Always still starting with WHY and sharpening your 4 swords

When you know your "why" in the world, winning is a forgone conclusion...all ya gotta do is sort the how and the what — that's the easy part. Define your highest leverage roles (no more than 4)… assign a profound WHY to each, and take massive fucking action (fire, fire, fire, aim!) to execute. Weaponize your WHY. Here’s how I do it.

Liver King Eye Injury Update…


Sept 24th
, I confessed the following: 

“Yes, I sustained strikes, got knocked out, got concussed, got taken by ambulance to hospital, and got eye injuries… Good!” — LK

LK eye surgeon remarked that you're going to lose the eye... it's destroyed, going to require multiple surgeries, still going to lose central vision, and face recurrent surgeries every couple of years (still might not recover vision).

Oct 1st
, I detailed this…

“Turns out, only LK is strong enough to knock self out, concuss, kill brain tissue… imagine what I could do to a lesser Primal.” — LK

LK eye surgeon informs that it's too bloodied and deranged to assess and maintains initial prognosis. Despite the practical and pessimistic outlook, I know that anything is possible, and with just the right amount fight, we’ll get it all healed up.

👁️ You’ll never guess who did it... or perhaps you will?

I mean, who else is capable of sending a goddam Barbarian to the floor...

I’ll tell you now, few modern-day men would have what it takes...

Meanwhile, a door knob and some bands are totally capable... trust me, I would know.

I wish this story was more heroic, but it’s not... it’s a case of Liver King getting to f*cking work... perhaps even getting too creative for my own good.

I give you permission to laugh at my expense, so long as you also learn from the lesson here.

Even a King isn’t invincible, so stay humble... or watch out, something will do the job for you.

, the eye surgeon says, “don’t get your hopes up,” but…  

"Anatomies appear to be reattaching… even healing.
Close up of Liver King's eye healing


Go goes on to explain how ocular injuries “can” form a barrier around the irreparable parts and continue to heal, but... he's never seen it happen in his 30 years of experience. Instructs me to wear eye patch 50:50 so that the seeing instruments and mechanisms of the right eye don't go into hibernation.


October 18th

Liver King eye surgeon can hardly believe it... the retina has healed and reattached (almost completely). Lemme get a “YEA, YEA, BOIIIIY!” He goes on to say that there remains an area where the blood is blocking optics to assess. He’s worried it may not be attached in this bloodied compartment, so he’s recommending a laser barricade and cryo procedure to ensure this area doesn't tear like wet tissue paper once I start moving without restrictions.

"After we weld and freeze, we can work on the tears on visual obstructions." — LK Eye Surgeon


October 26th

Liver King gets eye surgeries. After it heals up, we’ll focus on corrective procedures to regain full vision strength in right eye.

Liver King Eye Injury Records for Coach Greg

This one shows the following:

  • Retina is destroyed into pieces…
Liver King's eye scan showing his injury


This one basically shows the following: 

  • Trauma to right eye… SEVERE
  • Iris has sphincter tears and angle recession
  • Retinal detachment has exudative hemorrhagic component
  • Retinal detachment has rhegmatogenous component
  • Choroidal rupture and subretinal blood present

Doc goes on to state the course of action is unclear due to the complexity of the tears and multiple classification of detachment types. Surgical maneuvers unclear.

Liver King Concussion Update, Brain Damage Issues…

Lingering symptoms of concussion are tough… word-finding difficulties, fractured sleep, mood, memory, drive and determination need some love. My usual Liver King level 10 intensity that was my default mode, I really have to work at (I remind myself WHY, anchor, light it the fuck up, and it’s fucking on). 

Completed another EEG today, and doing several novel modalities to get smart!



Liver King Takes Aim… Killing from Distance (How’s the eye)

Spears

Axes

Pistols


Don't ask me how I managed to shoot on target… I attempted 3 different custom-built pistols with optics… turns out, I can see three reticles with both eyes open (there should only be one).



Liver King Steals Mamma’s Eggs… Salmonella???

Comments all over socials about the chicken shit on the eggs… salmonella on the egg… aren’t you afraid of getting sick… to which I reply:

I AM LIVER KING… SALMONELLA IS AFRAID OF ME.



Liver King Eats Sunscreen

If you can’t eat your sunscreen, it might not be so good to put on your largest organ. Truth is, I love the sun and it loves me back… I never wear sunscreen because I eat my sunscreen (i.e. nourishing foods rich in antioxidants that protect my skin from UV damage so I don't burn)...

Secondly, I get early morning sun every day to signal to my skin to upregulate protective mechanisms for the sunny day to come...

Thirdly, I never, and I mean never, wear sunglasses which prevents our ability to recognize strong sun, and consequently, we can’t upregulate protection so we don't burn.

Last, if I've been in the sun for several hours on the strongest UV days (close to the equator), and I sense that I might be pushing my limit, I simply use some common sense and get into the shade.



LK says… “We glorify obesity”... Critics Come Out 

LK upsets the obese population. Nope, not sorry. Wonder what they’re gonna say about the one that drops Wednesday “We glorify depression?” For full context, here is the piece “You Are Never Enough”…

Liver King's Instagram profile picture
The ancients glorified perfection...

We glorify obesity.

The ancients’ advanced ideals of strength, courage, and honor...

We advance ideals of acceptance, compassion, and agreeableness…

The ancients singled out and celebrated the evolutionary hunter...

We indiscriminately celebrate everything and everyone...

The ancients were harder to hurt and harder to kill.

We are easy to hurt and easy to kill (suffering at record rates).

The ancients dominated.

We are being dominated.

The ancients had a belief system… to fucking strive... to never settle... to be more... every goddam day!

We have a belief system... to stand in line, wait your turn... to settle... to be less... every goddam day!

I’ll say it again... you are never enough, and never will be... so strive every goddam day and you’ll never be more fulfilled in life.

In the modern world, we meet and greet with a soft, limp, delicate “shaking” of hands…

In ancient times, whoever overpowered the other was said to have the “upper hand”... it was implied that “I’m the boss, and you’re the bitch for the day.”

Today, If the pressure match isn’t just right, whoever overpowered the other is said to be overly aggressive and impolite...

I am Liver King... a savage barbarian beast
, double-fisting battle axes... running up the mountain to no end. I stand 5’7” at the horizon, and this week, I descend with 192 lbs of force and flesh upon our earth — there's a reason the giraffe is not the King of the jungle.

‍LIVER KING’S SUBPRIMAL VS PRIMAL THIS WEEK

The Nine Ancestral Tenets are the forces that shaped our ancestors to become the baddest mammalian predators that ever lived… they still work today so that we can be healthy, happy, strong, and robust.

  • Sleep... subprimal — feeling this… fractured AF sleep. Docs say it’s post-concussion 
  • Eat... primal AF
  • Move... primal AF — back to doing all workouts (without jerking motions… because the eye might pop out), including the push-up diet and Barbarians… 
  • Shield... primal, even wearing eye protection
  • Connect... primal
  • Cold... primal — headed for another cold plunge date with Queen right after this.
  • Sun... primal 
  • Fight... primal AF
  • Bond... primal AF
  • Fun... primal AF — make it a fucking party… that’s why it’s called “life”

Want more Liver King stats, or if young "Primals wanna know," MOOOAR, post in the comments section below where I address common questions and criticisms like:



LIVER KING RECOVERY INDICATORS THIS WEEK

  • Heart Rate Variability (HRV): had my highest reading in months this past Thur
  • Resting Heart Rate (RHR): it’s a shit show… same
  • Perceived Exertion: make it fucking hell
  • Grip Strength: Zangief vs LK
  • Glucose/Blood Sugar: 78
  • Ketones: didn’t measure this past two weeks



LIVER KING MEASUREMENTS THIS WEEK

* No measurements this week except weight

  • Weight: 192 lbs
  • Body Fat: shredded and vascular AF
  • Roman Chest Plate: chiseled
  • Arms: dangerously strong pummeling power
  • Waist: six-pack centerpiece, (maintenance on the Liver King ab implants) and six-pack supplement: murder medley). 
  • Legs: need another Smolov cycle… surgeon says NO.

Liver King Workout Updates For The Week

LIVER KING LIFTS THIS WEEK

* No maxes attempt this week just max fucking effort

  • Strict press: worked up to heavy 225. Finally seeing progress here again.
  • Deadlift: DNA
  • Squat: closed out current squat cycle w/ a heavy single w/ 515 
  • Bench: overloaded shoulders instead.
  • Six Pack Centerpiece: DNA Liver King's 30-push ups every 30-minute diet and DNA  supplemental w/ Murder Medlies on Wed and Sat... heavy unilateral KB carries, yokeyolk carries, and Barbarians, which develop the fundamental building blocks for a strong AF and shredded core... gotta maintain those Liver King ab implants because “life just ain’t worth living Primals, without a pump and a centerpiece six pack.” Let’s see what happens!!

LIVER KING CHEF’S “LIONS DEN” – LIVER KING DIET FOR THE WEEK

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner back on track with the usual treatment: always getting down on the raw liver, and full sending the raw bone marrow (the red variety for rich stem cell support)... and of course, a full pound of fresh, raw bull testicles/day (since Jan 2nd… yes, still onnit!). Fresh blood, and fresh cream and colostrum when out at LK Ranch. See more on Liver King diet.

  • Breakfast: raw, shell-on, fertilized eggs from Liver King Ranch... Liver Queen's fermented cream, and whatever else LK Chef Lionel puts out for me in addition to the usual stack: Liver King Supplements... Liver King Whole Feast Protein, Liver King Bar, and of course, KING
  • Lunch: a bone-in piece of red meat, black coffee, and my usual staples... Whole Feast Protein, Liver King Bar, and KING. I won’t write this every week but I’ll say it again for everyone in the back… raw Liver, raw Testicles and raw Bone Marrow remain on the menu with all meals. 
  • Dinner: More crispy duck, and the usual: a delicious pound of cooked carnivore carcass (ribeyes, bone-in strips, bone-in ribs, beef cheeks, tongue, cheese beast burgers made with liver, heart, pancreas, spleen, kidney, and a little bit of muscle meat), testicle ceviche. Not just for the kiddos… back on the carbs (primal rice, sweet potatoes, Paul Bunyan's maple syrup, and sorghum syrup), and once again, my primal AF staples... Whole Feast Protein, Liver King Bar, and KING.
  • Recents: recent additions as of late have been eyeballs, upped the red Bone Marrow game, and still planning on running Sorghum syrup as a whole food source of carbs (restarting this next week) and running DHT experiments (for MOOOAR!). Anything and everything food-related that’s a 5-alpha agonist is being selected for. 



LIVER KING’S DAILY SNACKS THIS WEEK:

  • MOOOOAR!... 5 eyeballs/day
  • A cigar in the afternoons (against doctor’s orders), sometimes paired with a Primal Scotch (always earned)
  • 30-push ups every 30 minutes

  • 1000+ band pull-aparts and/or several hundred face pulls – wearing eye protection



LIVER KING "NATTY" STATUS THIS WEEK

For their safety, I won’t be saying what or where but it will be a grand adventure and a great test.. To apply what I’ve taught them, affirm their own value, and grow

LIVER KING — THE HUSBAND…

Liver King’s Eye Injury Healing & Full Recovery Protocol

Still working it out... at first, I could only attach a 45 pound plate to my eyelid for heavy triples… I’ve worked my way up to double the weight, and double the reps. Yes, this is a joke. 

The list is long, and I can’t overstate the critical nature of leaning into all of the 9 Ancestral Tenets.


Want the healing protocol?

Turns out that this healing protocol can be applied to virtually any injury. To state the obvious, I aint’ no cave doctor, and this sure as shit ain’t medical advice.

I’ve recently included grip strength programming…

Actually, I’m mechanically loading the eye with varying distances, varying angles, varying focal points, and light/dark variations.

  • Deadlift: DNA
  • Squat: closed out current squat cycle w/ a heavy single w/ 515

LIVER KING CHEF’S “LIONS DEN” – LIVER KING DIET FOR THE WEEK

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner back on track with the usual treatment: always getting down on the raw liver, and full sending the raw bone marrow (the red variety for rich stem cell support)... and of course, a full pound of fresh, raw bull testicles/day (since Jan 2nd… yes, still onnit!). Fresh blood, and fresh cream and colostrum when out at LK Ranch. See more on Liver King diet.

  • Breakfast: raw, shell-on, fertilized eggs from Liver King Ranch... Liver Queen's fermented cream, and whatever else LK Chef Lionel puts out for me in addition to the usual stack: Liver King Supplements... Liver King Whole Feast Protein, Liver King Bar, and of course, KING
  • Lunch: a bone-in piece of red meat, black coffee, and my usual staples... Whole Feast Protein, Liver King Bar, and KING. I won’t write this every week but I’ll say it again for everyone in the back… raw Liver, raw Testicles and raw Bone Marrow remain on the menu with all meals. 
  • Dinner: More crispy duck, and the usual: a delicious pound of cooked carnivore carcass (ribeyes, bone-in strips, bone-in ribs, beef cheeks, tongue, cheese beast burgers made with liver, heart, pancreas, spleen, kidney, and a little bit of muscle meat), testicle ceviche. Not just for the kiddos… back on the carbs (primal rice, sweet potatoes, Paul Bunyan's maple syrup, and sorghum syrup), and once again, my primal AF staples... Whole Feast Protein, Liver King Bar, and KING.
  • Recents: recent additions as of late have been eyeballs, upped the red Bone Marrow game, and still planning on running Sorghum syrup as a whole food source of carbs (restarting this next week) and running DHT experiments (for MOOOAR!). Anything and everything food-related that’s a 5-alpha agonist is being selected for. 



LIVER KING’S DAILY SNACKS THIS WEEK:

  • MOOOOAR!... 5 eyeballs/day
  • A cigar in the afternoons (against doctor’s orders), sometimes paired with a Primal Scotch (always earned)
  • 30-push ups every 30 minutes
  • 300-knuckle push-ups bf dinner (under the sun, connected to the earth)
  • 1000+ band pull-aparts and/or several hundred face pulls – wearing eye protection



LIVER KING "NATTY" STATUS THIS WEEK

LK officially on HRT tech… 

How is Liver King feeling since getting back on…  last week was feeling like 3 outta 10. This week feeling like 6 outta 10. LIkely concussion related. Good! There’s opportunity to dominate.

Liver King’s WHYs

‍I always start my day with WHY to align my actions and maximize my efforts. Here's an update on my 4 WHYs...

LIVER KING — THE DAD

Liver King's sons traveling the world


Sending my boys on a journey
across the globe to see how they navigate problems.

“It’s my job to challenge you… to put obstacles in your way, and teach you how to think of 126 ways to solve for any problem… To aim high… to know your WHYs… to take massive fucking action to strive and earn as you become self-made Kings!

For their safety, I won’t be saying what or where but it will be a grand adventure and a great test.. To apply what I’ve taught them, affirm their own value, and grow

LIVER KING — THE HUSBAND…

Liver King Introduces “Subprimal Steve” to World

I'm proud AF to say I led... myself, my boys, my Queen, and my professional teams, connecting and affirming my people/tribe with our WHY in the world, and with such worth and potential that they see it in themselves and express a higher form. All while CEO’ing my Tip of the Spear Companies, it’s called “strive mother fucker, strive!”
