The Golden Mentality, the Linen of the Gods and Victories
Posted on May 18, 2019
I originally intended to write a release article for the new Aesthetic Men’s Linen Shirt, and while the purpose of this article remains to highlight them I wanted to take this opportunity to expound upon a mind-set that I have found useful when it comes to achieving my goals. It is simply a matter of asking myself; why can’t I? In this case it was a matter of asking; why can’t Legio Gloria have high quality, well-fitting shirts that are made in Europe? Why can’t my products be every bit as good as those of the competition? And by the competition I don’t mean some random brand, I mean the brands that I want to wear myself. Clothes are important, it is not something you want to leave to chance. I have often gotten the question; where you do find well-fitting shirts? And my answer has always been the same; I don’t know. Since most shirts are made for numales without any distinct v-taper it will be hard for someone with an athletic build (broader shoulders and a smaller waist) to find a well-fitting shirt. When I say athletic build I do not mean bodybuilding-broad but rather the physique that is attained by training in the gym naturally, or training martial arts or training swimming on an elite level; a Neo-Classical physique in other words.
The question that I ask myself in my particular endeavour, as an owner of a clothing brand, is why can’t I have the same level of products as my own favourite brands. My answer is that I can, as long as I put in the work and the research and have the necessary sense of aesthetics. And perhaps most importantly; the patience and sense of Marathon (i.e. recognising that certain endeavours take a good amount of time). I know that I want what I want much more than most, so putting on the pressure and setting the pace high is not a problem, I already know the formula to achieve certain goals, so I can get to work on new projects with a supreme clarity.
I view it as a metaphysical struggle and I intend to be victorious, no matter what the struggle is. That is the mentality, regardless if we are talking about a clothing brand (in my case) or reaching whatever goals you might have yourself. Perhaps you want to get through a challenging university education, or perhaps you want to attain a high level of physical glory, or perhaps you want to participate in an MMA-fight. Ask yourself; why can’t I achieve victory in this endeavour? In some cases it is good to be realistic about your potential, but in other cases it might be good to just believe in yourself and embrace the grind and set the pace high for a long period of time.
The development of the linen shirts was a personal and important victory. I made the measurements of them myself and it was a big investment, so I will freely admit that I was quite nervous when I tried on the first shirt of the final version myself (I had of course tried sample shirts beforehand so I knew which measurements to work from). Fortunately it fitted really well, I was rewarded for putting in the work and research. If you prepare to do something, be it an MMA-fight, powerlifting competition or an exam or engaging in a debate; be sure to prepare accordingly, the better you prepare the better you will fare. It is quite obvious really, but it bears repeating since the absolute majority of people are not willing to put in the work for a long period of time. A good example of this is the following: All men can fight but most are not very good at it. Why? Because most men are too lazy to commit to a strict training schedule. Some of these men believe themselves to be good at it or believe themselves to be tough, but the Primordial Truth teaches us that your self-perceived ‘toughness’ does not matter when a perfectly timed and perfectly placed iron fist comes crashing down on your jaw. Neither does that ‘toughness’ save you from getting slammed onto the pavement by someone who has spent countless hours training MMA or wrestling in addition to attaining a strong deadlift. It is recommended to train hard and to be humble. Some people object when I talk about the virtue of humility, I am (believe it or not) humble in the sense that I know what I am good at (the things where I have put in the work for a long period of time), just as I know what things I am not as good at, for those things I adhere to the guidance of men I trust.
I recently attended a debate night talking about the EU and the future of Europe. My clothing for the evening; the Aesthetic Linen Shirt. This was not only because it was a shirt from my own brand, it was also because it was the best suiting and most aesthetically pleasing shirt I had. It felt good putting it on, it was the sensation of victory. A victory long in the making. When talking about life as a struggle or about self-improvement you must learn to recognise victories. Five years ago (it feels both like yesterday and 500 years ago), I won a strongman competition for students. It was a great day and it felt great winning, but the true victory was that it turned out to be a great video. I have since made equally popular training videos, and each of those have been victories as well, because my goal is to inspire as many men of my bioculture (the European one) as possible to train hard. About one and a half years ago I won my first MMA-fight, the main reason for participating was to lead by example, so that the same men could be inspired to start training MMA themselves. It was thus a two-fold victory. It is my wish and belief that the training videos I have made since have also inspired guys to start training MMA – uploading those videos have thus also been victories.
How can you apply this mind-set into your everyday life? Start recognising victories; every time you progress in the Temple of Iron, no matter how small the increment, view it as a victory. Whenever you learn a new technique in a martial art, view it as a victory. It doesn’t matter if you train BJJ and have been submitted 15 times during rolling, the training session is still a victory if you have learned something new that session. Whenever you gain a new insight, from a video or book or lecture, view that as a victory. I am the result of a thousand such victories, the reason you are reading these words is not because of a few significant victories but due to the many smaller ones. I enjoy the grind, the Marathon, because I know when it comes to durability I have an edge. Soon I will hopefully reach 100 000 subscribers on YouTube, this is not due to a few viral videos, it is due to a steady production of content over a long period of time. So every time I post a video that is appreciated I have gained a victory.
This article got a bit longer than I had originally intended but I thought these were some thoughts that were worth explaining. That being said the Aesthetic Men’s Linen Shirt is made in the historically glorious nation of Lithuania and is available here: https://legiogloria.com/product/aesthetic-mens-linen-shirt-sky-blue/
Moreover, I added a page on the Legio Gloria site: Made in Europe which I recommend checking out.
Lastly, since you have read this far I would like to salute you for taking the time to read this, we need more reading and less scrolling. Also, speaking of reading, my book is completed now it is just a matter of starting the production of it.
Bronze Age Mindset – An Interview With BAP
Posted on May 12, 2019
I recently read the book Bronze Age Mindset. Bronze Age Pervert was kind enough to send me a signed copy, which I took great delight in reading, and it now stands proudly on my bookshelf. Since we share parts of our respective fan bases, and we alight in terms of aesthetics and, to a certain extent, outlook on life, I thought it was appropriate to invite him to do a written interview.
The Golden One: Greetings, Bronze Age Herald of Thumos, I just read your book and it had plenty of profound insights. What inspired you to write it, and what inspired your name Bronze Age Pervert?
Bronze Age Pervert: Greetings I send power and health. I admired you from afar when I had small account, it is honor now to do interview. I was inspired because I had vision from when I was a procurer of whores for Tushratta the King of Mitanni. He looked much like you, a man of golden skin and hair and very strong in body. I remembered how I provided prostitutes in Washukanni to the charioteers when they got tired of their war trophies. I’ve been a whoremaster for over 3500 years, reborn in different forms. I was cursed always to remember, never to forget from life to life. So I was inspired to bring that way of life I witnessed then, the spirit of the Bronze Age, of those charioteers, and the Ashvin twins, and the Dioscuri, and Achilles and Diomedes, to bring that image to our time, because I wanted to show modern so-called man how small he is and how worthless. Why? Because I’m a pervert and I enjoy that. But I also wanted to encourage the slumbering beasts from among mankind, to remind them that their only shackles are the words and worthless opinions of nobodies.
The Golden One: In your book you emphasise the importance of hormones in nature and life, both for humans and for animals. Do you think that the decline in testosterone in Western men has been a significant factor in the predicament the West finds itself in at the moment?
Bronze Age Pervert: Yes. Only one man tried to stop the weakening of the last century. This is the great warrior poet Gabriele D’Annunzio. How can man live to be man in the pigsty to which we’ve been confined? It’s obvious we’re battered by mycotoxins, xenoestrogens, microwaves, and who knows what else into becoming fat female sacks of manure. Anyway all studies show what you’re claiming. Decades-long decline in testosterone, in grip strength. Do you think males with normal testosterone levels would accept rule of insectoids like Trudeau or Merkel or May or like much of the West now? Testosterone is much lower by the way in the third world, people don’t know this. The disease of modern times is much more advanced there, in the slums of the tropics. Anyway a high-test man like Trump can win just by showing he’s not a slithering castrated pussy. He doesn’t even need to do much else it seems. People are just so tired of the slop to which mankind has been reduced they’ll turn to anyone who can awaken life in them again. Men can follow his example or that of Salvini, and become winners. But yes: like Machiavelli say, weak men have made world prey to tyrants, only the tyrants of our time hide.
The Golden One: Do you have any insights on lifestyle factors (foods etc.) that can positively influence the production of testosterone?
Bronze Age Pervert: Aside from sun and steel? I preach doctrine of raw garlic. I eat it raw and I walk the streets after, wreaking like an ethnic. Is this OK? I also hear cabbage and broccoli are good estrogen blockers. Then again who knows. Just try to sleep well, not to be under stress. Eat meat, eggs, natural dairy. The probiotic Gastrus is a great gift scientists in your country have given to the world; they claim they isolated a strain of L. Reuteri from breast milk of a Peruvian mountain woman (it’s true, look it up), but it sounds like a made-up story. This probiotic Gastrus is proven to increase testosterone. I know two men who conceived strong sons on it.
The Golden One: What is your take on sunbathing and sunbeds? What is a good amount and should one worry about skin cancer from too much sun?
Bronze Age Pervert: Skin cancer from sun only develops if inflammation is already in body. If diet high in rancid vegetable oils for example, like canola or soy oils, which unfortunately are everywhere now. But if eat well, use coconut oil both to eat and to put on skin, and build tan gradually, with a little more exposure each day, then this is good. This is how you get vitamin D3 and it is the lack of this vitamin that leads to cancer. The sun radiation you get indoors can lead to cancer, not outdoors. Sunscreen is highly toxic. On the other hand certain people, for example from bogs of northwest Europe, or the red Udmurt, can’t tan at all and they should take synthetic vitamin D3 instead. But I think if you build up to 30 minutes in midday sun daily, then this is good. Apollo had golden skin and he was born in present-day Latvia near amber fields.
The Golden One: “The enemies of Western man and the enemies of beauty are to learn just what was meant by a piratical race.”This is an absolutely glorious statement. What would you define a piratical race as?
Bronze Age Pervert: Piratical race is one that TAKE! For example Vasco da Gama when he reach India, and the Samorin and the Arab merchants were being rude and trying to deny him trading rights, he just crush them and he sunk the boat from Mecca and took all their things. But even before that, piratical race is one like his, or like the Dutch, very small nation perched on some obscure beach in western extremity of the world island who decide one day to build wood ship and travel through great dangers to other side of world. The Chinese thought they were pirates. What led the Portuguese or Dutch or your ancestors the Vikings to go down the Volga and such? Driven by great visions of conquest and world empire but also a love of wandering and adventure, and plunder and lawlessness, and to be tired of the safety of home. Now these low-test males you ask about just want to cocoon, to be domestics, and hide this behind all kinds of fake opinions about social justice. But you find the true worth of a man only outside all social justice and protection. That’s only on the high seas, of whatever sea that might be, outside the laws and stupid opinions of the many. A piratical race is one that produces men like this. See Homer if interested. I also like book An Outcast of the Islands by Conrad.
The Golden One: You often post pictures of aesthetically pleasing men on your Twitter, much to the chagrin of lesser men. How do you respond to the un-Enlightened souls who call this “gay”?
Bronze Age Pervert: Many see these images of power and feel to be made less, because they’re fat and so on, and don’t want to become better. Many are alienated from physical life and anything physical and want to feel righteous in rejecting it: these are the spiritual cuckolds. Others are afraid their girlfriends will see their flabby bodies and compare with the photos, while others want to protect Ben Shapiro. But why do I poast? Many reasons, but the aesthetic physiqs encourage some to attain and work for that greatness in the photos, which also inspired the greatest art of the greatest two eras of mankind. They are indisputable images of greatness and perfection. Many men have improved their bodies and lives because of these poastings. I won’t stop poasting aesthetic physiqs, I don’t care what a few self-righteous smirking male lesboids think.
The Golden One: It is my firm belief that we have to get as many young Western men as possible into the Temple of Iron. What would you say is the best way of getting them into the gym?
Bronze Age Pervert: I think what you do, and your image and your program are a great example to youth, you promote it with both great example and great humor. But also is good to remind them that in ancient Greece slaves weren’t allowed in gyms, because gyms and hunting were for military training. This can motivate, and is the truth. To those who are inclined to be intellectuals, or nerds, it is important most of all to embrace discipline of iron: please see Mishima’s Sun and Steel, the most important reflection on physical training by a great artist.
The Golden One: One could argue that pornography is a demon sent to sap the vitality and well-being of young men. Do you have any good mental techniques to share for the brahs struggling with quitting?
Bronze Age Pervert: Well just look at what the porn star looks like without makeup. Have you seen the pockmarked livestock faces that go into porn these days, might as well jerk it to dead rat. Then you can also remember that porn is promoted as a form of psychological warfare and that when you wank it to these very sub-par wimin you’re making yourself a eunuch for a lesbian mulatta commissar. Better to welcome nofap when it comes easily because you are driven by other things, but if you must fap, do it instead to images in your head of great power. Study Wilhelm Reich and understand this energy can be channelled to psychic power. Imagine also for example great health, or the attainment of a material desire, and fap to that instead of porn.
The Golden One: Except for embarking upon the Iron Journey and getting some sun, do you recommend any essential things a young man should be doing (or not be doing)?
Bronze Age Pervert: Find close friends who read great books of Homer with you and share great ambitions and plans together. Note: becoming interior designer is not a great plan. Taking over your country in ten to twenty years is.
The Golden One: What is your top 5 recommended books to read (except your own book)?
Bronze Age Pervert: They must read Homer, Herodotus, Plutarch’s Lives and Nietzsche book Beyond Good and Evil. These are five then. I also recommend Conrad Lord Jim: tale of adventure and self-perfection.
The Golden One: What type of music do you listen to when you are in the gym. Good training music is always appreciated.
Bronze Age Pervert: I will soon send you playlist why not? I listen however to a streaming website called SomaFM, and my favorite channels are Space Station Soma and Secret Agent. They also have a trance channel but that is in my opinion too high-energy for gym. I’ve also listened to Aphex Twin Stone in Focus on loop for the whole session.
The Golden One: Thank you for your insights. Do you have any other wisdom you would like to impart on my disciples?
Bronze Age Pervert: I say before, I repeat: see Albrecht Durer etching Knight Death and the Devil! Look at that smile in the midst of great evils. Always try to attain that smile and good humor. Never lose hope, never give up, never surrender!I will have broadcast coming soon, documenting my quarrels with detrimental robots, my struggles against the service industry, and against the Satanic designs of the Great Mother. I hope you will enjoy.
Hypertrophic Chokladbollar Recipe
Posted on May 2, 2019
My dear wife made chokladbollar (I can attest to their superb taste) using the following recipe. You can modify the recipe as you see fit. Moreover, although Jotunheim whey is clearly superior to lesser brands you can use any chocolate whey to make this recipe.
- 150 gr butter (room temperature).
- 1.5 dl stevia.
- 3 tablespoons cocoa.
- 2 scoops of Jotunheim Nutrition Chocolate whey protein.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 2 tablespoons of cold brewed coffee.
- 4 dl oats Some coconut flakes to roll them in.
Instructions: In a bowl, heat the butter a little bit until it is soft enough to mix. Add the stevia or sugar and mix it thoroughly with the butter. When mixed, add the liquids: vanilla extract and the 2 tablespoons of cold coffee. Mix well. Add the cocoa and scoops of chocolate whey and mix again until well blended. Lastly, add the oats and combine well until you get a dough like texture and you start shaping balls. Roll them in coconut flakes. Ready!
A note on the supplement industry and Swedish food quality
Posted on March 18, 2019
This is a clarification for anyone wondering about the supplement industry. First and foremost it must be clarified that Jotunheim Nutrition has the adequate certificates to guarantee clean and safe products (the ones in the picture above are the ones I have put on the products). Since I am consuming all of the products myself I want to ensure a high quality. I will also say that the Swedish food industry (including the supplement industry) is generally speaking quite a bit better than other countries. Sweden has many problems, but a high standard of food is not one. For example, compared to the more liberal American food market the Swedish one is heavily regulated (which in this case is good). This applies for supplements as well. Moreover, since Sweden also places high demands upon ethical treatment of animals it means that Swedish cows are happier and healthier, which in turn grants healthier dairy products (whey included). Having grown up in the country-side myself, I can comment on their living conditions; i.e. seeing them grazing in their pastures, which is far removed from the outright heinous conditions the factory-farm cows live under. I don’t know which whey products to recommend in markets outside of Sweden but I do suggest you do some research and see if you can trace the origins of the dairy; optimally they will come from a farm that practices ethical treatment. Lastly, a note on whey itself – it is simply a high protein dairy product (so not a supplement but food).
