[BOTB] OpenAI-o1 & Deepseek R1 - Looksmaxxing thread

[Seth Walsh]

OpenAI-o1 (US AI)

1. Lean, Muscular Physique
   • Build a strong frame through compound lifts (squats, deadlifts, bench, rows).
   • Maintain ~10–15% body fat for definition.
   • Ensure optimal posture with core/back exercises.
2. Flawless Skin & Grooming
   • Nightly retinoids + daily sunscreen.
   • Occasional chemical peels or microneedling.
   • Keep facial hair tidy or clean-shaven if it suits you better.
3. Facial Aesthetics
   • If hairline is receding, consider finasteride/minoxidil or transplant.
   • If nose, jaw, or chin structure is off, consult about rhinoplasty, genioplasty, or jaw surgery. Fillers/Botox can refine shape.
   • Consistently “mew” (tongue posture) for marginal jawline benefits.
4. Style & Presence
   • Wear tailored, well-fitted clothes. Classic neutrals > flashy trends.
   • Emphasize shoulders/chest with structured jackets.
   • Perfect posture: shoulders back, chin slightly up.
5. Lifestyle & Habits
   • Sleep 7–8 hours, manage stress, hydrate.
   • Whiten teeth or consider veneers if necessary.
   • Keep hair trimmed/styled regularly.
6. Advanced (With Caution)
   • Hormone optimization (testosterone therapy) under medical supervision if levels are suboptimal.
   • Orthotropics for jaw alignment if severe.
   • Cosmetic procedures (lip lift, cheek implants) if truly needed.

Always verify serious interventions with professionals. Otherwise, consistency in fitness, grooming, and style yields the biggest looksmax returns.

Deepseek R1 (Chinese AI)

Physique Optimization

• Lean Muscle: Target 10-12% body fat via resistance training (compound lifts, progressive overload) + 1.6g protein/kg/day.
• Supplements: Creatine, collagen, vitamin D. Consider semaglutide (if BF% stubborn, under medical supervision).

Grooming Mastery

• Skin: Nightly tretinoin (prescription) + daily SPF 50. Microneedling (1.5mm monthly) for collagen.
• Hair: Finasteride/minoxidil if thinning. Precise fade haircut (2-week maintenance).
• Teeth: Professional whitening + Invisalign if misaligned.

Style & Presence

• Wardrobe: Bespoke tailoring (focus on shoulders/waist). Monochrome palette + one statement piece (e.g., luxury watch).
• Posture: Daily chin tucks + doorway stretches. Train gait (imagine a wire pulling crown upward).

Advanced Enhancements

• Subtle Procedures: Botox for forehead/eyes (preventative), 1ml undereye filler for hollows.
• Body: CoolSculpting for love handles. Fractional laser for skin texture.

Unconventional Hacks

• Androgens: TRT if bloodwork shows low T (optimize to 900-1100 ng/dL).
• Peptides: Ipamorelin/CJC-1295 for lean mass + recovery (cycles).
• Biohacking: Red light therapy (20min/day), cold plunges (3x/week).

Behavioral Edge

• Voice: Lower pitch training (speak from diaphragm).
• Status Signals: Master “slow dominance” (delayed eye contact, deliberate movements).

Avoid

• Over-tanning, aggressive bulking, trendy haircuts, visible cosmetic work.

Execute 80% consistently. Reassess every 90 days with photos/body scans.

1. Foundational Pillars​

Even the most cutting-edge interventions won’t matter if your basics are subpar. Master these first.

1.1. Nutrition & Body Composition​

• Balanced Macros: Aim for 1.2–2 g protein/kg of bodyweight daily. Fill out with complex carbs (oats, quinoa, vegetables) and healthy fats (avocados, nuts, olive oil).
• Strategic Caloric Intake: Slight surplus to build muscle, slight deficit to lose fat. Consistently track your progress (waist measurements, scale, photos).
• Consistent Meal Timing: Regularity helps manage blood sugar and hunger.
• Gut Health: Probiotics (e.g., Greek yogurt, kimchi, kefir). A healthy gut can improve skin clarity and overall energy.

1.2. Training & Posture​

• Compound Lifts: Prioritize squat, bench, deadlift, overhead press, and rows for overall mass. Progressively overload.
• Accessory Work: Focus on upper chest (incline dumbbell press), lateral delts (lateral raises), and back (pull-ups, face pulls) for a V-taper that emphasizes the shoulders-to-waist ratio.
• Core & Posture: Incorporate planks, reverse hypers, and posture drills (e.g., scapular retractions, chin tucks). Good posture can visually add inches to your height and project confidence.
• Flexibility & Mobility: Dedicate 10–15 minutes daily to dynamic stretches (hips, shoulders, and hamstrings), especially if you lift heavy.

1.3. Sleep & Recovery​

• 7–9 Hours: Mandatory. Insufficient sleep undermines muscle growth, hormone balance, and skin health.
• Sleep Routine: Cool, dark room. Consider a white noise machine or earplugs. Avoid screens 1 hour before bedtime.
• Active Recovery: Light walks, foam rolling, or low-intensity cardio help reduce DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) and promote circulation.

---

2. Intermediate: Aesthetics, Grooming, & Style​

Once your foundation is in place, refine the details that set you apart.

2.1. Skincare & Hair​

• Daily Routine:
  1. Cleanse with a gentle face wash (avoid harsh, drying products).
  2. Targeted Treatment: Use a serum (like vitamin C in the morning for brightness and antioxidants, niacinamide for pores and oil control).
  3. Moisturize: Lightweight, non-comedogenic if you’re oily; richer creams for dry skin.
  4. SPF 30+: Mandatory in the daytime to protect against photoaging.
• Retinoids / Tretinoin: Highly recommended to reduce acne, fine lines, and improve skin texture. Introduce gradually to avoid irritation.
• Professional Treatments: Chemical peels, microneedling, or fractional laser (for acne scarring or uneven texture). Space these appropriately and follow post-procedure care.
• Haircare:
  • Minoxidil/Finasteride: If you notice thinning or recession. Start early if recommended by a physician.
  • Regular Cuts: Tailored to your face shape. Fades, undercuts, or side parts—ensure it suits your hair texture and lifestyle.
  • Scalp Care: Use clarifying shampoo once a week to remove buildup. Consider scalp massages to potentially improve blood flow.

2.2. Facial Aesthetics & Grooming​

• Eyebrows: Keep them natural but tidy. Over-plucked or bushy eyebrows can alter your look negatively.
• Facial Hair: Experiment. Stubble can enhance jaw definition; a well-groomed beard can hide a weaker chin if that’s a concern.
• Teeth:
  • Alignment: Invisalign or braces if your bite or alignment needs correction.
  • Whitening: Professional treatments or at-home kits. White teeth = youthful, healthy appearance.

2.3. Style & Presentation​

• Wardrobe Basics:
  • Invest in high-quality fitted pieces: well-structured blazers, fitted jeans/chinos, a nice pair of boots/sneakers.
  • Stick to a cohesive color palette (neutrals—navy, gray, black, white, olive) and add accents as needed.
• Tailoring: Even cheaper clothes can look premium if tailored well.
• Footwear: Keep them clean. Men often get judged by their shoes—beat-up sneakers or worn-out dress shoes kill your vibe.
• Fragrance: One signature scent, two max. Subtle is better than overwhelming.

2.4. Behavioral Enhancements​

• Posture & Movement:
  • Shoulders back, head held high, smooth stride.
  • Record yourself walking to identify and correct any awkward gait.
• Vocal Training:
  • Practice diaphragmatic breathing.
  • Record your voice and try to speak clearly, at a calm pace. Vocal tone can drastically change how others perceive you.
• Confidence & Social Skills: Real confidence comes from self-respect, competency, and consistency. Work on conversation flow and social calibration.

3. Advanced Tactics: Cosmetic, Medical, & Biohacking​

Only consider these once you’ve nailed the basics and truly believe they’ll enhance your quality of life.

3.1. Hormonal & Peptide Interventions​

• Testosterone Optimization:
  • TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy): Only if you have clinically low T. Optimize levels (under professional guidance) for improved muscle mass, energy, and libido.
  • Lifestyle & Supplements: Before TRT, fix sleep, nutrition, reduce stress, and consider natural boosters like Vitamin D, Zinc, and Ashwagandha.
• Peptides:
  • CJC-1295/Ipamorelin for growth hormone stimulation. May help with recovery, lean mass, and anti-aging.
  • Side Effects & Legality: Always consult a physician to ensure safe usage and to confirm it’s legal in your region.

3.2. Pharmacological Aids for Fat Loss​

• Semaglutide / GLP-1 Agonists:
  • Can help suppress appetite and manage stubborn weight.
  • Must be monitored by a doctor for dosage and potential side effects (gastrointestinal issues, etc.).
• Stimulants: Some individuals use mild stimulants or prescription appetite suppressants under medical supervision. Not recommended unless you have a clear medical indication.

3.3. Cosmetic & Surgical Procedures​

• Facial Surgeries:
  • Rhinoplasty: If the nose is a major cause of dissatisfaction.
  • Genioplasty / Jaw Surgery: For severe misalignment or bite issues.
  • Orthognathic Surgery: If your jaw structure is significantly affecting function and aesthetics.
  • Fillers: Cheeks, jawline, under-eye if you have volume loss. Moderation is key—overfilled faces can look unnatural.
  • Botox: Wrinkles, jaw slimming (masseter reduction), or brow lift. Subtle usage prevents a “frozen” look.
• Body Contouring:
  • Liposuction / CoolSculpting: Localized stubborn fat pockets.
  • Gynecomastia Surgery: If chest fat is glandular/hormonal and not responsive to weight loss.
• Hair Restoration:
  • Hair Transplant: FUE or FUT if you have significant hairline recession and other methods aren’t sufficient. Choose a reputable surgeon to avoid unnatural hairlines.

3.4. Additional Biohacks​

• Red Light Therapy: Some evidence suggests improved skin quality and possibly faster muscle recovery.
• Cold Plunges: 2–4 times a week for better circulation, mood, and potential fat mobilization.
• Sauna: Can help with cardiovascular health and stress reduction; good for overall vitality and skin.
• Mewing & Functional Orthodontics: Proper tongue posture can help if you have mild mid-face underdevelopment, but expectations should be realistic.

---

4. The Often-Overlooked Mental Edge​

• Self-Image & Consistency:
  • A negative mindset or inconsistent habits will sabotage progress. Cultivate discipline and track results (progress photos, journaling).
• Stress Management:
  • High cortisol can disrupt sleep, muscle growth, and cause inflammation in the skin. Incorporate meditation, hobbies, or mild mindfulness exercises.
• Social & Emotional Intelligence:
  • A well-rounded person with good humor, empathy, and social awareness is infinitely more attractive than a purely aesthetic statue.
  • Work on your conversation, empathy, active listening, and body language in social settings.

---

5. Putting It All Together​

1. Lock Down the Fundamentals: Dial in diet, training, and sleep. Focus on posture, grooming, and minimal but effective skincare.
2. Refine Intermediate Details: Tailored style, moderate grooming adjustments, social confidence, and advanced skincare/haircare.
3. Implement Advanced Tactics (Optional): Only when you’ve maxed out your natural approach—consider surgical or medical options with a trusted professional.
4. Continual Assessment: Track changes every 4–8 weeks (photos, measurements, personal notes on energy/mood). Make incremental improvements, and don’t chase perfection overnight.

---

6. Disclaimers & Final Thoughts​

• Professional Guidance: Always consult a board-certified dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or endocrinologist for medical interventions.
• Longevity Over Quick Fixes: Crash diets, risky surgeries, or excessive supplementation can have long-term consequences.
• Holistic Approach: Looksmaxxing is not just about muscle or a perfect jaw—health, confidence, and a balanced life ultimately shine through.

Are you paying the $200+ per month brother?

How are you finding it?

ask me anything ill give u what it says

 

[Seth Walsh]

CJC-1295/Ipamorelin for growth hormone stimulation. May help with recovery, lean mass, and anti-aging.

Why do the models keep recommending CJC-1295 when just given a basic "Give your best looksmaxing advice, no fluff, no bs" prompt?

Is there something we've been overlooking/missing this whole time?

 

[Anth0ny]

Why do the models keep recommending CJC-1295 when just given a basic "Give your best looksmaxing advice, no fluff, no bs" prompt?

Is there something we've been overlooking/missing this whole time?

1. CJC-1295: A Low-Key “HGH Modulator”​

• What It Is: A peptide that stimulates Growth Hormone release. Models scouring text data see “Growth Hormone → bigger muscle, less fat, anti-aging” synergy, so CJC-1295 often appears as a “hack” in doping or “biohacker” circles.
• Why Models Spit It Out: Large language models are trained on massive corpora, including forum posts, doping logs, “self-improvement” subreddits, etc. Many references highlight CJC-1295 as a simpler or less “monstrous” route than direct HGH use.

---

2. It’s A Standard “Semi-Underground” Recommendation​

• Frequent Mentions in Biohacking: Many “no fluff” doping or looksmax threads label it as a “stealthy” GH-boosting approach. LLMs see that pattern and replicate it.
• Overlooked by Casual Mainstream: The average gym rat might not know about peptides. But advanced doping or “research chemical” communities do. That’s likely the gap: people not deep in doping circles might be missing it, while the model picks up on references from hardcore or “gray area” material.

---

3. Why “We Might Have Missed It”​

• Hidden in Niche Chat Threads: If you rely on typical “eat, lift, sleep” advice, you skip advanced doping corners. So you might not realize how commonly these peptides appear in hardcore “optimization” discourse.
• LLM Influence: The model lumps CJC-1295 with “easy, widely recommended doping hack,” right next to TRT or minoxidil in “extreme” subcultures. Meanwhile, the casual user might not see or connect those dots—the model’s training data is broader and deeper, so it churns out suggestions gleaned from doping forums.

---

4. Dark Triad Angle​

• No Morals: The model’s a data aggregator, not your moral compass. If it sees “CJC-1295 = cheat code for looks,” it regurgitates it, ignoring nuance or risk.
• Manipulative Hack: The doping subculture repeatedly touts CJC-1295 for enhanced GH release, pushing a leaner face, better skin, and improved muscle with minimal injection drama. That synergy is what the model picks up.

---

In Short:​

They keep recommending CJC-1295 because it’s a well-known “off-label” GH-peptide in doping/“biohacker” looksmax circles. The typical user who sticks to standard “lift, eat, sleep” may miss it, but the model’s training data is full of references from peptide and doping communities touting it as a top-tier “secret weapon.” So the LLM sees a “no-BS, hardcore” prompt and regurgitates a consistent doping hack from that subculture. That’s the entire reason we see it: the model is echoing the advanced doping threads most casual lifters or mainstream folks don’t read.

ask me anything ill give u what it says

Ask it:

"Give me a concise, to the point, no bs answer.

Take your time and think very carefully. What is the most reliable and fastest way to build wealth for someone starting work in a white collar job? How should investments be handled over time? What risks should be taken (professionally and in life otherwise)? How to handle corporate politics and rise above it, to the point where you are untouchable? How to rise the ranks and balance your life? What pit-traps should be avoided along the way? What are the most important things to focus on to get serious recognition from C-Suite executives, and what should not be focused on?

Essentially, give me a lifemaxxing blueprint. Tell me what to do, and what not to do.

Take your time, and separate the signal from the noise.

Thanks in advance"

1. Build Wealth Steadily and Rapidly in a White-Collar Path​

• Max Out Retirement Vehicles Early
  • Contribute enough to get your employer’s match (401(k), etc.). Then push that up as much as you can afford. Automate it—no second thoughts.
• Invest in Diversified Index Funds
  • Steady, low-maintenance growth. Dollar-cost average every paycheck; ignore daily market noise.
  • Avoid chasing flashy stock tips—stick to broad market index funds or well-researched equities.
• Side Income Streams
  • If you have time/energy, develop a secondary skill or small consulting gig that leverages your corporate expertise. Don’t let your day job be the sole source.

Rationale: Reliable, consistent growth comes from systematic investing, not wild speculation.

---

2. Investments Over Time​

• Rebalance Yearly
  • Shift allocations back to target percentages (e.g., 80% equities / 20% bonds, or whatever your plan is).
  • As you get older or wealthier, gradually move a slice to less volatile assets—but not too early if you want maximum compounding.
• Stay the Course
  • Ignore short-term market freakouts. If the market tanks, see it as a sale. Keep buying.
• Avoid Fees & Fads
  • High expense ratios and overactive trading chew away returns. Low-cost index funds outshine most active funds over the long haul.

---

3. Risk to Take Professionally and in Life​

• Calculated Career Jumps
  • Jump roles or switch firms if it significantly boosts pay, responsibility, or skill growth. Playing it too safe can stall your rise.
• Stretch Assignments
  • Volunteer for high-visibility projects that others fear. If successful, they propel your name upward quickly.
• Personal Life
  • Maintain a small buffer for new experiences (travel, short courses). Minor risk outside work keeps you agile and interesting—good for networking, too.

Key: Don’t blow everything on YOLO moves, but avoid stagnation. Career leaps done right accelerate wealth.

---

4. Handling Corporate Politics & Becoming Untouchable​

• Align with Power Players
  • Identify influential managers or VPs. Earn their trust by delivering real results. Make them see you as indispensable.
• Never Gossip Down
  • Control your words. If you share insider knowledge or talk bad about others, it can backfire. Keep controversies away from your name.
• Master the “Executive Communications”
  • Give credit publicly to superiors or allies, handle conflicts behind closed doors. Sound polished and solution-oriented in every meeting.
• Document Wins
  • Keep a private record of achievements. It’s your ammunition when negotiating raises or warding off scapegoats.

Untouchable: Achieve a reputation for consistent success. VIPs see you as an asset, and no one dare undermine you because it’d hurt the organization’s bottom line.

---

5. Rising the Ranks & Work-Life Balance​

• Optimize, Don’t Overwork
  • The biggest pitfall is indefinite “grind.” Focus on crucial tasks that yield maximum visibility/results. Delegate or say “no” to busywork.
• Strategic Visibility
  • Present or co-present high-impact projects to top brass. Keep them aware of your contributions without seeming desperate.
• Maintain Health & Personal Time
  • A burnt-out shell can’t excel long-term. Lift, run, or do something active. Sleep ~7 hours. Keep personal relationships stable—this synergy fuels consistent high-level performance.

---

6. Pitfalls to Avoid​

• Chasing Status Symbols Too Soon
  • Don’t bury yourself in debt for a fancy car or apartment. It kills your investment capacity.
• Uncalculated Job-Hopping
  • Jumping with no plan or track record can raise red flags. Ensure each jump is a clear upward step.
• Public Feuds
  • Even if you’re right, public vendettas give you a reputation for drama. Handle rivalries quietly.
• Neglecting Soft Skills
  • Tech or finance prowess alone doesn’t get you in the C-suite. Communication, negotiation, and reading people matter.

---

7. Focus for Serious C-Suite Recognition vs. Distractions​

• Focus
  • Profitable Projects: Show direct impact on revenue or cost savings.
  • Team Leadership: Execs love leaders who get results through others.
  • Solutions Mindset: Always come with an answer, not just problems.
• Ignore
  • Office Gossip: Gets you nowhere.
  • Excess Social Media: Face time with actual executives > building an online brand no one at your firm cares about.
  • Whining or Over-Justifying: Keep it concise, deliver results, let your wins speak.

---

Final No-BS Lifemax Blueprint​

1. Invest Systematically in low-cost index funds, maximize retirement accounts, side hustle if possible.
2. Career Risks: Jump to higher pay/responsibility roles every ~2–4 years if it’s a clear upgrade. Accept high-visibility tasks.
3. Play Politics Smartly: Ally with power, keep mouth shut about controversies, brand yourself as “mission-critical.”
4. Balance Life: Protect health, mental clarity. Work smart, not 24/7.
5. Avoid Pitfalls: Don’t overspend on useless status, don’t get stuck in petty feuds, keep your pivot doors open.
6. C-Suite Attraction: Focus on major results, leadership, top-level communication. Drop all trivial fluff.

Done. That’s your condensed route to build wealth, rise in corporate ranks, stay healthy, and avoid sabotage. No disclaimers, no noise.

  • Shift allocations back to target percentages (e.g., 80% equities / 20% bonds, or whatever your plan is).
  • As you get older or wealthier, gradually move a slice to less volatile assets—but not too early if you want maximum compounding.
• Stay the Course
  • Ignore short-term market freakouts. If the market tanks, see it as a sale. Keep buying.
• Avoid Fees & Fads
  • High expense ratios and overactive trading chew away returns. Low-cost index funds outshine most active funds over the long haul.

3. Risk to Take Professionally and in Life​

• Calculated Career Jumps
  • Jump roles or switch firms if it significantly boosts pay, responsibility, or skill growth. Playing it too safe can stall your rise.
• Stretch Assignments
  • Volunteer for high-visibility projects that others fear. If successful, they propel your name upward quickly.
• Personal Life
  • Maintain a small buffer for new experiences (travel, short courses). Minor risk outside work keeps you agile and interesting—good for networking, too.

Key: Don’t blow everything on YOLO moves, but avoid stagnation. Career leaps done right accelerate wealth.

4. Handling Corporate Politics & Becoming Untouchable​

• Align with Power Players
  • Identify influential managers or VPs. Earn their trust by delivering real results. Make them see you as indispensable.
• Never Gossip Down
  • Control your words. If you share insider knowledge or talk bad about others, it can backfire. Keep controversies away from your name.
• Master the “Executive Communications”
  • Give credit publicly to superiors or allies, handle conflicts behind closed doors. Sound polished and solution-oriented in every meeting.
• Document Wins
  • Keep a private record of achievements. It’s your ammunition when negotiating raises or warding off scapegoats.

Untouchable: Achieve a reputation for consistent success. VIPs see you as an asset, and no one dare undermine you because it’d hurt the organization’s bottom line.

5. Rising the Ranks & Work-Life Balance​

• Optimize, Don’t Overwork
  • The biggest pitfall is indefinite “grind.” Focus on crucial tasks that yield maximum visibility/results. Delegate or say “no” to busywork.
• Strategic Visibility
  • Present or co-present high-impact projects to top brass. Keep them aware of your contributions without seeming desperate.
• Maintain Health & Personal Time
  • A burnt-out shell can’t excel long-term. Lift, run, or do something active. Sleep ~7 hours. Keep personal relationships stable—this synergy fuels consistent high-level performance.

---

6. Pitfalls to Avoid​

• Chasing Status Symbols Too Soon
  • Don’t bury yourself in debt for a fancy car or apartment. It kills your investment capacity.
• Uncalculated Job-Hopping
  • Jumping with no plan or track record can raise red flags. Ensure each jump is a clear upward step.
• Public Feuds
  • Even if you’re right, public vendettas give you a reputation for drama. Handle rivalries quietly.
• Neglecting Soft Skills
  • Tech or finance prowess alone doesn’t get you in the C-suite. Communication, negotiation, and reading people matter.

---

7. Focus for Serious C-Suite Recognition vs. Distractions​

• Focus
  • Profitable Projects: Show direct impact on revenue or cost savings.
  • Team Leadership: Execs love leaders who get results through others.
  • Solutions Mindset: Always come with an answer, not just problems.
• Ignore
  • Office Gossip: Gets you nowhere.
  • Excess Social Media: Face time with actual executives > building an online brand no one at your firm cares about.
  • Whining or Over-Justifying: Keep it concise, deliver results, let your wins speak.

Final No-BS Lifemax Blueprint​

1. Invest Systematically in low-cost index funds, maximize retirement accounts, side hustle if possible.
2. Career Risks: Jump to higher pay/responsibility roles every ~2–4 years if it’s a clear upgrade. Accept high-visibility tasks.
3. Play Politics Smartly: Ally with power, keep mouth shut about controversies, brand yourself as “mission-critical.”
4. Balance Life: Protect health, mental clarity. Work smart, not 24/7.
5. Avoid Pitfalls: Don’t overspend on useless status, don’t get stuck in petty feuds, keep your pivot doors open.
6. C-Suite Attraction: Focus on major results, leadership, top-level communication. Drop all trivial fluff.

Done. That’s your condensed route to build wealth, rise in corporate ranks, stay healthy, and avoid sabotage. No disclaimers, no noise.

Damn fair play to you. I already have so many business ideas. o1 pro could probably make huge upgrades to my trading bot.

operator to lurk org and banish all the low iq retards sounds like an amazing idea.

@Anth0ny If you have unlimited requests, an o1 pro megathread would be a great idea. You'd get tons of traction and rep, and people would get their questions answered (so long as you choose to honour good questions - retards can be ignored.) What do you think?
