Humans are infinitely tougher than most chickens might suppose. Walk into most Western clinics and the rooms are filled with candy asses with very little wrong other than no exercise, bad food choices, and a propensity to be pussycats. Mostly, the issues are lifestyle diseases or a working environment where malingering gains financial reward.

They seem to be unable to do anything, even in the age where internet work is possible. They love to be pensioners, puds, and grifters looking to you to support their unwillingness to get off their ass.

Then there are the hard cases, where keshig live. We all know them when we meet them because they may have egregious disabilities and magnificent health challenges, but press on to create a life with impact. We love these cases of the potential that can be achieved through sheer force of character. It’s enobling and badass.

In a recent case from Thailand, an older dude just had an Xray showing 42 bullets in his chest from the Vietnam War. Talk about a tough dude, 42 bullets, worked his whole life, and could make 50 Cent (with 9 slugs) look like whiner. FFS, I know a gal that says she can’t work for 3 years because she had a C section.

There is tough, Keshig tough, and “the other guys.”

If you are into functional fitness, you may notice this all the time. When I worked as a bouncer, the guys we were least worried about were buff as they spent most of their time in an air conditioned gym pushing around steel without enough cardio to service their yard. If you want real fitness and strength, take a look a Convict Conditioning by Paul Wade and you will see how Keshig train, and it sure the fuck isn’t to look good. Strength, speed, and explosive movements win in life. Don’t be all show and no go.

Just like the weiners taking photos in their uniforms, looking snappy and all with stellar haircuts. They don’t have a history of winning wars, quite the opposite, they are all dressed with no imagination. Then they think they should be led by someone with a baloney bachelors degree. Degrees mean nothing. Want counts is what you can do, and more importantly what you will do.

The Terrorist uniform is identified by no uniform and shit for snappy photos. Most don’t bath much and shaving is not a thing. They just had motivation and an intense will to win. If you want to win anything, forget the sugar coating, degrees, funny uniforms, and sick call. Just get your ass into the fight and don’t give up.

Do a max set of push ups RFN because you know winning in life has everything to do with how much you put into it, not how much you dress up for it.

Jumping rope is a fantastic way to get at fitness because it’s bilateral, portable, and demanding. Seems a bubba just dropped 80 pounds from swinging a string.

Jumping rope also builds speed and coordination, one of the many reasons Keshig love jump rope. Mixing jump rope with 8 count body builders can chisel you like Michelangelo and give you lasting power in a fight or in the sheets.

Most folks are masters of making excuses to avoid exercise. A jump rope in your daily backpack offers immediate access to self improvement.

Of course, this requires discipline and action. Personally I enjoy jumping rope when the smokers hit the gazebo on their breaks. Nothing provides me giggles as much as watching smokers hacking in the fresh air while I rip through 5 minutes of rope. They buy cancer, Keshig buy time.

My suspicion is that people not doing anything with their lives enjoy self defeating behaviors. Savage Keshig competitors enjoy seizing every possible advantage.

Check out another bilateral activity - mountain crawling. This 70 year old guy from China could give a relay of Gen Z coach commandos a run for their money. 

The Keshig rule is that if you want something, you need to take action and do something, because only then will you get something. Jumping rope or climbing a mountain path all comes back to discipline.

Consistent performance over time yields results in health and business.  

Keshig believe we can buy time by using our time wisely.

If you want to live better, longer, and smarter, do 8 count body builders and jump rope. About two years ago I got sepsis and was mostly dead from having heart attacks. After I came out from the dark side, my cardiologists all said the same thing — without all that exercise “you would certainly have died.”

Life is fun if you are doing it right, so why not take steps to get more of it. 

Do a max round of jump rope followed by 8 counts RFN. As the poisons leave your body and you are gasping for oxygen, think about the sloths surrounding you and smile. It pays to be a winner.

The funny thing about Keshig success is that it elicits envy and grift from lazy chickens. Chickens have small heads, limited thoughts, and make lots of noise. I was recently asked by some young Keshig Nation folks how to deal with the grifters in life from family to business.

Step one in success is to separate the chickens from the producers. Producers have a purpose, some type of skill mastery (or pursuing it), and a degree of autonomy from pulling their own sled in life. Conversely, chickens follow a different formula that one must understand in order to navigate around them. Here is how chickens view the world:

1. First, chickens look for somebody that has more resources than they do. They are not smart, just manipulators doing target selection. This is generally done while sitting on their ass drinking a cold one.

2. Chickens then make up stories that the Keshig bubba is just “lucky” and they deserve Keshig resources.

3. Chickens will further spend vast amounts of time sitting on their ass, playing video games, watching sports/news, drinking, and generally doing nothing other than dreaming up some bullshit story or scam to demand your resources. At no point will a chicken work hard or improve himself.

   1. Note: The grift often involves bullshit medical problems easily resolved. The guy with  bad back can learn how to work online, the hypertensive can take a pill.

4. Chickens will then come to you with their bullshit story and self righteously demand resources or present some sob story. It will never include them working hard or studying.

5. Chickens will close by telling you how lucky you have been, what a great guy (mom, dad, brother, sister, friend) you would be if you only gave them your resources for their silly plan they will never complete. When angered they will call you arrogant and selfish. And no point will they mention hard work or studying. Mostly they discuss quality of life or disabilities.

6. Chickens will have an incredible fictional story about themselves… about how hard they have worked, what great people they are, how they did everything themselves, and how they just got unlucky/were discriminated against/cheated by the system. Chickens have very high opinions of themselves, with their only “skill” being reproducing other chickens in their uninterrupted free time.

Of course, this is all chicken shit and should only be viewed as noise. If the chicken does not work hard, the best route to success includes them getting off their ass, putting down the bottle, getting a job, and studying. Giving chickens resources does not help them, it rewards bad behavior.

Former President Gerald Ford noted that “the harder I work, the luckier I get.”

Keshig do not support chickens over 13 years old or under 70 because it solves nothing. Teach a chicken, but don’t feed them.

The greatest charity for normative adults is modeling not being a chicken. Don’t feed a chicken, don’t help chickens buy property, don’t send money for their recreation, because this will only embolden them and creates learned helplessness. The rule of thumb is to “weed and feed” by helping hard workers, and leaving the chickens to extort someone else.

When hiring employees, marrying, or partnering in business, be careful to look for chicken behaviors. Once you have identified a chicken, quickly run away from them, as failure and scheming is all they will ever know.

Do a max set of pull ups RFN, because you know with certainty that you control your destiny through hard work, fitness, and study.

See a chicken, dump a chicken.

Much discussion about the Keshig stamp has been rolling in hot and heavy. Of course, only members subscribing to Keshig code of behaviors are authorized to have Keshig ink… FFS. If you want to wear ink of something you don’t execute, watch some dumb sport and buy their T-shirt with the rest of time wasters.

For those not in the know, Keshig are broken into 3 ranks: Probate, Credente, and Perfecti.

Probates

• Probates are just learning about the game, no ink, no obligation, just see if they got the grit.

Credente

• Credente are the folks that are able to follow the basic code of behaviors. They have been initiated by a Perfecti, and are authorized to wear the basic Keshig ink.

• Credente are also numbered according to lineage. If for example, you are Perfecti 61, 61-1 would be his mate, 61-1 to unlimited number, would be under that lineage. They are much like martial arts lineages. Authentic Perfecti have a very specific tattoo on their right forearm (males), or left (females).

Perfecti

• Perfecti are ALL IN for the Keshig way of behavior. They ain’t perfect, but they work hard at getting anti-fragile every day.

All of this is outlined in our Kindle Publication coming out in Spring 2024.

The HQ for Keshig ink is ALL DAY TATTOO in Bangkok. They have inked Keshig for years. This does not mean that they support all Keshig opinions or policies, it simply means they are best in the industry and we know the world. Khun Thum awaits your work, as he is the best we have seen.

Do a max set of 8 counts RFN because good ink is hard to find.

Some things in life are so fucking awesome that they have to be shared. The 8 count body is the most mobile badass exercise known to humans.

The king of exercises can be done anywhere that has the length and height of your body, from a submarine to a rat bag motel. It is a full body exercise that builds a broad number of muscles and increases cardiovascular function.

There is secret Keshig formula for anti-aging, physical performance, and dexterity that includes doing 1,000 a day in your 20s, 750 a day in your 30s, 500 a day in your 40s, 400 a day in your 50s, and 250 a day thereafter. It is best if you break them up into small sets throughout the day and keep them logged on your phone calendar.

If you are new to 8 counts, start with 10 every two hours until you hit your quota.

Here is a challenge for you that is certain to extend your life, improve your sexual performance, and make you much more lethal. In the next 60-days work up to your Keshig 8 count quota. Take your before and after picture. What you will find is that you will not only look better, but you will no longer be all show and no go.  

Descriptions of the 8 count are all over the internet.

The funny thing is, you lose all excuses — no more I missed the gym, I didn’t I have time, I didn’t have equipment. The only time you miss your quota is when you are hospitalized or more likely, lack the grit to do the necessary.

Last but not least, in our litigious world, get permission from your physician to engage in robust exercise, and use common sense.

Do a max set of 8 counts RFN because you have no real reason not to take positive action. Nothing will make you fit faster and easier than the 8 Count. Hail the king of exercises.

Question:

Digging the posts, but some of the vocabulary and citations are serious shit that most regular dudes may not know. Why is that shit in there?

Answer:

First of all, Keshig dig input and robust debate. No feelings ever get hurt, this is about being real.

Bottom line up front: 

I started life fatherless (thankfully, he was no loss) and a mother tougher than 10 men, went to vocational high school, worked in trades and ended up in the military. Through self discipline, relentless pursuit of self improvement, endless education, world travel, and thousands of mentors, I realized the following:

Common sense built the world and built America. Hard working middle class people know how the world works, they are the center mass, and they know dumb when they see it.

Most are too busy working, raising families and living life to deal with traveling around learning and reading a bunch of bullshit to find the theory that supports what they already know.

The silver spoon elites, lack the daily grind and hardships that build true awareness.  The elites look down upon what Hillary called the “deplorables.” We even have news channels for the elites and the unsophisticated masses. The elites sell aspirational bullshit and the extreme right wing sells religion and hyperbole.

The Keshig Protocol Substack is trying to provide academic ammo to the regular human, in order to disable bizarre elite and subculture ideas.  Regular folks need some vocabulary and current research to support their arguments, win the day, and rebuild the country / world. Keshig citations make the regular guy devastating in discussion.

In a recent example, we can talk about drug manufacturing moving off shore to China. You can bet your ass if you asked virtually any working person if that was a good idea, they would have said it’s stupid. Why let somebody else control critical life support medicine?

The elites made the argument that they would stimulate business, develop more drugs, and offer the drugs at lower cost.  Their profits would also be better manufacturing at low cost and selling at high cost.  To the elites, they can find many ways to get meds so it seemed like genius... For them.

Alas, it was exceptionally stupid, and the chickens are coming home to roost.

People grinding naturally have ground truth.  Ground truth makes you clever. Screaming on Fox News citing some silly conspiracy theory only divides.

We seek to unite with common core truths. We want stability, resilience, and the chance to make an honest buck. To do that, the regular human needs to up his game with more gouge. Keshig is handing him an electric Makita drill powered by elite data for the greater good.

We respect Joe Rogan, he is a curious human with regular guy perspective. We think highly of Jordan B Peterson with an intellectual insight. We are in the middle with regular guy clever and academic citations.

Keshig know the world doesn’t owe us anything other than a fair shot on an ever changing playing field. Like the working class around the world, Keshig execute tasks.

Do a max set of push ups RFN because real wealth is generated by MoFo’s grinding day in and day out.
