Simple Muscle-Building Protocol
- To build muscle, eat ~0.8 grams protein per pound and 500–1000 calories above metabolic rate, split across meals.
- Train full-body 3–4 times weekly with multi-joint lifts and use creatine, colostrum, and essential amino acids.
Soul-First Identity Shift
- Ben reframes identity as "a soul with a body" rather than a body with a soul to prioritize spiritual training.
- Training the soul (prayer, silence, nature, relationships) equips you to live purposefully and permanently.
