The most satisfying feeling you can get in the gym is… The Pump.
Blood is rushing into your muscles and that’s what we call The Pump.
It feels fantastic.
It’s as satisfying to me as cumming is, you know, as in having sex with a woman and cumming.
So can you believe how much I am in heaven?
I am getting the feeling of cumming in the gym; I’m getting the feeling of cumming at home; I’m getting the feeling of cumming backstage; when I pump up, when I pose out in front of 5000 people I get the same feeling, so I am cumming day and night.
It’s terrific, right?
So you know, I am in heaven.
The above quote comes from Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie “Pumping Iron“.
He is referring to the muscle contraction (pump) experienced while lifting weights.
And this “pump” doesn’t just apply to getting swole.
Yes, other areas of life have a “pump” as well.
Pump = energy flow.
The Most Important Of All?
The pump of your LIFESTYLE.
It’s the PULSE / rhythm you are living.
You see, this pump is created by the environments + tasks you interact with.
They increase and decrease various PRESSURES which shape your quality of life.
- Too much pressure = overload
- Too little pressure = lack of vitality
How do you know when to shift?
Your body tells you.
Many have their bodies screaming at them to “work their pump”, yet they continue to:
- Eat soy
- Sit on the couch
- Hang with weesh dudes
- Indulge in hedonism 24/7
and wonder why they’re “depressed”.
There is a reason why monster ocean swims + heavy workouts + social/creative risks are so refreshing…
They contract your LIFESTYLE muscle.
After all, your lifestyle / health is an INTERCONNECTED SYSTEM.
Other actions such as:
- reading
- meditation
- hiking, etc
are all TOOLS to work different “muscle groups”.
This is why pure luxury 24/7 does not lead to fulfillment.
(You’re letting your vitality go to shit).
Endless riches and/or indulgences is no escape from the balancing scale of the universe.
Sure, you could hang like Jabba the Hutt in a 5 star penthouse, taking drugs and tricking off on hoes all day, but that would kill your fire.
Monk Mode Vs. Active Mode: Which is The Better Lifestyle?
People spend hours debating this topic on social media every day.
- Party mode Vs Monk mode
- Athletic mode Vs Creative mode
- Adventure mode Vs Home base mode
- Going to bed late Vs Getting up early
And the real answer is: neither.
Why?
These are just tools to “work your pump”.
You see, an optimal pump is created by “cycling extremes”.
This is what creates the most positive tension which leads to the most explosive growth.
Multi-Domain Success = A QUALITY Lifestyle Pump.
One of the most important aspects of this pump is WHERE YOU GET YOUR MONEY FROM.
I talk about it the most because it determines the overall structure of your life.
This is why so many people do this whole “liquid millionaire playboy” thing completely wrong.
They attain “success” in 1 or 2 areas, but lack the lifestyle FLEXIBILITY to master their pump.
And 1+ streams of internet income allows you to do so.
Why?
A: It gives you time / location / financial freedom.
How far you want to take it is up to you.
Conclusion
You want to chase time under tension, a pump, and deep burn.
- Getting a “pump” doesn’t just apply to lifting weights
- The most important pump is the tension of your lifestyle
- People feel unfulfilled when they neglect “muscle groups”
- An optimal pump is created by cycling extremes
- Internet income gives you the time / location / financial flexibility to master your pump
