A 14,324 kg leg session shows what tonnage misses: the bodyweight lunges supplied 22% of the reps and none of the recorded load. It was also the first session actually run in daylight — with no sleep data yet, and a second variable started the same day.
A model can get promoted without receiving a single new weight — just a token, a runtime, and permission to spawn workers. Amodei is right that time is worth buying.
Day 5 of the protocol: nineteen sets, 14,390 kg, and the first week of the protocol doing what it was supposed to do.
All three of my coding agents are capped, so this week runs on my own head. The research says the break is overdue: used the default way, AI makes the work easier and you worse at it.
ETH Zurich had 100 students build apps by prompt alone. Computer science knowledge predicted results best, writing skill added its own share, and frequent LLM users scored lower.
Codex mid-task, Claude mid-loop, Grok on every review, all inside one day. Two limits came with a percentage and a reset time, one with a status code. The silence around all three was the bug.
A full year of running my kids’ days. Two builders in training, grades at the ceiling, and an afternoon they earned.
Legs and arms in numbers, 102.0 kg on waking, 120/86 on the cuff, a puffy face under watch, and finer syringes on the way from TRT Colombia.
Thirteen weeks start with a printed sheet, a working kitchen, and 26 recorded sets. Monday is on the record. Tuesday is legs.
Three coding assistants, one desk. Same notes, same rules, same review path — and still no bake-off.
Months of preparation, and every piece lands on the same morning. Tomorrow, 7 September 2026, MONSTER 2.0 starts. Then I do what Dorian Yates did: disappear, and come back when the work is done.
I added Grok Build alongside Claude Code and Codex: Grok 4.6, maximum reasoning, automatic approvals, and fixes that make the setup work.
