What is the Winter Arc?
“The Winter Arc” is a period where individuals use the coldest, darkest days of the year to refocus and visualize their goals. It’s a time to bulk up, gain strength, and cut fat, all in preparation for a stronger version of yourself.
When does the Winter Arc start and end?
It starts on October 1st, or you can also start on January 1st.
Winter Arc Contract
The Winter Arc Contract is composed of various rules to guide you through your transformation:
Rule 1: Train at least 4 times a week
This is the bare minimum commitment to your progress.
Rule 2: No Relationships
Avoid romantic relationships during this period. Being single is encouraged, and heartbreak can fuel your motivation.
Rule 3: Complete a Mandatory Bulk/Cut Cycle
You must complete a bulk or cut cycle, with the goal of transforming into a formidable version of yourself.
Rule 4: Eliminate All Distractions
Enter “ghost mode.” Focus entirely on your goals and eliminate distractions.
Rule 5: Buzz Cut (Optional)
A buzz cut is optional, but it symbolizes discipline and commitment. It's a test that separates individuals committed to the challenge.
Rule 6: Train Your Mind
Just as you train your body, you must train your mind. Mental resilience is key to physical strength. Invest in knowledge and discipline.
Rule 7: Control Your Desires
Exercise control over your desires. Self-mastery is essential to achieving your potential. Unchecked desires can hinder your growth.
