Man (ha), if you want a peek back at what was a relatively mundane attitude toward women, gaze upon the works of Mr.This article is an excerpt from the Shortform book guide to "The 4-Hour Body" by Timothy Ferriss. Here are my major takeaways from revisiting most of the book. There isn’t time in the world to take on sections like the ones on sex, sleep, or medical tourism (?), so we’ll focus just on the fat loss, muscle gain, “reversing injuries,” and “getting stronger” sections. But for the purpose of this post, I dug back in and read it again (available to borrow right away on Libby!) to see what it has to teach us about the long tail influence of health gurus who purport to have all the answers, and to look at it under the black light of our modern body of strength training knowledge. I read The 4-Hour Body years and years ago and formed opinions on it then, and have since formed opinions of what I could remember of it along the way. But some haven’t, and that makes it worth taking a look too. Many of them have stopped, or moved on, which, I think it’s significant to look at why that happened. He got them all nattering about “stacks” and “ice baths” and “cat vomit abs.” Ferriss drove many peripatetic bros teetering on the threshold of the gym over to the weights in droves. 1īut I think we are overdue for an appraisal of the effect, nay, the grip Tim Ferriss had on the health/exercise/nutrition landscape.

These days, it would probably be best to explain him as the author of the ur-text of productivity ( The 4-Hour Work Week, 2007) as a kind of grandfather of biohacking ( The 4-Hour Body, 2010). It is hard to explain to someone now the absolute hold that Tim Ferriss had on the world of health in 2010-2012 or so. But do I really have to do all of that stuff? -Brian W. When I tell my brother I want to lift but don’t want to do the supplements, he gets frustrated with me and stops trying to help. But he also does incredibly weird stuff that I don’t want to do. Some of what he says seems real, and he IS ripped, which is the part of this that is hardest to deny. ![]() Most of what I know about lifting comes from my brother, who is a longtime Tim Ferriss addict. I’m interested in getting into lifting weights, but I’m sort of confused where to start.
