RISE is a 55-hour live event where men
come to be challenged across all
domains. Bullshit. You got to see it in
your eyes that most of you don't belong
here. I see IT IN YOUR EYES ALREADY.
YOUR
SOULS ARE MINE. HOLY SHIT.
I did not see that coming, Scott. How
ethical is this? Check out that price
tag. Oh, shit.
Hey folks, Dr. Mike here for RP
Strength. I have been known as many
things in my life.
Sexually confused, irrational,
pathetic,
but I have been one thing for sure, a
man, baby.
And the way I became a man was this.
I started out as a completely biological
female. Scott remembers this. He used to
hit on me all the time.
Shit taste.
I went to one male boot camp, and not
only did I become a man, but I became an
alpha man. And that's the only Greek
letter I'm interested in knowing.
What kind of boot camp experience did I
have? I'll tell you more about this in
today's episode as we look at the male
boot camp space, and see what part of it
is science and what part of it is just
people that maybe just need a friend.
Which I sure as shit do. Check this out.
Scott.
What? Will you be my friend?
Do I have to?
No. No? All right, let me think about
it. Let me take that episode to decide.
Okay.
We'll check in with Scott later.
Men have been raised to be weak and
feminine.
Definitely yes would out of 10. Lipstick
is hot.
Love me a short skirt and
um honestly those are just cute armpits.
Absolutely would.
I don't like these um
antagonistic posture Scott of the guy
all the way on the on the right. His
hair is amazing. The posture I don't
like so two out of three could get him.
>> It's very antagonistic.
I'm sure there's a lot of science
backing this one up. So what is the
answer? Scott, are we reviewing a man
who's reviewing a video? This is just a
little background for the folks.
Background for the folks. First science
question. Is it true that men have been
raised to be weak and feminine? No,
that's not true at all. Are men nowadays
being raised to be more civilized? Yeah,
probably.
Does that mean weak and feminine? I
don't know. Scott, are you you raised to
be weak and feminine? Was your dad like,
"Hey, I want you to play with these
dolls, god damn it." No, I think the
opposite. I was encouraged to like do
sports and throw rocks and stuff.
Yeah.
>> Around and be wild. Yeah. I grew up in
the '90s you could say so. Yeah.
>> a different time.
>> Yeah. When I was a little kid my mom
would rub my back. My dad walked by and
be like, "Ugh, you're making him soft."
So. That's funny. When your mom rubs my
back it doesn't make me all right.
Sometimes I forget WHERE WE'RE AT.
AND MY PARENTS DO WATCH these videos but
Oh no. Maybe not these ones.
>> This is this is how I apologize.
Is that what you said last night?
So what is the answer? Better fathers?
Nope. It's paying thousands of dollars
to larp as a Navy Seal and have other
men humiliate you. Well, that sounds
like our photo shoot from last night,
Scott. Oh no, sorry. Uh he said Navy
Seals. I had semen in the brain. And my
parents do watch these videos but
You'll become better friends, better
fathers, better leaders. They're stuck
in a rut. They've lost that fire.
They've lost that edge as a man.
>> I would follow that man anywhere.
I mean, he's got the voice. Scott, have
you ever taken someone not seriously
enough and then paid attention to how
thick their eyebrows were and instantly
recanted? Yeah, he's got like a white
Goggins vibe, I feel.
>> Yes. Yes. Check out that price tag. Oh,
shit.
I can't believe you didn't notice that
first.
Become more of a man.
Stay Jewish.
Easy choice. For 18,000, shit. Suffering
Oh my god, they're dragging that that
young man. They've lost that fire.
They've lost that edge as a man.
Suffering leads to those superpowers.
Suffering doesn't lead to superpowers.
Incrementally surmounting progressively
more difficult goals does.
In a boot camp like this, if you have
enough suffering that you overcome, not
just get bashed in the face with and
just feel a total loss of agency, which
me, typically being dragged through the
woods is not a high agency behavior.
If you feel empowered after a boot camp
like that, then if you take that
empowerment and you continue to thread
it into your life, where you attack your
career goals, you attack your lifting
goals, you attack your nutrition goals,
you attack females, I said that wrong,
ask nice girls out on dates,
yes, it can make you a better person.
So, if the boot camp is an empowering
but very difficult boot camp, yeah. If
it's just people making fun of you and
calling the R-word all the time and then
dragging you through the mud, that for
some people has a good effect, but for
most people it will be like a painful
memory of from which the toughness you
gained will recede mere weeks after
you're gone. It's the consistent keeping
up the training and
having battles that you sometimes lose
but mostly win. That's how you make
toughness. It starts off very loud,
chaotic, and violent. They're forced to
fight each other.
You know, you can pay way less money and
just join a BJJ or Muay Thai gym, build
an actual skill set, and uh works way
better, and there's plenty of fighting
where that came from.
Uh way more, actually. And you learn how
to fight instead of getting uh the shit
beat out of you by random dudes. In June
of 2020, a participant died during a
session, and his family sued for
wrongful death, alleging a failure to
provide necessary medical care. Though,
the parties settled a few years later.
Holy shit.
Like, that does happen every now and
again from hard training. Uh you know,
people have heart attacks randomly from
congenital defects and just like weight
training by themselves in their garage.
I don't know the details of this case.
It's fucked up, but I don't think we're
just going to be able to blanket say
like it's boot camps are just killing
people left and right. One case doesn't
prove a whole lot. The project is is
works beyond us. It's It's right. I
mean, we'd all agree. There's something
divine about the project.
>> That's it. We're doing We're doing God's
work in a in a strange way.
Okay.
God's like,
I'll be able to save some children in
Africa today,
but I have to look over this boot camp.
So, sorry, African children. You're on
your own.
The project costs $18,000. 37 people at
$18,000 each equals $666,000
in revenue. Scott, we're in the wrong
business. Listen, we can start a boot
camp tomorrow.
Can you imagine that we hire people to
be coaches and we hire RP Hypertrophy
app removes all uncertainty and makes
the training process precisely defined.
Choose your premium workout plan from
dozens available in the app, plug in
your weights, and the app takes care of
the rest for months of productive
training. Ready? Click on the link in
the description of this video to get
started. We're going to see you guys
that most of you don't belong here. I Do
I get a refund then?
And I'll be damned. I'LL TAKE THIS KNIFE
OFF MY
WAIST AND CARVE THIS TATTOO OFF MY
FUCKING HEAD BEFORE THAT IDIOT
WOAH, HE'S REALLY GETTING after it. This
guy's the fucking man, bro.
And he's wearing a knife on himself.
Intense. STOP HERE. I'M FIGHTING FOR
GRADUATION. I SEE YOUR FUCKING EYES
ALREADY. YOUR
FUCKING SOULS ARE MINE.
TO ME THAT SEEMS SLIGHTLY DISEMPOWERING.
I guess when you like get shit on and
then you don't break or if you break and
pick yourself up again and motivate
yourself again and you're with your
buddies and you have some camaraderie.
After that camp you can feel like I
fucking survived. I'm a real man. That
guy's got definitely got some value to
it for sure, for sure. What you don't
want is to have that camp prove to you
that you suck. It's like everyone kind
of did better than you at camp. You like
had five emotional breakdowns. The coach
mostly yelled at you and because you
paid $18,000 and you didn't literally
die, he has to give you an award for
completing the camp at the end. That
would be a not great way to experience
that. Um, yeah.
When they quit they're forced to ring
the bell in front of everyone. No
refund. Oh, cool. That's like the Navy
SEALs do.
I did not see that coming, Scott. How
ethical is this?
Do they know about our sex life, me and
you?
Woah, cool. I usually have to pay a 780
lb dominatrix, a significant amount more
than $18,000,
to get this exact thing done. Um, it's a
good deal. And now we've reached the
point where this alpha male boot camp
becomes a kink fetish fantasy for these
military bros. Pause. And what's wrong
with that?
Also, isn't it a kink fetish fantasy for
the people paying? And again, what's
wrong with that? You're going to start
to judge people's kinks? People are
going to hack your laptop. All of a
sudden, turns out you're fucking weirder
than everyone else.
Stop moving. I'm pulling you back down
again.
Oh, cool. So, they're supposed to try
crawl up the hill, Scott, and this young
gentleman pulls them back down? Yes.
Reminds me of my summer camp experience.
Less people
physically defecating on others than I
had experienced in summer camp.
Less forcing me to eat it while everyone
laughed.
Am I traumatized?
Stop moving, and I'm going to pull you
down the hill.
That guy's job's hard, man. I don't want
to drag people around all day. These
boot camp people are earning their
money. I'll give them that.
That would scratch you.
If you stop moving, you're coming back
down the hill.
The dirt.
Oh, community service, decluttering.
Scott,
remember when you and I signed up for a
boot camp and we got to wear matching
T-shirts and do community service, and
then 3 years later we realized we were
in a religious cult?
It was a fun time, though.
>> It was a good time. A lot of long hair
and moo-moos.
The leader was great, the best person
ever. Folks, I have two offers for you
real quick. The first is our members
area, which is a longer uncut version of
this video and a ton of other amazing
scientific content for very little
money, huge value. Check it out, click
around, sign up for the membership if
that's up your alley. The second offer
is we are starting an RP psycho boot
camp where you could die or become a
real man.
Um click around and find out what that
is. Here's there's no money back
guarantee and you waive all of your
rights right up front. See you there.
Back to the video. RISE is a 55-hour
live event. Holy shit.
Where men come to be challenged across
all domains.
Bullshit. Scott, how many inter girl
stuff do you think they're fucking
doing?
Like this is called differential
equations. Like well, this really is all
domains. Next up, poetry. They cannot go
back to life the way they knew it
because they are a different man. That's
dope. If the shit hits, this actually
works, fellas. This can fuck you up.
This can really get into something.
It's got to be the right match for the
individual and the coaching style and
everything and it's got to be starting
from demeaning the shit out of you and
then gradually empowering you. If they
do that right, this can be a
transformative experience.
The opportunity to have men that they
bled with, that they were tired and
hungry and wet and cold with and and
then
sharing all of those pains, the bond
that gets created in event like this is
unlike any other. So, the true sense of
the word brotherhood it it it really
means something different. Who are you?
My name is Aiden.
I am a man. I am a man.
Did you believe that? Yeah, yeah, no.
Gender-affirming practice.
Dude, their balls are gone, bro.
That sucks.
Fight!
I'm a warrior.
Fight! 1 2 3 Fight!
I'm a warrior. 1 2 3
I'm a warrior. 1 2 3
I'm Aiden. I'm a man of a warrior.
That's cool. Aiden gets the assignment.
This is dope. The way to defense
represents
everything you've carried
to this point.
Everything that has been
>> Damn, that guy's helping. That's nice.
placed upon your heart, placed upon your
body, placed in your mind
as a weight
that you've had to shoulder, that you've
had to burden
all these years. Something we have to
consider is that the weight on our
shoulders
is something that we carry, but yet how
many other people outside of us, around
us, see it.
Mike, what do you feel about physical
events as metaphors?
Limited in effect.
Uh That's dope. I love the metaphor. The
thing is like it cuz going to feel cool
for like the 10 minutes that he says
that to you when you're doing the shit.
It probably won't be something that
meaningfully changes your life later cuz
here's the thing, all the shit you're
carrying, there's nothing a weekend of
anything can do to delete all that shit
out of your head. You're going to still
be carrying basically the same amount of
shit. It's long-term lifestyle
transformation to harden up that will
make you more empowered. It's uh it's
getting into combat sports, getting into
lifting, it's getting into a tough
career. Here's something to man you up,
raising a family properly. Nothing
fucking put hair on your chest like
raising a goddamn bunch of kids. That
shit's tougher than any of this shit.
And so if you do that diligently over
years, you will become a man and you
will shed most of your demons. You know,
weekend, could be a cool kickstart, but
for many people it won't be as effective
as they hope. For many people, it will
absolutely be transformative.
These camps work for some people.
And I think the vast majority of the
folks that run these camps are really
good people trying to help other men in
the way they know best, which is to give
men profoundly difficult experiences,
break down everything in your brain that
is resisting anything, build you back
up, show you that you are capable of
unreal
amounts of pain tolerance and survival.
And show you you are capable of
surmounting.
Does it always work out like that?
Absolutely not. Is a lot of this
gigantic fucking waste of time and
money? Yeah, there's people running boot
camps that have no fucking business
doing it.
Especially if some of the folks running
it are ex-special forces.
And if they have a plan for how to
really build you up after they break you
down, could be a good thing. Is it worth
$18,000? That is for you to decide, but
the only thing I have as advice for the
rest of this video is
it's
the boot camp can kick you into high
gear.
What's really, really important is that
you continue to progressively challenge
yourself over time. That doesn't mean
beat the shit out of yourself. That
doesn't mean insult yourself. Be gentle
with yourself. Be patient. Be kind. Put
in the work. You get tired, rest. Come
back, put in the work. And over time,
whatever it is you're working on,
anything in your life that you're
working on, it's the progressive
exposure of doing more and more and more
harder stuff that makes you really
tough. There's not a goddamn thing you
can do in 3 days that's going to make
you tough forever, but there is a light
at the end of the tunnel you can see to
how to get tough, which exactly that,
progressive overload and becoming
better. That's it. I rate boot camps as
a good for some people, terrible for
some people out of 12.
I've been Dr. Mike, and I'll see you
next time.
Woo!
That was really uh
it's really something.
But, you want more, don't you? This
video right here has got exactly what
you need. How did I know that? Just
watch. You messed up.
