How to spend 80% less time in the gym and get BETTER results for building muscle than you're getting now (SERIOUSLY)

Backed up by science.

Thread 👇

First mistake:

Doing too many exercises.

All you need is:

- A squat or similar movement
- A hip hinge
- Vertical push
- Vertical pull
- Horizontal push
- Horizontal pull

Add in some calf work and ab work.

You don't need multiple exercises for each muscle group.

Some people do 3 or 4 different exercises for each of the above, e.g. a flat bench press, a decline bench press, a pushup, an incline dumbbell press... this is a waste of time.

All of those are using the same muscles and fall into the "horizontal pull" category.

All you need to do is pick ONE for each category and lift to failure with good form.

Reaching failure (or close) creates the stimulus for adaptation.

Adding more work does not increase this stimulus, it just adds more muscle damage that you've got to recover from.

The other mistake is that people do too many sets.

You've all seen the bros in the gym on chest day...

HAMMERING the chest with 5 sets of flat bench press, 5 sets of incline, 3 sets of decline, 5 sets of flyes...

This is just cutting into recovery and making results worse.

Text analysis is a treasure trove of predictive information.

Yet 90% of companies don’t know how to use it.

They are overlooking one of the most powerful and predictive sources of information…

In fact, text analysis is part of the strategy that I used to help double my business in 2022...

While companies like Facebook (Meta) lost 70% of their value.

My company went from $0.9M/year to $2,000,000 per year.

Using text analysis was a key piece.

So imagine how valuable you could become to your company if you doubled the part of the business you touch...

In less than 12 months.

They'd be more than happy to give you a $20,000 raise...

You just made them $1M. (or more)

But you need to learn Text Analysis so you can improve model performance...

Which leads to:

1. a better understanding of customers

2. a better understanding of products

3. better lead scoring

4. better marketing

5. $1,000,000+ ROI

I went from "shyest man alive" to speaking on stage.

If you're a man struggling with confidence, read this:

I was arguably the shyest man alive.

I feared rejection
I rarely spoke up
I barely made new friends or approached women

People told me to my face "why do you never talk?"

Today I've realized the root of why I was so shy (you may have a huge epiphany moment reading this)...

As humans, we have a strong instinct to be liked by the people around us.

You see, 2000 years ago roaming the earth in tribes, you NEEDED to be liked or else you'd get kicked from your tribe, and face the mountain lions, disease, & conditions by yourself (basically meant death).

My route to achieve this human instinct - to be liked, was speak as little as possible.

Other people take a different route - speak as much as possible.

But at the end of the day, we are all aiming to be liked.

Now, I knew the root cause... how did I overcome this lack of confidence?

1st - you must accept shyness does not serve you.

Once you fully accept this and are open to change, there are 7 keys I identified that helped me become confident.

Here are the 7 keys to confidence:
