Thanks @LastTry for the question.

That really is a great tip. I will swap out Emperor after my current cycle and plug Ascended Mogul in. I feel very displaced currently at my current job, but are not ready to jump ship to self-employment or entrepreneurship. I read the description of the title, and it resonated well with me. Status and Wealth combined but in a less rebellious way than Emperor. I will give it a try together with Limitless and Spartan Apex Warrior.

Another update regarding my journey on Spartan Apex Warrior. I’m now in the middle of my second cycle with this title and I recognize huge improvements. Over the past two weeks, I have observed an increase in my running speed. I ran 10 seconds faster per kilometer than the week before, and the week before I was 7 seconds faster than all the weeks and probably months before. And that without changing my training schedule. My lifting and Kettlebell-Workout has also improved. I also had an urge to give more focus on my abdominal muscles. Now they are long and strong, but I prefer to have them more bulky.
The overall feeling of this sub is that I have more muscle strength and can push them harder. I also recognized that I pedal harder when I’m cycling and give more power to the pedals than before. This sub is gold for me. I feel more “berserk” on it, more raw and powerfull

Another observation on Spartan Apex Warrior: I’m able to maintain an ideal sitting position (like in the image below) for a long time. I could never hold that position for that long before running this title. A nice and unexpected, but most welcome, side effect

Washout

After washout I will swap out Emperor, which I’m running since Nov. 23, with Ascended Mogul. Since I’m still in a employed position, it will hopefully help me currently more than Emperor. I hope to be more grounded and less “nerved out” but still maintaining status and a wealth mindset.

[TheRock]

Washout ends tomorrow. This time the washout was easier than the last times. I experienced less existenial crisies. Everything went smooth. I will still stick to my plan and swap out Emperor for Ascended Mogul for at least the next 3 cycles.
My new stack will be: Ascended Mogul + Limitless + Spartan Apex Warrior

[TheRock]

Stack:

• Spartan Apex Warrior
• Ascended Mogul (replacement of Emperor)
• Limitless

@TheRock

My new stack will be: Ascended Mogul + Limitless + Spartan Apex Warrior

A very fast acting stack due to less dense scripts. All the best!

Some updates: I’ve gotten a bit more flexible lately. Can’t be from my training routine since I haven’t changed much, but I’ve noticed more flexibility in my legs. There’s also a small vein starting to show in my left biceps. So two of my goals are progressing nicely. Also, sitting in a good posture position is rather simple (even for long periods of time).

Ascendes Mogul manifestations are showing up in how I finally did two things this weekend that I’ve wanted to do for a long time but kept putting off because of weird internal dialogs. First, I went on a beautiful trail run yesterday through a small canyon nearby. My dog absolutely loved it! Then today, instead of just walking my dog, I took him out with my bicycle for the first time. He was initially a bit nervous about the bike, but he did amazingly well! What’s significant about these activities isn’t the actions themselves (they seem minor to outsiders), but the fact that I simply went ahead and did them. I pushed myself out of my comfort zone. The other thing about it is how I communicated them to my spouse: I did it in a clear and confident manner in an positively assertive way and faced no rejection.

Limitless is manifesting in a healing way. I haven’t noticed improvements in my cognitive abilities specifically, but rather in how I reflect on my own thoughts and behaviors. I’m refelect more deeply about what I do, say, and think, which gives me better insights and makes changes easier to implement.

Yesterday Spartan Apex Warrior kicken in and I got motivated to do Obi Vincents extreme Kettlebell follow along workout (after my regular workout). Completed it with a 16kg Kettlebell

Ascended Mogul makes me feel more confident and grounded. Feel more secure in myself.

Since running Limitless, starting in January '25, I gradually reduced my AI use, especially for programming tasks. I don’t feel more “intelligent” or “better” at coding, but I grew frustrated by the sometimes messy and outdated code it provided, and I realized I understand an application better when I develop my own solution. I had to turn off the Copilot autocompletion in Visual Studio Code, too, because I wanted to use my brain and improve my own skills. And it’s not that I’m a lot slower. For brainstorming or help to find the cause of errors, I still use it. Through Limitless, I’ve gained more confidence in my skills. The same goes for writing—I reduced my AI use as I gained more trust in myself. For editing and refining, it remains practical to me.

Washout

[TheRock]

Limitless, Spartan Apex Warrior and Ascended Mogul is a massive healing stack. I didn’t expect that. It reveals deep-rooted patterns and points the finger where it hurts. I had some very profound revealings on it and are still working through some old and ill-serving patterns. Not quite where I want to be, but the way becomes clearer and clearer.

[TheRock]

Today would have been the last day of washout. But recognizing that a lot of processing is still going on, I prolong it for some days.

Goals: Interim Review

• Grow my beard longer (to a viking beard)
  Happy how it is now!
• Grow my muscles (from okay to wow!)
  Underway. Effort pays off. Some T-shirts are tight around the upper arm. Gained 2kg.
• Get some popping veins
  One new vein is slightly visible
• Become more flexible
  Higher magnesium intake shows some effect, but have to do more flexibility exercises.
• Increase my income by 10% by starting my side business seriously
  This weekend sent some invoices for my side business, amounting to approximately 8 to 10% of my annual day-job income
• Full commitment at my current job (make everything shine and ready to let go)
  Full fail. Need to work through some serious mental blocks here!
• Understand and speak Italian
  Learn every day. But commitment is not very high. Are a little pissed because the effort does not show so far (thought I see some tiny bits of improvements).

[Parsifal]

What method are you using for learning Italian?
