=== Can't Look Like Me (04:56) ===

[00:00:00]  Greetings my glorious disciples.
[00:00:02]  Today I thought to clarify something because yesterday I talked a bit about physique goals and aesthetic archetypes etc.
[00:00:12]  So I thought to be ultra clear with this and I have been all throughout my great crusade in the Immaterium I've been clear about this fact but I just thought to make another video clarifying it.
[00:00:27]  So as the title suggests you can't look like me because only I can look like myself.
[00:00:34]  You can look better than I do however.
[00:00:36]  But when it comes to my unique look, it's down to genetics.
[00:00:42]  I have often gotten the accusation of steroids and I can just say I will make a separate video responding to these vile accusations later.
[00:00:51]  But there is an objective truth and that is that I've never taken any steroids.
[00:00:57]  If you say anything otherwise you are a liar.
[00:01:00]  That is the truth.
[00:01:02]  If you don't like it I don't care.
[00:01:04]  It is what it is.
[00:01:06]  I look the way I look due to genetics and a lot of hard work over a very long period of time.
[00:01:12]  Now what I would like to say to everyone is that even if you follow exactly all of my teachings you cannot look like me and that is not the point either.
[00:01:23]  I want you my dear disciple to be the best that you can be.
[00:01:29]  Which means in this case if we're talking about the physique aspect it means you putting on 5 or 10 kg of muscle.
[00:01:38]  That is what this is about.
[00:01:39]  Then you go to my channel, you watch through some training videos I have up, then you hit the gym and you have you know exactly what to do in the gym because you follow a plan of progression.
[00:01:51]  So you know next time I go into the gym I will do bench press at this particular weight and this will be either more repetitions or more weight than my last session.
[00:02:02]  That is how you progress.
[00:02:03]  So don't think so much about that I want to look like this sculpture or that guy or this guy.
[00:02:12]  Think more.
[00:02:12]  I want to take one step further and then how you will look with 5 kg extra of muscle it's up to your genetics and what I say with that you can't look like me it's down to genetics.
[00:02:25]  Only I have my unique proportions and only you have your unique proportions.
[00:02:29]  Now obviously you can look similar to other guys and some of you might look similar to me and a lot of you might look better than I do because your genetics are looking more aesthetically pleasing etc.
[00:02:42]  But the point is that don't compare yourself so much to others.
[00:02:47]  The important thing is that you go forward every single time and that you become the best that you can be.
[00:02:55]  So I've talked a bit about hyperindividualism etc but if there is one case where you can be a bit more focused on only yourself it's in the gym because that's about you.
[00:03:06]  It's about you taking a step forward.
[00:03:08]  So your full focus should be how can I get further towards my goals and you don't even need to focus so much on your goals.
[00:03:17]  Your goals should be how to get stronger for each session or how to get more shredded for each day because you had her to a good nutritional schedule.
[00:03:26]  And also a note on steroids.
[00:03:28]  There are plenty of guys who take tremendous amounts of steroids who will not attain my aesthetics because genetics yet again.
[00:03:35]  Anyway the point is that you do not know if you're new in the Temple of Iron you don't know how you will look with 10 kg extra of muscle.
[00:03:44]  You will have to figure that out but I can say that you will be happier, healthier, more confident, more capable of violence and it's very good for you.
[00:03:54]  So there's only benefits to be had and I suggest that you start.
[00:03:58]  And then lastly a note on how to train to achieve a certain type of aesthetics.
[00:04:04]  Your body can do two things or your muscles can do two things.
[00:04:07]  They can either grow or they can decrease in size.
[00:04:10]  And what you can do further is you can either increase your amount of fat or you can decrease your amount of fat.
[00:04:16]  So if you want to have a good classic heroic physique you will want to put on size, you want to put on muscle mass and you want to decrease fat.
[00:04:25]  And how you look after that is up to your genetics.
[00:04:28]  So if you have a certain aesthetics in mind, the keys to get there are still the same.
[00:04:34]  Increase muscle mass and potentially reduce fat.
[00:04:39]  So I hope that was a good clarification and I want you to view this as a white pill that no matter how you will end up looking you will look better, you will feel better if you put on 5 or 10 kg of muscle no matter what your goal aesthetics is.
