From tomato can to Champion (Emperor and Boxing mastery)

Journals - Major Programs
#1

I was previously running a stack with Khan , quantum limitless and Emperor fitness mainly to really transform my life . A little background on me I’ve been living a life that I’ve always quietly hated . i struggled in almost every area in my life from sexual and romantic relationships to the quality of my friendships and even my fitness/athletic goals . For awhile i became obsessed and jealous of those who were born with exceptional amounts of talent and resented that i had so many limitations . After running my original stack for a few months i gained a clearer self image and had a greater understanding of what was actually holding me back from achieving the success . I know my potential is great and i have the tools to make it reality

My Goals

  1. Get my business off the ground and get it to the point where i can make upwards of 300k a year which would be enough to support my family while being able to live as freely as possible . i do not want to dedicate my talents to make other people richer

  2. I want to be an exceptional boxer and win several elite amateur competitions and take it as far as i can

  3. For now i want to have a thriving sex life with multiple gorgeous women and eventually settle down and start a family .

  4. i actually want to feel as confident and self assured as i pretend to be . one thing ive noticed is that my lack of self confidence has caused me to self sabotage in many instances .

to achieve these goals i have picked Emperor and Boxing mastery x which i plan to run for as long as possible .

Day 3 of current program

my first day of listening was paired along with the ascension chamber and there was a lot of immediate effects . I began to visualize how things should come together for me to become successful and realizing that i have to kill my need for instant gratification because its really blocking me from achieving anything worthwhile . I can admit that i was sitting on my ass in regards to taking action with my previous program and didn’t capitalize out on some good manifestations because i wanted things to fall in my lap . I was able to come up with a pretty good plan to really get out my current financial situation.

Something strange that i noticed is how these plans formulate in my head it literally looks like different blocks of puzzle coming together . Another thing that i noted in my offline journal is that last night before bed i just got overwhelmed with bitterness and depression about my current life and just ranted in my journal and when the rant was finished i felt a weight just lift off my chest and i just wrote down how all of it is my fault and they are things i can overcome with work and patience . Ive also began noticing all the small victories’ that have come from bad situations .

for boxing mastery i wasnt able to make it to the gym today so ill be looking for changes tomorrow

1st week of my current program is finished and the results have been interesting but before I dive into this i wanna throw in a little abstract based on some thoughts i have been having . What does it mean to be the master of your own reality ? I stare at the product page for emperor a lot and I realize it was more or less exactly what I needed in my life currently and that is swell an all but it made me feel some type of weird apprehension towards the concept . Can i really become this or will i fall short of my goals .

Emperor results

  • My voice gets deeper sometimes

  • There has been an increase in willpower that has been quite subtle

  • I`ve identified my greatest weaknesses which are a lack of mindfulness , confidence and consistency . I’ve realized that I have all the tools and knowledge at my fingertips to be in a completely different reality and the only thing i gotta do is take action in anyway possible

  • I usually struggle with long term planning and instant gratification mindset which sometimes makes me frustrated when i see some peoples fast results but randomly the thought of "who will you be in one year " keeps echoing in my head and its been creating this sense of peace inside of me .

  • i noticed that there is an largely increased appetite and need for sleep on this stack

  • Self assuredness has increased and this was a benefit that was so subtle too .

*loads of reframing of past adversities and general inconvenience’s to learning opportunities

Boxing mastery x

  • My endurance has improved slightly

  • maintaining proper boxing stance has become a lot easier

I don’t which of the subs did this but my fitness and muscular endurance increased randomly . Yesterday I felt like I could literally do 100s of pushups and was able to go above 200 reps . I was really expecting to be sore this morning but I woke up and felt absolutely nothing not even and ounce of soreness . I used to never understand how old school boxers would do hundreds upon hundreds of reps of pushups but all of a sudden I feel like it isn’t out of the ordinary anymore. Which is the thing that is throwing me off because the feeling was so subtle that I felt like it was just made me feel like it was something so normal. I am definitely going to up my training intensity now because even when i was playing sports in uni if did high rep pushups I’d be sore for days

so far its been 10 days for this current stack and i think things have just become a lot more interesting.
So i have adhd and like other adhd folk i have problem taking action but with emperor ive realized that i dont have to be like david goggins to be consistent or achieve what i want i just have to actually come up with a system of work and actually stick to it . Internal power is the resolute acceptance of who you are but not in a complacent bs “you’re perfect the way you are” but in the sense of " I am not perfect but I am perfect enough for my life". Now the fun thing that noticed about emperor was today at work as I was walking down the hall I saw a girl who is sexually my type to the T and as we were walking past each other she would not break eye contact.

I’ve also noticed that my body composition has gotten alot better and I definetly look less chunky . Ive also decided to add emperor fitness Stage 3 to my stack and run this whole thing for a year before switching . I don’t mind if things come slower and i feel like in 6 months I will be years ahead anyways .

More action is needed but i like how this stack is progressing even though it hasn’t even been 2 weeks yet lol . There was a comment on a thread about how recon is essentially the old you fighting the scripting and its honestly really helped me keep my head on straight . I have to keep reminding myself that subs are like cheat codes for personal development and instead of taking years of grueling work to get myself mentally where i want . I also noticed that there is something up with my eyes and i cant really place it .

Also I realize that recon is difficult because I thought recon was just you get a little sad and annoyed but I keep realizing that it’s causing alot of confusion in me with regards to my stack . Thinking about logically emperor has everything I really want and so does boxing mastery . I’m sticking back to my original plan on only 2 subs for 6 months then adding the third after that point .

I also recommend anyone to read principles by Ray dalio . I listened to the audio book last week and I realized I am doing with subs as ive done with other things . In boxing the most devasting punchers are seldomly the biggest guys and me chasing size in ef 3 was just my insecurities about not being huge .

#9

I’ve been defining recon as the current identity of the tomato can doing its very best to survive in the face of its impending death and like every cornered animal it is crafty and unpredictable. I want to expand on the previous entry because I feel like it was very much sleep deprived drivel .

In the book ray dalio mentions that life and
in history there are cycles of similar events that lead to similar outcomes . In my life I’ve had this problem of being very flip floppy with my goals for an example working out . I have always had some hangups about my body and when I went to college i got into lifting weights mostly strength training because lifting big weights made me feel really good . But after a while my progress slowed because I kept flip flopping between bulking and cutting and trying to do 6 different things during my training . I did this when I started playing sports in college i was lauded for my strength/power which went straight to my head . And instead of working on my speed , fitness and skills I was still focused on doing the superficial stuff that didn’t really make me any better and kind of fucked me in the long run .

I need to stick with being surgical and practical about the things that I want without chasing any magic squirrels .

Now for the results

Emperor is working quicker for me than khan was and I am feeling alot the ql aspects kick in really quick . My visualization skills are becoming alot better and I have noticed a.quite a few things about my current social circles . A lot of people like me but a lot of people do not respect me and that has always irritated me but it is something I ultimately brought on my self . Ive also noticed that I have been retaining things a lot better my mind is frequently focused on my business , career and boxing goals with random thoughts about me getting laid here and there .

Boxing mastery has been going very well and my biomechanics are getting smoother especially with my straight punches . They use to always take me off balance but I can actually throw them with devastating power because I can throw them with full rotation the best part about that is im going to get way better in a year . Also footwork has improved immensely to the point where pivots and moving around the bag become things I do without that much struggle. I also know which fighters to look at to develop my style .

beginning of week 3 of this current stack

Subconscious guidance is something that has become a lot stronger in me since i ran khan and quantum limitless for a couple months and sometimes with recon i dont know if its intuition or just the wild thrashing of the part of me I’m trying to be rid of . I’ve been adding a session of ascension chamber at the end of every week and so far its given more clarity . At first when i was running Emperor i kept thinking maybe i should have stuck to khan then but after a couple weeks of running and reading the objectives of emperor i realized that it was better fit for me for the time being . Now since starting emperor i’ve gotten the urge to run stage 3 of emperor fitness (which had immediate effects which was very interesting ) but i was going to finish this cycle and see how i feel.

Emotionally i feel kind of strange there has been an internal shift in regards to how i view myself and its very strange to observe . Im still attracted to women but for someone reason i do not care about them as much and there is this level of disinterest i have never really felt before . Mentally i feel way sharper than i have in a long time .I desire more from my life and i have so much potential to give myself the world .

Boxing mastery is really good since its removing the telegraph from my hard punches and im figuring out which combos work well for me and im always shadow boxing like literally when ever i am alone . ive noticed that my arms are way less chubby and my legs are more defined . I feel like the only thing im missing is my conditioning .

Now here us the shitty part I kind of realized that I was way more productive and happier on Khan stage 4 . My planning was also alot better and I generally felt way more powerful . I honestly think the thoughts of switching to emperor mainly came from recon and realizing that needed to be more fearless in the pursuit of my goals . Shoutout to @Invictus because when I was reading through my previous journals and comparing it to my emperor one it became very apparent that khan suited me alot better . There was this underlying feeling of being unstoppable with khan that isn’t there on emperor .

I’m likely going back to Khan after this cycle but im going to stick to the two titles for about 6 months before I add a third.

Pt 2 of previous entry

Small note for any readers is that in my offline journal I refer to cycles in the same way a powerlifter would in the context of programming a macro cycle leading up to competition . So in this case a cycle for me is about 6 months (still follwoing the listening instructions).

That being said with khan being more my strong side emperor is more in line with my weaknesses . Emperor forces me to be very orderly , structured and detail oriented which was always not been my strong suit . I think its effects are bleeding into boxing mastery because all of a sudden I’ve been purely looking at technical boxers who have very ‘boring’ but detailed styles . Guys who didn’t do all the crazy head movement but moved with precision .

If I want to get the most out of Khan in the fture I have to build on my weaknesses until they become fuel for my strengths .

End of the first 21 days and i’m currently on my second day of my 5 day washout . My current stack is with emperor and boxing mastery with a loop of ascension chamber at the end of every week .

This has been a strange 3 weeks for me . The recon i have dealt with during this stack has been something fierce . In a previous journal entry i deemed recon as the resistance of my lower self ( a term i stole from a self improvement youtuber ) that realises that it is about die . I slipped back into some old bad habits but it did not bring me any shame or depression just a weird sense of apathy that this does not stop me from doing what i need to do . The recon was so bad that ive wanted to change stacks like every third day and almost stopped this stack half way through . Another thing i noticed was a boatload of anger which sprung up at random things at work …

Behavioural changes

As mentioned before I have adhd and it leads to some less than pleasant habits that i have been desperately trying to break over the course of my life but with emperor a lot they just become dulled and way more manageable.

My thoughts only really revolve around boxing and making money with sex sometimes popping up.

I question every single one of my insecurities or intrusive thoughts sometimes very critically

I became really fascinated by Nietzsche his philosophies and i also became fascinated by carl jung again . In the past i have had prophetic dreams about things that happen and when is started to use subliminals they became very helpful in a way giving me glimpses of things . Carl jung always believed that subconscious was supernatural in nature .

Confidence in my abilities has been slowly increasing

That reframing aspect of emperor is amazing because its installing this cockiness in me that was never there before in a genuine sense .

This was a strange one but during a nasty bit of recon I actually went to a prayer room at my workplace and got one my knees and cried and prayed . now this is a pretty big thing for me because even though i was raised christian i always unsure if it was the truth because of all other religions and how christianity was introduced to West Africans .

Now for boxing mastery some of these results are crazy because i didn’t notice them until class yesterday where i was so relaxed in the ring and didn’t fatigue at all . some of the drills we were doing involved throwing as many combinations as possible for a short period of time and i did not even feel a burn . im definitely keeping this in my stack for the next 2 years .

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast

havent updated this journal in awhile but something that happened was gnarly degree of recon when i decided to added a 3rd title to my stack and all of sudden i was going crazy trying to do things perfectly and get the best stack so i can get all my issues solved in 3 days but i have come to understand that looking at things from that viewpoint is weakness .

i mentioned in an earlier entry that whilst listening to emperor i began a growing fascination with Nietzsche and the idea of what true internal power is . And the conclusion i reached was that power is not something that is given to you at birth but something that you create and forge with the decisions you make. I dont like my current reality where i am struggling in every important metric of life but it is my decision to choose the most comfortable solution in almost every situation has led to the life i live now .

The results from my first cycle were actually pretty good

  • The combination of emperor and boxing mastery led to a pretty good change in my body composition in a matter of weeks when i have been struggling to get back in shape for past 3 years

  • I randomly know the answer to things without consciously thinking about it

  • Began seeing youtube videos that have pretty useful productivity strategies

  • sticking to daily routine has gotten better and i have began to adopt a mental model that takes advantage of hyperactive imagination.

Just finished my second cycle with emperor and emperor fitness . Now that i have close to 2 months on emperor i can see that buying this sub was just what i needed . After finishing this current cycle i thought i had been running this title for like six months because of the sheer amount internal changes and clarity i gained . Now the negative thing i noticed was that near the end of my stack i got hit some really intense recon where i just became super depressed , lonely and awkward but after a boatload of calories i felt better . It did draw my attention to how my sub usage doesn’t really fit my goals directly and i keep trying to do several things at once without making alot of progress on either . For emperor fitness stage four i was able to actually improve my boxing and body composition in a pretty drastic way in like 3 weeks . I even got better at boxing in the orthodox stance without alot of progress which was strange .

after my washout i will be going paragon to fully rehab an old injury for the next 2 months .

Something weird has been happening when i started listening to emperor and its been a return to Christianity
