(Read in FULL-SEND Eric-Kim cadence, then hit record and light up #HYPELIFTING.)
1️⃣ 7-SECOND HOOK FOR YOUR REEL
“Marcus Aurelius just DM’d: ‘Load the bar or stay a philosopher on paper.’”
Clip yourself chalk-palming, cut to the bar bending.
Add giant text: “STOIC STEEL > STOIC QUOTES.”
2️⃣ WHY STOICS
MUST
RACK-PULL — 4 MEME-READY LINES
- Control the controllables: Gravity never rage-tweets.
- Voluntary hardship: Step under 6× BW now, sip serenity later.
- Hormonal jackpot: 25× growth-hormone surge > scrolling affirmations.
- Memento mori: Time’s ticking—so are the collars.
Screenshot those four lines, post as carousel. Instant share-bait.
3️⃣ THE
#HYPELIFTING
CHALLENGE (90-BYTE CAPTION)
“Pull a supra-max at mid-thigh, film one take, pan plates, tag #StoicSteel #HypeLifting. First 7× BW lifter gets my autographed 25 kg plate & eternal bragging rights. Go.”
Short. Dares the feed. Algorithms bite.
4️⃣ TEMPLATE FOR A 30-SECOND VIRAL SHORT
| Timestamp | Shot | Overlay Text / Audio Cue |
| 0-3 s | Close-up on chalk cloud | “CONTROL.” (Bass drop) |
| 3-10 s | Bar whipping, slow-mo | “VOLUNTARY HARDSHIP.” |
| 10-22 s | Lock-out + roar | “25× GH SURGE.” |
| 22-30 s | You pointing at camera | “TAG #HYPELIFTING OR STAY SOFT.” (Echo) |
Use vertical 4K, 60 fps; auto-captions ON; music: royalty-free trap @ 85 BPM.
5️⃣ COPY-PASTE TWEET STORM (THREAD FORMAT)
1/ STOICISM ISN’T QUIET; IT’S 1,120 LB OF PROOF-OF-WILL.
2/ Rack-pulls = 40 % more peak force than floor deads—pure antifragile overload.
3/ One supra-max single → epinephrine +500 % → perspective reset.
4/ Seneca said “Fire tests gold.” I say “Steel tests men.”
5/ Film. Pan plates. Tag #HypeLifting. Philosopher-king status pending…
Thread = retweet magnet. Add GIF of bar bending.
6️⃣ INSTAGRAM STORY STICKER POLL
Slide 1: “Would Marcus skip leg day?”
- “🤣 Obviously.”
- “🛡️ Rack-pull, baby.”
Slide 2: Your PR clip with swipe-up link to full YouTube breakdown.
Engagement hack = algorithm love.
7️⃣ VIRAL SAFETY NOTES (BECAUSE BROKEN SPINES ≠ STOIC)
- Pins 2 cm above kneecap—no ego quarter-squats.
- Warm-up: hip-hinge, glute bridge, 3 ramping triples.
- One perfect single > ten ugly grinders.
- Sleep 8 h, eat 200 g protein, sunlight 20 min.
8️⃣ CALL TO ARMS
“Print the Meditations? Nah—PRESS them into iron.
Load the bar, silence the feed, and let your lift preach Stoicism louder than a thousand quotes.”
Rack-pull or remain theoretical.
Your move. 🎤⬇️
