Subj: Calling All New World Conquistadors…
—

Today is Columbus day. Many people in our modern world seem to have a problem with Christopher Columbus.

In an earnest effort to not offend anyone, I have taken the liberty of renaming Columbus Day to Conquistador Day.

(A conquistador is a person who is out to conquer new territory.)

Today is now Conquistador Day and this is the 333rd published B&D; article.

In honor of the 333rd article, let's have ourselves an EXTRAVAGANZA!

To all the New World Conquistadors I say: OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

Juice fast

I recently completed a 5 day juice fast. Hippies believe that a juice fast will cleanse you, so I wanted to test it out for myself. For 5 days I ate no food, I drank only distilled water, fresh fruit juice, and fresh vegetable juice. This was completed very recently and these are my very first thoughts:

The good:

  • I felt lighter
  • I felt healthier
  • My joints felt better
  • I felt cleaner
  • My dreams were incredibly positive and vivid, I could remember them in complete detail after waking up

The bad:

  • My testosterone levels were significantly lowered
  • My hair felt less healthy, less vibrant, and more brittle
  • I was quite unhappy and “depersonalized”
  • I thought only of food for 5 days even though I was not actually hungry
  • I could not focus on work at all, I only thought of food
  • Energy was low, my normally brutal workouts were cut short

What I learned:

You will not die from not eating for several days. Physically you will be fine. Your mind will become clearer, you will feel cleaner, you will feel calmer, and paradoxically you will feel miserable.

Fruits and vegetables are low energy foods. Be prepared to have less energy than normal if you do a juice fast. (Remember, a juice fast should only be temporary.)

You NEED fat in your diet to remain healthy and vital. On the 4th day I drank 1.5 tablespoons of coconut oil and it made a noticeable impact on my testosterone levels.

Hunger teaches you both appreciation and patience. I now appreciate food on a level I never have before. I don't crave extravagant foods, I crave simple foods like rice, sweet potatoes, butter and bananas. There's a reason they say ‘stay hungry'.

Proper digestion is of the utmost importance. It is important to thoroughly chew your food into a fine paste before you swallow it. Your first part of digestion is via the saliva. It is important to not drink any liquids when you are eating food because liquid dilutes your saliva.

Fasting is important for curing ailments. I cured my lifelong allergies in 2011 from intermittent fasting, never to return. The world's most popular healer, Jesus, was big on fasting. It absolutely works and I will continue some sort of fasting forever. Though it can have some negatives, fasting certainly has health benefits and does quite literally cleanse you.

For a good resource on fasting, check out Paul Bragg's The Miracle of Fasting (you can read the PDF for free right here).

Distilled water

One of the best things I did for my health was to start drinking only distilled water. Years ago I upped my water intake which was a big mistake. I started having many problems like aching joints, water retention (fat face) and many more. I bought into the lie that you have to drink extra water to be healthy. Let me tell you that you do not have to drink extra water. You need only drink the water required for you. Nature has a built in mechanism for this called THIRST. Drink when you are thirsty and that is it. Be sure to drink extra if you exercise vigorously as you will need more water to replace what you have sweat out.

I drink only distilled water because distilled water is the only pure water available. All other water like tap water and bottled water is loaded with chemicals like fluoride and chlorine and inorganic minerals have been added to the water. These inorganic minerals in regular drinking water cannot be assimilated by your body so they reside in your joints. The only way to wash them out is to drink distilled water.

Do not listen to the nonsense “advice” that distilled water will kill you. I believe the opposite is true, regular water will kill you. Every single healthy person, and I mean actually healthy, as in fresh spirit, looking young, energetic, and those lived well into old age- these people recommend drinking only distilled water. Sick looking people recommend tap water, bottled water, and mineral water.

Squat with a board under your heels

When you squat at the gym with a barbell on your back, place a 2-4 inch board under your heels so that your feet are slightly raised. This changes the angle of the workout and it works nearly all of your legs in a way that flat-footed squats cannot. I neglected board squats for 10 years - big mistake! Squatting with a 2-4 inch board under your heels works your quads fully, it works your hamstrings more, and your calves even get a good workout. Board squats are Pride approved and recommended.

The cure for pain is in the pain

I was able to break through all insecurities and demons simply by making life harder. When I want to quit my workout, I continue. When I don't want to walk up the stairs, I run up and down the stairs 35 times. When things become hard, I embrace it. When things become easy, I make them hard.

Bad Guy Fan Mail

“I could spend some words talking about myself and my past, but none of it really matters. What matters is what I am going to do from now on.

I have a mission. That mission came to me in a vision. I stayed up until 4 in the morning having that vision. That vision was enabled by the light you shined through your blog. So I wanted to thank you, Victor, for inspiring people.

Truth be told, I am afraid. I am afraid of failure, of change, of so many things. But I have eyes only for success, and I will face those fears in order to achieve what I want.

That is all. Thank you, Victor.“

Purple protein shake recipe

Here's how to make the Purple Protein Shake…

Using a blender, mix together:

  • 2 scoops of Chocolate Ice Cream Protein powder
  • 250 ml (8 oz) of coconut water
  • 180 ml (6 oz) of iced coffee
  • 1 cold, ripe, banana
  • 50 g (1/4 cup) of frozen strawberries
  • 50 g (1/4 cup) of frozen blueberries
  • 200 g (1 cup) of ice

Blend and enjoy.

This is the perfect morning post-fasted cardio shake, or post-workout shake. The fast digesting carbs from the fruit will spike your insulin levels and expedite and maximize the delivery of the whey protein directly to the muscle cells to begin the protein synthesis process (muscle building).

Bad Guy Fan Mail from Bob

“I love this book. A strong summary of everything Victor says but very concise and put together in a great go to book. Get this book and get ALL of his volumes!! I don’t care if Victor sells 20 volumes. I am getting them ALL! Why so enthusiastic? Because in your heart you know his words of wisdom reflect reality on every level. Even the multi billionaires you see giving advice on TV do not speak to the heart of the common individual like Victor does. When was the last time you heard a super rich person tell you how to truly escape the 9 to 5 jive? Like never maybe? I love this dude and I can promise you I don’t run around life saying how much I love this or that dude!! The man speaks to the heart of freedom and happiness and everyone knows it!”

Thanks for the kind words, Bob. Speaking of my books…

The secret meaning of life and the deeper secret within the secret

The purpose of life is to return to the source. To return to a natural life. One of my big goals is to live simply (but well) on a farm in the mountains. (Not to live there at all times of course, but at certain times of the year.) Apartments and condos are luxury jail cells, you need long periods in nature. Marcus Aurelius said “Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.” Personally, I'm addicted to the numbers not to the money. What the money actually buys means nothing to me as I buy almost nothing. Seeing the numbers go up is a beautiful thing, buying stuff never fulfills what it promises.

A short list of my favorite books

I find that nearly all of my favorite books were written 100 or more years ago. Actually, many of my favorites were written many thousands of years ago by ancient Chinese authors like Lao Tzu and Sun Tzu. I find current authors are too compulsively afraid of seeming “offensive” and therefor they self-limit their own art. For this reason I cannot stand to read a vast majority of modern books.

Books that have stuck around for thousands of years did so for a reason and I find I enjoy reading them and have more in common with them than most of the gutless writing one finds today. You cannot write well if you write out of fear of judgement, and author's today seem to fear judgement more than they desire creating great works that stand the test of time. There are obviously still good books being released, but of all of the books I have read in the past few years, my favorites are very, very old. Rather than tell you a few of my favorite books, I will tell you a few authors you can research (WARNING! these authors will lead you down a very deep rabbit hole)…

Bad Guy Fan Mail: New World Ronin in Amsterdam Edition

“I bought your book New World Ronin when it first came out. This book has been the biggest influence on my life, period. I have read many books before your book. Your book resonated on a very deep level within me. It has changed my own mindset for the better and it showed me the way of always moving forward. Together with Scott Adam's book “How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big” they should be mandatory reads on schools.

You still have to put in the work yourself, yes. The book does not hold your hand. But it's the closest thing to describe the sensation of being in motion and momentum. There is no other book that describes it that perfectly. When people talk about being in motion or having momentum it's often described as something random. Your book shows people the way to attain momentum and to get further in life, no matter what situation you are in.

I wrote this down a while ago and it's obviously hardcore influenced by you:

How can you distinguish yourself from a dead person?

You move.

Dead people do not move. The only reason for you to be alive is to keep moving in the direction you want to move. Giving up means standing still. Which is what dead people do because they can't move.

I have to admit I do not read a lot of blogs anymore and I don't frequent social media because they were a barrier in my life.

That's why I write this e-mail to show some appreciation for the work you have done, especially with your book.

Greetings from Amsterdam“

How to achieve perfect male posture

These posture photos and text are from J.H. Kellogg's very interesting book The Living Temple (you can read the PDF for free here). Kellogg was a physician famous for developing Kellogg's Corn Flakes as an “anti-masturbation” food. Well, that's what people who have never read his book say. Many people have dismissed Dr. Kellogg as an old fuddy-duddy, vegetarian, killjoy who wanted no one to have a good time. I find those people to have entirely missed the point, as his book was quite excellent and thorough. The largest portion of Dr. Kellogg's book is in relation to human digestion and was a very valuable resource for that and for many other things. Here are Dr. Kellogg's views on achieving perfect posture:

The Power of the Publishing Business

The blog publishing business is immensely powerful when it comes to what matters - sales. Specifically, book sales. There is no better way on earth to sell a book than to have a blog. Blogs are the most hidden and unknown source of revenue on the planet and it apparently takes a genius to see what is right in front of your eyes. Ask yourself this question, every time you google something, where do you end up? You end up at a blog.

How many times do you google per day? How many people on earth google every day? All of those people who google every little thing end up at blogs looking for the answer. Every time you google, your answer is found in a blog. People still do not see the power of the blog. Woe to them, great for you because you can start a blog right now for free with Badnet, you also get 4 ebooks that I have not released anywhere else. You get them for free and they show you how to make money online from your blog. If you still don't believe there is power in the blog, well, just google it.

Work like a dog, howl like a wolf

Bad Guy Fan Mail: Inability to accept responsibility edition

You will notice that every piece of hate mail has 2 components:

  1. An inability to accept responsibility for their own life. Everything is always someone else's fault or some “medical condition” and
  2. A huge amount of typos. There are always numerous typos in these comments because these people are always drunk on alcohol or high on drugs when they leave these “poor me” comments. This is one reason you never want to use alcohol or narcotics, you don't want to be a “morom” like this commenter

Start a side business using 333 philosophy

Everybody has the same amount of time in a day so when someone says “I don't have enough time to do what I pretend I want to do ” what I actually hear is “I'm a weakling loser”. Everyone has 24 hours in a day. Here's what you do: divide your day into 3 parts. Spend 8 hours working your normal job, 8 hours sleeping, 8 hours playing. Starting a new business is play, it's fun. It is not hard in the slightest, starting a new business is the fun part and everyone can do it if they want to do it.

Jack LaLanne

Every gym-rat, fitness enthusiast, bodybuilder, and B&Der; needs to know Jack LaLanne, the godfather of getting “Jacked”. Jack LaLanne was a fitness nut before it was cool. In his old age he did things teenagers couldn't do. He did things like tow 70 boats with 70 people for one mile while handcuffed on his 70th birthday. Jack LaLanne is the man who taught me the most valuable lesson I ever learned: YOUR BODY IS THE SLAVE OF YOUR MIND.

The following quote is from a Jack LaLanne interview in a 1984 edition of Playboy magazine (you can read the full interview here):

“I believe in vigorous, violent, daily, systematic exercise to the point of muscle failure. I'm usually up each day at 3:30 A.M. I hit the gym at four A.M. I'm out at 6:30 A.M. I do it seven days a week and have ever since I can remember. Sometimes I hit the gym without having gotten any sleep, like when I've done a lecture or a seminar. My top priority in life is my workout. Regardless of what happens, I hit that gym. Even when I was in the hospital twice with serious knee operations: Right after I came out of anesthesia, there was a chin bar over my head and dumbbells. I worked out immediately.

It's very easy to rationalize, however, and say, “What the hell. I didn't get enough sleep” or “I'm too busy” or “I've got this little ache or pain.” That's all bullcrap. You do it. It's tough. It's hard. I'd rather take a beating sometimes than get in that gym every morning. Anyone who gets up that early and says he likes it is a goddamned liar. The only good thing about it is that when I'm finished, I look at myself in the mirror and say, “Jack, you've done it again!” I've won another battle over myself, and that's what it's all about: conquering me. If I didn't do it, I'd be lying to myself. If I lie to me, I lie to you and wreck everything that Jack La Lanne stands for. If I'm not an example of my philosophy, it sure isn't going to turn anyone else on. That's why Jesus made such a big impact. He practiced what he preached. He also did miracles to call attention to his philosophies. That's why I do incredible things on my birthdays.” -Jack LaLanne

JDB Physique Transformation contest

If you want to change your life, you HAVE to change your body first. The body is the mind and vice versa. With a weak body you will always have a weak mind. With a strong body you will possess a strong mind. Change your physique, change your life.

Changing your physique is easy, simply sign up for the JDB Fall Physique Transformation Contest and do everything JDB says to do. Do that and you can expect results like these fellows pictured below who did JDB's Operation Shredded Contest and got shredded as a result.

Becoming the devil to get out of hell

If it “sounds hard” to change your body, watch this interview with ultra-marathoner David Goggins. Goggins was a 300lb fat guy who decided not to be a loser anymore. He went into the military, joined the Navy SEALs, and in a bid to raise money for the families of fallen SEALs, became an ultra-marathoner… with no training! After you watch this interview, you will never be the same (which is a good thing). David Goggins is big on going through pain to get through to the other side. He calls it, “becoming the devil to get out of hell.” Or as I call it… awakening to reality.

That's all for the 333rd, boys.

Until next time.

Your man,

-Victor Pride

  5. Vic, what you just said about becoming the devil to get out of hell…

    … I was too ashamed to tell that to myself!

    Paradoxically, it DOES kick sense into a world of straightforwardness to my ass.

    I thought you were mad by saying that you’d rather live in hell than live a slow life( 2 thoughts; I got the slow life, I just never came to sense with living in hell)…

    Until 35 ways of becoming a God felt like hell itself, and still could be beyond it since hell justifies itself below heaven. Making it nearly the survival of the fittest in the top 1%…

    However, I wouldn’t dare to had thought that I hate to say it, but I have the strangest relationship with your writing. They are written to heal for the person I could be in the nearby future, and they are written to kill for the person I became in the very recent past.

  6. Happy Conquistador Day!

    I started telling people that. People aren’t sure whether to laugh, cheer or be offended (not that I care.)

    When you said you like to go away into nature it reminded me of how Musashi retired to live simply in the mountains. Any Daimyo would have paid him extravantly to be their retainer, but he chose nature instead.

    Tons of great stuff in this post.

    Thanks for putting it all together.

  13. Good afternoon Victor,

    Just found your blog. Your writing is special. You use the same words as everyone else but they hit hard, perhaps harder than anyone else I’ve seen, including best-selling authors. You have a real gift for stitching words.

    Your point about nature makes me think deeply. It brings up a question. I have been fortunate and cursed to intern for some of the most successful authors on the planet (millions of copies sold, NYT bestsellers, etc). I wish for the same type of success and work hard everyday but feel as if a tremendous sword is hanging over my head, ready to fall if I do not achieve what I have set out to.

    In short, how do we deal with jealousy and self-doubt? Does having the maturity to understand what life is really about dissolve jealousy?

    I met a few monks living on mountaintops who laughed when they heard my question about jealousy, status, and competition.

    I have a long way to go, I suppose.

    Best Wishes,
    Jay

    • The monks are correct to laugh. Do your work without regard to consequence. Have no need for success and success will be a by-product.

  16. Great post! From start to finish!!

    My brother and I were just talking about what a bunch of overly sensitive pussies the Western world is becoming with the whole rename Columbus day, rename the Washington Redskins, how everyone is a racist, sexist, homophobe.. Fill in the blank. I’m glad to see you’re not one of these pussies. It’s a tired narrative that we constantly hear the media beat the drum to. Makes you wonder who it’s even serving… ’cause no one I hang out with is down with it. But then again I don’t hang out with losers. So I guess that settles that one.

    Board squats.. Never tried em. But it seems like Olympic lifting shoes kinda do the same thing?? I’ll give the board squats a go. My knees started acting up over the last few years and I’ve had to switch it up to leg press but I’ve definitely been missing squats. That used to be my bread and butter!

    https://youtu.be/APZCfmgzoS0

    Watched that video last night and it is exactly on point with what you’re saying about juicing diets. Check it out.

    You had a couple more good points that I’m forgetting… Yeah, that “depressed” guy is just a sissy “victim” crybaby. Playing the victim is by far the most self limiting role you can play. Failure right out the gate. Shoot.. They don’t even make it out the gate!! It’s the mentality of a pathetic loser.

    I am interested Victor in your views on politics. The youth have been brainwashed to support socialism, the most dismal dangerous philosophy in history, based on the idea that if all the poor can unite they can control and destroy the rich and the innovators. Then everyone can be poor and stupid and conformist like in Soviet Russia! Equality is a sick lie. Don’t laugh, it is happening.

    • Politics is farcical, it is theater to distract you from reality- watch what this hand is doing so you don’t see what the other hand is doing.

      “The youth have been brainwashed to support socialism, the most dismal dangerous philosophy in history, based on the idea that if all the poor can unite they can control and destroy the rich and the innovators. Then everyone can be poor and stupid and conformist like in Soviet Russia! Equality is a sick lie. Don’t laugh, it is happening.”

      Politicians do not manufacture belief, they simply take advantage of what societies do naturally. Politics and news (same thing) serve to enhance and distract while they do their real work. They create absolutely nothing and that includes belief. YOU CANNOT BE BRAINWASHED TO BELIEVE SOMETHING YOU DON’T WANT TO BELIEVE. What is happening is human nature and you can look at every civilization in history for proof.

  19. I’ve lost 20kg from Juice Fasting. Best way to lose weight. PERIOD! I felt a different way after my 3rd fast than you did. I felt like I had more energy and was able to lift more at the gym on day 4-7. Your body is detoxifying during the first 3 days so you’ll feel like shit during those first days. The thing about fasting is that it gets you into ketosis faster than if you were eating. Even the juice fasting does this for you because you get rid of all of the insoluble fiber and your body just processes it as a liquid rather than food. Pure energy and nutrients.

  20. I’ve completely ditched barbell squats for hindu squats while holding dumbbells in each hand. It’s similar to your board squat which is highly effective. With just 24-45 lb dumbbells my quads have blown up. Another good one is sumo squats with dumbbells. It’s fixed my “thigh gap” completely and made my physique look much more masculine.

    Jack L. was a bad mofo. As hard as he worked, he died wishing he’d worked even harder.

    Dylan congrats on the book release. Mirin’ the hustle I’ve seen from you.

    I’ve never done a multiple day juice fast. But I do have a badass omega juicer and when i’m using it consistently, my body fat shreds off. Also my skin legit glows when I juice a lot of carrots. Crazy good vascularity and erections when I add beets. All dudes (and ladies) should be juicing. Too many benefits not to.

    Thanks for #333 Victor. Quality, life changing work as always.

    P.s.: Have you ever tried one meal a day? I’m doing it and it’s been great for fat loss and all. However I simply can’t eat enough protein. Too much food in one sitting. Any suggestions?

    • “Have you ever tried one meal a day? I’m doing it and it’s been great for fat loss and all. However I simply can’t eat enough protein. Too much food in one sitting. Any suggestions?”

      Yeah, the trick is to realize it isn’t literally one meal per day, it is an eating window of 4 hours. So eat a meal, wait an hour or two or three and eat again. That’s how you get the calories in on “one meal a day”.

      • I currently have a blog (ncaa06revival.com) that in over two years has gravitated to more of a YouTube channel. I have over 250 subscribers with 200+ videos uploaded. I don’t update the blog much because the site/channel is about a video game and my followers learn better via videos than words. I even wrote my first book that has soled modestly.

        I feel like I am at a crossroads. Although NCAA 06 has been fun, I do not feel like I can turn it into a full-time business. I’m afraid the niche is too small.

        Should I put all of my focus into a blog that has greater money-making potential or stick with what I have and see what happens? Thanks

  27. Your blog has changed my Life, Victor Pride (With a capital L).

    I have been to the Gym nonstop, opened the door, got the heaviest weights and started doing tons of reps. I was focused, I kept counting and counting as I see a drip come down my forehead. Life is much easier when you truly give it your all and I MEAN GIVE IT YOUR ALL, that you are willing to die for it. Great Mentality

    I have changed my body language thanks to all the testosterone, that I am getting looks from women everywhere. They all try to get close to me. Its annoying sometimes. but truly humorous when you hang out with your relatives on the streets.

    Then I get Respect from people who really hated me, I carry myself out as a MAN, People smile at me, and I am usually in a good mood because of that, I feel the pride inside me.

    I am learning ways to make money through the power of the internet. I am focusing on bootstrapping and having 100% ownership and am alright if I fuck up just so I can have success at the end. Just sitting in a quiet room with some good music in the dark tends to open my creative brain about what I should do. Just me and some thoughts.

    I love this feeling I get, I have to always be positive or else I fail, If I am down in a bad mood, I quickly think of my dark past. I imagine death, then I get on my feet and tell myself out loud “I WILL DO WHAT IT TAKES”. From there on I get positive. Fear diminishes, I get a slight rush of adrenaline, and a sense of what I need to do. I truly don’t give a fuck anymore. I mind my business and get to business.

    Thanks Victor, Please Continue what you are doing. People who seek the knowledge of happiness and prosperity will definitely find it here.

    P.S: Destroy that shitty negativity holding you back, fellow Readers. Anything is possible after you exterminate it and only have positivity.

  30. Hey Vic!

    Brilliant posts. Loved the P.T Barnum share, keep re-reading that one and this one’s a beaut. Is there any chance you can get these in audio format? I know it’s time-consuming, so if you can even pay someone with a great voice to do it that’d be super! To listen to in the car/gym, it’d be really helpful.

    Keep it coming uncle Vic!

  32. Good stuff Victor, as always. Though in the heading and paragraph where you are talking about squats, “heals” should be spelled as “heels.”

  33. “Fasting is important for curing ailments. I cured my lifelong allergies in 2011 from intermittent fasting, never to return”

    I would like to know more about it: I have allergies to pollen, nuts, apples, bananas, kiwi and the list goes on. How exactly did it happen to you?

    Great artictle as always,

  34. What’s happenin’ Uncle Vic! Excellent article, my friend. Bringing the heat, as per usual.

    Quick question-taking inventory of your protocols in 30DoD and Body of a Spartan, are you still on the IF meat, eggs, butter, veggies & rice/potatoes regimen? Mr. Bragg is clearly leaning toward the vegetarianism side of eating and I’m curious what your take is!

    Thanks for everything, sir.

    • I eat 1-2 meals per day, no snacks. The food I eat varies. Basically, I listen to what my body craves and I eat whatever I want. That includes “healthy” food and junk food.

  35. Hi Uncle Vic, I’ve been a long time fan of your site and I’m a Ronin in Training (following your suggestions in NWR).

    I’m actually a Korean American, and I have the ability to serve in the Korean military for 2 years in order to gain dual citizenship. I remember you earlier suggested a man should gain dual citizenship if possible. Also it seems like military service would be good for learning Martial Values that will help me in my path of becoming a New World Ronin.

    Would you recommend serving for 2 years, and would that military experience (and dual citizenship) be worth it, or would it be a waste of time, and that instead during those 2 years I should be building a business as NWR ultimately aspires to do?

    Thanks Uncle Vic, and keep up the good work!

  37. I’m interested in drinking only distilled water. I drink only Fiji natural spring water but distilled water seems more pure. I can’t find distilled water anywhere except for Smart Water but Smart Water adds electrolytes “for taste”.
    Do you make your own distilled water? If so, can you tell us how?
