There were some brilliant replies to this ‘masculinity champion’s lockdown achievements

We have to confess we hadn’t come across Ryan Michler before (or if we had, we’ve forgotten).

He appears to be some sort of ‘masculinity champion’ who wants to ‘reclaim and restore masculinity’ with a message to men to ‘crush your excuses, take charge of your life, and live manfully!’

He’s also had a busy lockdown – very busy – and went on Twitter to share it, naturally.

In the past 4 weeks I’ve:

Lost 11lbs, 2.5% body fat
Increased revenue 23%
Home gym build-out
Office renovation
Installed blinds/flooring
Read 6 books
Completed my new book outline
Secured 7 killer podcast guests
Appeared on 12 podcasts
Hit 100,000 YouTube subscribers

That’s nothing pal. I’ve had 28 luxury poos on account of the fact that the only toilet paper left in the shop was the super-deluxe double-quilted supreme with aloe vera. My bottom has never been in such good condition.
