$112,000. That's how much I'm getting paid to race at HYROX in İzmir, Turkey, on September 19th. That's 3x what the 2026 world champion made. Honestly, I'm feeling the pressure. The numbers so far: 🌎 60,207 people from 184 countries visited My chest got 62,343 clicks, 3x as many as my biceps 🍑 My butt sold for $20,000 A huge thanks to my sponsors and the people who shared this little experiment. You've given me a story I'll tell my kids, and I'm grateful for it ❤️ - by Higgsfield AI 🧩 (10 spots!) - by Kelvin Cobanaj - by Kimi - by OrcaRouter 🐳 - by Peptide Confidential - by John Hu (🍑) If you want to watch a giant, sweaty billboard race in İzmir on the 19th at 9:30 am, you're invited. Just reply "I'm in" below so I know roughly how many tickets to buy. See you on September 19th 🫡

1:05:11 I finished 1st 🥇 on my age group and 5th in the male category. I failed my ambitious goal of sub-60 but I was very happy with my race. And I have a nice goal to chase for the next few months. All the staff at the Hyrox venue knew us! I even talked to the manager of Hyrox Turkey/Dubai/Greece. His name his Mustafa and he let my wife inside the athlete zone to shot videos for our YouTube channel. It’s my first Hyrox and the energy is insane. Everybody is fit, sexy and topless. There’s a DJ and MC so it feels like a gym-club in Bali. No surprise this sport is growing so much! This little experiment is engraved in my head. The last 2 weeks have been surreal. Getting paid $112,000 to race, receiving a fancy car at my hotel lobby, getting recognized by a lot of people, my first race… so many things to process! I want to thank my sponsors who made this possible: - by Higgsfield AI 🧩 (10 spots!) - by Kelvin Cobanaj - by Kimi - by OrcaRouter 🐳 - by Peptide Confidential - by John Hu (🍑) I want to thank my wife for always trusting in me and pushing me to try whatever crosses my mind. I want to thank all of you who supported the idea, online and offline. And I want to thank me for believing in myself. I was lost for so long. I felt misunderstood by people thinking I was weird for trying all kind of experiments. In the end I just want to have fun, and I’m incredibly grateful that my hard work has finally compounded and now I can play and get paid for it. Ok I’m a bit emotional now, and I’m getting late for my second race of the day with my wife. This one is just for fun. Woohoo!

23 hours later... - 1.5M views - 35K unique visitors - $29K in revenue ($63K gross) Most viewed muscle groups: 1. Chest: 37,298 views 2. Forearms: 15,704 views 3. Back: 14,183 views 4. Shoulders: 13,386 views 5. Biceps: 12,264 views I understand why the chest gets more views. But forearms #2? Plz explain. Some people reached out saying the spots are getting too expensive, so I opened 2 new muscle groups: Quads & Calves. The auction stops in 34 hours, so I can print the tattoos. I wanted to thank my sponsors for making my first HYROX race impossible to forget: - Left chest: by Comp AI - Right chest: by Vincent - Left shoulder: by Boon aka Hwee-Boon Yar - Right shoulder: by Nevo David - Left bicep: by Vincent ...

I made a game where you unlock chat rooms 💬 with founders at your MRR. 1. Connect Stripe (+10 other providers) to 2. Go to and customize your character 3. Enter private chat rooms based on your MRR What happens in these rooms stays in these rooms 🤫 Only founders with verified revenue can join them. Wander around the mini-world, talk to anyone, and make friends 🤝 Walk up to someone and press [Space] to see their startups. Every founder with verified revenue gets a pet 🪴🌳🚀💎👑 that follows you everywhere. It shows your total revenue over the last 30 days: a tree 🌳 means $1K–$10K/mo. → I hid a few Easter eggs around the map. Show me what you find 🤗

I just did my yearly V02 max test: 🫀 61.9 mL/kg/min It's 8% better than last year 🥳 and puts me in the top 5% of men my age. The test was on a treadmill, starting at 6 km/h. The speed increased by 2 km/h every 3 minutes. At each stage, the doctor stopped the treadmill for 15 seconds to take a blood sample from my finger and measure my lactate levels. I passed out at 22 km/h (~25 minutes). For the past 2 years, I've taken my fitness seriously: - Cardio 3-4x a week - Lifting 2-3x a week I was worried about losing muscle mass, which also matters for longevity, but I didn’t. In fact, I’ve gained almost 10 kg since last year. I’m now 84 kg at 181 cm, and I’m happy with that. My goal for next year is to improve my VO₂ max and get stronger without gaining more weight. Marc, when you read this next year, here's your resume: - Bench press: 100 kg × 5 reps - Squat: 120 kg × 5 reps - Deadlift: 150 kg × 5 reps - 10 km: 39 minutes Good luck 🫡

I made an app to fix my terrible posture. It uses my MacBook Pro camera to watch me work. When AI detects that I’m sitting like a shrimp 🦐, it sends me a notification with a preview of my posture so I can reposition myself. Everything stays local. It works offline too. > And because apparently my brain only responds to fake rewards, I added XP: good posture makes my shrimp evolve (currently level 7).

The avatar on the site is a real version of me, not AI. My wife scanned my body with an app called Polycam. She took ~300 photos of me from different angles. Then I imported the file into Blender and used their MCP to connect with Codex. It did its magic to display it in HTML using three.js. The avatar kinda looks like me, but it's a bit weird and clunky, so here's my actual body, where your brand’s tattoo will go for HYROX.

⚠️ MEETUP UPDATE — PLEASE READ Unfortunately, we have to cancel today’s meetup. Because of the typhoon and heavy rain, the venue is now partially flooded, with water getting inside. For everyone’s safety, we strongly recommend not coming to the meetup today. However, I know some of you took flights or trains to Shanghai specifically for this meetup. We’ll still be at the venue at 2 PM to welcome anyone who already made the trip. ❤️ But please don’t travel just for the meetup today. Stay safe, and I’m really sorry about this last-minute change. Thank you for understanding 🙏

I built a bot traffic tracker for DataFast 🤖 It shows what crawlers and AI assistants do on your website: ✨ ChatGPT / Claude fetching pages to answer users 🔎 Google / Bing indexing your site 🧠 OpenAI / Anthropic / Meta crawling for training 📄 The exact pages they crawl 🚫 Pages they try to crawl that return 404s The 404s are interesting because if ChatGPT keeps requesting /free-trial and that page does not exist, that is a signal you should build it! Free for early users, probably not forever. If you try it, I’d love feedback. PS. Let me know your bot/human traffic rate (mine is ~300%! 🤯)

New PR: 8 minutes 🎉 I realized it’s 50% muscle 50% mental. My shoulders are basically dead after 3 minutes and then it’s the little voice inside telling me to hold until {{goal}}. I don’t know if this one counts tho, because I lifted my elbows a few times and I wasn’t in proper form. Not an excuse but the floor was getting slippery. Anyway I’m Pretty proud of it!
