Introduction

Hey guys, and maybe girls?, it’s Jon from Iron Resilience here, and I have to piss off some people some more to bring them back to reality. You see a lot of people think they got it all figured out, but they really don’t. Fortunately, if you’re young, but not dumb, I can save you some pain in the future. Here is a list of some redpills I wish I learned earlier in life. So here I am, the older brother you never had, to teach you some secrets that are not only obvious, but basically axiomatic.

Fitness Redpills

1. You cannot out train, out roid, out supplement, or basically see the same level of results you will from a bad diet vs a good, and healthy balanced diet. That means no saturated fat, no refined sugars, and natural sugars in moderation. No binge eating. Fuel your body the right way, and the gains will follow.
2. Real winners in fitness have patience, discipline, and only compare themselves to their past self. They are visualizing, and thinking positively about the future long term results. But more importantly they are working towards them. See consistent habits get results even when you only have 10-15 minutes. That goes for everything. A 25 minute workout isn’t as good as a 45 minute one, but it’s better than no workout. I don’t care about your excuses, or feelings: if you’re lazy or entitled you don’t deserve to succeed.
3. Stick to the boring, but tried, proven, and tested methods. Compound lifts, calorie and macro tracking, and just focus on mastering the basics. Form, progressive overload, calorie deficit to lose weight and surplus to gain it. Everything else will fall into place.
4. Less talking, more doing. Social media is flooded with people who just want attention, not solutions…
5. Keep putting in work, respect others who put in the same amount of work, or more work, don’t judge newbies, and don’t focus on what others are doing or look like. Ignore the naysayers, the haters, the fatbrahs, stupid people, and pretty much every fitness influencer (except me).

Financial Redpills

1. Never let anyone know how much you make, how much you spend, and how much you have saved. Success breeds envy. And anybody with a lot of money will be liberated from said money by anyone without money who is a parasite. People who don’t have any money to pay you back with, and break their promise to pay you back, are broke for a reason, and therefore bum for a reason. They need someone with money to spare to leech off. Therefore, from now on you’re broke — whether you are or not is irrelevant: if you are broke then you can’t afford to send people money for nothing, and if you aren’t broke you soon will be if you give money out like a charity.
2. Bringing us to the second redpill: never give, or lend money to friends, strangers, or anyone outside of your immediate blood family. Unless you are okay with the possibility of taking a financial L and never being paid back. Cause c’mon we are friends right? Do me a favor….and then you’re in the boat they are in: broke. Except they are smart enough to not lend money…you weren’t.
3. Stop wasting your time because time equals money. Learn skills, start a website, and treat your time as money. If you don’t work, then you don’t get paid. Simple as. That goes for even wageslavery. If you work a 40 hour job, then dedicate an additional 15-20 hours to becoming self employed, or financially stable. And if you can’t do either of these then study, or practice a skill or talent you can monetize. If you have no job, no talents, no hobbies, and no way at all to make money, then the first step is to become someone hirable, skilled, and with experience in life and with work. In short, use your free time to create different income streams, side gigs, freelancing, networking, practicing a skill, or learning more about it. Time is valuable, and time cannot be bought back.
4. Don’t wait for opportunities, create them. You don’t need anyone’s permission to start an online business. If you haven’t started one yet then you’re behind.
5. Real wealth comes from steady work and long-term vision. Your hustle is what builds the empire, not one lucky opportunity.

Dating Redpills

1. No woman wants a broke, lazy, needy, insecure, and friendless man. Get your life together before worrying about women. You don’t need to be rich, you don’t need to be handsome, and you don’t need to even be tall. You do need to get your shit together, be well grounded, and stable mentally.
2. Women want a man with options, and to have options you need to be in the top 20%. Again if you aren’t there yet, then don’t even think about dating, or hook ups. Use it as fuel to level up, because you can either cry about it or get stronger.
3. Women respect strength, self-control, and your ability to lead.
4. Say less than necessary.
5. When she walks away from you, let her go, ghost her, forget her, and move on. Lesson learned. No hard feelings necessary. It’s just part of the game. Get used to rejection in general.

Lifestyle Redpills

1. No one cares about your sob story. Everyone’s got one. I got one. You got one. We all got one. It’s fine to have one, until it becomes your self identity. And your entire life is based around being a victim, tragedies, what ought to be but isn’t, and so forth. Life’s not fair, but that doesn’t mean you’re entitled to anything cause you had it rough. Trust me, people could give a shit about it. I was that guy.
2. Never make impulsive decisions made on emotion, or without all the facts. Learn to rely on a mixture of instincts, intuition, a feel for the vibe itself, and take whatever amount of time you can to make a decision. Any decision you make should primarily benefit you, from a rational standpoint of ethical selfishness, and that allocates for a controlled amount of healthy risk. Although sometimes you have think faster than you should, and you have to make some pretty permanent unfavorable decisions either way. In either case always be flexible, but firm.
3. Motivation is bullshit. Discipline, resilience, relentlessness, and habits that have become second nature takes precedence. Motivation comes and goes. Discipline shows up rain or shine.
4. Most people are just biding their time, avoiding discomfort, and looking for easy ways out. Outwork them and leave them behind.
5. If you want to succeed, you’ll have to fight tooth and nail for it, and no one will applaud you for doing it. The world rewards results, not struggles. A warrior’s deadliest weapon is his, or her mind.

In Sum

Stop looking for validation and start building your empire. The universe is vast, cold, and indifferent to your existence. You are entitled to jack, and shit in life — and jack just left town. With these tips kept in mind, maybe it’ll give you that extra boost you need to figure out the rest for yourself, and that’s something learned from the struggle itself. Unwilling to struggle? Unwilling to grow and learn.
