As an addition I have these lying on my desk and use them whenever I feel like to further strengten my forearms:
On top of training my body, I also exercise my facial muscles. I chew, first on jawliner for 15 minutes, then in the rest of the day if I'm idling I just chew on sugar free gum that I harden by freezing in the fridge beforehand:
I'm always keeping an eye on proper tongue, head posture and nose breathing. I always have a menthol inhaler with me to clear out my nostrils and and to avoid mouth breathing:
Skincare
Haircare
Grooming
I follow my own version of the carnivore diet, consuming around 240g of protein, 240g of fat and cca. 40g of carbohydrates a day, totaling up to around 3 000 calories, which means a sustainable maintenance level for me.
I consume 6 meals a day equally scattered throughout the day; the first right after waking up, the last one just before going to bed. I follow the nose-to-tail principle, I try to choose the type of meat I consume in accordance with it's percentage of the body. For example liver makes up just 2% of the body, so I eat it in small amounts - it is so nutrient rich that this is the way to go. I follow a similar logic with other organs and muscle meat, the latter makes up most of my meat consumption, as it is the most abundant type of muscle found in the body.

Meal 1 - preworkout

I sometimes pair my breakfast with a preworkout formula that contains caffeine, taurine, l-carnitine, niacin, beta-alanine, l-citrulline, creatine in generous amounts , among others. I always consume a multivitamin paired with 250mg's of magnesium before I exercise in the morning.
Meal 2 - postworkout
- 100g of fatty fish
- 333ml of whole milk
- 50g of cheese
- 5 eggs fried on butter

Exercise, recovery
I follow an exercise routine that has 4 strength training session and 1-2 HIIT workouts per week. The strength training part is my custom made upper-lower 4 day split, while the high intensity cardio at the moment is sprint running on athletic track as the weather allows it. On top of high intensity workouts, I walk 5-10 kilometers a day as well, often in the form of hiking.

As I'm not trying to bulk up any more, I'm not doing deload weeks, I rather do sessions that I half ass or just rest a day or two more. On rest days I regularly foam roll to relax tension. I make sure to visit thermal baths and get a Swedish massage at least monthly once for the same benefits. I'm taking ashwaganda to lower my cortisol.
I'm a night owl, but I always make sure to get at least 8 hours of quality sleep as hormone production is crucial for me as a natural athlete. I aid my sleep with 250mg's of magnesium taken before going to bed, 1-3mg's of melatonin tablets, blackout curtains and ear plugs.

Skincare
My daily skincare routine
After waking up:
I use a redlight lamp with a wavelength of around 670nm for 15 minutes on my face.
Once a month
I visit my cosmetician to get my skin cleaned professionally, to avoid comedos and other unwanted things.
Makeup
I don't have a routine for makeup as I only use it when I feel like it, but I do have a few pieces in my toolbox. Some of the from the top of my head:
After waking up:
- Cleansing my face with a facial cleanser containing activated charcoal
- Moisturizing
- 15 mg of beta carotene
- 10 mg of lycopene
- SPF 50 on face, 30 or 50 on the rest of the bodyparts exposed to the sun. If I'm outside for a longer amount of time, I reapply after a few hours
- 0.2mg of melanotan 2, I tan afterwards
- Apply chapstick on my lips
- Facial cleansing
- Moisturizing
- I spread vitamin C serum all over my face
- I apply vitamin E serum onto my undereyes
- Lip balm
I exfoliate, both physically and chemically. I utilize both AHAs (such as glycolic acid) and BHAs (like salicylic acid). On top of this, once a week, usually the night before saturday (when I'm mostly staying inside the house), I apply a pea sized amount of tretinoin evenly spread out on my face.

Makeup
I don't have a routine for makeup as I only use it when I feel like it, but I do have a few pieces in my toolbox. Some of the from the top of my head:
- Tinted moisturizer - I use this very often, even as a substitute for my daily moisturizer
- BB cream - I use this almost daily too when going out, it's very subtle yet gives a massive halo, gives you crystal clear skin
- Under-eye concealer cream - if I get dark circles, e.g. I'm fatigued
- Color correcting crayon - if I get a pimple or other skin discoloration, I mask it
- Concealer cream - I use a matte finished waterproof concealer on special occasions and for clubbing
- Foundation - I rarely use it irl as it can be noticeable, but for photos on social media, it's a fair game for me. Whenever I use it, I start with a layer of pore-minimizing primer, I apply the foundation, then finish it with translucent setting powder to reduce shine
- Tinted chapstick or tinted lip balm - to make my lips brighter, fluffier and pinker tiktokers do (don't confuse them with lipsticks, they are two completely different things)
- Mascara - waterproof one on eyebrows & eyelashes.
- Eyebrow pencil - I don't use it that often but if done right can make eyebrows really dark and thick looking
- Eyeliner - I sometimes use it very subtly, the same way someone like Vinnie Hacker does, mostly under eyes
Haircare
Haircut
I currently like to go for this hairstyle:
My natural hair is brown, to peacock a little bit, I usually ask for multishade, natural looking dark blond highlights into it.
I visit a hair salon once a month. Never a barber and I only let my hair cut down by a woman, since male barbers don't possess the female gaze.
Texture
Time had to pass to guess an ideal frequency, now I know I need to keratin treat my hair around twice a year to achieve a straight texture and shine.
Maintenance
I wash my hair twice a week, I use conditioner both times but shampoo just once. I use smoothening conditioner that is sulfate free (important to protect keratined hair) with added keratin proteins and cocoa butter. Likewise, I use a sulfate free, color protective shampoo for similar reason. I like to deep condition from time to time and utilize hair masks. I always let my hair dry on it's own without touching it.
I try to avoid heat as much as I can , but when I need to use hot tools, I always make sure to apply anti-frizz keratin heat protector spray. Now I could list what tools and methods I use to stlye my hair but to be completely honest, nowadays I mostly only use my fingers, since keratin treated hair is extremely easy to style without any tools. I just midpart it with a brush, then let gravity to it's thing to my curtains on the sides. Keratined hair doesn't frizzes and I don't even need to brush it most of the time.

Grooming
Teeth
I brush my teeth twice a day with an electric toothbrush, I use 5% hydrogen peroxide toothpaste anternately with activated charcoal to brush my teeth, then alcohol-free mouthwash. I make sure to floss and clean my tongue as well with a tongue scraper. I get teeth stone removed by my dentist twice a year. I got my teeth whitened up to top notch level with laser treatment at the end of 2021, it should be good for some time, might see it in half a year / year if I want to redo it again, until then my teeth are paper white.
Eyebrows
I apply minoxidil foam on them every day before going to bed. Using dark brown eyebrow dye, I tint them dark but before doing so I apply some vaseline to avoid my skin getting painted underneath. For styling, I use a mini brush meant for them along with castor oil (to stick the hair onto the skin). I regularly pluck the ground between them and to make them more positively tilted. Sometimes I use waterproof mascara or eyebrow pencil to make them look more darker and dense.
Eyelashes
I use careprost on my eyelashes. Like with my brows, I tint my lashes biweekly, but with black dye instead of dark brown. I regularly use mascara and shape them with an eyelash curler.
Facial hair
I've started to pluck my facial hair in order to have a completely hairless lower third all the time. First time it took me a few hours to get it done, I've done it second time this weekend and it only took me about an hour and a half or so. I plan to do this from now on every 2-3 week or so instead of shaving.

Body hair
My body is always completely hairless, for now I achieve this by waxxing my upper body + parts and using an epilator on my legs (since they are less sensitive, thus less painful to do). I halted IPL becaause of my current tanning routine while on melanotan, I started to wonder recently if I should continue it in autumn or start electrolysis instead, time will tell.
