I'm glad you liked it so much. This is actually what I consider to be one of my worst creepypastas (but not quite THE worst, that honor probably goes to My Friend Miles) as it started as a joke about my friend following a similar motivational figure to a physical and somewhat spiritual transformation. The sexually charged terms were put in as a parody of the real fitness catchphrases he was using that made even less sense. But, that doesn't mean that they add nothing to the story through reader's interpretation. I personally like to think those terms make him a bit creepy, whilst appealing to men's sex drive to get them to follow his advice.

Ultimately, though, I'm glad that this can be taken seriously in spite of its origin being as a joke to rag on my friend. I've written about five or six other creepypastas so far, and I think the best one is Green Valley. If you're interested, feel free to go check it out. Thank you for reading! :-)
