Masculine Mindset Show

👉 Alpha Body Blueprint Coaching (Get Shredded Like an Alpha) https://www.masculinemindsetcoach.com/alpha-body-blueprint-coaching/#tve-jump-191d4e459a4 In this episode, I dismantle the biggest lie skinny guys tell themselves — the identity of being a “hardgainer.” After training for years in multiple gyms, coaching real bodies, and watching the same failures repeat, I’m laying out why this label becomes a psychological ceiling that quietly sabotages muscle growth. This isn’t motivation. It’s correction. We cover: Why the “hardgainer” label keeps men stuck in a losing loop The most common hardgainer myths that kill muscle growth Why compound exercises matter more than fancy isolation work How ego training and junk volume keep you small Why recovery weeks — including yoga — are an alpha strategy, not a soft one The difference between effort, execution, and actual results If your lifts aren’t moving, your bodyweight isn’t increasing, and your physique hasn’t changed in years, this episode explains exactly why. No fluff. No genetics cope. Just standards. I’m not accepting new one-on-one clients — but if you want access to my thinking, my training philosophy, and a community of men actually executing instead of making excuses, you can join my Skool community. Everything else is noise.

In this episode, I break down the moment I realized NLP wasn’t wrong — it just wasn’t the layer I wanted to live in. After going deep into NLP, including belief-editing tools like timeline work, something unexpected happened: clarity increased, but integration didn’t. Memory didn’t feel healed — it felt edited. And that distinction changed everything. This isn’t an attack on NLP. I still respect state change, anchoring, and parts work. But there’s a difference between changing beliefs and building capacity. In this episode, I explain: why belief editing isn’t the same as integration where NLP excels — and where it quietly stops why Shadow Work became my lane how real integration is supported by peer-reviewed psychology, not just insight why deeper inner work demands pressure, honesty, and embodiment — not comfort and why some men feel pulled toward darker, more demanding work most people avoid I also explain why I’m no longer pursuing NLP practitioner certification, why I’m going all-in on Shadow Work, and how physical training plays a critical role in psychological integration. This episode isn’t for everyone. But if you’ve ever felt like understanding your patterns wasn’t the same as breaking them — stay with it.   AFFILIATE RESOURCES — Shadow Ethos Approved  🔥 Joseph Patrick Liverman’s Legacy Nootropic — Limitless Focus The cognitive blade engineered by the late Joseph Patrick Liverman, the man whose mind ran at a frequency most people never touch.

One of my personal training clients, Jason, said something that made me pause: “Rituals can be evil.” I realized something important — that statement isn’t an attack. It’s a limiting belief. In this episode of the Masculine Mindset Show, I introduce Project X — a new framework focused on frame sovereignty, internal authority, and masculine backbone — and explain why rituals aren’t dark, demonic, or mystical nonsense. They’re structured tools for emotional regulation, presence, and self-governance.

It’s about discipline exposure. These seven foods aren’t exciting — and that’s the point. They work because they remove emotion, comfort, and excuses from eating. If this episode irritates you, good. That irritation is the identity friction you keep avoiding. Listen carefully. Then decide if you’re actually serious about fat loss. 🔥 Alpha Body Bootcamp Elite — Apply the Frame Physically Get lean.

Phase-Zero conditioning for men who are done being invisible and ready to become undeniable. 👉 How to Embody The Rake’s Mindset (Gumroad):  https://5578660633542.gumroad.com/l/Secretsofthesilentrake Most men quote Machiavelli. Very few live him. In this episode, Adam Skoda delivers a first-hand field report on what actually happens when a man practices Machiavellian detachment — not as theory, not as aesthetic, but as a lived psychological state. This isn’t a motivational episode. This isn’t “dark masculinity” cosplay. This is documentation. You’ll hear: why detachment became necessary what it trained (silence, restraint, calm authority) what it sharpened (presence, decisiveness) what it removed (warmth, emotional availability) and why total detachment is a phase — not a lifestyle A recorded ceremonial artifact from that period is included as documentation of the state — and then immediately debriefed so the lesson lands as mastery, not extremism. Detachment works. It just doesn’t ask permission before it takes something.

Unleash Irresistible Confidence & Magnetic Masculinity — Become The Alpha Women Can’t Resist + 3 Bonus Rituals! 👉 https://5578660633542.gumroad.com/l/become-the-alpha We start with Frame Control — how to stay internally stable under pressure, how to avoid reactivity, and how not to leak power when someone challenges you. Then we go where most men never go… Into Frame Sovereignty. The point where you no longer manage interactions… because your presence regulates them. This episode exposes: • why silence is often fear wearing confidence • why avoidance is not dominance • why some men talk about frame… but collapse when challenged • and why real authority never needs to enforce itself This is Silent Rake doctrine. No chasing. No flinching. No explaining. Just gravity. If you’ve ever felt like you’re “holding frame” but still subtly reacting… If you’ve ever needed distance to feel strong… If you’ve ever wondered why certain men command rooms without effort… This episode answers that. This is not tactics. This is state. And if you’re ready to stop managing frame… and start inhabiting it… This is where that shift begins. 🔥 Alpha Body Bootcamp Elite — Apply the Frame Physically Get lean. Get dominant.

This episode is inspired by an old underground concept popularized in ZenGasms — the idea that attraction grows through containment, restraint, and internal authority, not effort. But inspiration alone doesn’t help men. In fact, Adam makes fun of this document, and his younger self showing a woman proper pull-up form. So we take those ideas and plug them into a clear, masculine pacing & leading framework you can actually apply: Attraction → High-Status Conversation → Escalation You’ll also hear The Adam Phenomenon: Why Women Pretend Not to Notice You — a comedic Phase III skit from project X breaking down the moment when: her body reacts her mind denies it and she convinces herself nothing happened It’s funny. It’s uncomfortable. And it’s painfully accurate.

Men who show up. 👉 Join the community: https://www.skool.com/masculine-mindset-community-6667 Most men think strength is about numbers. It’s not. It’s about what you can handle when comfort is removed. In this episode, I break down why the incline bench press is a status lift—and why it exposes things flat bench never will. Weak structure. Impatience. Ego. Avoidance. After spotting my man Jared incline bench 310 pounds, something became crystal clear: real strength shows up quietly. No hype. No theatrics. Just control, presence, and standards. We cover: Why incline bench punishes shortcuts and rewards discipline The technical mistakes that expose fake strength fast How upper-chest development mirrors real-world authority Why men avoid incline (and what that says about their mindset) The unspoken code of brotherhood built under shared pressure How training around disciplined men accelerates identity change Incline bench doesn’t care about your excuses. It doesn’t respond to motivation. It only responds to structure. And so does life. If you’ve ever wondered why some men command respect without saying much… this episode will make it obvious. Incline bench doesn’t lie. Neither does your standard. #incline bench press #incline bench status lift #incline bench mindset #upper chest workout #masculine mindset training #discipline over motivation #strength training for men AFFILIATE RESOURCES — Shadow Ethos Approved 🔥 Joseph Patrick Liverman’s Legacy Nootropic — Limitless Focus The cognitive blade engineered by the late Joseph Patrick Liverman, the man whose mind ran at a frequency most people never touch.

START HERE — THE 14-DAY MINDSET & MUSCLE CHALLENGE This is where discipline gets installed. 👉 Start the 14-Day Mindset & Muscle Challenge (Beginner German Volume Training in Trainerize) https://www.trainerize.me/checkout/masculinemindsetcoachllc/Adam.Skoda?planGUID=c2b927b2ce5b40c2aa6d24bbf5479dcc Most men don’t fail because they’re lazy. They fail because they keep restarting. They wait for motivation. They wait for January. They wait for a version of themselves that never actually shows up. In this episode, I break down why 14 days—done correctly—can end the restart cycle, and why discipline isn’t built through hype, motivation, or endless information. It’s built through structure, tension, and stillness. You’ll learn: Why most men don’t trust themselves yet — and how that changes Why random workouts weaken confidence instead of building it How Beginner German Volume Training (GVT) creates structure without overwhelm Why meditation after training rewires your nervous system for control How Eduardo Sanchez completed the challenge and carried that stillness into daily life Why starting before the New Year sets a different standard entirely This isn’t about aesthetics alone. It’s about self-respect. Because a man who keeps his word to himself becomes a man others take seriously.   AFFILIATE RESOURCES — Shadow Ethos Approved 🔥 Joseph Patrick Liverman’s Legacy Nootropic — Limitless Focus The cognitive blade engineered by the late Joseph Patrick Liverman.

Containment is power. In this episode, I break down The Dual Anchor Protocol—a red-candle ritual discipline designed to train masculine restraint under pressure. This is not about chasing, performing, or seeking validation. It’s about learning how to hold desire without leaking attention. You’ll learn: Why most men collapse under emotional or sexual pull How restraint creates gravity (without manipulation) Why uncertainty increases polarity when attention stops leaking How ritualized stillness sharpens presence and authority This episode builds directly on prior rites like The Black Flame Ritual of Sovereignty, and When I Met My Shadow Self — Niccolò, The Prince. This is Phase-Zero conditioning—the prerequisite before touching deeper systems. How to Embody The Rake’s Mindset is Phase-Zero conditioning for men who want presence, polarity, and authority—without chasing, performing, or leaking attention. https://5578660633542.gumroad.com/l/Secretsofthesilentrake AFFILIATE RESOURCES — Shadow Ethos Approved🔥 Joseph Patrick Liverman’s Legacy Nootropic — Limitless Focus The cognitive blade engineered by the late Joseph Patrick Liverman, the man whose mind ran at a frequency most people never touch.

Men who show up.   👉 Join the community: https://www.skool.com/masculine-mindset-community-6667 Machiavelli warned that men who rely on being liked surrender control of their fate. In this episode, Adam breaks down why men without a dark side aren’t virtuous — they’re vulnerable. Why excessive niceness becomes self-betrayal. And why the ability to withdraw, disappoint, and walk away calmly is not cruelty — it’s discipline. You’ll hear a personal story about cutting the cord with a woman not out of anger, but self-preservation. We explore why men who do favors for everyone lose leverage, how absence resets hierarchy, and why disciplined darkness is often misinterpreted by the wrong people — and recognized instantly by the right ones. This episode is not about being heartless. It’s about being effective.   In This Episode:  Why Machiavelli distrusted men who depended on approval The difference between kindness and political weakness How over-accommodation destroys respect and leverage Why cutting the cord can be an act of self-preservation The dark side defined correctly: capacity, restraint, control Why some people fear disciplined strength — and others trust it How distance and withdrawal reassert hierarchy Why the body is the final enforcement mechanism of boundaries If you’re done over-explaining, over-giving, and negotiating your standards, this episode is your reminder: Power doesn’t need permission.   AFFILIATE RESOURCES — Shadow Ethos Approved 🔥 Joseph Patrick Liverman’s Legacy Nootropic — Limitless Focus The cognitive blade engineered by the late Joseph Patrick Liverman, the man whose mind ran at a frequency most people never touch.

The community for men who want more muscle, more discipline, more testosterone, more fitness challenges — and zero weakness. https://www.skool.com/masculine-mindset-community-6667 Most men ruin cable crossovers by loading too much weight, stopping at midline, and turning them into a sloppy shoulder movement. Then they wonder why their chest never changes. In this episode, I break down why cable crossovers are one of the most misunderstood chest exercises in the gym and how to use them properly as a finisher to carve density, separation, and that hard, “pressed” look. In this episode, you’ll learn:Why cable crossovers keep constant tension on the chest and why that matters at the end of a workout How going past midline is where the chest actually finishes the rep Why controlling the eccentric under fatigue forces real chest activation The exact body position that prevents your shoulders from hijacking the movement How advanced lifters use cable crossovers after heavy presses to finish the chest with precision Why ego weight turns finishers into fluff—and keeps your chest soft This episode came straight from the gym floor after showing a simple correction that instantly changed how the movement felt—and why that correction matters when the chest is already fatigued. Cable crossovers don’t build your chest by themselves. They reveal whether your chest was trained correctly. If cable crossovers never worked for you, this episode explains exactly why—and how to fix it.   AFFILIATE RESOURCES  🔥 Joseph Patrick Liverman’s Legacy Nootropic — Limitless Focus The cognitive blade engineered by the late Joseph Patrick Liverman, the man whose mind ran at a frequency most people never touch.

Inspired by the legendary episode This Is Why You Must Be DELUSIONAL in Your Own World, today we’re taking delusional confidence and weaponizing it — with humor, seduction, and a level of self-awareness that makes even mirrors question their existence. In this episode, I unravel the night I looked at myself and the mirror basically said: “Bro… I need a break.” Not out of fear. Out of sheer attraction. This is where ego meets comedy, where self-belief becomes seduction, and where your inner world gets so strong that even glass develops feelings. Inside, you’ll learn: • how delusional confidence becomes a magnetic field women can’t ignore • why playful arrogance hits harder than scripted masculinity • why your reflection responds exactly like your tethers do • the psychology of becoming the “main character” in real life • and why lighting a red candle is the moment everything shifts This episode is not humility. This is high-performance delusion packaged in dark humor, irresistible confidence, and a story that will make women roll their eyes while hitting replay at 1:14 a.m. If your reflection has ever looked back at you like it’s plotting something… this episode is your confirmation. When your reflection becomes dangerous… you light the red candle. And let the world adjust. #MasculineMindset #DelusionalConfidence #SilentRakeEnergy #ForbiddenConfidence #MasculineFrame #SelfAmusedMen #DarkHumorPodcast #SeductionPsychology #MainCharacterEnergy #RedCandleCeremony #CockyConfidence #HighValueMasculinity #MirrorWorkMagic #EgoMastery #PsychicAttraction   FOLLOW Join the Masculine Mindset Community (Skool) The community for men who want more muscle, more discipline, more testosterone, more fitness challenges — and zero weakness. 👉 https://www.skool.com/masculine-mindset-community-6667   Instagram — Adam Skoda 👉 https://www.instagram.com/adam_skoda/   TikTok — Masculine Mindset Coach 👉 https://www.tiktok.com/@masculinemindsetcoach   Instagram — The One With No Eyes Who Collects 👉 https://www.instagram.com/shadow_mentor77/   Twitter — Adam Skoda 👉 https://twitter.com/AdamSkoda5     AFFILIATE RESOURCES 🔥Joseph Patrick Liverman’s Legacy Nootropic — Limitless Focus 👉 https://limitlessfocus.com/ref/274/   🔥Tactical Soap — Pheromones That Actually Work 👉 https://tacticalsoap.com/?rfsn=6399403.4e3327   🔥BUCKED UP — Shadow Ethos Training Fuel (20% Off) Use code EA2BEF 👉 https://www.buckedup.com/?uid_m=251417   TRAINING • TRANSFORMATION • DOMINANCE   🔥Start the German Volume Training Program (Official Checkout) 👉https://www.trainerize.me/profile/masculinemindsetcoachllc/?planGUID=3a516c7585ce471d87bddb178732d0bc&mode=checkout   👉Start the 14-Day Mindset & Muscle Challenge https://www.trainerize.me/checkout/masculinemindsetcoachllc/Adam.Skoda?planGUID=c2b927b2ce5b40c2aa6d24bbf5479dcc   👉Alpha Body Blueprint Coaching https://www.masculinemindsetcoach.com/alpha-body-blueprint-coaching/#tve-jump-191d4e459a4   👉77 Ways to Develop a Masculine Mindset (Amazon) https://amzn.to/3Y0b18u     MORE RESOURCES Book a fitness / clarity consultation https://clarity.fm/adamskoda/precall   FREE workout tutorials (YouTube) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsOX8YNT60bQ9EnUn63xUfQ   100+ FREE articles https://www.masculinemindsetcoach.com/masculine-mindset-blog/   Email AdamSkoda@MasculinemindsetCoach.com

In this episode, I break  down Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard with a calm, precise, unbothered verdict:   1 — What ON Gold Standard Whey Actually Is A straightforward blend that does its job without pretending to be holy or exotic. No mythology. No romance. Just clean execution.   2 — The Pros Strong absorption, lean macros, consistent results, and the kind of reliability men with structure naturally gravitate toward.   3 — The Cons Not “pure,” not grass-fed, not organic. Effective, not enlightened. And that alone disqualifies the supplement tourists.   4 — Who Should Use It Men who train with intent, not theatrics. Men who value function over narrative. Men whose discipline makes supplements work, not the other way around.   5 — The Final Verdict Gold Standard isn’t exceptional. It’s dependable — which puts it above half the industry and most of its competitors. A tool for men who already know who they are.   FOLLOW Join the Masculine Mindset Community (Skool) The community for men who want more muscle, more discipline, more testosterone, more fitness challenges — and zero weakness. 👉 https://www.skool.com/masculine-mindset-community-6667   Instagram — Adam Skoda 👉 https://www.instagram.com/adam_skoda/   TikTok — Masculine Mindset Coach 👉 https://www.tiktok.com/@masculinemindsetcoach   Instagram — The One With No Eyes Who Collects 👉 https://www.instagram.com/shadow_mentor77/   Twitter — Adam Skoda 👉 https://twitter.com/AdamSkoda5   AFFILIATE RESOURCES 🔥Joseph Patrick Liverman’s Legacy Nootropic — Limitless Focus 👉 https://limitlessfocus.com/ref/274/   🔥Tactical Soap — Pheromones That Actually Work 👉 https://tacticalsoap.com/?rfsn=6399403.4e3327   🔥BUCKED UP — Shadow Ethos Training Fuel (20% Off) Use code EA2BEF 👉 https://www.buckedup.com/?uid_m=251417   TRAINING • TRANSFORMATION • DOMINANCE   🔥Start the German Volume Training Program (Official Checkout) 👉https://www.trainerize.me/profile/masculinemindsetcoachllc/?planGUID=3a516c7585ce471d87bddb178732d0bc&mode=checkout   👉Start the 14-Day Mindset & Muscle Challenge https://www.trainerize.me/checkout/masculinemindsetcoachllc/Adam.Skoda?planGUID=c2b927b2ce5b40c2aa6d24bbf5479dcc   👉Alpha Body Blueprint Coaching https://www.masculinemindsetcoach.com/alpha-body-blueprint-coaching/#tve-jump-191d4e459a4   👉77 Ways to Develop a Masculine Mindset (Amazon) https://amzn.to/3Y0b18u     MORE RESOURCES Book a fitness / clarity consultation https://clarity.fm/adamskoda/precall   FREE workout tutorials (YouTube) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsOX8YNT60bQ9EnUn63xUfQ   100+ FREE articles https://www.masculinemindsetcoach.com/masculine-mindset-blog/   Email AdamSkoda@MasculinemindsetCoach.com  

SHADOW WORK FOR HIGH PERFORMING MEN https://www.brainzmagazine.com/post/shadow-work-for-high-performing-men-the-hidden-layer-of-self-discipline Most men hold onto the tension they create. They stay open. They stay emotionally exposed. They let the psychic send bounce around inside them instead of inside her. Seal The Echo fixes that. You’ll learn: • how to detach while the echo lingers in her emotional field • why grounding after a psychic send is mandatory • how to close your field without killing the imprint • how Seal The Echo prevents obsession, fatigue, and unnecessary energetic noise • how this ritual pairs with PROJECT X - pre-phase power work for maximum impact If you listened to the Universal Psychic Etheric Message episode, this is the missing piece that makes that transmission ten times more potent.

The community for men who want more muscle, more discipline, more testosterone, more fitness challenges — and zero weakness. https://www.skool.com/masculine-mindset-community-6667 In this episode, we dismantle the story your ego has been feeding you since childhood — and expose who actually planted that script in your mind. You’ll hear the opening hook that frames everything, the ego’s biggest lie (ownership), and the truth most mentors avoid because it threatens their authority. We break down the real reason the ego lies, how cognitive biases inflate your identity without permission, and the hidden side of ethical egoism no one teaches. Then we move into reclaiming your identity, rewiring your internal authority, and a teaser for the upcoming Ego Death & Seal the Echo work that’ll take you deeper than anything you’ve heard from me yet. If you’re ready to see yourself with clarity — not illusion — this is where the shift begins.

Inside this episode, I walk you through every stage of the descent: 1. The Line That Grabs the Throat We open with a moment designed to shake your nervous system awake—the call of inevitability, the first crack of the shadow coming online, and the realization that the “killer” inside you isn’t violent… he’s precise, cold, and necessary. A line that doesn’t motivate you—it unstitches you. 2. The Prince’s Whisper The true story behind the moment the Machiavellian archetype stepped into the room— the day From Cradle to Enslave hit, the atmosphere shifted, and Niccolò the Prince delivered a sentence that didn’t sound like advice… but like a command. You’ll hear how one phrase rewired my entire masculine operating system. 3. What Shadow Ethos Actually Is Forget everything you’ve been taught about “shadow work.” Here I break down Shadow Ethos in its pure form: unfiltered will predatory calm cold focus dominance with zero violence desire without apology motion without hesitation It’s the sovereign core men lose— the state before society sedates them. This is the doctrine no one explains because no one wants you to wake up to it. 4. The Night The Shadow Ethos Came Online I take you into the exact moment the Shadow Ethos activated in me— the barbell in my hands, the Filth track screaming, the flash of the Prince behind my left shoulder, and the birth of the figure now known as: The One With No Eyes Who Collects. https://www.instagram.com/shadow_mentor77/?igsh=cWp0bWU0Yzk0MHYx&utm_source=qr# You’ll hear how this wasn’t imagination, ego, or theatrics— but the psychological snap that returned me to my original masculine instinct.   5. The Killer of Hesitation Ritual The centerpiece of the episode. A dominant ritual manifested through the Prince— a ceremony designed to kill the only enemy men actually have: hesitation. No violence. No chaos. Just the protocol that removes doubt, soft language, apology, and emotional noise with surgical efficiency. This ritual is not symbolic. It changes how you breathe, how you move, how you decide, how you show up— and how people respond to your presence. 6. Integration + Real-World Application Power means nothing unless it becomes behavior. Here I break down how Shadow Ethos translates into: decision-making that cuts clean presence that slows the room voice that carries dominance without volume flirting rooted in unapologetic desire business moves made with inevitability identity built on sovereign, unshakable grounding This is where the ritual stops being theory and starts becoming your operating system. 7. Outro — Shadow Mentor Tone The episode closes with the voice of the No-Eyed Shadow Mentor— a cold whisper that reminds you: You didn’t awaken a monster. You awakened the part of you the world tried to bury. A warning. A promise. An initiation. When you finish this episode, you won’t walk the same. You won’t decide the same. You won’t be the same. You’ll move like inevitability— and let the world adjust.   👉Start the 14-Day Mindset & Muscle Challenge https://www.trainerize.me/checkout/masculinemindsetcoachllc/Adam.Skoda?planGUID=c2b927b2ce5b40c2aa6d24bbf5479dcc 👉Want the Lean, Shredded Physique of an Alpha?

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:   The Stillness Why most guys can’t sit still without looking like they’re waiting for their mom — and how YOUR stillness becomes the “calm-before-the-flirt” moment that wakes up her nervous system.   The Emergence That subtle awareness expansion where people start squinting at you like their horoscope didn’t prepare them for this level of main-character energy. Bonus: the unspoken leash and why women feel the pull before they understand it.   The Heartbeat Drop The moment your identity clicks, your confidence stops leaking, and the return comes online — where YOU become the reference point, not her, not society, not Instagram.   What The Current Actually Looks Like The 90% silence, 9% posture, 1% dangerously-amused smirk formula that makes women look at you like you just disrupted their neurological software.   The Seductive Edge (Without Trying) Why REAL magnetism isn’t something you “do” … it’s something you stop doing — and how slow movement, steady breathing, and unbothered presence hit harder than any pickup line on earth.   The Deep-Core Shift Where your presence transforms from “performance” to actual gravity — and the unspoken leash tightens without you lifting a finger.   And of course… I’m a personal trainer, which means if you’re walking around with Forbidden Current energy and daycare-level biceps, that’s false advertising.   So yes — the free 14-Day Challenge is inside this episode too.   👉Start the 14-Day Mindset & Muscle Challenge https://www.trainerize.me/checkout/masculinemindsetcoachllc/Adam.Skoda?planGUID=c2b927b2ce5b40c2aa6d24bbf5479dcc 👉Want the Lean, Shredded Physique of an Alpha?
