Masculine Psychology Breakdown Most men think their ego lies because they’re arrogant, insecure, or “not disciplined enough.” Wrong. Your ego lies for one main reason: You’re operating on a borrowed identity. From childhood through adulthood, your mind collects beliefs from: - parents - teachers - coaches - influencers - authority figures - social groups - even the roles you played to fit in Most of your ego wasn’t even built by you. It was inherited. And anything you inherit unconsciously will distort reality. Here are the two biggest distortions men fall into: 1️⃣ Illusory Causation — “I was there, so I caused it.” Humans overestimate their influence on outcomes. This bias creates the illusion that: “If I coached you… everything you learned came from me.” No. That’s ego colonization — not masculine psychology. You grew because YOU took the lesson, YOU applied it, and YOU evolved. A mentor can assist your growth, but they don’t own it. This is a message many coaches don’t want to hear: 👉 If you were present during someone’s growth, it doesn’t mean you caused all of it. Not malicious. Just a cognitive bias. But it creates a ton of confusion and UN-HEALTHY entitlement in the mentorship world. 2️⃣ Attribution Bias — The Ego’s Favorite Escape Hatch This one is wild. Your brain loves to see: - their behavior as “who they are” - your behavior as “a special situation” Example: “He acted that way because he’s weak.” “I acted that way because I had a lot going on.” The ego uses this to keep you feeling like you’re always the rational one. This destroys self-awareness and keeps men stuck. So Why Does Your Ego Actually Lie? Not because you’re broken. Not because you’re prideful. Not because you “lack discipline.” Your ego lies because it was built on: - inherited beliefs - unconscious roles - outdated survival strategies - other people’s expectations - environments you adapted to as a kid - systems you never chose consciously

Most guys think “shadow work” is journaling with pretty handwriting or talking about their feelings until they’re numb. Wrong. Shadow work is pressure psychology. It’s the part of your mind that reveals who you actually are when nobody’s watching — your patterns, your impulses, your self-betrayals, your hidden motives. And here’s the truth: You don’t rise to your goals. You fall to your habits. And your habits come from your shadow. Let’s break this down so you actually use it. THE 6 MOST COMMON SHADOW HABITS THAT KILL MEN’S MOMENTUM 1. The “Tomorrow Guy” Talks big. Plans big. Executes… tomorrow. Shadow Cause: avoidance of pressure. Solution: micro commitments — tiny tasks done immediately. 2. The Short-Fuse Reactor Anger at traffic. Anger at delays. Anger at minor inconveniences. Shadow Cause: unresolved tension in the nervous system. Solution: breath anchoring + slow exhale reps before reacting. 3. The Validation Hunter Needs approval before moving. Tries to be liked, accepted, safe. Shadow Cause: fear of disapproval → fear of exposure. Solution: silent decisions — doing something without announcing it. 4. The Energy Leaker Scrolls mindlessly, overstimulates, wastes hours. Feels tired but never actually worked. Shadow Cause: inability to sit in stillness. Solution: 10-minute energy containment ritual (no phone, no input). 5. The Double-Life Man Says he’s disciplined but cheats on his own standards. Gym some days. Half-trained on others. Shadow Cause: identity split — one self you show the world, one self you hide. Solution: pick ONE non-negotiable and keep it for 7 straight days. 6. The Ghost Avoider Avoids hard conversations. Pretends things “aren’t that bad.” Lets resentment build. Shadow Cause: conflict anxiety → fear of losing connection. Solution: one truth spoken per week. Direct, clean, calm. Shadow Work = Exposure + Correction You don’t fix the shadow by hating it. You fix it by seeing it, then training through it just like a weak muscle group.

Boys… If you’ve ever wondered what an actual upper-body transformation looks like — not IG highlight reels, not TikTok fluff — this episode breaks down the exact sequence I used to take Gabriel from: soft → solid ordinary → “yo… who is that?” This isn’t bro-science.

He trained like a man building a physique that commands respect before he speaks.
