Intro A neurotic, socially awkward incel gym rat attempts to pursue his “villain arc” by achieving a Sigma-tier workout session and finally losing his virginity. Unfortunately, a simple visit to the Iron Jungle and a night out in Party Central turns into a series of catastrophic events that leave the him battling for his life and worse, his decaying manhood. But much like the old time under tension methodology, maybe these trials are building him up for a destiny greater than he could have ever imagined in his pea-sized brain. Author Bio Ian Tsang (who may or may not be Deadlift Boy from the novel) is an eccentric gym rat, former deadlift record holder, and world-famous punk rock icon known for his passion for storytelling and charm with the opposite sex (allegedly). His creative work whether through music or fiction explores issues with mental health, dating, Internet trends, gym culture, and toxic masculinity (whatever that means) through a humorous lens, poking fun at the everyday struggles of the common man. Since his unfortunate birth into the world, he has strived to create anthems and fables for the underdogs, outcasts, and others like him struggling to figure out their place in this weird world, drawing on past experiences to tell universal stories that are both relatable, thought-provoking and hopefully, entertaining. When he is not creating works of literary genius or screaming angsty lyrics into the microphone over 4 chord progressions, Ian can be found rock climbing, lifting really heavy things in the gym, handing out with friends (both real and imaginary), and Googling deep philosophical questions like “Signs I may have autism” or “how to know if I am the third wheel of the friend group”. To date, he has gained over 150 thousand streams on Spotify, over 500 thousand lifetime views on his YouTube channel, and has deadlifted over 405 pounds. There is no telling what a young genius like him will accomplish next. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GucciMasterStyle Follow Ian Tsang Insta: ian_tsang_music TikTok: ian.tsang8
