This is a repost of one of my most hated articles on Medium.

Hey pencil arms, lean in and give this a read..
This is an elite list for a reason, and you don’t need to follow it to the tee, especially if you’re a straight baby back bitch.
Let’s go:
1. Beat the sun up.
Beyond the joys of witnessing the slow stirring of life in the early morning, sunrises and gaining back more time, there is a powerful sense of ownership that comes from getting up early.
Generals with donkey nuts get up before their slumbering armies, just like you emerge before anyone else.
Doing things that elite people do instantly makes you elite. You embody the figure of a leader.
Wake when it’s dark. Your life will change.
Don’t whine, just do this tomorrow.
2. Nofap / retention.
The temptations can be huge, and I get it. But you sabotage your success greatly if you fiddle your Jimmy Jangler or watch Sally shaking her milkers on Wimp Hub.
The benefits of quitting are documented and monumental over the longer term.
Handling your sexual urges is the foundational habit that transfers into all other disciplines. Elite men can say no to pussy handed to them on a plate or screen.
The key part (the secret) is semen retention, which I attribute to my most successful phases in life. It also makes you live longer.
You needn’t stop sleeping with women to retain.

3. No alcohol or drugs.
Beer might seem manly, and there’s a sentimentality to the idea of men drinking alcohol.
Cool, but it will also cloud your mind, make you depressed, and give you bitch tits.
Same with drugs, and don’t give me that shit about how it ‘eases your anxiety’ — it’s all an excuse and makes it worse.
So just quit entirely, even when it’s Christmas. Be boring as F.
Elite men know that the real reward isn’t a cold beer or a spliff after a long day — it’s the thrill of having a clear head, humungous nuts, and natural warrior energy.
Be elite, or don’t. It’s up to you.
4. Daily 1-hour exercise with sweat.
Most men’s exercise these days consists of running around in Call of Duty.
Sweaty exercise expels toxins and makes you feel freaking incredible.
In this weak ass world, working out daily gives you a major advantage and extends your life.
So do more of it than most, and ride that beautiful endorphin high daily. You’ll separate yourself from the chubby herd.
5. Eat animals raw.
Alex, bro, did you lose your mind?
We over here munching on leaves and shit and we’re having a merry old time bruv.
Ok, cool. Good for you, but did you miss the memo that plants evolved to protect themselves, which means they’re toxic to your gut? Lol.
Your ancestors killed animals, thanked the gods for them while flexing their nips, treated animals well in their company, and then they ate them.
Sure, cook your meat a little, but the more cooked, the fewer nutrients are retained.
Stop being a limp wrist, ditch the imported boxed goji crackers, and show your love for animals by eating them.
6. Ice cold shower.
I know, I know, you’ve seen this one a million times in self-help articles.
But this is here to remind us all of the power of stepping into momentary acute discomfort and staying with the shock.
There’s also the added benefit of a husky voice from all the screaming in freezing agony.
You don’t need an article in a science magazine to know that cold exposure feels good and makes you stronger.
This transfers to a fearlessness in all areas of life.
Why ignore this tool when it’s in your bathroom or back yard?
7. Intolerance to worry.
Many of us go our entire lives believing the lie that worry is somehow helpful.
It seems like we have more control if we over-analyse and ruminate — very common in men.
But there’s only one thing we need to know that confirms the futility of worry: it makes us feel like warmed up shit.
If we feel bad, our performance and effectiveness diminishes.
That’s not an elite state.
Ruthlessly turn away from worry, and either rest, play or work.
Insights and solutions come in those latter states.
8. Obsessive productivity.
The most alive men stopped simping for Kathleen years ago.
Now they prioritise success, making an impact with their talents and making good money above all else.
You don’t wait for obsession.
You beat your chest right now and you create it.
From this position of security, you are in a far better position to help and support those that need you. Stop chasing ass and build something remarkable.
Women will perk their little ears up when they see your influence and the mountain of resources you’ve built for yourself.
9. One scary thing.
It’s scientifically proven that taking risks and being bold raises testosterone. Incorporate one thing that gets your pulse moving every day.
You don’t need to base jump off the Chrysler building — take it in your stride. Write the article that you’re scared to write. Talk to that girl. Ask for that job.
Do one little thing that is a bit of stretch and you will expand exponentially in the long run.
Now, bro, become elite and build something insane.
We’re waiting.
