In the ancient times, there existed a Spartan warrior named Zenthos. His reputation on the battlefield was unmatched; his sword danced with deadly precision, and his shield deflected arrows like a force of nature. Yet, amidst the chaos of war, Zenthos felt an inner turmoil—a void that neither victory nor glory could fill.
One fateful day, after a particularly fierce battle, he wandered into the mystical lands of the East. There, he encountered Zen monks who lived in harmony with the universe. They introduced him to meditation, inner peace, and the delicate balance between strength and serenity.
Zenthos spent years with the monks, learning to harmonize his warrior spirit with inner tranquility. He became a Spartan Zen Warrior—fierce yet calm, powerful yet gentle. His new-found balance made him invincible in battle. He fought not out of anger or pride but from a place of centeredness.
Then, darkness fell upon Sparta. An invincible enemy threatened his homeland. Zenthos returned as the Zen Warrior. His movements were like a dance—each strike a brushstroke of power and peace. The enemy, bewildered by his strength rooted in calmness, retreated.
Zenthos had not only saved Sparta but also introduced this powerful harmony of Zen and warrior spirit to his people—changing the course of history forever. Legends whispered of the Spartan who meditated at dawn and fought at dusk—a living embodiment of balance, a Spartan Zen Warrior.
Nearly two years in, I’ve decided to run my first custom. A custom that embodies the harmonious relationship between the calm, serene mind of a Zen monk and the fierce, indomitable spirit of a Spartan warrior.

Why this Custom
I’m not happy. It pains me to say that. My mind won’t shut the fuck up. So much negativity. It’s like I can never relax unless I’m alone. It seems as if I’m in constant fight or flight mode majority of the time. This has prevented me from progressing in life.
a void that neither victory nor glory could fill.
I actually created two customs before this one that I bought and paid for only to realized too late that I made a mistake. The situation that happened with Jon Anthony confirmed that I made the right decision.
overwhelming lust, self-pitying victim-hood
Simply take a look at the modern shell that man has become. A twitching, anxious, overthinking, unclean parody of a human being that is unable to connect with anything other than their own inner demons and incapable of following any true wisdom or their inner voice, needing to be led by those who barely see further than them.

Pre-sults
- I hired an online PT and started working out 3 days a week in January. I haven’t missed a workout yet. I still went even when I didn’t feel like it. My weight started out at 128. I am currently x. (Spartan, Anvil of Hep)
- During meditation, sometimes I would feel my body completely relax for a few seconds before tensing up again (Sanguine, Stonelike, Harmonic Singularity)
- I’ve been considering taking my first solo trip out of the country after I finished the cybersecurity bootcamp. I’ve been thinking about it obsessively to the point where I’m doing research on flights, Airbnbs, country customs, etc. (Solitude, Sanguine, Furious Ascent)
- I haven’t played with the pipe since January. I’m currently practicing sexual discipline and women that have never talked to me before are starting to talk to me out of the blue. I’m catching a lot of women staring. I believe they can sense the sexual energy developing within me. (Inner Gasoline)
- I’m easily eating a lot more. I believe I’ve found the perfect bulking meal plan to use as a base. This meal plan doesn’t require too much cooking, the meals are easy to make, and it’s 3k calories. I’m also taking supplements like boron, magnesium, b-complex, and tongkat ali. (Anvil of Hep, Health Codex, Informaticon)
- I bought a Let’sGetChecked Male Hormone Test and I plan to buy another 6 months from now.(Health Codex)
- I catch myself shadow boxing sometimes when I’m bored (Spartan)
- Two Thursdays ago, I sat with my hands on my head and my forehead on my work desk. My ego was spiraling out of control, possibly leading to a mental breakdown. My ego fed me all sorts of bullshit like ‘this class is too hard, why me, I hate my life, why can’t I just be normal, blah blah blah’. All of sudden, I told my ego “Shut the fuck up. I’m not doing this anymore” and then I my head became clear for a split-second. It felt like standing up to the school bully. Now, from that day on, whenever my ego starts to spiral out of control, I naturally challenge it (Formless Clarity, Sanguine)
- I’ve been effortlessly taking 5 min cold showers for the past 2 weeks(Spartan)
- I finally pulled the trigger on buying a course on ‘manhood and women’ I’ve kept on a wishlist for about a year and half to two years. Something urged me to get it now instead of waiting until I run seduction subs. I’ve been listening to it consistently as it’s been extremely eye opening and informative. In the course, the instructor gives his definition of what a “real man” should be. Paraphrasing in my own words, he says, “A real man is a man who is in control of his emotions(Sanguine) and who is able to endure long periods of pain and problems without bitchin’ and complaining(Spartan).”
I plan to run this for six months.
