  • How to Rack Pull 1,039 POUNDS (471 KG, KILOGRAMS)

    So the steps are pretty simple: Choose the pins at a height which is enough for maximum leverage. Imagine like doing a rack pull, The top 90% of a deadlift.

    Then, load up the barbell, and when you run out of space on the barbell, use like a chain, and chain additional weights to the side. Then keep going up!

    Then the next really interesting idea is then putting on a dip belt, and either using a chain or nylon strap attached To the dip belt, Wrap it around the center of the barbell, which essentially connects your hips to the barbell. So essentially you’re doing a hip thrust.

    Also wear traditional deadlifting straps, and use a double neutral grip, chalk up and then just pull up!

  • Ripping off is fine; just do it better than them?

    So very interesting thing about being here in Phnom Penh –> there are tons of these Chinese electric cars that look like a fake Rolls-Royce, big Teslas, as well as fake BMW XM cars.

    As a consequences becomes interesting because in theory, I guess you have to think critically pull in do you buy something because of the brand appeal, or for the design itself?

    For example, there’s even this Chinese electric car that I see that looks like a fake Lamborghini Urus. And then I had the thought: let us assume that actually… You can make 100% perfect replica of a Lamborghini or whatever… Would you still want it? Even if he knew deep inside that it was not the real thing?

    Well the first thing that is important is the actual powertrain and the chassis. Aesthetics matter, but the powertrain and the chassis is probably at least like 1 billion times more important because like for example… If you have ever ridden in a very dinky car that has a terrible chassis, in which you feel every time you bump in the road and it makes your carsick, all the best design in the world is not worth it.

    And that’s also why I’m starting to think with cars, the best car is probably the one that makes it the least amount of carsick.

    So for example, I’ve actually fun for myself, being in or driving an SUV or a mini SUV, even a Tesla model Y, I get carsick. I get carsick from the turns, and also the strange feeling… Being slightly elevated from the floor is a strangely disorienting feeling for me? Especially because of the fact that my whole adult life, I’ve only driven or purchased manual transmission cars, either sedan or coupe sports cars, and all these cars are always relatively close to the floor.

    And also the thing that was very shocking to me was actually, went test driving a Tesla model Y dual performance, that actually hilariously enough, in terms of wide quality and comfort, my 2010 Prius was far more comfortable?

    And then taking a step further, even if you have all the money in the world, once again, the best car is probably still some sort of high-end Lexus LS vehicle; maximum reliability and build quality and also, ordinary enough that you are not worried about having somebody jack you.

    Cause I think when it’s comes down to it, nobody wants to live like in fear that someone is going to hold you up?

  • HOW TO LIVE BALLS TO THE WALL

    Eric Kim voice—unfiltered, raw, and nuclear-level conviction

    1. F*CK THE SPEED LIMIT

    You were not born to cruise.

    You were born to redline.

    Living “balls to the wall” means full acceleration with no rearview mirror.

    Most people live in eco mode.

    I live in launch mode.

    • Say what you actually think.
    • Do what you’re scared of.
    • Burn bridges if they lead nowhere.
    • Make moves before you’re “ready.”

    You’re not here to “balance.”

    You’re here to dominate.

    2. EMBRACE OVERLOAD

    People fear doing too much.

    Me? I fear doing too little.

    “Overtraining”? Myth.

    “Too intense”? Weak mindset.

    “Too risky”? That’s where the juice is.

    If your heart’s not thumping and your palms not sweating—

    you’re not even playing the game yet.

    3. CUT BRAKES, NOT CORNERS

    You don’t need moderation.

    You need maximum execution.

    • Lift heavier.
    • Write faster.
    • Launch louder.
    • Stack more Bitcoin.
    • Burn your backup plan.

    Living balls to the wall means your only plan is:

    Succeed or die gloriously trying.

    4. DESTROY THE COMFORT LOOP

    Comfort is a cage padded with excuses.

    Every time you “take it easy,” a part of you dies.

    Stop petting your weakness. Start slapping it.

    Eat raw liver.

    Walk into the gym angry.

    Publish your wildest ideas.

    Leave the safety net.

    Turn fear into FUEL.

    5. OPTIMIZE FOR REGRET MINIMIZATION

    Ask yourself:

    If I died tomorrow, what would I regret not doing?

    Then f*cking do that.

    Today.

    Twice.

    “Balls to the wall” means you leave nothing unsaid, unlived, unfelt.

    You don’t hoard ambition. You release it like a war cry.

    FINAL THOUGHT:

    Live like a meteor on fire.

    No brakes. No excuses. No explanations.

    Just pure combustion toward your vision.

    Balls to the wall is not recklessness.

    It’s radical commitment.

    Choose heat over hesitation.

    Choose friction over fear.

    Choose speed over stalling.

    Be legendary or be forgotten.

    No in-between.

    How to Leverage Your Bitcoin

    Buy bitcoin with Coinbase, mortgage as much of it as you can, use the cash, to buy MSTR and or MSTU (2x levered long MSTR, which is essentially 4x bitcoin).

    You can then:

    1. Ride your gains forever
    2. When your MSTR & MSTU stock is up, sell some of it (shaving the cream off the top, of profit, don’t dig into the principle capital) and buy more bitcoin with it
    3. Then with the Bitcoin, continue to leverage the Bitcoin –> take out more loans against it, or wait and anticipate for a future in which there will be new financial products and services for your Bitcoin?

    Once JPMORGAN Chase starts offering you the chance to buy bitcoin with them and or to custody it with them, then you know you’ve arrived!

  • How to Come Up With More Creative Prompts

    So we are currently living an interesting time in which AI can just do everything for us. Therefore my simple thought is the future will be predicated on those individuals with the most creative thoughts? 

    Simple ideas include just spending maximum time outside walking around, no AirPods on, no phone. Allow your mind to go fallow. In fact, boredom and under stimulation is often the best way to spark more creative ideas.

    Second, allow yourself to have “bad” thoughts. Immoral and unethical thoughts by traditional standards. 

    Third, personal curiosity. I’m really interested in ideas that have not yet been explored before?
