I’ve been reading a book called: Atomic Attraction by Christopher Canwell.

Chapter 1 talks about your SMV or your ‘Sexual Market Value’ and how increasing it will improve your attractiveness to women.

There’s things like scent, fashion, voice, facial hair…

All are important.

But the one thing he talks about, that’s the most obvious, and easy win for 99% of men. (and in my opinion most important to focus on -at least in the beginning)

Is the attractiveness of your physique.

Canwell calls it ‘Building a strong body’.

But what he focuses on, is not only the looks itself. It’s what those looks say about you as a person.

He starts the chapter as follows:

“You’ve just been introduced to a man whose body is muscular and athletic. You look at this man and you’re immediately impressed by his physique. His body looks primed as though ready to explode. When the man speaks, he has your immediate respect, not because he’s dangerous, but because his presence sends a clear message: I’m worthy of respect. Simply by looking at this man you get a clear sense of his personality and character.”

He goes on to say a man like this is hard-working, focused, and persistent. After all, you don’t build a strong body by being lazy, lying around on the couch eating pizza all day.

Even more…

“You also know for a fact that this man is mentally strong and doesn’t shy away from hardship or pain. A strong body is, after all, a reflection of a strong mind. A man must be willing to sacrifice a degree of comfort for pain if he’s to carve out a muscular physique. Most men prefer to take the easy route in life, not this man. “

Remember these words: ‘Not This Man.’ Make it a mantra for your life.

Then he goes on and makes the comparison:

“Now imagine you’ve just been introduced to a man who’s overweight and out of shape. He cares little for his appearance and has a protruding belly and weak posture. He’s also a heavy smoker and drinks a lot, which does nothing to endear him to women. As you look at the weak, overweight man in front of you, you instantly- and without even being aware of it- lose a measure of respect. The man’s poor physique and excess body fat tell you all you need to know about his character.”

He then explains that the fat man is lazy, gluttonous, has poor self-control.

I think you get the point.

If you want to leave a good impression on people (and especially women), build a strong, muscular, and attractive physique.

Now, little disclaimer, building an attractive physique isn’t going to guarantee you women. (Im still single after all) But it’s the first thing you should take care off if you want to have any success at all.

It’s the foundation for everything else.

Talking about foundations…

If you want my personal help laying the foundations of your aesthetic physique and start building your strong body in the next 30 days, then my coaching program might be for you.

It’s expensive, and I only work with guys who are ready to work hard, and do exactly as I say for 30 days. (Because that’s the only way to ‘guarantee’ any results)

Reply to this email with ‘not this man’ if you think you’re up for the task and I’ll shoot you the details.

Chapter 1 of The Way Of The Superior Man by David Deida reads:

—

“Stop Hoping for a Completion of Anything in Life.

Most men make the error of thinking that one day it will be done. They think, “If I can work enough, then one day I could rest.” Or, “One day my woman will understand something and then she will stop complaining.” Or, “I’m only doing this now so that one day I can do what I really want with my life.” The masculine error is to think that eventually things will be different in some fundamental way. They won’t. It never ends. As long as life continues, the creative challenge is to tussle, play, and make love with the present moment while giving your unique gift.”

I apply that same mindset to my fitness journey.

See, when I started my ‘Gym Arc’ 2 years ago, I didn’t have any grand expectations. There was no “I want to gain 10 kg’s in the next 6 months!” kinda stuff going on. No, from the start, I made the decision that if I was going to do this properly, I was going to do it for the rest of my life.

And that’s still the mindset.

I frankly cannot imagine a future where I won’t be going to the gym somewhat consistently. (At least 3 days a week) And I don’t think that’s going to change anytime soon.

More,

My opinion is that, if you’re not planning on doing this ‘fitness thing’ for the rest of your life… you shouldn’t even bother starting.

That’s right.

And here’s why:

Let’s say you decide to finally do something about those skinny arms of yours, or your belly, or whatever it is… so you do what everybody does, you start going to the gym, you start eating properly, counting calories, protein, supplements… all the good stuff. And after a few months you start seeing some fantastic results. Awesome, life is good.

Now what?

Are you just gonna quit because you achieved your goal?

Hell no!

You keep going. Because once you get there, the goal shifts from ‘getting in shape’ to ‘staying in shape’. And that’s something you’re gonna have to do for the rest of your life. You don’t have a choice.

After all, who cares if you got in shape for a few months out of your 60-70+ year life? This is a lifelong journey, whether you like it or not.

Like I said. You don’t have a choice.

And if you want to start your ‘lifelong journey’ the right way, it’s important to get the foundations right.

And I can help you with that.
