My Full Looksmaxxing Protocol To Look Better Than 99% of Men
Main summary
Key takeaways
Key ideas & wellness/productivity strategies (natural “looksmaxing” for long-term attractiveness)
0) Avoid harmful “shortcuts” (health-first framing)
- Critiques the looksmaxing subculture for promoting potentially risky or health-damaging interventions, including:
- PEDs/steroids/TRT (even discussed at very young ages)
- Peptides (concern about potential cancer risk)
- Aggressive “bone smashing,” surgeries, jaw implants
- Emphasizes long-term health and longevity over short-term appearance hacks.
1) Nutrition for face/jaw development and overall attractiveness
Core foods & targets
-
Red meat as a foundation
- Claims vitamin K2 (menaquinone) supports healthy growth and face/jaw development when adequate during childhood.
- Highlights heme iron for oxygen transport (energy/blood flow) and bioavailable protein for muscle.
- Protein target suggestion: 0.8–1 g protein per pound of body weight.
-
Eggs
- Suggested intake: 2–4 eggs/day
- Recommends yolk + white (yolk not discarded) for better protein bioavailability.
- Prefers pasture-raised/organic, ideally corn/soy-free.
- Quality cues:
- Thick/mucousy egg white
- Standing-tall yolk
-
Liver (for micronutrients)
- Suggested for vitamin A (retinol) and additional minerals.
- Claims liver supports hair/skin/nail health and wound healing.
-
Collagen / glycine for connective tissue
- Advises adding collagen (powder or connective tissue/bones/tendons).
- Notes glycine needs may be higher than natural production; collagen is framed as supporting collagen-related amino acid supply (including pathways tied to glutathione).
Supplement/ingredient emphasis
- Vitamin K2 (menaquinone): red meat, eggs, liver
- Choline (eggs): supports bone and brain development
- Vitamin A (retinol): eggs or liver
- Copper balance (from liver): described as supporting enzymes and collagen/melanin pathways
2) Strength training for body shape (muscle-driven attractiveness)
Main workouts
-
Pull-ups
- Prescription:
- Men: 50 pull-ups/day
- Women: 15–20 pull-ups/day (assisted if needed)
- Emphasizes full-extension, form-based pull-ups.
- If splitting throughout the day: break into sets (e.g., 5×10).
- Framed benefit: stronger upper body/shoulders/back for a “V” shape.
- Prescription:
-
Leg raises for abs/core
- Says abs are made in the kitchen (diet), but highlights exercises such as:
- Leg raises (knees allowed)
- Suggested volume: about 60 leg raises at least a couple times/day (as described).
- Says abs are made in the kitchen (diet), but highlights exercises such as:
Cardio perspective
- Acknowledges cardio can be beneficial (mentions BDNF), but prioritizes:
- higher basal metabolism via muscle gain, not just fat loss
3) Morning light exposure (circadian + skin/hormones/hair support)
Morning routine
- Get outdoor morning sunlight soon after waking:
- Within 30–60 minutes of sunrise/awakening (timing depends by latitude)
- Avoid sunglasses in the morning to deliver bright light into the eyes.
- Suggested duration mentioned: 10–15 minutes.
Claimed benefits
- Helps entrain circadian rhythm (superchiasmatic nucleus → melatonin timing at night)
- Improves sleep depth
- Supports early-morning testosterone peak (for men and women)
- Mentions red/infrared wavelengths for:
- potential wrinkle reduction
- improved collagen production
- possible scalp/hair benefits (by analogy to red-light devices)
“Hack” option
- Use infrared/red light panels if you can’t get outdoor sunlight.
4) Chewing for jaw masseter development (mastic gum / tougher foods)
Jaw strategy
-
Mastic gum (plant sap gum) chewing
- Chew to increase masseter muscle strength/thickness.
- Claims stronger muscle pulling on bone may encourage jaw bone growth/structure over time.
-
Alternative approach
- Chew tougher steaks (cheaper), or chew gum occasionally if preferring tender meat.
5) Mouth closure during sleep: mouth taping + posture
Primary technique: mouth taping at night
- Mouth taping to keep the mouth closed
- Example product: 3M Nexcare tape (hypoallergenic; described as about ~$7)
- Application: vertically across the mouth; secure below the chin
- Allows breathing “through the sides” if needed for comfort
Rationale / claimed mechanism
- Prevents mouth-breathing → reduces midface atrophy risk
- Supports tongue posture on the roof of the mouth (“mewing” concept)
- Encourages nasal breathing during sleep
- Nasal breathing + closed mouth framed as increasing nitric oxide (vasodilation/airway benefits)
Sleep posture guidance
- Suggests sleeping on your side rather than on your back:
- side-sleeping helps keep tongue on palate and reduces mouth opening
- Mentions nightly breathing frequency (4,000–6,000 breaths) as part of the reason this matters.
6) Health & fertility framing (motivation)
- Repeats the theme that attractiveness functions as a fertility/health signal.
- Encourages sustainable methods:
- “Don’t go down the root of shortcuts” (avoid peptides/steroids/TRT/surgery/Accutane-type approaches)
- Positions testimonials about natural improvement as more sustainable long-term.
