Resistance Is Futile

September 7, 2026. 7 of 9 Day.

I weigh 233 pounds.

I'm 52 years old. I'm not a trainer, I don't have some secret bodybuilding past, and for most of my adult life I've actively disliked gym culture.

So naturally I've decided to make myself the guinea pig.

Project Zero starts today.

The goal isn't a crash diet, a magic number on the scale, or to turn fitness into my entire personality. I want to rebuild strength, energy, stamina, health, confidence, and body composition using methods that are evidence-backed, realistic for an ordinary middle-aged man, and sustainable in an actual life.

I'm starting this publicly before I know how the story ends.

If something works, I'll document it.

If something doesn't work, I'll document that too.

If I change my mind because better evidence shows I was wrong, that stays in the record.

The eventual M3 Program only gets to exist if Project Zero earns it.

Resistance is futile.
