culturally white, married drones who make terrible worksafe jokes

Conclusions

• In general large companies are by far the best places to work
• Your salary, commission and benefits will always be highest at a large company
• Job stability is better at a large company because they have a lower turnover rate and less chance of going bankrupt
• You work nowhere near the owner and the revenue you bring in won’t make or break the company, this means you’ll have a much longer leash and more opportunity to hide and slack off
• You can forget about moving up, although for our purposes you want to own your own business anyway so that doesn’t really matter

The post The Definitive Guide To Sales Part 1: Industry Overview appeared first on Revolutionary Lifestyle Design.

In part 1 of this four part series we outlined the entire industry from top to bottom. Now that you have an idea of what sales jobs are available we’re going to get into what you need to know before taking a job, how to interview, the key workplace strategies you need to survive and exactly what to expect from life as a salesman.

Like I told you in part 1, I’m not your manager and I’m not a sales trainer so I don’t have to lie to you. This post will show you the day-to-day brutality of what to expect from life in sales. I definitely don’t recommend a career in sales but selling and servicing your customers is the most marketable skill you can learn in business. And a sales job is the quickest way for a young guy to make money without selling drugs. So here’s what you need to know:

Know Exactly What You’re Looking For In A Job

Before you start your research you need to know exactly what you’re looking for and the criteria you won’t accept eg. you want a job located downtown with a base pay of $40,000 and a company car. Your expectations should be dependent on your skill set, the more marketable you are the more you can demand.

The good thing about sales is that there are always tons of jobs available (because no one wants to sell) which gives you the power of choice. Stick to your guns on what you want and don’t let the recruiter try and sell you a job that doesn’t match your criteria, remember they are salesmen too and all they care about is getting you to sign a contract.

How To Research Jobs

Treat your job research as a full time job, if you do this you can easily have a new job within a month. You should be able to send out at least twenty resumes a day. The best site for finding jobs is indeed.com, it’s an aggregator of all other job sites.

You should also sign up with a few recruiting agencies, ideally ones that specialize in filling sales positions. Many of them will just spam blast your resume but the more options you have the better.

What You Need To Know Before Interviewing

Most of this information you can get online but some of it you’ll need a recruiter to get for you. If you’re not using a recruiter then get as much as you can online. Many times the recruiter won’t know all this stuff (because they’re not very good) so get them to ask for you and call you back when they have all the details.

Remember, when dealing with a recruiter you’re the client in the relationship so you have the power. Once you get past the introductory meeting, never meet a recruiter until you have all the details you need, many times they deliberately hold off/manipulate information to get you in the office so they can sell you in person.

First you need to find what the company is like, what the average age is, how aggressive the culture is etc. A company that sells itself as young and aggressive almost always means high pressure and unethical. The recruiter will usually give you a rundown but the website is a great place to look as well.

You want to find out what kind of guy your boss is, what his interests are, what his style is, what he likes to see in the guys he manages. Linkedin and Facebook are your friends here. Ideally you also want to know what’s required of you in terms of call time, call volume and travel time.

The most important aspect is what your OTE is (On Track Earnings) but take it with a grain of salt, unethical companies will inflate this by as much as 30%-40% in an effort to get you through the door.

Your OTE should be minimum 60k for your first year, ideally 70k or more. Glassdoor the fuck out of the job first though, this should get you an idea of salary, commission and culture. If you can’t find your job on Glassdoor then search the company’s competitors to get an approximate idea of the industry.

Find out what the top guys make, you want to hear over $200k. If you hear the top guys are only making $100k that means the company average is probably only about $50k, not good. Find what the turnover rate is, if it’s high they might not flat out tell you so listen carefully to any hesitation from the recruiter when they answer this question. If it’s a company that promotes itself as young and aggressive then I can guarantee you they will have a high turnover rate. You should try and avoid these companies if you can.

What Kind Of Job You Should Aim For

My advice is to apply for outside sales jobs at big companies. SMEs sell dreams on mobility but that’s usually bullshit. The pay is worse, the benefits are worse, they’re always at risk of going under and they will breath down your neck on targets. You also can’t hide at small companies like you can in big corporations.

Aim to stay out of phone sales if you can, phone sales is shit and once you’re in it’s harder to get out as company’s look for experience in outside sales. They don’t want 35 year old phone monkeys.

The only time large companies take inexperienced salesmen is coming straight out of university. If you’re a nice looking white kid who presents well then aim for an outside sales job with a large company straight out of school. It’s cushier, pays better and you don’t have to work as hard.

How To Interview

You want to present a well dressed, confident, aggressive alpha male, this is what every sales manager is looking for. You should always come correct in a tailored suit and tie, this doesn’t have to be expensive though, a nice suit from Zara and tailoring will only cost you about $350. I’ve been hired on site twice and at least 50% of that was from how I look. In a properly tailored suit you will look better than 100% of guys.

When you walk in the room remember to keep that chest out, back straight, speak from the diaphragm, and give solid eye contact combined with a nice firm handshake. You can be scared shitless on the inside and feel like a little boy in your dad’s clothes but on the outside you need to be cool as a fan, that’s what sales is.

Expect to be asked about your job history, your previous salary, what your targets were and what challenges you overcame. If you have no sales background you should have a story as to why you think you would be great at the job.

When he asks you why you want to be in sales the answer he’s looking for is money, he wants guys who are hungry for money. You should also mention sports or other competitions where you’ve excelled and how that will translate to excelling at sales.

If you’ve been fired or quit your last job you should have a good story for that, even if you have to lie and get a friend to act as your reference. Getting fired is a tough position to sell yourself from. Ideally you want to be coming straight out of school or be already employed at another company.

If you’re interviewing for an SME you can lie your fucking ass off because they never do proper background checks, I guarantee they won’t call your university to see if you graduated. Barb the lazy office manager would rather go for her fifth smoke break then do the necessary due diligence.

My last 3 jobs have been built on lies, I lied about graduating university, my sales experience and the amount of money I made. For my first sales job I even invented a company and got my friend to play my ex boss.

For another I convinced my ex manager to extend the amount of time I worked for the company and the amount I made. When it comes to my survival I do what it takes. Lying also might be necessary if you have a criminal record, this is the last thing employers want to see.

Worst case scenario you get caught and don’t get the job, even then, you’re a fucking salesman, it’s your job to lie. Your resume is not a legal document so they have no grounds, plus a company wouldn’t waste their time, they would just move on. If they catch you down the road years later you’ll get fired but you shouldn’t be working a job 5 years from now, you should be working on your mission.

When it comes to large companies, unfortunately they will do a criminal background check, call your university and thoroughly check your references. They have a whole team of HR girls for that kind of busywork. Almost all of them will need to see a degree and a clean record. I’ve known many guys confined to small and mid-tier companies for these reasons alone.

You should also be prepared to sell something, a lot of sales managers will use the old school method of asking you to sell them a pen, it’s dumb but you should have at least five features and benefits of buying a pen.

When you’re interviewing, try to get an idea if you can work for this guy. All sales managers are swine but if he rubs you the wrong way off the bat that’s a really bad sign since this is him on his best behavior. Only take the job if you find the guy tolerable.

What To Expect

1) You’ll Hate Your Manager

I’ve met some of the worst examples of human garbage in my sales career, not Jordan Belfort bad but only because they didn’t have his intelligence or organizational abilities. Most sales managers are sociopaths.

I’ve had exactly one good manager, he’s a friend to this day but 9 times out of 10 your manager will lie to your face and sell you a dream that doesn’t exist. He’ll treat you like shit and instead of telling you the deal he will insult your intelligence by selling you the same way you sell your clients all day long.

To see what your manager really thinks of you watch Alec Baldwin’s phenomenal speech in Glengarry Glen Ross. A must watch movie for any aspiring salesman.

2) You’ll Hate Your Clients

Your clients won’t treat you as badly as your boss but they won’t treat you much better. You’re expendable to them and since you’re always calling from a position of weakness many won’t have a problem ordering you around like an Applebee’s waitress.

The worst offenders are low level functionaries like marketing managers or secretaries. Since they don’t have any real power they will use a sales call to posture like they do. They will act like a decision maker when the only thing they’re allowed to decide is what cake to order for staff birthday parties.

With your own business you can afford to fire your problem clients, in someone else’s business you can’t because you have targets to meet. The last thing your manager wants to hear is you turning away business.

3) You Live And Die By Your Targets

Sales pays well because it’s shit, and not just because you have to make 100 cold calls a day. Compared to the pressure of meeting your monthly target cold calling is a breeze. You think about your target in the shower, on the weekends, when you’re at family dinners, it never stops.

You’re only as good as the number you put up on the board that month. Last month means nothing, last year is a lifetime a way. You are one bad quarter away from being fired at all times, in some companies one bad month away.

4) Lying Is Built Into Your Targets

All salesman lie, no exceptions, anyone who says otherwise is selling you. Lying is built in to your targets. To consistently hit 100% of plan you have to lie. You have to get some clients who aren’t a great fit for your product to buy or gouge your existing clients based on their gullibility. If not you’re only going to hit 80% of your target. You can’t tell the truth and hit your targets consistently.

The more unethical the company, the greater the lies expected, check out The Wolf Of Wall Street to get an idea of the worst. Those guys were working on 100% deception.

Whether it’s outright lying or manipulating the truth it’s all the same thing. The only time you can sell without lying is when you control the targets and the product. At RLD I’m in charge which means I can be completely honest with you guys. In fact I built my whole site around being honest and I love not having to compromise myself. Do you think I could ever write an article like this if I was working in Corporate America? Not a chance.

Every day in sales is an ethical challenge. My advice to you is try and keep as much of your integrity as you can. At the end of the day you have to look yourself in the mirror and be able to sleep at night.

Lying and pushiness did not come naturally to me, my childhood was spent watching my mom give money to every homeless person on the street. Despite some of the stuff I write about on here in many ways I’m still a boy scout, I truly hate to betray people’s trust.

I would try to keep my lies small and outwork the rest of the team to make my numbers. Sometimes I would quietly kill deals when I knew it wasn’t a good fit for the guy, especially if he was a small business owner.

But when it came down to it and I was behind on my target I would do what I had to do to hit it.  I’m not proud of it but when it comes down to my survival I will always do what I have to do. With that said I’m an angel compared to some of the guys I worked with who were more then happy to rip their clients faces off, it was funny to them how dumb their clients were.

I was a good salesman but I was never an elite salesman. You can’t be an elite salesman without being a sociopath. To be elite means you have to be an elite level liar and manipulator. You need to sell at least 20 % more than your fellow salesman and that means persuading people who don’t really want to buy. To be elite you need to be able to take a nice newlywed couple and shove a damaged home down their throats. Or sell a young idealistic college graduate into a pyramid scheme.

Many companies only exist because of deceptive practices, I worked for two of them. If our clients were able to see our floor and processes we would not have kept a single one.

5) Sales Is Uncomfortable 

Sales is the hardest white collar job. Women will always make less than men because they can’t sell. In hard nosed financial sales we only had 1 out of 100 applications come from a woman and they never lasted more than a year.

Men make more than women not because men are smarter but because men are mentally tougher, women can’t take the beating. One week in hard nosed sales would have most women in tears. Only tough, working class girls can handle sales but most of them never make it out of the call centre environment. Middle class girls flock to cushy jobs in marketing.

Even most guys can’t deal with the discomfort of having to constantly break rapport and harass people. Fear of provoking a negative reaction in someone is normal. That’s why your entire training is based around overcoming this fear.

6) Failure Is Built Into Your Targets

Failure, like lying is built into your targets. You’re either supposed to get fired or move up, usually get fired. You’re supposed to burn out, that’s built into your targets. Your targets go up every year and eventually you won’t be able to hit them, that’s by design.

That way your book can be passed on to other guys without having to pay your salary. Then they can bring in a new, young, hungry guy for cheaper and let him build up another book of business.

Companies love to fire salesman because they inherit clients and release a salary. Especially in industries like ad sales where commissions are booked in advance. Firing salesman means you can keep years worth of future commissions. When I left ad sales I left with at least $100,000 in deals on the table that I hadn’t been paid on.

7) You’ll Burn Out

After Dealing with all this bullshit you will burn out. Most guys either quit or get fired within three years.

The standard arc is guy gets hired, he buys into the company dream but over time slowly starts to hate the company, his manager and his coworkers. By year three he’s burnt out, negative and on his way to getting canned. Then he finds another company and repeats the same process.

Some older guys are just permanently burnt out, they’ve been burnt out for the last decade. But they have a mortgage, kids, car payments and no way out. Most of these guys have major drinking or drug problems.

8) Sales Will Toughen You Up

Before I started in sales I didn’t even like calling the pizza man. I was not only raised to be extremely polite but I’m also Canadian which means that harassing random people on the phone was literally the last thing I wanted to do.

But after working close to a decade in the meat grinder I can pitch a CEO of a multi billion dollar company on advertising to a venture capitalist on investing in my tech startup without flinching. I can pitch them in the boardroom, on their way to the washroom at a conference or at their company Christmas party. After that kind of training picking up a girl off the street is a joke.

Workplace Strategies

1) Make Your Boss Like You

The most important strategy in the workplace is having your boss like you. It’s very easy to fire a salesman and if your boss doesn’t like you it’s just a matter of time. Forget about being an alpha male, the best way to make your boss like you is to kiss his ass. Show him you have the same interests, same sense of humor, whatever you have to do. It’s a matter of your survival because your resources are at his command.

As a wise man once said: know your role and shut your mouth. When you sign that contract your role is slave, the contract might as well be written in blood. Acting defiant means nothing, you’re still a slave, it will only make things harder for you.

With that said there is a right way to kiss ass and that’s to become his friend or as close as you can. Show him you’re a cool guy but still defer to him, kissing too much ass makes you look like a bitch. You still need the guy to respect you and other salesman will hate you if they see you kissing your boss’s ass all day.

Dressing well and asserting yourself is important, you want to present the image of a winner. Many sales managers are functional sociopaths and will ride weaker salesmen with no mercy because they know they’ll take it. Don’t let yourself become the office whipping boy. Every sales floor has one, usually they have families or demanding girlfriends and can’t leave no matter how badly they’re treated.

You want to establish yourself quickly as a winner and a producer, someone your manager is afraid to lose. It will get you leverage in asking for more money as well as taking time off and having on the job freedom.

Never contradict your manager, when he corrects you on something your answer should be a stern: “will do”. Never argue and never criticize, even if he asks for criticism on some project in a meeting, keep your mouth shut.

Everything is always great, that’s what you present, the company is great, your weekend was great, your boss is great, you’re happy, you’re going to make more next month, you see a great future at the company, lie, lie, lie.

2) Hit Your Targets

The fastest way to make your boss hate you is to consistently miss your targets. That means he’s going to get shit on about your performance and then he’s going to shit on you. Shit rolls down hill. Hitting your targets is also the fastest way to get your boss to like you, see point number 1. When you hit your targets consistently you can take a shit on the sales floor if you want. A sales manager would hire Hitler if he could hit his targets every month.

The best way to hit your targets is to keep your head down and work hard. For the first few months don’t socialize too much at work and outwork every guy on the floor. Show them you have a strong middle-class work ethic, this is exactly what they’re looking for. Even if you miss your targets off the bat your work ethic will buy you a lot of breathing room.

3) Make The Guys Like You

If you’re a confident well dressed guy, other salesman will hate you for at least the first month. They will see you as competition and rightfully so, until they get to know and like you.

The guys will test you to see how weak you are, just like on the playground, most of your coworkers will be primitive retards so assert yourself early and often. With that said you should also be super friendly and nice to offset all the confidence you have, it’s really hard not to like a cool guy who is nice.

Sales culture is white, middle class and masculine. Guys who work in sales are culturally white, middle class and ex jocks. Many guys come from smaller cities or towns and move to the big city to find work in sales. So to get these guys to like you, present yourself as a culturally white, middle class, ex-jock. Even if you’re not white, show them you’re still part of their culture.

Pretend you like sports, the more you know the better. If you’re a follower of this blog you know I don’t waste time worshipping 20 year old employees who can put things in nets but the guys you’ll work with do. These guys talk sports non-stop and it’s important to pretend you know what’s going on, also your guy clients will usually want to talk sports. I used to watch highlights to get an idea what’s up. Middle class guys won’t trust you unless they think you like sports.

If it sounds like I’m telling you to live a lie, you’re right, from the suit on down, 50 hours a week you’re living a lie, in exchange you get resources.

4) Lie About Your Finances

If you don’t have money in the bank, it’s important to hide that from your boss and colleagues. If your boss knows you need money he can leverage that by leaning on you harder because he knows you can’t afford to quit.

If you’re fresh out of school, make it seem like you come from money and if you’ve had jobs before let people know you’ve saved a lot. Never ever talk about money problems or wish out loud for payday. Guys do this all the time and it makes them easy targets. If they find out you’re poor, that means they own you.

5) Don’t Buy Dreams

Your manager is your enemy, don’t believe a thing he tells you. He didn’t get to that spot by telling the truth, he got there by selling dreams and shanking salesmen in the back. He will sell you on all kinds of dreams for your future at the company, don’t believe a word, those talks are just designed to keep you running fast on the treadmill.

The new client incentives, the team meetings, the cash bonuses are there to squeeze more juice out of you. You’re only there out of necessity. You’re a human slave. If you could be replaced by a machine or a phone monkey in the Philippines you would be without a second’s hesitation. The dream is not yours because you have no equity, it’s the company owner’s dream.

6) Save Your Money

Save your money so you don’t have to live like a slave for the rest of your life. Unfortunately most salesmen blow their money on expensive toys and live paycheck to paycheck. Build a safety net for yourself that you can invest in your business and pay for your runway.

7) Learn How To Sell And Service Clients

Selling is the most marketable and important skill I have. From picking up women to writing a sales page there is no aspect of my life that my sales training hasn’t helped me with. Despite how much I hated being in sales it has been a massive advantage to me in my business and personal life. If you’re going to be stuck doing what you hate you might as well soak up as much knowledge as you can.

8) Use Phenibut

Taking Phenibut twice a week will make selling a lot easier and for a few minutes a day even enjoyable. Add a caffeine pill in the morning and you’ll be flying. Phenibut releases GABA which relaxes you and raises your mood making it easier to sell.

My sales figures would double on Phenibut. When you watch Wolf Of Wall Street you’ll see these guys taking Qualuudes to sell better. Qualuudes like Phenibut and alcohol are GABA agonists. But instead of coke and qualuudes use caffeine and phenibut and preserve your health.

9) Get Off The Phone

Get out of phone sales as quick as you can. You’ll always be capped earnings wise, always be monitored heavily and always have to be in the office. Get into outside sales early. You make more money, you get a car and you get to work from home. I knew a guy who made six figures a year and only booked two days of meetings a week. The rest of the week he spent smoking weed and playing Xbox.

10) Plan Your Exit

Let me paint the picture, you’re a 45 year old guy bouncing from job to job every 3 years and your coworkers and manager are 10 to 15 years younger than you. Every three years you start from scratch building a new book then get fired when you burn out. You also have a mortgage, a car and a family to pay for. Eventually you develop problems with alcohol, food, cigarettes or all three.

I worked with a guy in his sixties who ended up having a stroke from all the stress. He was an overweight alcoholic who talked constantly about the glory days of his youth. All his money went to his greedy wife and kids. When he recovered after a year in and out of the hospital he was brought back on board only to be demoted to cold caller. A position that usually goes to guys in their early twenties.

He couldn’t leave because he didn’t have any savings and eventually he was fired by a manager half his age because he wasn’t even competent to be a cold caller any more. Don’t let this happen to you.

If you want to see the reality of a guy getting old in sales, watch this scene of Jack Lemmon’s brilliant performance in Glengarry Glen Ross. The sadness and desperation is palpable.

Guys rarely last at companies for more than 5 years unless they move up into management. Every salesman wants to get off the floor but only a few move up. Even then you’re still a slave, you just graduated from the field to the house. Every salesman talks about starting his own business but most never do. Most guys get a family, a car and a mortgage and become slaves for life.

Outside of myself and my business partner no one I worked with started their own business. They all got hooked on the paycheck, on the toys. Don’t sell your life away for a big screen TV. Don’t still be in sales by your 30’s. Plan your exit, know how much you need, get your business running and set a hard timeline for getting out.

11) Get Fired

Once you’ve got your exit planned out, you’ve got your cash and you’ve got your exit date, get yourself fired. Quitting is dumb when you can get fired. Not only do you get packaged out but you get months of employment insurance to help finance your business. Not that the government needs to know.

Getting fired in sales is easy. Just start missing your targets leading up to your exit date. An easy way to do that is to work on your side business at your job. I spent at least two hours a day on RLD at my last job.

With that said if you work for a good guy who has treated you well then you have to do the right thing and quit with two weeks notice. But chances are that’s not going to be the case.

Your employer and your government are your slavemasters, you should feel no shame about taking whatever you can from them. Get your freedom by any means necessary even if you have to kick, claw and scratch your way out. Get skills, get money and get out.

Stay tuned for part 3 on how to sell.

The post The Definitive Guide To Sales Part 2: Life As A Salesman appeared first on Revolutionary Lifestyle Design.

Sell only as much as you need to, when the guy wants to buy you let him buy. The more you carry on the more likely he is to question the deal. When he signs on that line, you shut the fuck up.

Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway

You’ll never be fully comfortable selling to some random guy, you’re always the pest, always coming from a position of weakness but you just do it anyway. There is no trick and no way to always feel good, just man up and get in there. To control the fear pretend you’re an actor and just watch yourself talk. Also don’t overprepare especially if you’re meeting a big client, just let your hands go, trust your instincts and let the words come out of your mouth.

Don’t Sell Through Email Or Voicemail

Real sales is over the phone or in person. An email is too easy to ignore, a lot of millennial kids coming up are trying to close by email but that’s no good. You can use email to set up a call or a meeting but never try and close over email, nut up and get him on the phone.

That includes voicemails, a guy who pitches voicemails is not a salesman. There might be exceptions in some industries or for mass emails on small products but in general any time you’re talking about a high value deal it’s gotta be phone or in person.

Calibrate

Sales is seduction and seduction is a female skill. That means to excel you need to have sensitivity. You have to be sensitive to every beat, every pause in the conversation, to know what the guy is trying to communicate at all times.

Shame And Fear Are Your Two Biggest Obstacles

Selling someone past their comfort point is unnatural unless you’re a sociopath. What holds most guys back in closing a deal is discomfort. That discomfort comes in two forms. Shame, the feeling of doing the wrong thing and fear of provoking a negative emotion in your potential client.

Sales pays well because it’s uncomfortable and no one wants to do it. If you have less shame and less fear then the next man you’ll be a better salesman. Sociopaths are so good at sales because they feel no guilt and have no fear, a human being is just a tool to be manipulated to get what they want.

Your Mood Is Crucial

You can’t sell in a bad mood, it seeps into your conversation no matter how hard you try to control it. Your mood needs to be protected like a fort, it’s your greatest asset. You can’t sell when you’re unhappy. That means you need to get proper sleep, exercise, diet and use the right supplements like caffeine and phenibut.

You Don’t Matter

Your potential clients don’t give a fuck about you, they only care about the value that you can bring to the table. That means don’t bother talking about yourself, focus on them and add value to the conversation by making them feel good about themselves. Oh your kid won his hockey game, that’s terrific, etc.

Be Ethical

This is easier said then done when you have your sales manager breathing down your neck to hit targets but at the end of the day you have to look yourself in the mirror. Jamming someone into the wrong product is shitty and unethical, you won’t feel good about yourself. Don’t be a scumbag, you can’t enjoy life as a scumbag, no matter how much money you have.

How To Sell A Client

Prospect

Prospecting is what you do to find your leads, this means scouring the internet in your vertical and adding key information about your leads to the CRM. This generally means company name, decision makers, key info etc. A good company will have leads provided or will have cold callers for you.

The majority of your results in sales are going to be from the output you put in. That means finding the right candidates for your products and as many  candidates as possible. You need to know down to the letter which types of companies will be in the market for your product otherwise you end up wasting a lot of time. You also need to focus on companies that are higher probability closes. There is nothing wrong with trying to get blue chip companies to buy but it might take you months just to get a hold of the right person. So make sure you put a lot of focus on those consistent companies to hold you down until that big deal comes through.

How To Sell Your Website

When it comes to your blog, the most important thing to realize is that guys are buying into you first and foremost. Your personality, your lifestyle and your ability to solve their problems. With that said they don’t actually care about you, they only care about the value you bring to their life. That means they don’t want to hear about your problems or philosophical speculations, they want practical solutions to their problems.

Every article on this site solves a problem including this one. Every article on this site is a sales page for me, my lifestyle and my ability to solve your problems. I sell you into buying into me as an authority and I sell you on solving a specific problem with each post. This is why I never release any article that’s half assed, because all it takes is for a guy to come to the site, see a shit article and never come back. As opposed to a guy who comes to the site, has his problem solved and maybe solves 5 or 6 other problems while cruising around. That’s a guy that might even be impressed enough to buy my book.

One thing that’s extremely important in building a valuable website is putting reader experience first. For 2.5 years I didn’t have a product to sell, I was just building up an audience. When I released my book I didn’t even write a post on it because I didn’t feel it was post worthy.

When I’m selling I embed links sporadically or use a non-intrusive sidebar image. I’m very cautious of making sure my readers are treated well. Reader experience is my first, second and third priority on this site. Aggressive call to action buttons, pop ups and all that bullshit is like taking a piss on your readers face. It shows you care more about money than your reader when it should be the opposite way. When you care about readers the money takes care of itself. By caring for my readers I built a site that averages 170,000 visitors a month and gives me enough passive income to pay for my life in Thailand.

How To Write A Sales Page

There are a lot of tutorials out there on writing a sales page but most of them are garbage. In Part 2 of this series Mario from Red Pill Game asked me how I would write a sales page. The techniques are used are the exact techniques I used to recruit new clients in business but done ethically and with respect to my reader’s intelligence level.

Dear friend letters, giant fonts, aggressive call to action buttons means you don’t respect your readers. Retards will buy but sharp guys will tune you out. The way to write a sales page is to clearly outline the problem you solve, the features and benefits, determine the fit of the potential buyer and handle questions in advance. The sales page works exactly the same as a sales call, selling women or any type of sales for that matter. You don’t have to use the exact sequence but you should include all the sections. Here is the exact breakdown of my sales page:

Pitch

Identify Their Pain Point

 

Offer Solution

Benefits

Features 

 

Handling Objections

 

Close

Whether you’re a salesman or a business owner the way you service your clients is what will make or break you. In sales I was always amazed at how many guys would kill themselves to bring on new clients only to give them mediocre service.

It takes ten times more work to get a client then to keep one so it only makes sense to give great service. Since starting RLD I’ve been shocked at the atrocious customer service of most guys who have online businesses. I’m not trying to call anyone out because I realize most guys haven’t been through a decade of sales training so what might be obvious to me isn’t obvious to them. I just want to make sure you guys have all the tools to succeed.

In business, your client is your boss, you serve them, not the other way around. Customer service is just that, servicing clients, putting their needs above yours, in exchange you get what you want. Pride has no place in being effective.

Being succesful in business is not about being an aloof alpha male it’s about adding value and serving your customers better than everyone else.The good news is, as a business owner, you always have the option to fire your clients. When you’re an employee you can’t fire your boss or your clients. Another reason to start your own thing boys.

To understand the level of service expected of you, you first need to understand the difference between a customer and a client. A product-based business revolves around a customer who makes small, low investment purchases of your products with less of focus on a personal relationship.

Servicing your customers properly is important but the level of service is not the same as with a client-based business. A good example of a customer-based business is a blog. I sell my book at a low price point and rarely have interactions with my customers unless they have questions on the material.

In a service-based business, the client relationship is the focal part of the business. The client makes a larger, higher priced investment in you and the service you provide. In a service-based business you get paid to service your clients and your level of service is extremely important in customer retentions.

Being a freelance writer, graphic designer or programmer are examples of service-based businesses. For those of you guys with your own businesses or who are looking to start your own businesses your level of service is extremely crucial. Your service is the cornerstone of your business. The focus of this article is on service-based businesses. Here are the 8 key rules for servicing your clients:

1) Never Break Rapport

As we covered in part 3, breaking rapport is the biggest sin in sales. A client can tell me the sky is black and my response is:

” John, I understand what you’re saying and that’s definitely valid, with that said I think you’re a great fit for this product. “

The secret to success, the real secret, is that there is no secret. No book, no pill and no seminar is going to make you successful. No amount of wishful thinking or positive intent will get you what you want. Everything you want is a scarce resource that you have to compete for until the day that you die.

Resources are limited and wants are unlimited. The nature of the system means you’re not supposed to get what you want.

You’re supposed to have a shitty job, a shitty sex life and a shitty body. You’re supposed to be unhappy about it. you’re supposed to live for the weekend. You’re supposed to accept it. You’re supposed to be too stupefied by poverty, work and distractions to be able to change.

For one person to win, many people have to lose. For every Brad Pitt there are a million broken dreams. Winning is unnatural. You’re not supposed to win. Losing is natural. You’re supposed to lose.

You’re supposed to live a life of quiet desperation. Predators understand this. They build their success off the backs of losers. Predators sell losers fantasy solutions, fantasy dreams, fantasy secrets.

In reality they don’t give a fuck about you, only your money. No one cares if you succeed. Most people are too busy getting beat down by their own problems to even think about you. Maybe only a handful of people care about you and that’s if you’re lucky.

Everything you want you have to do yourself. Don’t expect a mentor. Don’t expect people to help you. Don’t expect people to understand. Instead expect people to disappoint you. Expect business partners to betray you. Expect people to sell you bullshit dreams.

That’s the bad news.

The good news is that just by taking action you’re ahead of most guys. Most guys don’t even try. Most guys are lazy, fearful and undisciplined. Just by trying you’ve beaten most of your competition.

The good news is that by moving forward when things get hard you’ve beaten the rest. Most guys that try quit when things get hard. Whenever things get hard for me I remind myself that this is where other guys quit. That gives me the fuel to keep going.

To get what you want you have to take action. You need to work harder than the other guy. You need to work smarter. You need to sacrifice more. You need to endure more. There’s no other way. There’s no secret.

To get what you want you have to be willing to do what other men won’t. You have to work when your friends are going out. You have to save money when other people are spending. You have to focus when other people are relaxing.  You have to keep going when others are quitting. That’s what separates the winners from the losers.

I worked like a dog while my friends were partying, now I have a business that pays for my lifestyle while I sleep. I saved my money while other people were spending it, now I have a bankroll of cash. I learned game and now I have more women then I can handle.  My life was hard, now I live in paradise and my life is easy and bright.

I succeeded for no other reason then because I willed it. I kept going when I was scared, tired, uncertain and depressed. If you’re scared, tired, uncertain and depressed, then I’m talking to you through these words. It can and will get better, I promise you. You just have to keep going.

I’m living my dream because I took action, because I worked hard, because I worked smart and above all because I always believed in myself. Do the same gentlemen and take what’s yours.

Creatine is a natuarlly occuring organic acid that helps to supply energy to all cells in the body, primarily muscle. Creatine does this by increasing the amount of adenosine triphosphate or ATP in the body. Your body uses ATP as fuel during short-duration exercises involving muscular contraction like weight lifting or sprinting.  Supplementing with Creatine works by increasing the amount of fuel you have for high intensity exercise for about 10 seconds. Just long enough to get off a bench press set to fatigue.

Creatine is the most studied bodybuilding supplements, one of the safest, is legal and most importantly it actually works. Creatine is in fact the only OTC supplement that works when it comes to building muscle. Everything else is worthless. Also don’t fuck around with other types of Creatine, they’re junk to, micronized Creatine using Creapure technology is what you want.

I’ve cycled Creatine three times in the past before I was reached my natural genetic potential. The first cycle for 3 months, the second for 2 months and the third I had to cut short after two weeks. The first cycle I gained about 7 pounds, the second cycle I gained the same but had to stop after 2 months from kidney pain. The third cycle I stopped after 2 weeks from kidney pain. I have sensitive kidneys and you probably won’t have to worry about it but you should know that there can be some side effects before you start.  With that said if you do feel kidney pain, just cut the cycle short, I had no lasting damage from taking Creatine.

The way to cycle Creatine is to take 5 mg daily in a carb-based drink for better absorption. Some guys will advocate overloading Creatine off the start to build up reserves but this is unnecessary, you’ll be fine with 5 mg a day. The Creatine will kick in fully in about 7 days, you’ll know when you start to carry about 7 lbs. of water weight. This is the major downside of being on Creatine, it gives you that bloated look so I would suggest doing a Creatine cycle on a bulk during the winter months. This is not a pool party supplement. Carrying all that excess water weight makes your kidneys work harder as well. So even if you feel great three months in I would still cycle off and give your kidneys a break. Here’s everything else you need to know about Creatine:

 LEARN HOW TO FUCK WOMEN PROPERLY HERE

Today I’m proud to officially announce the release of my latest book: How To Fuck Women Properly.

For those of you loyal RLD readers you know I don’t like hard sell on here. I spent the better part of a decade as a salesman being forced to sell shit I didn’t fully believe in.

Today however, I’m going shamelessly hard because I’m extremely proud of this book and it’s something I know will change your life in a massive way.

This book is the one you guys have been asking for. In response to your comments and emails I’ve put together everything I know about sex into a 100 page training manual.

My goal in writing this book was to put together the best book on sex ever written and in my not so humble opinion, I’ve succeeded.

The book covers absolutely every area of sex in exhaustive, hyper-applicable detail based purely on my real world experience.

Here’s Exactly What You Get

• 36,000 words of straight dope, no filler
• A full chapter dedicated to learning how to project the sexual image women crave
• A reality shattering description of female psychology and women’s sexual fantasies
• The eight crucial mentalities of a sexual master
• A hyper-detailed reference manual on mastering the key sexual positions
• An exhaustive analysis on how to make her orgasm
• A rundown of the cutting edge drugs to use to make you a sexual beast
• A complete description of her four major erogenous zones
• An entire chapter on rough sex, BDSM and training submissives
• A step by step guide on how to have anal, public and group sex
• A comprehensive section devoted to spiritual sex including tantra and karezza
• An entire chapter devoted to dealing with premature ejaculation, impotence and losing your virginity.

Why I Wrote This Book

As an 18 year old kid searching for answers at the dawn of the internet era there was nothing like this available.

Even with the rise of the internet the average sex book is written by some clueless feminist, an internet marketer or a married journalist.

I wanted to write this book as someone who has actually achieved sexual mastery and can speak about it on a granular level.

I wrote this book because this is the book I always wanted. I wrote this book to give you guys the answers I didn’t have.

My sex life now is insane, but it wasn’t always like this. I want to tell you something that I haven’t told anyone until now. I was not a natural in bed, at least not at first.

I didn’t lose my virginity until I was 20. It took me 15 minutes of jerking off to get it up before I prematurely ejaculated. This is as bad a start as you can possibly have.

Since Then A Lot Has Changed

Since then I’ve fucked my way well into triple digits and make women cry, scream, squirt and pass out in my bed on a regular basis. Since then I became the guy I wanted to be.

I learned how to do this through obsessive research, through trial and error and through applying my iron will. I’ve made the journey to sexual mastery and I promise you that you can do everything single thing that I can.

Now losing my virginity is just a distant, funny memory. Sexual anxiety, impotence and premature ejaculation are a thing of the past.

I can’t imagine ever being nervous in the bedroom again. If anyone is going to be nervous it’s going to be her. Sex for me now is as natural as riding a bicycle. In fact, all I feel before sex is excitement.

Sexual Mastery Changes You As A Man

When you become a sexual beast you become a different man. The way you walk, the way you talk, everything changes.

You develop a quiet, secret confidence that men and women can feel. My sexual confidence is unbreakable. I can’t describe the power and calm that comes with internalizing this mentality.

No matter where you stack up in life no one can take being a stud away from you. And when we’re being honest that’s what all the toys are for anyways isn’t it?

Guys get the job, they buy the clothes, the car, the house – all to impress some woman. These guys think: “As long as I buy her all this stuff she’ll be happy and I’ll be the man. Right?” Wrong. Dead Wrong.

While he’s out working 12 hours a day to pay for her lifestyle, she’s fantasizing about fucking guys like me. Why? Because we can put it down in the bedroom. Because we’re the masculine, dominant, sexual demon she craves in her soul.

Sexual Mastery Changes How Women Respond To You

Women are no different than men. They are no less sexual. Everything out of her mouth to the contrary is a damn lie.

Once you destroy a girl in the bedroom the power in the relationship is now yours. Sure she might play games with you at first. But once you show her that you can lay the pipe the tables turn.

Then she becomes the one who’s desperate to meet up. As we speak I’ve got three girls texting me to meet up who I haven’t even bothered to fuck in a month.

Women are able to feel that sexual confidence oozing out of you on a primal level. They can sense it. They know you’re not like other guys.

They know this because you can look them in the eye without flinching. They know this because they can sense the power inside of your being.

You think I spend a dollar on them? Not a chance. The reason they’re obsessed with me is that I give them what most guys can’t – sexual fulfillment. They are literally addicted to my cock.

I’m not telling you this to brag. OK I’m bragging a little bit but I’m also I’m telling this to you because it’s the truth.

I have an amazing sex life and I want you to be able to have one too. Nothing makes me happier then helping other guys get what they want. 

Sexual Mastery Will Change Your Life

You might be a virgin, a playboy or a married man but whoever you are this book has the power to change your life.

I know this is a big claim for a book on fucking women but having this area of your life handled will change you in a massive way.

I know this because I’ve been where you are now. I remember the feeling in my bones and I remember how good it felt when I finally got this stuff handled.

I can get you there because I know sexual mastery on a granular level and can show you the exact microsteps you need to follow.

LEARN HOW TO FUCK WOMEN PROPERLY AND YOU WILL

• Feel like a stud 24/7
• Get women addicted to your cock
• Get unbreakable sexual confidence
• Easily keep women in multiple relationships
• Put the fire back in your relationship
• Destroy sexual anxiety permanently
• Have this area of your life handled for good

You wanted the definitive guide to sex and you got it. Now is the time to get this shit handled.

The post How To Fuck Women Properly – The Bedroom Bible Is Now Available appeared first on Revolutionary Lifestyle Design.

In Chapter 4 of my latest book: How To Fuck Women Properly, I go into depth (pun intended) on the best ways to train for becoming a beast in the bedroom. One of my secrets is the Fleshlight. For those of you guys who haven’t bought the book I wanted to put this post together to make sure you knew exactly how to use this tool.

You might have heard of the Fleshlight before as a masturbation aid but the Fleshlight is actually amazing for increasing your sexual stamina. With that said you don’t the Stamina Training model they sell, the basic Fleshlight works fine.

If you’re serious about mastering your stroke right I would suggest doing a Fleshlight session every day. The routine I recommend is to put on some porn and aim to thrust consistently for at least 20 minutes. The porn is important, especially if you’re a young guy, because it will help you desensitize your dick and be able to last once you get the real thing. I used this exact training routine about a decade ago to massively increase my stamina.

The positions I recommend are missionary, kneeling doggystyle and cowgirl. The key is to keep a steady stroke going for as long as you can without slowing down. Don’t worry about jackhammering, you’re going for consistency and desensitization. Jackhammering is primarily a question of speed which you’ll get from HIT cardio training.

From experimenting with angles to enhancing your stamina the Fleshlight is the next best thing to an actual pussy. Fleshlight training will also increase your endurance in the key sex muscles: your hip flexors, glutes and quads. 

In addition to the Fleshlight, I recommend high intensity cardio 2 to 3 times per week, edging and daily kegels to give you serous stamina and erection strength.

You can use any lube you want just make sure to have a towel nearby because this thing makes a fucking mass. If you’re training in missionary then you might want to have the towel underneath you so you don’t get lube all over the bed. Also make sure to take the cap off otherwise fucking the Fleshlight will make some pretty awkward noises.

For those of you guys who live with someone, don’t worry, the Fleshlight ships anonymously so you won’t have to worry about your roommate finding your fucktoy.

The good thing about Fleshlight training is that as long as you’re having sex consistently, the results you get from your Fleshlight training will be permanent. Try it out for a month or two to get your stroke up to par.

Life is a ruthless war for survival and resources.

The weak die, the ordinary survive but only the extraordinary thrive.

We thrive because we become warriors.

The ordinary man is not a warrior.

The ordinary man is broken.

The ordinary man is defeated by the time he shuffles out of bed.

The ordinary man runs from his war and dreams of an escape.

Warriors don’t have dreams, we have missions.

Warriors don’t break.

Warriors wake up every morning ready to fight.

Warriors don’t run from anything.

My life would have crippled the ordinary man.

Instead I became unbreakable.

Instead I fought back.

Instead I became a warrior.

Instead I became extraordinary.

I’ll tell you my secret…and this is the most important thing you’ll read on this blog:

Defiance is the beating heart of the warrior.

Defiance is the soul of the soldier.

To become extraordinary you have to defy everything.

Defy every single thing that’s holding you back.

Defy ordinary. Defy laziness. Defy weakness.

Defy depression. Defy doubt. Defy failure.

Defy friends. Defy family. Defy society.

Defy nature. Defy fear. Defy death.

Defy everything that gets in the way of your greatness. 

Your dad beat you? Fuck him.

The kids teased you? Fuck them.

Your girlfriend dumped you? Fuck her.

Your life is too hard? Fuck that. 

Fight back. Get angry goddamn it. Define your life by your defiance.

Define your life by your refusal to lay down. Define your life by being a warrior.

Why? Because you don’t have a choice. You either play or get played. You other defy or you lay down and die.

Life doesn’t let you sit on the sidelines. There’s no pause button in the game of life.

To win you need to become defiant. More than a mindset, more than a technique, more than a strategy:

Defiant is what you are

You’re not like other people. Your friends, your family, your government – they want you to accept life the way it is. They want you to fall in line. They want you to be reasonable.

I say fuck being reasonable. All progress is made by the unreasonable man. All progress is made by men who defy their surroundings, who defy their critics. Who defy their world.

So, keep moving forward defiantly until your dying breath. From the womb to the tomb.

Defy, defy, defy until the day you die

The first thing you need to understand is what a prohormone is. A prohormone is just a legal steroid that hasn’t been banned yet, don’t be fooled by the marketing hype. They are precursors to anabolic hormones like testosterone. The prohormone I used for my first cycle was Superdrol which is now banned. The good ones usually have a lifespan of about five years before daddy government steps in. Taking prohormones is as serious a decision as taking steroids.

I’ve had this post on deck for a long time because I wanted to be 100% sure I could write this in an ethical way. The only way I can do that is by telling you guys that I absolutely cannot recommend anyone take performance enhancing drugs – even legal ones. I care about each and every one of you and I don’t want anyone damaging their health because of what I write on this site.

I think the dangers of steroid use are overblown by the media but oral steroids are not healthy – legal or otherwise. By taking PED’s you’re gambling with your health – no ifs, ands or maybes. I’m not going to sell you on steroids being safe, but I am going to give you all the information you need to make an informed, adult decision.

To make an informed decision you should be over 25, have 3-5 years of consistent training under your belt, the supervision of your doctor, the proper bloodwork as well as at least two months of solid research on prohormones and TRT.

TRT or Testosterone Replacement Therapy is the exogenous replacement of your natural testosterone with the synthetic hormone through weekly or daily injections. Testosterone is also usually prescribed with 1/4 tab of Arimidex per day to control estrogen which tends to spike along with your testosterone injections. High estrogen levels lead to lowered sex drive and holding extra water weight, for me that can be as much as 6 lbs.

There is a lot to learn about TRT that is outside the scope of this post but I strongly recommend this primer from my man Mike Cernovich to get you up to speed on TRT. TRT is completely legal and can be prescribed by your doctor or more specifically an anti aging clinic or endocrinologist.

Oral cycles wreak havoc on your hormones, mood and sex drive so it’s important to use testosterone on cycle to keep your body functioning properly. TRT will also help you keep a lot or all of the gains you pick up on cycle. If you’re not ready for TRT then you’re not ready for steroids as far as I’m concerned. Playing with your hormones is no joke.

A lot of guys do oral cycles without test, throw their mood and sex drive in the gutter and then do a month of PCT to try and get their normal test levels back. Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it takes three months, sometimes they don’t recover their natural test baseline at all. Many of those guys end up losing a lot of their gains because they don’t have the hormone levels to support their newly acquired muscle.

This doesn’t make sense to me. Risking your health for gains you can’t keep is pointless to me. Before you consider your first cycle you should be prepared for a lifetime of hormone replacement therapy. This is a big decision. On TRT you can safely max out your levels and keep gains well above what you would be able to hold naturally. I’m currently holding 55 lbs. of lean body mass which would be impossible for me at age 33 without TRT.

My Training History

My quest for the perfect physique is a long one. In high school, at 5’10 I weighed 118 lbs. at 8% bodyfat – tiny. The body I wanted was the body Mark Wahlberg had in the early 2000’s. That was the guy girls in my high school drooled over and that was the guy I wanted to be. Looking back now it’s easy to see that he was on gear but back then I had no idea.

I grew up in the internet dark ages and didn’t know about your drug free genetic potential. I didn’t have an insanely efficient minimalist routine and I didn’t know that every guy I wanted to look like was on steroids.

After close to a decade of being a hardgaining, plateau-sticking, ectomorph I had gained 37 lbs. of lean muscle naturally. I then spent the better part of 3 years trying to push past what I now know is my lean genetic limit of 158 lbs. at 8% bodyfat. With my shirt off I looked like a UFC lightweight fighter. With my shirt on however I just looked like a lean guy. You could tell I kept fit but it wasn’t the look I was going for.

I would bulk to 180 lbs. and add another 7 or so lbs. of LBM but unfortunately it came with 15 lbs. of fat. I looked built with a shirt on but fat with my shirt off. Also every time I cut I lost almost all my lean gains. And to add insult to injury I had to spend half the year fat. I went through that cycle three times before I decided on using PEDs. At that point I was already over 30, maxed out naturally, insanely disciplined, well researched and ready to do what it takes.

Some of you guys might be wondering why I would risk my health when I had a 0.01% body and a harem of girls that would make a sultan jealous. The reason is because I didn’t have the body I wanted. I didn’t have the body I promised myself when I started lifting and I’m not the type of guy to give up on my goals. I’m the type of guy to succeed or die trying so I did what I had to. I got myself on legal, doctor-prescribed TRT and Superdrol. Here are the exact results from my cycle:

MY CYCLE

The post What To Expect From A Prohormone Cycle – Pics, Stats, Gains, Sides, Protocol appeared first on Revolutionary Lifestyle Design.

When I look around at the gym or online I see a lot of guys making preventable mistakes when it comes to their diet and training. Unfortunately there is a lot of bad information out there from so called experts that is either useless, confusing or dangerous. The majority of nutritionists and personal trainers don’t know what they’re talking about and don’t even get me started on the average person. I used to have a 250 lb. coworker lecture me on drinking from my plastic water bottle when she ate Burger King for breakfast and smoked half a pack a day.

Trigger warning: I’m going H.A.M. on this one so prepare to be called out because chances are you probably do one of the things below. With all the garbage information out there I can’t blame you, it took me decades to sift through all the junk and I can tell you I’ve made almost every mistake on this list. So don’t take it personally if you get called out, I just want to make sure you don’t make the same mistakes I did and that you have all the facts for getting healthy and strong. Here are the 20 diet and training mistakes you need to stop making:

1) Overtraining And Not Doing Restorative Exercise

For most guys, training more than 3 days a week while lifting to fatigue on each set will wreak havoc on your body. That means joint problems, stiffness and injuries. Even at a few times a week weightlifting is taxing to your system. I have to do yoga 4 times a week and 30 minutes of stretching every morning just to keep everything loose. Carrying 50 lbs. of extra weight is hard on your body, even though that weight is muscle and not fat the body knows no difference, it still forces your joints and internal organs to work that much harder.

If it wasn’t for vanity I would never touch a weight, my training would be nothing but pushups, squats and yoga. Unfortunately that would mean I would weigh 120 lbs. which is completely unacceptable for a grown ass man. My reason for lifting is 100% based on how having a great body makes me look and feel, being able to walk around at a ripped 170 lbs. makes all the pain and struggle worthwhile. With that said weightlifting does have some positive health benefits like strengthening your bones but lets get real, we’re all in the gym to look good naked. So make sure your workouts are brief, keep training to a few times a week and add stretching and yoga to your routine.

2) Crossfit

Crossfit is an injury factory. Unless you’re a UFC fighter there is no reason to combine weightlifting and explosive movement, this is a recipe for disaster. Lifting weights should be done in slow, controlled movements with complete focus on your body at all times. Doing wind sprints into rapid sets of  bad form deadlifts is just retarded and dangerous. Unless you’re a complete novice lifter you’ll never make the strength gains you could from focused training but you risk injuring yourself and being out of the gym for months.

Don’t even get me started on Tough Mudder or these other competitions Crossfitters advocate. The risk to reward is atrocious, you risk permanent injury to your body for the reward of completing something hard. Instead of playing Ironman on the weekends you could spend that time completing something hard that will benefit every aspect of your life: building a successful business.

3) Not Measuring Results

As the great management guru Peter Drucker says: “What gets measured, gets managed.” To progress in the gym you need to get stronger, to get stronger you need to measure your progress obsessively. Going into the gym with no plan and fucking around on whatever exercise you feel like that day will get you nowhere, just like every other guy in the gym. You need a pre-planned routine and a list of all your personal bests for every exercise.

You should only have one goal when you step in the gym, beating those personal bests. You should also measure the seat position and use the same machines at the same gym every time. Even a small change to your routine will fuck up your measurements. Look at the weight room as a science lab where you want to control every variable to make sure you’re getting as accurate data as possible.

4) Switching Routines Too Often

Switching routines to prevent muscle confusion is the epitome of broscience. Your body responds to one thing and one thing only, the strength of your muscular contraction. The amount of weight you can lift is just a measurement of the strength your muscles can contract. Therefore all you need to do is worry about getting stronger. The exception to this rule is if you have an injury or the exercise hurts you, weighted dips are a terrific strength builder but for a lot of guys it hurts their shoulder.

I’ll admit I’m guilty of this sometimes because I’m always trying to find the best exercise for each muscle group but usually I’m adding something to my routine while still keeping all the other exercises. Try and stick to the same routine built around the key compound movements and save the tinkering for isolation exercises.

5) Running

Consistently running for long periods of time is the best way to destroy your joints. Running is the highest impact form of cardio there is but despite this the running cult is even stronger than the Crossfit cult. If you want to use your knees past 60, give the running a rest, especially if you’re a lifter with already taxed joints and 50 lbs. of muscle hammering the ground with each heel strike. Use the stationary bike or the elliptical instead, you won’t get the same runners high but its no impact cardio, that’s a no brainer substitution. Look at the body of a champion runner, do you really want to look like this guy?

6) Playing Sports

This was a tough one for me to give up because as a kid sports were my life. Sports are fun and as a kid being good at sports is the best way to become popular. But once you hit 25, playing sports consistently means you’re going to get injured. I’m sure you see this all the time with your friends and coworkers, like your 37 year old colleague who is hobbling around on his ankle for 2 months because he rolled over on it playing soccer. Unless you’re a professional athlete getting paid millions of dollars a year to destroy your body, it’s time to hang up your jersey.

7) Focusing On Functional Strength

This is another favorite of the weekend warriors, guys who spend hours swinging a kettlebell around for a small increase in their indoor rock climbing abilities. These are the same guys who talk about how they don’t want to get “too big” because apparently they don’t like easy pussy. In our modern world the only functional strength you need is the ability to lift your hands to a keyboard. Chances are you get enough practice in your 50 hour work week.

I prefer to focus on panty wetting non-functional strength as opposed to the guy who spends his week fucking around with a medicine ball for that slight edge in his coed dodgeball game. Functional strength is only relevant to a very select group of men: they’re called professional athletes. The guys that they get paid millions of dollars a year to destroy their bodies by applying that functional strength.

8) Olympic Lifts

These are the most dangerous lifts you can do and completely unnecessary for building a fit body. Olympic lifts should be left to actual Olympians, guys willing to sacrifice their health for a taste of glory as opposed to a Crossfit participation trophy. Before you think about doing an olympic lift, have another look at the picture at the top of the page.

9) Doing Barbell Exercises Without A Spotter

To get stronger you need to push to fatigue on every set, that means pushing the weight to where you can’t lift any more. If you do this on a set of bench presses without a spotter that bar is going to come down and crush your chest. Most guys are able to get away with this because they’re half-assing their training and finish every set without giving 100%. There are tons of great substitutions for these exercises like using dumbbells or machines. I’ve personally grown more from using the Hammer Strength V Squat machine than I ever did from free weight squats.

10) Hiring A Personal Trainer From The Gym

For the price of a mortgage payment your local gym will provide you with a 90 lb., 22 year old asian girl who is supposed to show you how to tack on 50 lbs. of lean muscle. She’ll do it by setting you up with known strength building exercises like jumping jacks and Bosu Ball crunches. I always feel so bad for the guy who came to the gym for the first time in his life as I watch his trainer parading him around the gym doing retarded functional strength exercises that get in everyone’s way.

The qualifications for a personal trainer at a gym are non-existent, many of the guys I see training clients are out of shape. The fact that they let out of shape people who complete a weekend certification course train others should be criminal. A good trainer will have his own business but even a good trainer isn’t necessary. Just follow my routine, study Youtube videos for the right form and practice for a few weeks with light weights until you can execute flawlessly.

11) Thinking That Eating Food Will Make You Lose Weight

Despite the miracle weight loss foods you read about online, you don’t lose weight from eating food, you lose weight from not eating food. The only way to lose weight is to maintain a daily caloric deficit. For all intents and purposes a calorie is a calorie, to lose weight you need to eat less whether it’s the ice cream diet or the atkins diet.

I eat plenty of carbs and happily maintain sub 10% body fat because I keep a close eye on how many calories I eat. To maintain my weight at 170 lbs. I need 2000 calories a day, that’s only two solid meals.

The reason people lose more weight on high protein, low carb diets is because protein is the most filling nutrient. It’s easy to eat 1500 calories of ice cream in a sitting but try eating 5 steaks at a time. The other thing to be aware of is that a high protein, low carb diet will cause you to lose water weight making it look like you’re getting slimmer but in reality you’re just manipulating your body. I’m not saying this is a bad thing, just be aware of the true cause behind the effect.

12) Eating Too Much Protein

The amount of protein you need to build muscle, just like the amount of calories you need, is way less than you think. I know every forum in the world says you need a gram of protein per lb. of bodyweight but that’s actually not true. With the exception of maybe elite level bodybuilders carrying 90 lbs. or more of lean muscle, you only need at most, 120 grams of protein per day.

I’m speaking from experience here, having built and maintained 50 lbs. of lean muscle on under 120 grams per day. I’ve also choked down over 200 grams of protein per day in the past with no noticeable effect on muscle growth but a noticeable effect on my kidneys, gut and wallet. The protein myth was started by supplement companies to get you to buy their shitty protein powders. If you don’t believe me check out these four studies or this book by Brad Pilon on how much protein you really need:

• Walberg et al. in 1988 found that .73 grams/pound was sufficient for nitrogen balance
• Tarnopolsky et al. in 1988 found 0.55g/Lb sufficient for bodybuilders
• Lemon et al. in 1992 found recommended 0.75g/Lb
• Tarnopolsky et al. in 1992 found that 0.64g/Lb and 1.10g/Lb were not significantly different

13) Eating Six Times A Day

I’ve tried eating 3 times a day, 6 times a day and even once a day and I can tell you with complete certainty that meal frequency has no effect on gaining or maintaining muscle. I’ve settled on 2 meals a day because that’s what gives me the most energy but as long as you get enough calories in you can eat whenever you want.

The only guys who need to eat 6 times a day are professional bodybuilders who walk around off season at 300 lbs., this is because they literally can’t consume all the food they need to eat in 3 meals a day. Also, when you try to eat 6 meals a day you will never feel full. You’ll spend your day in a state of constant low level hunger. Don’t live your life out of a Tupperware container, enjoy it and eat whenever you want.

14) Treating The Paleo Diet As Gospel

In the manosphere we love our paleo diet and with good reason, you’re eating natural foods that we’re evolved for like meat, fruits and vegetables. But just because it’s paleo doesn’t mean it’s good for you and just because it’s not paleo doesn’t mean you shouldn’t eat it.

Coconut milk, a paleo staple destroyed my gut and woke me up with the most insane case of heartburn I’ve ever had. The paleo diet also advocates eating lots of saturated fat. It’s true that saturated fat is fine in moderation but tons of saturated fat is not good for you, ask any cardiologist. This is what actual scientists believe, not internet bloggers.

Don’t get me wrong, eating from an evolutionary standpoint is great but just because cavemen didn’t eat it doesn’t mean its bad for you. A delicious serving of perfectly spiced pad thai on white rice is not going to kill you, the Okinawans eat tons of white rice and they outlive all of us.

The paleo diet is also boring as fuck which means it’s hard to sustain long term. Life is short and tomorrow isn’t guaranteed, there is no way I’m eating nothing but meat and vegetables for the rest of my life. The paleo diet is good as a base but if you want a sustainable diet you can’t be that restrictive.

White rice, bread and pasta aren’t going to kill you unless you’re allergic to them, neither is having a cheat meal a few times a week. Don’t be that guy who goes out to the bar with his friends and can’t eat or drink anything on the menu.

15) Eating Things You’re Allergic To

Most of you guys probably eat things you’re allergic to. If your stomach rumbles after a meal or you get gas or heartburn chances are you’re allergic to that food. I didn’t realize I was allergic to dairy until my late 20’s, once I cut it out my permanently congested nose went away and I stopped getting colds all the time.

The main source of food allergies are from FODMAPs. FODMAP is an acronym for foods that are poorly absorbed by the small intestine. Common FODMAPs are wheat, garlic, onions, some fruits, dairy and as above, coconut milk. For me, wheat and fruits are no problem but garlic, onions, dairy and coconut milk are.

The best way to test out allergies is by eating FODMAPs individually and monitoring your body. If you get any symptoms, cut the food out or eat it in moderation. This is crucial for building a fit body because you need to get all the nutrients you can from your food, this isn’t possible when your food is not absorbed properly.

16) High Volume Training

Unless you’re a masochist high volume training is not the way to go. A set of 40 squats to fatigue is absolute brutality, compare this to a set of 8 plus kratom and you’ll never go back. There is no reason to do 40 reps when you can get the same benefit from 8. The only exception is with slow twitch muscles like the calves, they usually need to be worked at 30 sets or more.

Some people will even argue that you’re fine with one rep training and I would agree. If I had access to resistance machines that could measure PSI I would do one rep training with a focus on micro-increases in the amount of pressure I can lift every week.

Unfortunately 1 rep training is not a good method with weights because weights are an imprecise measuring system. You could be stuck between 0 and 1 rep for weeks at a time, not knowing if you’re getting stronger or not. So stick to the tried and tested 8 to 12 rep range and you’ll be good.

17) Reading Bodybuilding.com

Bodybuilding.com is the home of broscience and guys who will call you small because you’re only carrying 60 lbs. of lean muscle. Recognize that for sites to get traffic they need to produce a ton of content, when it comes to weightlifting, 90% of what you need to know can be explained in no more than 10 posts.

That means sites like bodybuilding.com need to pump out lots of confusing garbage on a daily basis. There is some good information on the forums, especially if you’re looking for human reviews of a product, but take everything with a grain of salt.

18) Eating Big

On sites like the above, eating bigger is the answer to almost every rookie question. Unfortunately eating big past your first 5 months of consistent training will just make you fat, I speak from experience. What they don’t tell you is that you need to eat big and take steroids to get really big. Your natural genetic potential is only 35 to 50 lbs. at the most depending on your body.

You can eat big all you want but you will never have a bodybuilder’s physique without drugs. A pound of muscle is only 3500 calories, past your first year of training you’ll be lucky to put on a pound a month, that’s a daily caloric surplus of only 116 calories. This is why most guys spend most of the year getting fat and building a small amount of muscle and then spend the rest of the year getting lean and losing most of the muscle they built. I went through that cycle at least 3 times until I smartened up.

The best way to build muscle without getting fat is to eat for the amount of muscle you expect to gain. For example a second year trainee can realistically expect to gain a pound of muscle a month which is about 3500 calories. Let’s say he works out 12 times a month, that means on training days he should aim to eat a caloric surplus of 292 calories to hit his goal.

You’ll know that you’ve gone too far when you get a small roll around your stomach. Also, recognize that gains past your second and third year of training will be extremely slow so eat accordingly. Once you’ve hit at least 35 lbs. of lean muscle and you’re not breaking personal bests after months on end, you’re probably tapped out of the amount of muscle you can put on naturally.

19) Starting Strength/Strong Lifts

Before I go in on Coach Rippetoe I want to say that by all accounts he seems like a good guy who sincerely wants to help his students. I also know that many of you guys followed or have followed his method and a lot of what he says is useful. With that said, for a guy with the most popular bodybuilding program online, this is what he looks like:

And this is what I, the internet blogger who wrote How To Give A Girl A Rimjob Orgasm, look like:

There is no way I should look better than him. It’s true that Mark is a bit older than I am and he was a big dude back in his powerlifting heyday (thanks to a ton of gear) but as far as I’m concerned, if you’re giving professional advice on bodybuilding you damn well better look like Victor Pride.

The core of the Starting Strength program is doing 3 sets of 5 reps on every exercise. Doing 3 sets of any exercise is not only unnecessary but is counterproductive, especially for natural trainees. On the beginner’s routine you will be squatting nine times a week and deadlifting twice, that is insane.

As we covered already, getting stronger is all that matters, that means the first set is all that counts. Unless you’re giving less than 100% on your first set, you’ll never be able to break a personal best on your second set. Arthur Jones figured out back in the 70’s that one set is all you need but unfortunately most people don’t listen to him.

20) Trying To Cut Weight And Eat Healthy At The Same Time 

If you’re trying to cut weight and already eat healthy this is no problem, but chances are if you’re overweight you’re not a healthy guy. Cutting weight for an extended period of time is hard enough but adding a restrictive diet of foods you hate is torture. It’s also not sustainable and is a big reason people are not able to follow through on their diet.

If you’re trying to lose 40 lbs. on a caloric deficit at a pound a week that’s 10 months straight of cutting weight, not an easy thing to do. Instead of trying to eat healthy at the same time, just add some healthy fruits and vegetables into the mix but still give yourself a treat to look forward to at the end of the day and a cheat meal or two per week. Otherwise it’s only a matter of time before you crack and binge out at Mcdonald’s. Some good, moderately healthy, high protein options to look forward to are smoked meat sandwiches, cheeseburgers made with high grade meat and chicken shwarmas.

The post 20 Diet And Training Mistakes You Need To Stop Making appeared first on Revolutionary Lifestyle Design.

The nature of our world is one of unlimited wants and limited resources.

Every man wants beautiful women, money, freedom, security and the latest technology.

Every man wants to enjoy a happy, comfortable life with plenty of leisure time.

Every man deserves these things – but that’s not how it works.

Nature doesn’t care what you deserve.

Nature is amoral and unfair.

Nature gives the finer things to the strong, ruthless, intelligent men who are determined to win.

To the victor goes the spoils

Victory, by it’s very definition, is a net sum game. For you to win many people have to lose.

Whatever it is you want: the girl, the client, the house  – you have to take it from someone else.

If this bothers your conscience then victory is not for you – this is the world we’re born into.

Victims can’t accept the nature of the world.

They rail about social justice and privilege and oppression as if they can change human behavior.

They preach equality as if nature made anyone or anything equal.

They think they can change the world because they refuse to study the history of the world.

History Is Written By The Victor

In better days being a victor was something to be admired.

Men were taught to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

Self-made men were lionized. Hard work, persistence and self-reliance defined the noble man.

These noble men came together and built a victor nation the likes of which the world had never seen.

Within just a few generations America became the most prosperous nation in history.

For over 100 years men lived better and with more freedom than ever before.

Times Have Changed

Since then America has been hijacked by a fanatical cult of collectivists.

By social justice warriors who want to handicap the strong and glorify the weak.

Victimhood has been elevated to the highest moral plane of their godless religion.

The very men who built their country have been deemed oppressors and beyond redemption.

The result is a nation of lazy, whiny, entitled, weak-minded crybabies.

America has been brought to it’s knees by these pussies and their victim mentality.

I REFUSE To BE A VICTIM

I refuse despite meeting all their criteria.

As a child I grew up a poor, fatherless, bastard watching my mother struggle to make ends meet.

I never knew my grandparents because they disowned me for being born out of wedlock.

I could whine about how unfair my life has been, but whining is what victims do, not men.

I refuse to be a victim because I refuse to let circumstances define me.

Instead I define myself by my achievements and by my character as a man.

Growing up fatherless made me stronger than other men.

I learned to rely on myself and solve my own problems.

Now I get paid to solve problems for other men.

To teach other men how to be victors.

SO HOW DO YOU BECOME A VICTOR?

1) Believe In Yourself

Believe in your own self worth.

Believe that you’re capable and worthy of good things.

If you don’t believe in yourself no one else will.

2) Be Dedicated

Dedicate yourself to victory.

Develop a mentality of achievement and define yourself by your accomplishments.

Judge each day by how much you’ve achieved.

3) Define Your Mission

Define your life’s purpose – what you were put on this planet to accomplish.

You should be able to tell this to a complete stranger in one sentence.

A man on a mission can change the world, a man without one is lost.

4) Reframe Failure

Failure is an inevitable step on the path to victory.

Don’t let your losses define you.

View the inevitable failures along your path as feedback and learn what not to do.

5) Never Quit

Never, ever quit.

Promise yourself that you will never quit your mission until it’s accomplished.

This is especially true when things gets tough.

6) Become Victorious

Are You Committed To Total Victory?

I’ve given you the road map but the rest is up to you.

If you’re not willing to commit then I can’t help you.

I can only help guys who are willing to help themselves.

Guys who are willing to do whatever it takes.

Guys who refuse to be victims of a cruel, unjust world.

If you’re not willing to make the commitment to victory that’s OK, the world always needs more victims.

Victims like the men who live in a factory and work fifteen hours a day to make your iPhone.

Men who need suicide nets on their windows to stop them from jumping.

Men who are sentenced to a lifetime of slavery for being born in the wrong country at the wrong time.

Men who would kill for a shot at victory.

I feel for these men in my heart but I won’t be one of them, will you?

By being born in a western country you have a choice that these men don’t have.

By being born in a western country you have an opportunity that these men can only dream of.

Are you going to seize your opportunity or are you going to squander it?

The Choice Is Yours

Are you going to be a winner or a stepping stone on another man’s path to victory?

Are you going to call the shots or call another man your boss?

Are you going to beat the system or let the system beat you?

Are you going to take what you want or let another man have it?

Will you Be a victor or a victim?
