I was an elite rower training for New Zealand's national eight. Every Saturday we'd finish five hours of training before 1pm. Then all twelve of us would pile into McDonald's and compete to see who could eat the most burgers. I'm not joking. This was the official advice. And I followed it. Because why wouldn't you trust the experts? But something never sat right. I was doing everything I was told. My energy still wasn't where it should be. I was getting sick more than made sense. Carrying inflammation I couldn't explain. I was doing everything right. Why did my body feel like this? So I went looking for my own answers. Years of research. Questioning everything. Then it clicked. The seed oils in all that food were signaling my body to store fat and conserve energy. Just like a bear preparing for winter. My body wasn't broken. It was running the wrong program. Once I removed those foods, everything changed. → Less than 1 hour of training a day to maintain it all → 102kg at 12% body fat → Broke the Liver King's Barbarian world record → First person in the Southern Hemisphere to complete the Super Barbarian Here's why this matters for you. You're not a rower. But you're eating the same way I was. The working lunch that's just a sandwich. The takeout because the day ran too long. The client dinner where everything is cooked in the wrong oils. All of it is running the same program in your body that McDonald's ran in mine. Store fat. Stay foggy. Run slow. I know what you're thinking. It can't be that simple. But when I was rowing I was training 22 hours a week and still felt broken. Now I train less than an hour a day and I'm in the best shape of my life. The training wasn't the problem. The food was. You can't out-train the wrong fuel. You can only remove it. Comment RESET and I'll show you exactly what I changed.

This community is built around simple systems that work when followed consistently. A few important rules before you start: Do not optimize. More is not better here. Do not skip ahead. The course is sequenced on purpose. Do not add extras. No extra supplements, protocols, or hacks. Finish Foundation first. Everything else builds on it. Ask questions publicly. If you’re confused, someone else probably is too. Your only job is to follow the system as written and let the results compound. Start slow. Stay consistent. Trust the process.

This is not about being perfect. It’s about being honest. Following the system means: - You try to do the steps as written - You don’t add extra rules, supplements, or hacks - You don’t skip ahead If you miss a day, you’re still in. Just continue the next day. If you follow most of it, that still counts. Just say what you did and didn’t do. Please don’t hide changes or “kind of” follow it without saying so. This group is for testing what actually works; that only works if check-ins are honest. You are not being graded. You are not being judged. Your job is simple: - Follow the system as written - Report what actually happened That’s it.
