10 Crazy Ways To Boost Your Confidence To The Moon ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€

/Thread/ Image
1. Get In Shape

Working on yourself, training hard and eating clean take discipline. We all know a good body doesn't come easy, right?

So, if you have a body you worked hard for, you can be proud of it and this will instantly increase your confidence.

โžก๏ธLook good = feel good. Image
What to aim for in your physique?

- big, proportioned muscles
- low bodyfat (<12%)
- abs showing
- legs trained (thick quads and big glutes)
- broad shoulders
- big chest
2. Challenge Yourself

The more you put yourself out there, face challenges and overcome them, the more confident you will become.

Speaking to girls you don't know may be intimidating at first but you will see that if you put your balls on the line it actually is not that scary. Image
Confident man are confident because they have faced many challenges.

"I've done it before so I can do it again".

The sooner you start pushing yourself, the more reference experiences you can build, thus the more confident you will become.

Just throw yourself in the pit man.
3. Increase Income

Whether it is a side hustle (Twitter can make you BIG money) or asking for a raise, more money flowing in will lower your stress and improve your quality of life A LOT

Creating something that pays all by yourself = WAY MORE confident.

It is CRUCIAL that you use your money wisely.

Warren Buffet said "If you spend things you don't need, you soon will have to sell things you need."

So be smart about it.

Invest in
- stocks๐Ÿ“ˆ
- yourself (courses, guides, gym etc)
- crypto ๐Ÿ’ธ
- experiences (minutes > dollars) โœˆ๏ธ
4. Teach Yourself Something

Nothing beats the feeling of trying something by yourself, failing but persisting and then ultimately succeeding.

"I DID IT!!!"

When was the last time you had that feeling? And how did you feel afterwards?

Yep, confident as fuck. Do more of that.
5. Focus On Yourself

There will always be someone better, taller, tougher, richer than you. And that's OK.

You need to focus on yourself with laser like vision.

Try to improve yourself each and every single day instead of trying to be like someone else.

Focus on YOUR life. Image
6. Dress Well

"Every girl goes crazy about the sharp dressed man" - ZZ Top

It's true. But, girls are not the point. Your confidence is. And guess what? When you dress like you give a damn, you feel like you give a damn.

Dress well, feel well. Simple. Image
Ditch the hoodies and havana shirts. Start dressing like A MAN.

- suits
- use clothes to layer
- no prints
- boots > sneakers
- no skinny jeans

Tip: look at action heroes and dress like they do. Scott Adkins, Jason Statham, Daniel Craig etc.
7. Carry Yourself Like A Man

Sit and stand up straight. Push your shoulders back. Hold your chin up and look people in the eye.

This is a nice mental trick because your body tells your brain that you are confident, and so you will naturally act confident. Image
8. Speak With Impact

Emulate confident men and you WILL feel more confident. Know how forcing a smile lifts your mood?

Well, it's the same with confidence and speaking with impact helps a lot.

Do more of this
- speak slowly
- say relevant things
- speak deeper
- use pauses Image
9. Push Harder

Confident men aim high and achieve big because
- they know they have the skills
- they love challenges
- take risks

If you want to elevate yourself you must believe that you are worthy of larger goals.

Push hard in
- business
- gym
- social network
- experience Image
10. Know What You Want

Take the time to write down what you want to do in life.

How do you want to contribute to the world?
What makes you happy?

Answer these with complete honesty. Then go after what you wrote down relentlessly.
Knowing what you want and going after it will massively boost your confidence because you're doing something that you believe in.

But, that does take discipline and good habits.... gumroad.com/a/308155507/vrโ€ฆ

This will help with that.

They want you obese with a lifetime medical subscription

I want you to be full of energy & never see a hospital again

Here are 9 health myths to stop believing if you want a healthy & strong bodyโคต๏ธ

Nothing causes weight gain except consistently eating more calories than you burn per day (a.k.a being in a caloric surplus).

But it really doesnโ€™t matter where those calories come from.

Protein, carbs, fats - all of them can make you fat if you eat too much of them.

Bottom line is:

If you eat in a calorie surplus, you will gain weight.
If you donโ€™t, you wonโ€™t.

Carbs are not your enemy.

Fat and muscle are different types of tissue and have different biochemical structures.

You can only turn fat into energy, use this energy for your workouts and then eat protein and carbs to build new muscle tissue.

That's how it actually works.

Your dad bod is killing your joints and increasing your risk for:

- divorce
- Alzheimer
- heart failure

If you want to lose fat and keep it off for good, follow these 8 tips:

1. Build your SRE (Stomach Real Estate) portfolio.
By stomach real estate I mean food that takes up a lot of space in your stomach, without being high in calories.

The more you do this, the less your body will feel hunger and the less you will binge-eat or be miserable.
2. Stop doing cardio for fat loss.

Cardio is for heart health.
A calorie deficit is for fat loss.

You achieve the latter by using more energy than you eat on a daily basis.

And cardio helps, but is definitely not a requirement.

In 3 months I went from skinny-fat jeet to Dutch chad.

And I did this without counting calories or asking for feet pics.

(save this)

In this thread we'll cover:

- nutrition
- training & cardio
- making adjustments
- mindset
- sleep
- lifestyle & habits

Let's get into it.
1. Nutrition

For this transformation I did not track my calories, but I did have a daily protein goal that I adhered to religiously.

I made sure to eat >192 grams of animal protein every single day.

This was a non-negotiable.

(>2 gr protein/kg bodyweight is a good goal)

Over the past 2 years I went from fit to jacked.

Here are 12 nutrition tips I learned that will get you to your dream physique:

1. Don't follow a diet. Image
If the diet has a name like keto, carnivore, vegan or anything else... stay far away from it.

You don't to exclude entire food groups or macronutrients.

What you need is a nutrition framework that fits your health and fitness goals.

Simple.
2. Eat 180 grams of animal protein a day.

Animal protein from sources like steak, minced beef, salmon, shrimp, eggs and Skyr yoghurt helps you build muscle, lose fat and feel full all at the same time.

For good results, eat around 180 grams each day.

Being fat ruins your joints and puts you at a higher risk of

- heart failure
- early death
- having a hoe as a daughter

If you want to prevent these things from happening to you, follow these 12 tips.

1. Stop doing keto. Image
Keto is just another fad diet.

Do you really think you're going to stick to a different eating pattern long enough to lose fat if you can't eat

- sourdough bread
- potatoes
- rice
- pasta
- honey
- pizza
- fruit
- burgers

I don't think so.
Also, if you are training hard (which you should be), carbs are essential fuel for good training sessions.

The higher your carbs, the better you can maintain performance in the gym.

This will do more for your fat loss progress than skipping carbs.

Meet Jake,

An online business owner who struggled to build muscle.

In 8 monhts, we got him big, strong and confident, without spending more than 4 hours in the gym per week.

Here's the exact approach we used:

(bookmark if you struggle to gain size)
Jake was not a special guy by any means. He was financially stable and happy with his life except for his physique.

He wanted to add size, and was already going to the gym, but failed to see any significant results.

Until he started working with me...

This is what we did๐Ÿ‘‡
1. Exercise Selection

The first thing we did was look at his build and match exercises based on that.

One example:

Jake has long limbs, so we swapped barbell back squats for pendulum squats.

More knee flexion = better quad development.
