As much as I’d like to bring joy to the world — make women sigh and men give me side-eye — by baring my glorious arms in public, the reality is that it’s so often cold in supermarkets and stores that my living paragons of Kratos must most often remain sadly veiled.

Raise the temperature a bit, and I can in turn help raise the mercury in your pants. 😉

What is the one thing for which you can never forgive an ex?

Throwing plates at me to try to incite me to hit her. I did not, but broke up with her five minutes after that. A few plates struck me but luckily did no real damage. She insisted I was not a “real man” because I did not do anything to fight back.

I have no doubt I’m a real man, and also no doubt that she was a real sociopath.

It’s been interesting to see the many, many people who insisted their health problems had nothing to do with their obesity then admit that those issues have “mysteriously” disappeared when they lost weight due to Ozempic or Wegovy.

Funny that!

TikTok is the most successful propaganda and out-in-the-open espionage (oxymoron, I know) operation in history. That we allowed TikTok to fester and infect American minds with unfiltered CCP spew…dang, we’re dumbasses.

Most people don’t realize we are in a cold war on the way to a hot war. Almost certainly with China, and possibly with Russia. Hot war with China is 80% likely. Russia too, if it manages to triumph in Ukraine. Then Putin will almost certainly make an attempt on Poland 2-4 years after that.

Then things are gonna get very fucked. And no one seems to realize it.

America’s terrible food culture really shows here.

To be clear about the the below, my goal was to get Thor arms naturally — which is much harder without using the dangerous supplements that nearly all Hollywood actors make use of. That takes huge consistency, a lot of time, and working out hard and frequently.

I did that in my 40s, which I was told was “impossible” by more than one person. But I frickin’ did it. Yeah, I rule. Deal with it.

What’s the most common inaccurate health or fitness view most people hold?

That you need to work out as hard and as often as I do to see significant gains and health benefits. Realize that when I post my “impossible” celebrity workouts, I am very consciously making the tradeoff that I will work out 3-4x as much and as hard as the average person needs to — all to receive only 25-30% more benefits.

Most people don’t need to do what I do. Most people probably would not stick to it. However, I wanted Thor arms so that’s what I went for. And that’s what I got. I knew what it’d take and I did it. You can too but perhaps you should not.

(I’m reacting to journalists writing things like, “No one can work out like Hugh Jackman!!!!!111111” Well, someone can. I do. And I have no dietitians nor even a personal trainer. But it’s not at all necessary to work out like Hugh Jackman or Chris Evans to receive absolutely huge benefits. This is where the American binary thinking goes wrong. People believe not working out like Hugh Jackman == failing utterly.

However, the reality is that the average person should be doing 20-40 minutes of medium- to high-impact exercise 2-3 times a week to receive most of the benefits that I do. By comparison, I work out 5-6 times a week for 30 minutes to 1.5 hours each time.)
