THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE BODY\n\n

Beautiful body, beautiful mind:

\n\n

---

\n\n

I would not trust a skinny fat guy philosophizing about beauty, the human soul, or the body.

\n\n

Why is this important? The body is real, the mind is not.

\n\n

Also, what manifests as our \u201cmind\u201c, is simply an offshoot of our body.

\n\nBody therapy, not mind therapy \ufffc\n\n

The reason why this is such an important and radical idea is this: all of this talk about mental therapy, mental health, etc., is misguided. The focus should be bodily health, and physical health, not mental.

\n\n

Or another words, if your bodily health is great, your mental health will also be great.

\n\nWhy does nobody seem to have good mental health?\n\n

Besides myself, I don\u2019t really know anybody who has good mental health, nor good physical health. Why is this? My theory is that it seems like other guys are too dependent on steroids, drugs, alcohol, marijuana, or other unnatural things, protein powder, creatine, pre-workout powder, etc.

\n\n

Also, the problem is that the typical American is far too addicted to media, spends too much time indoors, and is typically an office slave.

\n\nWhat does a beautiful or healthy body even mean?\n\n

This is where philosophy is important; what is the meaning of a beautiful body, or a beautiful soul?

\n\n

The reason I cannot trust anybody as role models is that I don\u2019t know whether they have taken steroids, or \u201ccheated\u201d or not. I can only trust myself in my own experiences. Because I cannot lie to myself.

\n\n

For example, my successful 540 pound deadlift, at a body weight of around 160-165 pounds, and at a height of around 5 foot 10 to 5 foot 11. Also, doing it all fasted, not eating breakfast or lunch. Also, Not using protein powder, creatine, pre-workout powder, steroids, drugs, human growth hormone, etc. in my strength building. Just plain old black coffee, and meat.

\n\nMan or woman?\n\n

I\u2019m not gonna talk too much about female matters, because I am a man. I feel uneasy philosophizing too much about woman beauty, if I\u2019m not a woman.

\n\n

As a man, I could comment about male aesthetics, and male beauty. My first thought is what do we really seek as men? I think it is to become more sexy. Not necessarily to become more buff, or bigger.

\n\n

For example, when it comes to women, it seems most women prefer more of the Brad Pitt physique in fight club, than the modern day bodybuilder look. In fact, it is only typically men who are more interested in becoming a super super massive, rather than being an attractive quality to women.

\n\n

Why is this? My theory is that humans we know what is naturally proportional and what is not naturally proportional. Even me, I was naive for so long, but essentially I\u2019ve learned that when it comes down to it, essentially everybody is on steroids, or some unnatural form of human growth hormone. This includes not only bodybuilders, but powerlifters, strong man, cross fitters, even the people in yoga and the natural \u201ccalisthenics\u201d crowd.

\n\nLess adipose tissue\n\n

My first thought is this: for man, to have less body fat, a.k.a. adipose tissue, is more attractive, sexy, and beautiful.

\n\n

What is the ideal? You don\u2019t want it to be too low, as when men dip into the single digits for body fat percentage, they often lack testosterone and vigor. I suppose a good ideal it\u2019s just whether you could see your six pack abs or not.

\n\nTestosterone\n\n

Then it seems like the next thing is this: to increase your testosterone, which is the life force energ
