I Thought This Technology Was Total Bullshit.

Then I gained 25 lbs of muscle and qualified for the Ironman World Championships in Kona by training 15 minutes a week.

Look, I've been a "performance" guy since my first cross-country meet in 6th grade. I finished my first Ironman at 19. For ten years, I believed that elite results required an elite amount of suffering—meaning more volume, more miles, and more grinding hours in the gym.

By 29, I was falling apart. I was 165 lbs soaking wet, constantly dealing with injuries, and walking around with testosterone levels in the 300s. I had the cardiovascular engine of an athlete, but the internal biology of a 70-year-old man.

The Skeptic's Discovery

In January 2020, I found ARX. I was hyper-skeptical. I'd only ever done cardio and had zero interest in strength training. The idea that a 15-minute "computer workout" once a week could build actual tissue sounded like a total scam to me.

I spent the next two years trying to prove it wrong. I failed.

June 2021: I qualified for Kona (the Ironman World Championships).
February 2022: I ran a 2:59 marathon.
Today: I'm 35, living here in Miami, and I'm 190 lbs of actual, functional muscle. My bloodwork's optimal now—testosterone more than doubled.

I didn't get here by grinding. I got here by doing less—better.

Why the "Colorado Experiment" DIY Plan Usually Stalls

I saw the chat talking about running the Colorado Experiment and the 4-Hour Body protocol. It's a legendary protocol, but 1970s iron has a massive flaw: Neural Inefficiency.

If you walk into a gym stressed from work or a flight, your nervous system is "clamped." You can't recruit the muscle fibers necessary to actually trigger the 34 lb muscle-gain signal Ferriss talks about.

The Uplifted Method is how we solve the Neural Bottleneck:

The Prime (Shiftwave)

We don't start with the workout. We start on the Shiftwave. It uses pulsed pressure waves to regulate your nervous system and "prime" your neural pathways before you touch the machine. This tells your brain it is safe to output 100% of your strength.

The Stimulus (ARX)

Now that you're primed, we hit absolute muscle failure in one set. The machine fights you back with the exact force you're capable of producing. No momentum. No wasted reps.

The Fuel (Red Light & Sunlight)

We flood your cells with light to clear lactic acid and accelerate repair while you follow our Animal-Based Bulk.

The Feb 16 "MMW Peak" Cohort

I'm opening the lab for a 6-week cohort to get the "Andreses South Beach" crew ready for Miami Music Week.

12 Lab Sessions:2× per week. 20 minutes each.
Neurological Priming:Shiftwave session before every workout for maximum force production.
Unlimited Recovery Pass:Use the Red Light lab whenever you're feeling fried.
The Animal Bulk Blueprint:My exact shopping list (80/20 beef, whole milk, eggs, tallow) to hit 4,000–6,000 calories.
The Handsome Cohort:Private WhatsApp group for the crew—session coordination, force data, and accountability.

The Investment: Partnership Pricing

I want results, not just customers. I'm offering this cohort on a sliding scale based on how much you want to help me document the method.

The "Private Performer" ($1,450)
You want the results, but you want to stay off the radar. You show up, you get jacked, and we keep the data between us.
The "Lab Partner" ($450–$850)
You're already planning to document your journey. In lieu of the full fee, you commit to a weekly content series (stories/reels) tagging the lab and showcasing your ARX force data.
The "Full Barter"
If you have a significant audience and want to go "all-in" on high-production content for the method, let's talk.

The "Kona" Guarantee

I've trained over 1,000 people. I don't do hype. If you show up for your 12 sessions, follow the bulk, and your ARX strength data doesn't show a significant jump, I'll refund your fee.

Starts Feb 16, 2026. Fill out the form below and we'll be in touch.
