Before you pull the trigger on that custom. Have you been running a stack? What has your stack been? You haven’t posted in 2 years, so I am curious.
Genesis is the new kid on the block, and it works, it works DAMN well.
Customs are amazing, but they are expensive (perhaps not an issue) and building a good custom is a bit of an art in itself (the bigger issue). Customs also aren’t really “better” what they are, is custom made to YOUR personal circumstances. Your circumstances are very, very common (based on what you said).
For the price of that one custom, you could get 8 programs that could see you through an utter transformation and burst you into the stratosphere.
In that short post you said a few things that raise some feelers for me: out of shape, mentally struggling, feel out of control, feel like you might lose your job, and you got kids to worry about to top it all off.
Okay, so you just listed some goals. You need inner power and non-reactivity (alpha title), you need to get in shape (physical shifting), you need to be mentally sharp (cognitive sub).
For less than 150 bucks you can start a stack that will start healing all those issues.
What’s your job? Because there are cognitive programs targeted to writing, programming, stock trading, art, or general mental enhancement. Pick one of those.
Pick an alpha title, any will do, just pick the one you resonate with: Ascension, Emperor, GLM, whathaveyou.
You need to get in shape, why not Legacy of the Spartan or Emperor fitness.
So, consider this:
Emperor, Emperor Fitness, Limitless
Or
EmP, LoTS, Ultimate Programmer
…
I digress.
Or, you could do this, which will work, and work wonderfully:
Genesis, Legacy of the Spartan, Revelation of Mind.
Run that stack for a few cycles, you’ll have nothing to worry about.
