In the protocol I've developed for Afro-Ascetic Athletes, we use simple solutions to track progress and adjust our technique.
We care deeply about our practice so we track the progress.
No one else can truly tell you if you're progressing but you.
You can try all the tips and tricks in the world but the first step to improving literally any respect of your life is tracking. If you don’t track, you don’t care.
Building a business is an underrated form of therapy because, to grow your business, you must grow yourself. 10 times out of 10, the thing holding back the business is you.
There are two types of people:
1. People that work just enough that people don’t criticize them
2. People that work to be the absolute best there’s ever been
Do not ask them to work together.
Most people want to see longevity before they believe in it. They want the aesthetics of immortality without understanding the discipline beneath it.
On the BTM protocol, I’ve tested this multiple times. The results are always immediate.
This was achieved using buffet food only, following BTM guidelines, and applying roughly 70 percent of the total protocol.
That was intentional. This was done to prove that the practice is viable even with limited funds. About fifteen dollars a day.
The smartest age in life may be 55 to 60 – not in your 20s.
Raw cognitive abilities, such as processing speed and memory, often peak early in life. Athletes typically hit their prime before 30, mathematicians make major breakthroughs by their mid-30s, and chess champions rarely stay dominant past 40.
However, a new research reveals that overall psychological functioning—including personality traits, judgment, and emotional intelligence—peaks much later, between ages 55 and 60.
A study analyzing 16 key traits across the lifespan found that conscientiousness peaks around 65, emotional stability reaches its height near 75, moral reasoning deepens in older age, and the ability to avoid cognitive biases may improve into the 70s or 80s.
When combined into a single index, these traits suggest the mind is most balanced in the late 50s, blending experience, emotional steadiness, and sound judgment. This may explain why many top leaders and thinkers achieve their greatest impact in midlife.

Train Daily, because the involuntary rest days will find their way on your schedule.
On my protocol those days are blessings more than they are harmful to my goals.
