It’s an error in thinking where we do the right thing in the wrong order, that is, we don’t do the most important thing first.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sequencing is everything.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just as you would first go on a date, later on get into a relationship, before you ask a woman you met at the bar to marry you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You wouldn’t ask her to marry you before going on a date with you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She’d say no of course …
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And if she says yes, then you don’t want that woman.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’d be surprised how many guys think like that when it comes to getting in shape.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They are told to focus on things like supplements, cardio, shakes or pills.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yet it’s misweighted.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because it’s out of order to what’s most important to them right now.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s why I created The Kinetic Pyramid.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Most of us are optimizing from the least effective up, starting with supplements, and weight training, and then food.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The reality is there are more important things to optimize first.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How long can you go without oxygen?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Water?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sleep?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Food?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Weightlifting?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Oxygen (5 minutes)
2. Water (3 days)
3. Sleep (11 days)
4. Food (3 weeks)
5. Weightlifting (years and years)
6. Supplements (forever)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So realistically, if weighted properly, it’s the best to master daily habits in this order:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Breathing -> Breathwork or meditation
2. Hydration -> 3-4 liters of water daily
3. Sleep -> 7-9 hours of sleep every night
4. Food -> Optimized for your hormones
5. Weightlifting -> Low volume, high intensity training
6. Supplements -> Based on your blood work

After all, the richest man in the world, Jeff Bezos, said …⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“People always ask me what will be different in the next 10 years. I never understood that question. I always thought it would be better to ask ‘What would stay the same’.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Supplements come and go.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fad diets, quick fixes and hacks come up every year.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Personal trainers who are now “Transformation Experts” and think a meal plan and an exercise program are enough to get in shape, get online every day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But this hierarchy will stay forever.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a businessman, your time is capped.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Save this pyramid and focus on what works and has always worked.
