I'm not the br you replied to.

I understand what you mean about games. I also feel like that when I'm busy with life. But when I have some time to play, it's kind of fun. But the moment I start raging again, I start wondering if it's worth it. I'm lacking some sort of personal project. I need so fucking much to find my purpose, but I can't

if you never fap you get trapped

if you fap always you get weak

fap every now an then = bedder

>Is it fine to cum once every 3 days

Yes. You should cum from time to time. You don't need porn for that.

I was a total antisocial virgin, changed immensely in first two weeks of nofap and got laid first try. Now I'm just antisocial

>going to the gym

Unless you're so big that you NEED to go to a gym to be able to use the kind of equipment you can't keep in the 99%'s kind of household then you should just forget about the gym.

Gym culture is unavoidable, unless you're one of those lucky few who have access to some kind of private deal or whatever.

>I love telling my doctor how many eggs I eat on the daily followed by her horrified expression

Well there's your problem.

>>148187

>Well there's your problem.

Yep. Unfortunately with my union's shitty health insurance (which is still less shit than my work's insurance) I'm extremely limited in who I can see without paying in full – which could be from the low hundreds to the high thousands, possibly multi-kilobuck for surgeries. And this is on top of paying close to $100/mo.

Warning: incoming blog. Since you're in Upsidedown-Land you're probably unfamiliar with the horrors of Burgerstani healthcare: there are "in-network" doctors/specialists/etc and "out-of-network" blahblah. In-network accept your copays etc, the rest do not. Mine happens to be $40 to walk in the door, $60 for specialists, $80 for "urgent care" visits, $350 to enter the emergency room, etc. None of which cover any additional costs like some drug tests (ie pee in a cup to show you're a good goy who doesn't weed/etc) or uncovered bloodwork (eg my insurance company will cover to check cholesterol levels but not testosterone). Ironically my best healthcare provider was Obamacare a couple years back before they suddenly doubled their monthly prices for no apparent fucking reason.

>>148188

…about that same time I qualified for my union's healthcare (have to work 9 consecutive months on full-time before they decide you're a good enough goy to earn the right to a doctor without racking on decades of debt) and I was like "lol fuck Obamacare xD" … and then a few months ago my union's healthcare recently doubled monthly costs AND copays/etc. Perhaps it's time to look at Obamacare again?

>>148188

Man, healthcare in the US is crazy expensive. I have family there and at times they'd come to Brazil to get the needed medical care because it would be much cheaper. And they make a LOT of money.

Depending on your problem, it might be worth it to go to Spain or a country like that and do whatever you need to do. You'll pay half and have a nice vacation

good feels…

i've gotten 2 guys to complement me on my physique within a single week…so thats kind of gay but w/e

i've had a lot of other indicators of interest

from women and also felt a lot of better confidence wise.

and oh yea not to mention feeling healthier and much stronger

fuck off dumbshit

>>147419

Make me faggot

>>147347

Yeah, I don't think that it's possible to not look like an idiot with battle ropes. It's a fucking meme to sell (((overpriced))) rope.

Hey fellow (((/biz/))) people, how do we scam /fit/ some more? Ok, I got it, we buy some big rope, re-brand it "battle rope" and take some pictures of /fraud/ playing with them. Easy money, bitches! Now if only we could scam /fit/ into our next crypto pump and dump!

>>147347

Battleropes fagropes make you look like a retarded toddler. What's the point? Seems gimmicky as fuck to me.

Combato by Bill Underwood

Awrology by Gordon Perrigard

Get Tough by W.E. Fairbairn

All are WWII-era combatives manuals aimed at civilians to quickly learn some effective techniques from a purely need-to-know basis. If you're gonna use a book and a book only, these are what I'd go with.

Bottom's Dream, Arno Schmidt, it weighs 13 pounds so you can use it as a weapon and crush someone's skull open with it. It's also thick enough to probably provide bullet cover.

Run for 5 minutes.

Then 6.

Then 7.

Then 8.

If you don't drink water every day, start drinking it.

There's nothing wrong with simple carbs, but there is plenty wrong with all the nuts and seeds you suggest. You want to stay lean? I suggest you eat 0% nuts and seeds. Polyunsaturated fat is the most fattening thing which can be eaten.

Your diet is also horrible in another regard: the calcium to phosphorus ratio. Very few people are capable of eating the amount of greens necessary to get a decent calcium intake, and to make matters worse you dislike simple carbs, which includes fructose, which helps keep phosphorus levels down, and you don't like rice, which isn't terribly high in phosphorus. But you love that buckwheat which is ridiculous. When calcium intake is higher, it stimulates various processes that keep the metabolic rate high. Practical ways to get enough calcium and lower the ratio of phosphorus include: eating dairy products, egg shells, and fish bones.

>>147154

Eat oats.

>>145652

>d still easily feel satiated and get

THIS

The good old bench press

Sumo DLs

no

Parallel grip pull ups

Nothing in particular i guess, the main 3 i guess

Lifting my bros and gals here on /fit/ every night is my favorite lift.

Also skwats, clean, and hill sprints

>>148070

edit:

for my breakfast after the fasted workout,

I chose super high testosterone boosting foods such

as onions, garlic, almonds, figs, eggs, steak, etc…

I also made a bomb ass oatmeal with cinnamon

and various fruits including mangos, strawberries, etc.

so that the combination of glucose(complex carb)

and fructose (fruits in oatmeal) and lean meat (steak cooked almost raw)

just made my insulin response that much better.

Just do it.. whatever the physical training, it adds up

>>148136

nah. when you get more experienced, you'll realize that there is an optimal mode where you're taking in the right nutrients, and expending calories that will affect your hormones.

update: i feel way better after a week of doing the HIIT sprints. the first day was only 4 x 30 sprint, 30 rest, then 3rd day was 4 x 30 sprint, 90 rest, and I will go up and up till I can do 8 x 30/90

the difference is I feel WAY more energy and just better overall. I feel the results will come with time

>>148109

i would recommend that too.

keeping ur protein super high will keep ur muscles big in theory.

IF will just keep ur manly levels high but if you can manage to do some kind of HIIT around the time of ur meal that doesnt use ur arm, you're golden

>you gotta eat fat to burn fat VS fat burns in the fire that is being fueled by carbs

I tried many things over the years. You gotta see what works best for you. Keto is ok if you're very fat. I do classic clean dieting these days by which I mean high "good" carbs/moderate protein/low fat. Protein is overrated in general.

>>148134

how are potatoes lacking nutrients? what's wrong with a B vitamin supp in addition to white rice? nothing Why doesn't organic rice and potatoes exist in Australia? What's wrong with fruit as a carb source? nothing What's wrong with sugar? nothing Anti-sugar people are basically religious zealots. There is nothing wrong with simple sugar sources of carbohydrates. Sugar is not fattening. Body fat contains dietary fat. The foundation of ketogenic dietary advice is broscience and pseudoscience. Not even wild carnivores do keto. They get fresh glucose from blood and glycogen from fresh meat.

>>148105

You are mistaken. If the heart rate is high at rest for reasons that don't have to do with stress and adrenaline, then the level of energy is high and the organism is lively. A slow heart rate is reptilian. There is a reason mammals are warmer and have faster hearts.

>>148106

Could you show me a source on that? Everything I can find basically says this:

“A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. Generally, a lower heart rate at rest implies more efficient heart function and better cardiovascular fitness. For example, a well-trained athlete might have a normal resting heart rate closer to 40 beats per minute.”

>The drug industry has been lowering the numbers for cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood glucose that are considered to be the upper limit of normal, increasing the number of customers for their prescription drugs. Recently, publications have been claiming that the upper limit of the normal range of heart rates should be lower than 100 beats per minute; this would encourage doctors to prescribe more drugs to slow hearts, but the way the evidence is being presented, invoking the discredited "wear and tear" theory of aging, could have many unexpected harmful consequences. It would reinforce existing misconceptions about heart functions.

>A basic property of the heart muscle is that when it beats more frequently, it beats more strongly. This is called the staircase effect, from the way a tracing of its motion rises, beat by beat, as the rate of stimulation is increased. This is a logical way to behave, but sometimes it fails to occur: In shock, and in heart failure, the pulse rate increases, without increasing the volume of blood pumped in each contraction.

> Szent-Gyorgyi found that estrogen treatment decreased the staircase effect, while progesterone treatment increased the staircase. He described the staircase as a situation in which function (the rate of contraction) builds structure (the size of the contraction). Progesterone allowed "structure" to be built by the contraction, and estrogen prevented that.

(It's interesting to compare these effects of the hormones to the more general idea of anabolic and catabolic hormones, in which more permanent structures in cells are affected.)

> The rapid and extensive alternation of contraction and relaxation made possible by progesterone is also produced by testosterone (Tsang, et al., 2009). Things that increase the force of contraction are called inotropic, and the things that promote relaxation are called lusitPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Unless I misread admittedly, I skimmed a bit, it looks like that is talking about normal and active heart rates which should be anywhere from 100-200 depending on how active you are being. A resting heart rate where you aren't doing anything should be lower for efficiency. A normal heart rate and a resting one are different.

>>148129

There is no need for "efficiency". Food and resources are not scarce, so a conservative metabolism is deliberately handicapping yourself to hold out for better times that will never come because now is the time to live—not later. A slow heart means everything is slow, including muscle repair and healing in general. The heart rate increases with vigor and vitality. Endurance runners arrogantly assume their heart rates have slowed down because they have improved themselves. In reality they have incurred metabolic injury by running their bodies into the ground.

>>148087

then you have been brainwashed by (((them))).

>>148087

then you're a cuck

unless you have a serious inheritable genetic issue, like being black, in which case you shouldn't have kids

>>148104

Ever since I was 14, I didn’t want kids. Don’t even go there. And why do you care?

>>148112

>you’re a cuck

Good job using words that you don’t understand. And talk about being edgy with the black comment.

>>148013

How insecure are you to ask other people about yourself.
