And he talks about carrying the heaviest burden you can manage lol. Always aiming up even by just a small amount. Motherfucker was channeling weightlifters this whole time.

holy shit, I had a dream today that helped me to come to a realization. If I dont have a yard to do yeoman stuffs, I can rent a cheap volks yard near me. Even my urban place has those. They are cheap and its like 200 square meters on some. Enough to do very minor farming.

>Languages and Linguistics

You need to constantly practice otherwise you start to forget, the good news is that once you 'forget the language' you truly don't, you'll pick it up quicker than when you started. I am not gonna shill Spanish Spain history is fun to learn, but Spanish is easy to pick up especially since local tv antenna in burgerland always has a Spanish channel and watch movies re-translated in Spanish at night, doesn't matter the area. Someone should make a infograph for /pol/-approved movies in French or German or whatever.

Is anyone able to post the pic with proper push up forms? I've done some push ups recently and my back was hurting.

Also, is the book Might Is Right a good source to base your morality off of? Should I adopt this mindset in my life?

upper/mid back? Keep your shoulders is straight, likely your shoulders are rounded

lower back? Squeeze your stomach and glutes at the same time, this will keep in a straight plank position.

>>98252

at least you have a job, I am stuck on disability and bored out of my mind, I've practicing Spanish (it helped me with my speech impediment, thinking of learning a new language but I don't know what) , guitar, doing puzzles in my room, practicing C and python for fun. I know I will never get a job without going to government VR, I am very blackpilled in my job aspects.

>>Lazy nigger here

OK.Heres my story,[but just bear in mind english isn't my mother tongue so sorry about unforseen grammar issues]

Idk where to start;my life has begun like nomads due to my fathers job.We've been travelled all over my country and whenever i manage to get my social life get goin; we jumped to next house,next city also next friends.

So after all of this I cant find myself neither talkative nor social.But its not a huge handicap for me especially as i said above meeting too much people all over the continent and knowing human behaviour makes it much more meaningless.

After theese assumptions my life turned like world revolve around me and i just care about myself not the people.So back in the day(when i was a little child) i addicted to books and videogames then porn has came in to my life and slowly but steadly takes my will or passion to make anything.Right now I can be able to do something but not like the old days.(i.e. I bought Corto Maltese Series but couldn't open it after covid19-lockdown)You know even before porn has came in to my life everything almost perferct.Whenver I did a boring job its still satisfy me cuz i know i could award myself with at the end of the road with conclusion.

But now everything is seems like pointless and doesnt worth my effort but i know after 30 years ill prob regret this so I notice that I really need to get discipline.

>IQ tests/improvements could be good I'll try that

Im also wondering your idea on the difference between nofap/noporn.

>>98644

Well porn with a dude fucking a woman in it is basically cuckoldry and disgusting so only watch porn with a woman in it (lesbian stuff is degeneracy though so avoid it). After a while switch to using your imagination instead of porn. Control and get rid of bad fantasies and sensations. Remove the trash sensations and mental imagery/words/thoughts/sounds. Meditate on moral issues, who you want to be and your character to figure out what you wish to never compromise on and to become.

I am overall unsure about nofap as perhaps it leads to a more juvenile individual.

You need to learn dopamine discipline. Dopamine is the spike of pleasure and "gimme gimme" (give me give me). When you feel hungry, do not eat but wait for at least an hour. When you are thirsty, do not drink but wait for at least an hour. Do not drink soda. Practice impulse control like this. In the same way, if you have something you want done then you must exert yourself and force yourself to do something. If you force yourself to do something for 10 minutes you may find it easy to continue. If you do not find it easy to continue after 10 minutes, you can exert yourself as much as possible to power through until you do, or stop and put in another 10 minutes the next day. If you regularly put in the time and effort your mind and body will adapt and you will find more motivation to do it slowly but surely.

You put in Willpower or Force and your body/mind/whatever grows stronger wherever it is necessary to conform to your Will/Force.

I believe getting a mate/gf/wife and having a child is the secret or unconscious motivation for why we do many things, as well as social pressures both positive and negative, like status and shame. Thus, when both of these things lose much of their meaning to us, or perhaps the ideas surrounding and relating to these things (like pure love or something), we lose motivation. When we watch porn we get the sense that finding a mate is very easy and so we unconsciously or our biology asks "what else is there to do then?"

But there are sources of motivation besides these things and so you must find that place, that reason, that source. For now you must learn Force however, open confrontation with boredom and resistance both internal and external. You must battle in the war against boredom, apathy, inaction, failure, exhaustion and tolerance. That is just part of adulthood and the universe my man. May you learn truths and gain understanding. Don't be a slave. You must realize that you are a soul incarnated in flesh, which is a very invasive experience – and so to lose motivation from watching porn just goes to show how ruled you are by the flesh you inhabit; and I'm guessing you can't stop watching porn, thus you are ruled by flesh in that way too.

Learn to move what is inert and stop what has momentum.

>Does this help?

I'm non-white, is it moral for me to use the materials you guys have compiled for the study of maths and physical strength? For several reasons beyond my reach i live in a white country with no prospects on leaving and i can't help but feel like a leech sometimes, enjoying a prosperity unbecoming of my kin, would this not be an extension of that?

I want to self improve but wouldn't this be doing so off your backs?

I tried to leave once but i couldn't get used to living in a non white majority environment. This anxiety of being uprooted is always with me, but I'm still a hypocrite living my life.

In any case i like y'all and hope you don't die off.

>>98933

>soul incarnated in flesh

Since the soul is affected and interacts with the body, maybe one should call it the "ghost" incarnated in flesh and leave the soul as a concept for something difficult to imagine and describe.

Since your Ghost is incarnated in flesh you must develop Ghost Muscle or Power. This is where I believe Gnostic and Hermetic arts, practices, ideas come into play as I think the gnostics are Ghost-centric. One Gnostic practice is to gain insight into the nature of a thing merely by perceiving it for long enough (like understanding water and fire by observing it for long enough and then perhaps some higher Ghost nature that may borderline on something between Ghost and Soul or just Ghost can recognize water or fire-like things in different parts of life such as human psychology or economics or some shit, hence demonstrating their understanding). Another gnostic or hermetic idea is to swing from the pendulum of Desire to Will, as Desire is feminine and Will is masculine, and you won't dissolve into the void or some shit when you die if you're of Will rather than Desire. As well their goal is to reach Ego-hood, which won't dissolve after they die as it is a result of being of the Will polarity rather than Desire. I'm not sure how their ideas actually stand in reality but I know that a person of Will is stronger and deals with chaotic, dangerous and fucked up shit better than one of Desire, but the reality of it is kinda vague and I don't recommend becoming a gnostic/hermeticist. To add: I think people love the whole Saiyan power up shit because it basically exercises your Ghost.

In the east there is a belief that a ghost is a yin soul whilst a spirit is a yang soul. There is also a belief that a ghost can become a spirit by flying into a lightning storm and being struck by lightning, but they often just die instead. Sometimes I use this idea.

>IQ test

Web tests are shit but that's good. The discipline from mathematics is pretty good so you should do it anyway.

Thinking about my suggestion to play Chess or Go, I should tell you that being competitive is very good for you. If you compete with others and try to beat them it should help you in getting shit done and achieving your goals. So if you wish to read, perhaps look at what professionals are saying and what ideas are predominate in high level spaces such as politics (including local), radio, television, courts, corporations, schools, etc. and see if your ideas, thoughts, and agendas can out-compete these folk (at least in your head and after perhaps getting feedback from some smart people whether you'd actually have a chance). If you can set up your activities to be in competition with others I think you'll discover you're more ambitious and motivated to achieve.

>dopamine, seratonin

Yes, delay. This way the impulse to do something is more in your control. As well, making yourself do something – such as eating after you workout even if you're not hungry. Serotonin is much different than dopamine, you can check out the Braverman test to see what the recent theory of its affect on a person's personality and physiology is. They describe GABA and Acetylcholine too. You don't need to cut out a bunch but you should choose the higher quality activity -> so read high quality science fiction when you do, and don't forget your obligations such as the 10 minutes of non-fiction reading or the 30 minutes of math studies.

You can start with something dumb simple like 5 minutes of reading or studying, or 1 minute even, then each day add a minute or 30 seconds until you're up to your goal #. Slow accumulation. Compounding interest.

>Richard Dawkins I Love Israel

I have to talk about the stupidity of this image. First, what is the relationship between atheism and loving Israel? It's perfectly possible to be an atheist and anti-semite. It's perfectly possible to be an atheist and not love the jews. Second, Richard Dawkins is much smarter than you, that's why you hate him. You use pretexts to be able to mock him, why? Because you hate it. Why you hate him? Because he's smarter than you. He uses his logic and common sense to destroy religions and mythologic concept of god. And you, what are your arguments? Nothing. You have no solid arguments. It's for this reason that you make fun of Richard Dawkins and atheists, because you have nothing to say to them, because you have no arguments, you have nothing to contradict his words. A religious is completely incapable of winning a debate against an atheist, it's totally impossible. Why? Because the atheist have logic. The religious have no logic, because there is no logic in religions. Can you prove the existence of your god, your paradise, your hell or your angels? No, you can't, it's impossible. It's for this reason that atheists will always win debates against religious. Because they have reality, nature and logic with them. Religious don't live in reality, they live in their religions and their religions are completely unreal, their religions are completely contrary to the reality of nature.

>Claims intellectual superiority while strawmanning and appealing to authority

Cringe my man.

How much does weight fluctuate when cutting? I seem to be unable to get a consistent measurement. I am about 3 weeks into a 5 month cut, I thought I was getting a good 500 calorie deficit (using myfitnesspal). One day last week it looked like I was kind of on track to be losing about a pound a week, but since then I've gone right back up a couple pounds and seem to be staying there.

Am I likely doing something wrong or am I just having bad luck on the scale, am literally full of shit in the morning, and a dam break somewhere and I'll go down significantly one day?

>>99241

>Could it also be that I have a bit of a pot belly?

Pot bellies tend to literally drag you down, and cause you to hunch slightly to compensate for the extra front-end weight. If you are feeling lower back pain when doing push-ups it must be something you are doing wrong in your form, possibly letting your stomach dip down low, causing your back to arch inversely, as in, arch downwards or inwards towards the ground. If you are pushing your bodyweight and putting that strain on your back it's not going to feel good. Keep your back straight as possible, even if it's difficult due to the extra stomach weight, that's kind of the point, it's supposed to be difficult. Consider recording a video of yourself doing your push ups and then watch it back and see if your back is dipping or you are doing some other weird unconscious thing with your body or form you are not aware of.

It's self-improvement for leeches. This board isn't about "self-improvement for all". He's stuck where he is by his own power, not outside forces. He should work, save up, and move to a brown/tan country that is appropriate for his race. He should find a board with browns/tans like an Egyptian or Arab board or whatever race he is, and repeat some talking points of ours and try backing them up and uplifting the culture of said board. He should evolve some browns in real life too.

Your idea of self-improvement is hedonistic and homo.

>>99162

>atheism israel

The message is that the soulless bugmen will take virtue-signaling kikes as their spiritual guidance when their favorite idol/personality and/or intellectual cult leader espouses how great they are because in their attempt to be rid of illusions they've created a vacuum but have not filled it with reality, and are without any sense of direction or guidance in most any matter like blind men that can not perceive the terrain all around them but only listen within some safe echo chamber (as the world is for the seeing and easily predates upon the blind and vulnerable, and the terrain is unforgiving to blind missteps).

It's funny.

>>99241

>juvenile

Yeah I don't know I'm trying to figure that one out. I'm trying to figure out everything that goes into the wild/domestic divide and mature/immature, and related distinctions. Being a coomer makes you juvenile, but being a church boy/boy scout makes you juvenile as well. It seems that the battle of wills itself is what makes one strong and more masculine – so battling to not coom or even the battle to coom more (when you don't want to) might both result in growing, but I must look into it more.

>>99241

If your lower back hurts from push ups it's because you're working it out. Just keep doing push ups and strengthen the psoas with lunge jumps (get into a lunge, then jump up and switch to the opposite lunge position when landing) and strengthen shit in general with an ab wheel. You don't need to buy anything just look up ab wheel exercises and use something that gets the job done.

>I'd say he's as qualified as 50% of college graduates but could easily be more qualified with some more training/education.

Training/Education is just middle-management buzzwords. Once you're in and you're doing it for fun you can pick up anything within a week or two on your own. The majority of people who are in it are in it for the money, and since they only mindlessly memorize shit, they can't spot the universal rules between different languages/frameworks/etc.

I don't disagree, I just can't force the guy to go so I might as well give him constructive advice.

I think it's mostly about having the will to not coom, and instead channeling that energy into something productive. Like how monkey's in the wild rarely masturbate but their zoo caged cousins masturbate much more frequently because they have nothing to do. They don't have to fight, hunt, forage, keep alert from predators etc. They can just chill and fap and be degenerate cage monkeys. The challenge of surviving keeps the wild monkeys from being pointless coomers. I think the correct answer is minimze your fapping to like once a week, or weekends only or something realistic like that and instead try to channel that energy and drive into something more productive like /fit/ or some kind of other physical/creative project.

>If your lower back hurts from push ups it's because you're working it out.

I dunno dude lower back pain is often a warning sign. If you are doing a workout that should be an arm/chest type of exercise but instead your lower back hurts you are probably doing something wrong, and there is a big difference between "muscle burning and recovery" pain and "I fucking strained my back" pain. I've felt the difference when I first started doing deadlifts, and hurt my lower back with shitty form my first time or two before I fixed myself.

>His back hurts because his core is weak as fuck. He needs to do more core and psoas exercises.

Can confirm. If your lower back hurts when doing pushups you have terrible form and are not using your core muscles to keep your body flat during the motion. I had severe problems with that and my back ached every time I did pushups. You have to use your entire body and especially make sure to tense your abdominal muscles.

The miscommunication would be that: I'm just saying that it's his weak back/core.

Infrared lamp meditation. Well I just combine the two. The infrared lamp compels your circadian rhythm to be on point, if you missed sleep before, or if you browsed deep into the night. The meditation calms the mind once more to be in the calm state of sleep. Biological and mental works great to make me sleep, basically cured all of my problems related to it.

Are there any worthwhile nootropics? Due to a variety of factors that were outside of my control at the time, I lost the ability for deep focus. I've tried a handful of racetams, noopept, etc. with mediocre results.

Sounds like you did it for the vainglory (attention). Try Overcoming Gravity; you'll become a gymnast and it'll be fun to defy gravity. And instead of 'owning the gym' think of owning your land, your neighborhood (taking care of it not exploiting it like some petty thug of course), and your country. And also whatever profession/domain of skill/expertise you seek to, like programming.

For higher IQ I recommend starting with some mathematics. I am creating my own curriculum which I'll give you the first 4 books from to help raise your IQ and so you can do some more in-depth problem-solving when you get to it; and then an introduction to theoretical computer science. The first two books have mathematics in their content and give you the bird's eye view of mathematics and then a possible future. Mathematical Logic = Logic by the way.

When doing regular pushups, ensure your elbows point backwards. They should lever back parallel to your ribs, as opposed to angled away from the torso.

Surprisingly good thread. I have a question for all browsing here: can money solve any of the problems plaguing us and preventing self-improvement?

Theoretically speaking, if you guys could become billionaires tomorrow, what would you realistically use the money for?

What would be your overall goal in life?

I would assume that you would first use that money to improve your physical health and then something along the lines of creating a family and building a self-sufficient farm in an isolated rural area somewhere in a predominantly white community and home schooling your children to be strong and deprogrammed from the kike propaganda of media and public education.

>lisp

>SICP

Reminder that although lisp is maybe interesting to dabble in, nobody in the industry actually uses it for anything because it's not a very good programming language, you'll be hard pressed to find actual software written with it. It also doesn't let you to talk to the computer appropriately. Most of the people who advocate for it are pretentious faggots who do so because it's a weird and unusual and "hard" language and it makes you seem unique compared to everyone else. SICP itself also isn't a very productive book if you want to actually learn to program, but similarly faggots push it because it's supposedly a very hard book and makes them feel "advanced". It's not a bad book but don't take it as the holy grail of programming books especially if you want to learn to program.

Unless you're learning mainly for a job, be wary of any language that isn't C or C++. Languages like Python are very popular and it's very useful for getting shit done with very little effort, but that right there is the reason it's popular; because it's easy to do shit with little effort. If that's what you want then Python might very well be the language for you. But if you want to learn programming at it's core which leads to high performance programs, then C and C++ are what you should be looking at. But also be aware of C++, because the committee who designs some of it's features are completely retarded so a big part of the language and it's "standard libraries" aren't actually good. Steer away from anything that puts the word "modern" in the same sentence with "C++". There's other languages that can be alright and on a similar page as C/C++, but that will only result in autistic /tech/ arguments that don't lead to anything productive, look into those after you know how to program and want to experiment.

If on the other hand you want to go even deeper and learn how computer software operates and don't necessarily want to make programs, then definitely look into x86 Assembly. All languages become assembly at their core at some point before your computer runs it. Writing assembly by hand is very clumsy and time consuming, but there's basically no way to get closer to the hardware from the software side.

>>105227

It also really depends on what you want to build. I'm fairly certain that the majority of polacks probably want to go into web development. So C/C++ aren't good options for this. If you want to be a web dev, you need to learn HTML, CSS, Javascript, frontend and backend frameworks, PHP, Linux and some other stuff.

I've attached an amazing guide for everything you need to learn web development. It is completely possible to learn everything by yourself and become a quality full stack web dev if you have the discipline.

>>105234

For sure. The web in particular is an anomaly in software because your options are very restricted. You can't use anything other than HTML/CSS for web pages, and javascript is basically the only way to script it (WASM is a thing but it's more esoteric and still not fully supported). There's a lot more options for servers, you could even write it with C, but your tools and libraries are very limited if you don't use certain languages like PHP/Go.

But on that topic, I don't think that learning webdev is very /SIG/ unless you're learning it for the sake of money. It's one of the best areas in tech for jobs, but the software that the web is built on is arguably all shit and you can't do a lot to make it less shit because of the way it's all set up. You'll basically be learning to shovel garbage for the sake of hugely overpaying jobs, you're learning something that sells, not something that enriches your understanding of computers.

>>105227

>blah blah blah blah

If the computer scientists suggest it in order to change the way you think about programs then I'll read it. Personally I want to work from first order principles (mathematics -> electrical engineering, signal coding and physical switches -> old old hardware, micro code (machine code, assembly) -> microkernel on old hardware (simpler than z80) et cetera all whilst trying to implement higher order programming concepts and applications.

>Learning mainly for a job

Can we please not saturate the market with another pajeet.

>Learn x86 Assembly

At least you are a reasonable man.

Honestly though I want to see the market pop instead of being the camel that is carrying us through this economic desert. So much bloat shit, so many security issues, so many privacy issues. The trend's gotta stop. I think the best place to start is the hardware, but a change in paradigm would be necessary to really shift any trend or splinter off a large chunk of it (a high quality chunk) to go in the better direction.

I think hardware that is easy to security audit should be the first step. If one can put together a frankenstein of sorts with full security audit and put it on the market (manual for auditing oneself online) then that would attract a strong niche market one could grow (like a crystal? that can be quick in the right conditions). There are many different ideas out there but I like the idea of many individual micro-CPUs that can remain separate from the other CPUs on the hardware level (their own "loop" through the other hardware) so you would have, say 8 separate computers in your computer or more. Instead of virtual machines, just multiple machines. And then of course you could get them to coordinate but it would require you use a separate I/O that is specifically for "machine control I/O" and from here you can connect or disconnect CPUs from one another with consumer-appropriate software (just run a command, push a button) and you can run it with 0 security of course and bypass this entire security measure because you don't give a fuck.

I posted this in another thread but my point is that if people go from the ground up we could get some competition for the Intel AMD botnet. There are people running Rasberry Pi computers ffs; they just connect 20 of them together and they're running Crysis. How much easier do you think it is to develop high security for a Rasberry Pi that just gets copied to 19 other Rasberry Pi's? How much easier do you think it is to find the pre-installed backdoor on a little Rasberry Pi?

All the cool stuff is getting done with these EE/CS hybrid nerds putting Rasberry Pi on drones and creating a literal botnet by having them do cloud computing while running some "swarm behavior autopilot" literally swarming in some designated area whilst ripping terabytes of dolphin porn from the internet over the McDonalds wifi connection.

Might be useful to you.

These are awesome tastes. I love math, philosophy, and biology. I am about to finish up all my core requirements for a math degree at the end of May. Next year I just have to take care of credit requirements with electives, so I'm almost done, and I've already finished all the hard STEM classes (or I will anyhow, as soon as I take my finals in complex analysis and Abstract Algebra II).

Anyway, I'm planning on going to grad school either for applied math, cognitive science, or mathematical biology (specifically, I'm interested in formal models in epistemology, linguistics, and game theory). It's cool to see that other anons into self-improvement are also into the same academic subjects: the sort of combination of math and liberal art/humanities that was really the historical driving force behind scientific advancement, even though the empirical and computational sciences have become more popular in recent decades. A lot of academics would probably argue that this is just a side-effect or consequence of the empirical sciences reaching their "mature" stage, but I don't actually think that's true at all. There has certainly been a lot of progress in the all of the physical, natural, behavioral, and social sciences, but there has also been a lot of stagnation in areas where it still looks like we have a lot of room for growth. I think a key factor in this regard is actually the fact that most empirical scientists are philosophically, and even mathematically illiterate. Neuroscience, economics, and physics are probably the best examples. I think a lot of the stagnation that we've seen in areas like fundamental physics and the study of consciousness is actually a result of the fact that most physicists don't even have a basic understanding of stuff like Plato, Kant, or Wittgenstein on the one hand, and neuroscientists don't have any understanding of mathematics beyond entry-level differential equations, nor have they completely taken seriously the philosophical work of anyone besides Dennett and Chalmers (although, to be fair at least most neuroscientists are educated on philosophy, unlike their counterparts in physics departments).

This is your brain on autism

Nobody is equating Atheism with progressivism, globalism, or Zionism. Nobody is saying that Dawkins fans love Israel. In fact, a lot of people on here probably consider themselves to be atheists, and there's nothing wrong with that in itself (although personally I'm more inclined to Platonism, deism, polytheism, etc.). The point of the picture is to creat a general impression, a collage of faggotry that all hangs together, so to speak. Has anyone ever espoused or believed every single one of those views? Maybe, and maybe not. That's beside the point. In short, you seem to be taking this meme a little too seriously.

I'm not a fan of mental health professionals or psychiatry, but you should unironically consider the possibility that you have autism.

>>105789

I agree, but I'm the only one posting anything about mathematics or philosophy including the OP ha. I think I'm a third of these posts trying to raise the thread's quality. >>105159 >>105162 these aren't me at least.

Everything you say makes sense and I've been thinking it since maybe Middle School or High School on some of those points (those studying consciousness and physics are philosophically incompetent in such basic ways that my 13 year old knowledge of philosophy, metaphysics and contemplations informed me that they were absolutely tone-deaf ignorant in that area - I'm thinking I must have been right if you agree). As for neuroscience and economics - I think I've noticed a lack of machine learning/computer scientist knowledge, deep game/decision theory applied but I don't look into neuroscience/economics too much, nor have too much education in machine learning or game/decision theory, but I haven't heard much about their applications to neuro/eco either which is mildly disturbing considering their gravitas and how many Math and Computer Science PhDs there are.

You could probably lead the field or be there with the other top contenders if your perceptions hold true.

make that eight

nice mistake to make in a math-heavy thread

>>106395

How about you get her to agree to sit and listen and do her best to answer questions for an hour - no details about what will be said, but she has to sit through the entire thing. She isn't obligated to be convinced, but if she is irrational, if she has no argument, then what really is motivating her? Get her to fully commit an hour of her life to try and convince her of your side of things.

If she can agree, and agree again - and again after you ask her "even if you want to claw your eyes out, you agree to stay the whole hour?" and again after you ask her "even if your heart is pained and mind burning, you will stay the whole hour yes?" and assure her that you will not shout her down or attack her - and agree after, "Even if you do not want to speak or listen, but shut me out completely, you will answer questions to the best of your ability and listen to what I say? " then you have your in. So in the first place you have to adequately mentally prepare her to honor her word, to understand the gravitas of the commitment, and still get her to agree to this.

Then for step two: You convince her. You convince her by facts, logic, sentiment and persuasion. You start with the most acceptable or necessary, and build your case. You get her to agree or disagree, no maybe. No lukewarm. No half n half. You get her to strongly agree or disagree and don't move on until she has agreed or disagreed. If you notice any confusion, any uncertainty, any misgivings, you ask what they are and try to figure out exactly it is that is obstructing certain Agreement or Disagreement. Often you can only get an agreement or disagreement, strongly, by having a very specific point with contingencies. In a way you give every chance for escape to her as you argue along, until finally she understands there's no way out of the argument. She is caught. What she believes and thinks has been totally revealed and they do not stand; she is a contradiction.

If you succeed, maybe she will react emotionally. This is where you placate her. When she is fueled by emotion that you recognize as weakness, not strength - when she is breaking, not building up - you comfort her and try to put into words what she is feeling. Pretty much the entire time, whenever you notice her 'building up' you try to get at what she is thinking. When she is "breaking down" you try to put into words what she is feeling and 'make it OK', console her. You have to be patient, very very patient. Very understanding, comprehending. But don't let her get away with everything - you still have your case and you're seeing it through.

If ever it seems there's an unresolved 'case', an unresolved issue - make note of it but don't get yanked around. Don't let her control the conversation. It is still your hour. Make sure she understands this - it's still your hour and she agreed to listen. You can be polite but firm about it, and sometimes make her feel foolish at her own lack of control (but not so much it just causes her to totally blow up. That's counter-productive. Something subtle, like you sighing and rubbing your forehead will do.).

If you can MAKE THIS HOUR YOURS. If like a salesman's grandest dream, you can sell the unsellable - tender feelings will well up inside her. She will want you back. Can you argue your case and deal with tender feelings as well? Can your beliefs become subtle, nuanced and sensitive enough, or draw, shape the lines and boundaries wisely enough, and assert your position timely enough, to nurture those feelings rather than crush them whilst still compromise on nothing? Whilst still disillusioning her from lies? >>>>> Can you live in the truth and still respond to the affect it has on her and the affect her tender feelings for you have on you?

There's a lot that goes into this but I think it can be done. Make sure to intersperse intense trains of thought with broad truths to support them and help frame it for her. Read some or all Plato, and Aristotle, to get your shit up to s'nuff.

>>106365

>>106377

Rethinking this, base number 10 has the special properties of 10 so it's not arbitrary. To make it self consistent and complete one has to understand the 'theology of 10' though. This is complicated as the theology of 1 and 2, or Nought and 1 and 2, haven't been worked out. The beginnings haven't been begun, thus all of this rests on terrestrial and flawed grounds rather than divine and perfect.

>>106403

>>106395

I would not even attempt the Hour until you can sell tree climbing lessons to a fish.

>>106403

I should make the point that: if ever she feels she's being force through the conversation, you have failed. You must constantly respond to the thought in her head, "I am only listening to this because I have to." You have to turn an obligation into a willingness to engage and think of what you say, into wanting to hear more. At all points you must convince her in several ways, perhaps all at once.

You must tell a story. With each point you must tell a story, ESPECIALLY if it's controversial. Fuck, you might as well bring in pictures of the people who did the research, get some graphs and charts - you have to go the full 110 yards. You have to be passionate - if you are too cool, then the ice cold bitch in her head and heart will not soften.

To get it all done in an hour. . . . Takes quite a bit. Start by trying to get her at 3 hours, and work down to 2. If you can get 2, great. One and a half, good. Prepare for 1. Once you get the hour, you have to use the hour though. Best to use momentum and go that very day or day after. Don't talk small talk, go straight into it. Don't mumble or speak indirectly, go bold and go forth.

Watch "One for the Angels" episode from The Twilight Zone.

I know this is a kind of taboo topic on /pol/ but it's needed. One of the most freeing things you could ever do is to make money without a major time commitment. You could big /sig/ing it up but when you have to wage slave 8 hours a day, commute 2 hours you simply have less time.

I don't necessarily want to be rich but has any Anon's discovered ways to make like $500 a week online or passively. Please help.

>>106992

This is what I mean. /pol/ thinks the only work on earth is working with your hands in the dirt. Learn a trade! Otherwise you just want to be a usurious vampire!

The only people who spout these nonsensical claims are lazy fucks like all the deluded people here who think they can learn anything substantial about anything without pouring thousands of hours into it, and dismiss the people who actually devote themselves to creating new bases of knowledge to avoid the realtiy that you aren't doing anything worthwhile with your life.

Stop being lazy idiots.

>>107006

Why is making money online jewing your brothers? I have made around $16 000 online by creating ads for small businesses, doing data entry etc. How am I jewing people with this. Why does /pol/ hate money so much?

Every single time there is a financial independence thread people climb out of the wood work and start screeching, you don't want to be a jew do you just stay poor or do the least paying but honorable job. Even communists understand that you cannot live like a communist in a capitalist society but /pol/ hates mammon more than fundamental christians.

>>107013

Making money online isn't inherently jewing anyone. It's wages paid for services rendered.

Pretty sure the original question was about passive income or making a lot without actually contributing much though.

Not the same thing.

>>107015

So if I write for instance a great blog post helping other people garden better and I monetize that blog post through ads and make income from it passively I am Jewing people? Making money efficiently isn't wrong.

Why should white people wage slave themselves away to survive? Freeing up your time is the single biggest thing you can do to become better. IF you can earn enough in 5 hours a day instead of 8 you can dedicate 3 hours a day to /sig/

>>107012

>Muh authority

You are a Kike.

>>107020

I don't think we disagree on much here.

If you can earn enough in shorter hours, then you must be very good at what you do or you provide a valuable service that not many else do. In either case, there is work involved.

What the main objection is to is the idea of passive income… something for nothing… or compensation that far exceeds the value of services rendered.

Writing something that people want to read and finding a way to make a buck off of it is not wrong. Passive means you're just making money because you put money into something… this is the realm of money lenders and landlords and such.

There may be an idea derived from the notion that people know themselves through the soil and hard work, but there's nothing wrong with honest white collar work.

>>107031

I think I'm just frustrated and reading your responses through the wrong lens. I don't want to make money for nothing or by doing nothing.

I want to make money in the comfort of my own home, not working for a boss, spending time with my fiance and dictating my own hours. When I have children I want to raise them by being present this is much more important to me than making money and sitting in an office. I'm not against landlords though but your American landlords does seem to be jewy. Home rental serves an important function in society and should be done in a fair honest way but almost the entire world's real estate system is broken and that's a topic for a different time.

>>106755

Ah the apathetic sorts. Yeah most women are like that. For the apathetic sort you have to get them very emotional, take them through the roller coaster. Thus I'd throw that "I won't attack you/shout at you" line out if you tried the Hour method. It's about totally transforming the person, basically. You try and get the strongest and deepest emotions out of them if there's apathy, and then turn that into an opportunity to change them.

Not about books because you have to be the engaging one. She doesn't care what Plato said, gotta make it personal.

I should have figured she was apathetic since all the women I've ever met have been pretty apathetic (besides the ones I liked I guess).

Pathological altruism or Pathological Nihilism/Apathy? Most likely the fucking latter. She doesn't need a bunch of concepts and books (neither do you really), because it's always the simplest and conceivable by thought alone that is truest. The issue with people today is NOTHING but apathy/nihilism. All else stems from this. Pure inertia.

"The only people who spout these nonsensical claims are lazy fucks like all the deluded people here who think they can learn anything substantial about anything without pouring thousands of hours into it"

The claim is about the unrigorous nature of many publications and white papers (research), thus one should be careful and research more vigorously and double check the actual methods and raw data of such research before accepting any conclusions.

So apparently you are too stupid to recognize the irony.

"developed by the evil academia you hate"

And of course you are too stupid to recognize that the only 'hate' was for unrigorous, low standard unreliable academic work. Not academic work itself.

Try writing yourself out a workout schedule for the month and sticking tonthe routine. It's tough but you have to have discipline and a positive mental attitude. Remind yourself why you are working out and how bad you want to achieve your goal. I actually take out a lot of stress and negativity and even self loathing in my workout sessions. Pushing yourself hard physically can actually be very cathartic and almost a form of purification or exorcism in which you have to push through your own mental blockages in order to succeed. For you it will be extremely helpful to remember how good you will look and feel after losing that weight, and getting your health and fitness back in order will help your self esteem and mental state after the military fuckes you up. Remember only positive things come out of working out, do in large part that you have to use positivity and an "I can do it" positive mental attitude to overcome the discipline and negativity issues that are holding you back.

>>112771

I think the science on it should still be recent, but I used all of these methods on myself, for multiple years, and they bore fruit, for I finally managed to acquire this mythical theory of mind. Even tho some diagnosed my with assburgers. I didnt have a genetic preposition towards it tho, maybe just a rough childhood. But growing into the theory of mind at a later age, a lot of things started to make more sense.

Since the chans house many non lowcows, mild retarded individuals, this would be perfect for them.

what? No, I just used kefir, I never had a transplant, its just the more dense and effective compared to the other options. The lore behind it is that the gut biome heals, the vagus nerve functions properly again, and lots of broken regions are no longer broken and function well enough to accommodate the theory of mind.

How do I get back into reading? I'm not going to lie, decades of videogame and internet consumption absolutely fried my brain and turned it it mush.

>>126942

Feelings of self loathing can be difficult to overcome, that's something that takes a lot of unraveling. Are you a genuine autist or some other similar disorder? Was there actually something wrong with you growing up? What's the nature of your relationship with your parents?

>>126942

Be less of an icicle and work out. Break new ground. Eat and drink healthy. Stay away from graveyards, go to high-life places like a forest. Walk in nature every day.

By "not directly getting off to it" you mean that you're not literally getting off to it but you're just saying you're getting off to it because you keep doing it and perhaps achieve some catharsis from it? No porn, and nofap either way.

A girl who is fat and whom i am not attracted to at all just asked me to hang out. I used the excuse of the coronoavirus to decline . I told her “I’ll keep it in mind.”

I don’t want to hang out with her and I also don’t want to come off as impolite. I don’t want to hurt her feelings. How do I get out of this? I’m not the best at social interactions, let alone with girls.

1) Just start doing push-ups with your legs elevated, like from a chair or bed or something. You should see results quite quickly. Make sure to keep correct form and use your abdominal muscles throughout the movement. You could also get a chin-up bar and place it somewhere in your house. Just do some exercises whenever you walk past it.

3) Don't necessarily eat less. Just stop with the sugar. Just stop. There is literally no reason at all to fill your stomach with that shit. Watch out: There are tons of sugar in ordinary condiments such as ketchup. Read the ingredients list before purchasing stuff. Also eat fewer carbs and more meat/fish/eggs.

Self improvement that isn't fight focused is nigger tier.

>>128579

Don't listen to that other faggot. Sprint for 10 seconds after a light warm up (run at your top speed as is safe that is - a fast jog if your knees are shit or something). Rest for 15 minutes, do whatever in the house. Do another 10 second sprint. Do this for a total of 4x. Sprint 3x a week.

After 2 weeks do it for a total of 5x in a day. After a month do it for a total of 6x in a day.

Now besides that I would recommend power cleans but I doubt you have a barbell, so get an adjustable dumbbell or two for free from craigslist or set of dumbbells that goes up to 80 lbs (don't spend money I'm just recommending you do 1 or 2 hand Overhead Presses; you can use a canvas sack full of sand and water or keg, both arguably better than a dumbbell), down to 20 lbs, and do 1 arm overhead presses. Do them outside so you can throw the weight onto the grass if you drop it. Go for light weight, light weight being 20 lbs or so, holding it in lockout for 5 seconds then slowly descending with the weight over 5 seconds, but explosive when you put it up. Don't use your legs to hurl it up too much but do it a little. Do this for 10 reps and 3 sets each side. Don't do 3 sets on one side then 3 on the other, alternate arms each set. Overhead press every day you don't sprint. Add 10 lbs each week. At 50 lbs change the reps to 5, sets to 5, do overhead press 3x a week instead of 4x, and add 5 lbs every week instead of 10 lbs. At 70 lbs go with 3 reps, 6 sets. At 80 lbs congrats, get heavier weights and get into weight lifting in general. If you don't find cheap or free dumbbells then get a keg and fill it with water until it's 1.5x the weight prescribed and use both hands. The water sloshing around makes it more difficult. You can get iron sand as well and fill it with that when you need it much heavier.

The overhead press and sprint cover quite a bit.

Take chondroitin, glucosamine if you have knee issues. Mega-dose it. Krill oil is also very good.

>>129035

>>128579

Have a two-day routine.

1) Deadlift 5reps x 5sets. Standing overhead press 5x5. Bench 5x5. Don't lift until failure, quit each set with a rep or two. Lift heavy as you can.

2) Pull-ups. 5 wide, 5 narrow, then repeat. Perform each rep from a dead hang and use a slow form to clear your chin over the bar, lowering yourself slowly back to a dead hang again. If you can't do this use an assist machine at the gym.

Standing barbell curls: 5x5.

That's all you need, really. 45 minutes in & out.

I lost 50lbs in 6 months doing this and it changed my life. Boosted my self confidence and led to smashing results with women.

>>128579

fitness is important just like reading, and find what motivates you to lift, then think of that when you don't want to lift. being fit and slight muscular really helps when socializing, there's a russian saying,something like this: you're greeted by your appearance and then they say farewell by your intelligence

x Go where there is a virgin-rich environment. Don't hunt for a wife. Become a part of the community and get known as an eligible, hard-working smart-saving, single guy who has high standards.

x Don't ever be seen with anything like the town pump. You will often meet a great girl through friends and relatives who introduce you, after observing you for a while.

Remember, outside of the pozzed areas of the world, courting is often done exactly as it ever was supposed to be done: through real, live, in-person "coincidental meetings."

x Girls are the godesses of creating "coincidental opportunities."

I pity you

I haven't been sleeping well for nearly two years now. Can't concentrate and my memory is non-existent. Go to bed early, work-out, clean diet; nothing seems to work. I've even taken up meditation the last week, since I'm so desperate.

Is there anything I could do to help clear my head? It feels like my level of awareness comes and goes regardless of how much I sleep. I have identical symptom to those in the Dopamine Deficiency chart >>105062.

Please, I truly wish to better myself, but I am starting to lose hope.

It's a matter of strength. I will help you with a visual orthopedic that will elucidate the problem and solution. After this go to >>>/pnd/132110 and read the books attached as well as the book "The Art of Memory" in the following post. I also recommend reading Kant as he will free you entirely from intellectual blindness.

Now for the technique: Focus on an object sitting someplace about 1 foot away. A pen, perhaps. Get as close as you can then without your vision becoming blurry. Now, whenever your vision is blurred, focus until it is as clear as you can manage. Now move back to where it's crystal clear again. Now move a bit closer and try to improve the close-range in which you can make the object crystal clear. After 3 minutes of this, perhaps 2, perhaps 5 depending on the 'fitness level' of your eyes, start moving back. As you do so keep the object crystal clear in your vision, unbroken eye contact with the object. It's most important that you hold the object in your attention and focus, mentally, equally so as visually. To visually focus requires mental focus. Keep moving back and make notice of every loss of detail - stop at the range you lose a detail, the texture perhaps, and get back to the point where you noticed you lost sight of say, the texture. Refocus and regain vision of it. Now try and see the texture when pulling slightly away. Increase the distance you can see texture or whatever detail. After about 5! minutes of working on the first detail vision threshold, move back until you lose another detail. Might be after a few inches you lose sight of another detail. Spend 3 minutes on this detail. On the third detail or quality you lose sight of, spend 2 minutes. Now move back back back losing perhaps several details, rest your eyes for a bit, then look back in the direction of the object after closing your eyes a while and try to lock onto the object in the least amount of time and get as many details of it possible in focus. Now look down at the ground or ceiling or sky, and walk forward a ways towards it, close your eyes, then open and close your eyes quickly whilst looking generally where you think the pen or object will be with the purpose of impressing upon your mind the object in that flash. How well did you do? Were you looking in the right place? Did you grasp onto the wrong object? Was it out of focus? Now try again. FLASH. Better? Good. Get a step closer and try again. FLASH. More details this time? No? Flash again. FLASH. More details? Good. Now back up a ways, try again. FLASH. Did you see the object? Yes? Good. Try again. FLASH. Better? The same? Alright. Open your eyes and go pick up the object and see if it holds an entirely different quality for you now, or if everything around you is of a different quality now.

This is like a visual cleaning of sorts. An orthopedics, a training, a powerful exercise. It will help you process visual information including visual memories and grasp at your environment with lucidity. It certainly has a neurological and mental effect, so do it.

Now another visual technique: Look at very far away things daily. Look at tree tops and try to get visual focus of them, seeing more and more details. Look at mountain peaks, look at people far away, try and read license plates far away, and try to memorize what you see.

Memory is a muscle so memorizing random shit can help. You need the read/write strength in order to memorize and use memories. If you don't have that then you don't got shit.

You should get a fruit/vege concentrate liquid vitamin, krill oil, shroom blend supplement (not magic shrooms), and perhaps eat a high cbd edible a couple hours before going to sleep one night in case that 'resets' some things (acts as medicine). Drink chai tea, add turmeric or get a container of curry powder to add to it (as a health supplement there's a lot of good stuff in there), and add some coconut oil or butter.

This will likely solve the issue and make you better than you were, but it's good to work your brain hardcore, work out more, and in general struggle until you pull through shit.

Maybe get tested for heavy metal poisoning and parasites if this doesn't work. If you rely on sleep you'll not improve so you have to just struggle out of it. Use your willpower, see this as an opportunity for training, and have inviolable faith in your evolutionary agency and power. Struggle out of it.

I just bought some books, so no to your first question. I buy books I consider standard bearers or references, such as classics, textbooks/technical books, or reference material like an old dictionary or something. If the book is very expensive I don't like buying it either. If I would like to pass it onto someone I buy it or plan on buying it when I have more space and cash. I mostly skim pdfs and don't read them thoroughly. I post them as a resource to others.

>>134591

Hmm. Interesting.

My kids read a lot, and I'm sure it's because they see my wife and I reading. I think if I was reading from an ereader they would just see me "using a device". I also like being physically surrounded by books. There is only one room in my house not full of books and that's the bathroom where the steam would damage them. Litereally every other room has lots of books.

Physical books are a great focal point for discussion when you have guests. Guests naturally will take a look through your books and this leads to a discussion of the ideas in them. The physical books advertise your commitment to ideas. The same can be said for physical copies of music (your guests can view your music collection on display).

This is a small point I know, and probably many of you have good reasons why you wouldn't regularly have dinner guests. The main reason I think is having ideas reinforced by being physically present in your environment, and in modelling good behaviour to your kids (and in having objects that children can explore independently).

I would recommend to everyone that when you have kids at least have a lot of kids books in your house. (Lots means more than 100 not more than 10). Thrift stores are great.

>I want to start a business.

Hey, I'm in the startup scene so I can at least advise you on that kind of business.

The first thing you should do is educate yourself on how the whole VC funding system works, and how to pitch VCs. Then I would suggest getting in with your local startup scene (go to meetups - by now you know what you are talking about - make intelligent conversation, don't embarass yourself, hide your power level). From these meetups you should start to figure out who the leaders are in your local scene. Who are the gurus, who is hot right now, who is a charlaton, etc. Your next step would then be to express your intention to join as a co-founder. If you have your own money you could be co-founder and pre-seed angel investor, but I would never put my own money into anything when there is a whole world of VCs literally desperate to give out their fund to anyone with a half decent plan.

In the conversations you will have at meetups founders and VCs will often ask about your background. You should have a story that makes you sound attractive for the industry you are targetting ("I worked in aerospace for 8 years" "Oh wow we are looking for a co-founder for our drone startup). If you understand the VC world, are in the local scene, and have genuine skills or experience to offer then you should be able to find a good partner. Most people are too scared to even work at a startup let alone be a founder and accountable to a board of hard ass VCs, so if you are willing to do it you will be in demand.

Just try not to get sucked into the losers that hang out in the startup scene looking to glom onto somone elses success. If you end up having a beer with the bottom rung people you fucked up - you need to be talking to founders, c-suite, and VCs.

> I want to put money in

If all you want to do is be an angel, then the advice is kind of the same, but learn about termsheets and the whole venture funded world so you don't lose your money. Then hand over your cash and wait. Angels rarely get board seats or anything so you will basically just be having a coffee/beer every few months and cheking in. If you are an early angel I recommend getting out asap, like seed or A round. Rinse and repeat and start your own VC if you like that kind of life.

I don't know anything about starting a real mans business like a carpentry shop or mechanics workshop, but maybe other anons can give advice on starting a less jewish business than a venture capital funded kiketech.

>>134596

I agree with your views. Shit shouldn't just be patterns in the digital, stored off-site. Physical books are something you have occupy space in the same shared space that occupies you and that's quite meaningful. Also, if devices go to shit, one still has books. Physical reality is prime.

>>134622

>>134626

Idea guys procrastinate so you'll need a dozen eggs in incubation if you catch my meaning. Idea guys that come up with good ideas consistently aren't common at all.

How about a storage business with shipping containers and 55 gal drums underground that someone can pay to store shit in. Have a "pour concrete over it" option. Buy a $1000 acre of land out in nowhere. Send a picture of the lot with you and the recent newspaper every week. Maybe make the concrete thing standard. Build a brick wall around the area with a 6x6 trench full of oil so people can't get the fuck out and a regular fence around that so no law suit - they jump it, they suffer up to a week of being stuck there. Camera surveillance and small hut on-site, access off-site with antenna and telescope. If people want their shit it has to be broken into. Charge something upfront then moderate charge monthly, $30 dunno. Power is cheap you can just stick a few metal rods into dirt containers or the ground and hook it up to a capacitor hooked to a battery; add a small windmill and ez done. Add a boxing/ fighting ring setup if you want to dissuade would-be robbers with a cover story; or become licensed and host fights with one of those "not responsible for your death" and "no monetary gain" deals but they got sponsors and there's betting going on; you just direct betters to do their shit off your land a 100ft away from the side of the ring. You want to make money off this? Food, drink, good seats.

I'd site it on clay rich land if you want to make building the brick wall cheaper. Use clay from trench, fire bricks, build wall.

Mustard gas in glass containers right under the concrete. Someone tries to steal, they're blind/paralyzed or whatever. Have to wear full hazmat to get the stuff out. Lay clay brick over the concrete, flush with ground - no one knows about the storage business. In the fighting pit/ring, plywood with dirt over it or something.

In fact you could get your clientele for the storage business before you do a damn thing. For each client you set up a legitimate business with a secret storage business. Offer different levels of storage. One is built into the foundation type shit. Other is "secret compartment" or "in the walls" type shit, Other is "oh I have a room behind my office" type shit. Sometimes it's just a piece of acreage and doesn't have anything on it; people can park cars or bury stuff in the grass/woods or whatever. Other times it's a legitimate fighting ring making money of concessions - hell maybe the seats are free, draw in a fucking crowd every night.

>>134626

I'm maybe your guy. I never post in normal times here, but I can't see other thing in your message than a strong synchronicity: last weeks I have been more or less blocked in a persistent thinking-loop in which I see a product which is a correction of an object almost everyone have, to the point of thinking of beginning searching for potential investors in my family circles and how to register a patent, both nationally and internationally—so many unusual things, at this frequency and intensity. You probably are my "Investor able of evaluating the substance and strong value of an idea". Nice to meet you. What is the next step?

>>134710

Never register a patent. It makes it easy for big companies to steal the idea and tweak it. The only reason I can see yo register a patent is if you're looking to immigrate

Hey Sig,

I need to quit video games. They have been a big part of my life for over 20 years. I have a great career, I workout, starting to find new interests, progressing in life overall and want to move on from this hobby that has brought on so many memories. Video games are not giving me that same feeling of "amazement and excitement" that they used to. I'm starting to find entertainment from the outdoors and travelling.

I have started to move away from anime as well and am currently trying to figure out how to sell my anime figures that I have bought throughout the years.

How should I go about this and grow out of my "childhood"?

>>134303

Congratulations! Tell us your story, anon. I'm curious

>>136198

Accepting more responsibilities are a great way to spend time anon. Of all things this is something that I've noticed will get you out of that desire to play video games. Video game addiction is an epidemic that me, you, and millions of people have or HAD. Fundamentally white kids get stuck into video games and anime because fantasy worlds with scantily clad elves and badasses like in a game like Oblivion or Bleach is a LOT better than the subhuman infested hellscape that is modern America. Of course our generation will want to run away to DnD or minecraft, its better! However, things will get bad and we all know it. The white race is dying and internet movements will be gone once the powers that be finally shut 8chan down. Then there will be no forums to vent in. You'll be alone in a sea of political correctness.

Go and make new friends, go to church/ whatever your religious denomination is. The best women imho are usually found there, at least better since it inherently filters out women who are dopamine addicts (aka e-thots and roasties). If you don't have kids already (your life sounds fairly stable) do your best to accommodate for a new white life in the world. Do not rely on the internet forever, and link up with organizations like the NorWesFront that can actually build a community for whites.

I don't know, are you distinguishing friends and acquaintences? The prior is something that, I claim, is as rare as can be and likely cannot be found, especially in the modern era where people are submerged in the sea of consumerism and instant gratification. I.e., long-lasting things become irrelevant (as seen with divorce rates).

If the latter, that should be easier to obtain.

Hey, at least you have a step up from me, applaud yourself.

As for the Christmas and New Years by yourself, that shouldn't ache your heart. It's just another day and, in the end, we all wind up spending it by ourselves after some number of years. Parents come and go, children move away, in the end one is left alone, in one's house without another.

In any case, what is the particular means in which your "social anxiety" ruins your capability of making acquantiences? After all, for making these you just have to keep up appearences, no actual investment necessary. I.e., being cordial, generally kind, etc.

I say this as an ugly 5 7 skeleton, you should be in a pretty good position to at least make acquantiences.

>>98252

Are there places that have high income and lifestyle? I'm thinking places thats tradesmen can get jobs servicing the wealthy. Those who will pay decent coin for anglo tradesmen.

>I don't know, are you distinguishing friends and acquaintences?

I have neither really. By "friends" I was referring to people you do things with outside of work. Someone to hang out with.

<bar

<implying good

It's not as if I'm looking to adopt some kind of degenerate lifestyle. I want to experience these things for at least a short time after having missed out on them all this time. I just want a taste of what a normal life is like.

>In any case, what is the particular means in which your "social anxiety" ruins your capability of making acquantiences?

My voice becomes feeble, I talk too quickly and sometimes I stutter. I draw complete blanks and end up being overly serious. There's always this "barrier" I feel inhibited by. I know I wouldn't have any issues making friends or finding a woman if I was able to just be myself instead of freezing up all the time.

>>136400

>outside of work

Whew, good luck on that one then. Last time I had that was in university. It is pretty hard when you're no longer in a "all kids" environment. The best you can hope is to hang out with your co-workers enough, have lunch together, etc., eventually going out to eat and the like.

>taste what a normal life is like

Then all the power to you. I just find normal life to be rather trivial, rather dull, and, ultimately, a chore.

>feeble, stuttler, overly serious

Well, you've probably heard it all before but: too feeble, quickly and stutter can be corrected by just slowing down. Imagine you're giving a speech. I honestly act out life like I'm in a play (inb4 sociopath). As for the overly serious, that's not a bad thing, it only has to be a bit restrained at the start. Let it flow sufficiently that your unique personality is apparent, but not frightening. Eventually, once you're considered as "one of their own" more and more seriousness can exist since, as part of the group, your views are theres.

I don't know how good you are at self-deception/mental tricks, but have you ever thought about the worst that could happen? Nothing really. People make fun of you? I don't know if people really do that as adults–apathy is more prevalent. Oh, someone acted like a retard, whatever.

In short, just slow down any interaction and, if you wind up looking like a retard, who cares? They're all passing actors on the stage called life.

>>136400

As this anon said: >>136403 once you're part of the group, your views are their's so they have to accept/tolerate you more or some shit.

Why don't you try voice chat in video games or some shit. Make a clan or group or whatever you call it in the game you play called "Typhus and Famine", "Wood doors", "Dresden", "14/88", "The Juice Did it", or whatever you want.

You are going too fast, anon. It's common amongst intelligent people who have a lot to say, or the processor that is your brain spins faster than you mouth can speak, causing that speeding up and stuttering. You can see that commonly among people who are not experienced public speakers and have to stand up in front of a room and speak, or something similar. Before you go into turbo mode, just stop, breathe, organize your thoughts, and instead of a longass, run-on sentence, try just a shorter, more truncated manner of response. I used to have similar problems with speaking too quickly and just had to learn to slow it down.

>>136612

Don't know how corrupt (or not) they are, but the good thing about the KoC is they have a lot of financial resources and can hook you up with lots of help on loans/insurance related shit that can help you a lot in life's various projects, homesteading, starting a business, buying a house, etc.

By 2020 (now) the median white age is projected to have become so old that it cannot replace itself. The last white will die in 150 years somewhere in Northern Canada or a tiny island in the Atlantic. What we stand for is racial survival. All other options are completely counterproductive and are a waste of time.

Bitchute, Vimeo, every site you know will eventually be removed as the oligarchs tighten their control over the internet. Compare the old internet 20 years ago to today, it has completely become steamlined and dominated by a few companies. This will only continue.

If you are a mentally and physically fit white male of W. European heritage under 50 there is not reason why you shouldn't be using your best years to build a life in the last purely young white area in the planet.

Final post. We are witnessing a societal collapse, go ahead and join your social club but be aware that blacks and Hispanics perceive older whites as frail prey to steal from. Once you are an old git, you won't have the energy to fight them off alone. Either that or you'll spend the rest of your days in some old people's home being taken care of by a Filipino or African nurse. Do the right thing.

Just a little feedback for the board:

Threads like this one in particular are what will breathe new life into your movement. As a passerby with a rudimentary understanding of politics/society, the substance inside this thread will be the reason I come back time and time again from here on.

Don't try and build mass that's dumb as fuck. Build strength. Mass without strength is just dead weight. It reminds me of the 'tards that want a full suit of 50 cal armor pen proof armor (which would weight about 300 lbs). The joke being that your muscle mass would be useless and the 'tards that want the suit of armor make more sense than you and anyone else that wants BEEG MUSKEL.

Generally strength training will develop muscle and being "ripped" doesn't mean strong either, but the look you're looking for is DENSITY.

Be rude, be indignant, be mean (according to her feelings). Just google some door locks, changing them are pretty easy. Literally push her out the door if you have to, don't shove. If her or both parents start to get uppity about it, tell them there's a new rule from now on and there's nothing they can say or do to change your mind. If they make threats or demand you back it up one way or another, tell them to "Do it!" or "I'm never backing down on this" or "break the rule, get the bottle." - if they say you have no right to touch them/her, tell them "don't break the rule. If there's something important, knock." If they say "it's my house!" tell them they can do whatever with the room when they kick you out or you move, but not before then. That's the rule.

If you think you can 'reason' with people in even situations like this (meaning get them to do what you want gently and yielding to everything they say), when they refuse to listen, you will be miserable your entire life from living in fantasy and delusion. More than half the time people listen to power, conflict, confrontation, authority in one way or another. It's like an animal's shit test if you're familiar with that concept. They aren't moral paragons or know what's fair or just, they're a couple of meat suits with meat brains.

If they want to blow up over it then push right back. If they threaten to throw you out, then tell them to fucking do it or "That's fine. You can do whatever with the room once I'm gone but not before."

This is a lesson you have to learn or you'll always act like a sheltered boy scared of people. If you won't stand up to those closest to you you're a weak coward hence the fear and anxiety you have. This is a classic boundary conflict, which has been going on ever since animals have lived. Just fucking fight for your space.

You're not going to accept the power trip.

>Military Press

>Barbell Rows

>Squats

>Deadlifts

>Pull ups (if you can, if not build up to them by hanging off the bar)

Those are the all the most important exercises for gaining strength. Do those exercises and just emphasize progression in more weight/reps and the physicality will come with consistency.

>>137022

Depends on body type and what you're trying to do though. I used to be a skinnyfag and engaged in "bulking" while also lifting just to fill out my body. Likewise if it's hard for you to make gains you pretty much have to "over eat" with consistent caloric surplus. I actually hit 210 lbs and had a little bit of a gut, then dropped back down to 200 lbs where I have visible abs and can coast comfortably with a good mix of both strength and aesthetics to create that idealized image that people respond positively to. But ya, it sounds like this guy is already a big dude, and should just focus more on gaining strength, he already has the mass. Remember that strength rarely impairs beauty, but often bestows it.

>>137384

>Depends on what you're trying to do

I am telling you that what you should be trying to do is to gain strength and density. Mass is fucking dumb. Aesthetics is dumb. If you gain muscle from your training then that's that, but that's not at all the priority even if you're 130 lbs and 6 ft tall. You have to eat but even aiming for higher than 170 lbs at 6 feet is retarded aesthetics chasing superficial bullshit. All focus should be on strength gaining and density (quality). None of the focus should be on muscle size gains.

Fuck of aesth-fags.

>>137401

**off

>>137401

>Sculpting your body is for faggots

>Being strong is for men

I agree with this

>>137401

Gonna have to disagree. 6' 170 lbs is very skinny, and more of a running and cardio weight. I'm 6'1 and when my current, 200 lbs self could easily beat up my 170 lbs self from several years back. Plus I look better, too. I mean do you really think that extra 30 lbs of muscle isn't additional strength? You're not going to impress anyone with a lanklet physique, nor will you be able to fend off a nigger attack. It sounds more like you're a skinny guy who's butt hurt and jealous. Increasing in strength, mass, and improved aesthetics all go together and are a natural part of making gains. Everyone needs to get as jacked as possible to prepare for what's coming.

>>137384

Also read the authors I mentioned. I made the OP and I mention only those authors that apply to everyone and an array of goals: Steven Low to prioritize strength per lb and inform on body weight exercises anyone can do or attempt, Mark Rippetoe for comprehension of standard weight lifting and programming as well as weight lifting form, Steve Justa to take the limits off weight lifting and reveal the bigger world of strength training, Pavel Tsatsouline when you want the simplest, easiest most minimalist most effective program.

In the recent post I mention: Steve Justa who is #1, Bud Jeffries because he is like Steve Justa in many ways, Alexander Zass the old time strongman for some old training FACTS which I know are facts because this fucker broke out of PoW camps multiple times by bending bars of iron, Steven Low for similar reason as before and that I didn't want people to think that strength per lb didn't matter, and Harry Wong for the "dynamic strength" book that completes the strength, isometrics picture with "body resistance" training, tensing to create resistance in your movements. Isometrics and awkward lifts are king. If you want extra credit read Kubrik's Dinosaur Books.

>>137411

Whether your 200 lb self could beat up your 170 self is irrelevant. You weren't strong at 170 lbs. You lack knowledge. The world record lifts for low weight classes is not so far behind the world record lifts of those of higher weight classes.

https://infogalactic.com/info/List_of_Olympic_records_in_weightlifting

Here are the olympic weightlifting records. If you'll notice, the 124 lb weight class (the lowest) has a total of 670 lbs from two lifts. The 230lb + weight class (anyone over 230 lbs) has a total of 1040 lbs from two lifts. So you have a guy weighting less than half these 300lb fuckers lifting 2/3 of the weight. The strength per pound is insane. 124 lb lifting 2/3 what a, say, 280 lb guy is lifting. The only reason you would want more muscle is aesthetics. Superficial cunt.

Now powerlifting: https://www.powerliftingwatch.com/records/raw/world

123 lb weight class; NO WRAPS except deadlifters use belt and knee compresses I believe.

Squat: 639 lbs.

Bench: 391 lbs.

Deadlift: 634 lbs.

308 lbs weight class; NO WRAPS except et cetera

Squat: 922 lbs.

Bench: 666 lbs.

Deadlift: 939 lbs.

The trend generally continues. More than double the weight, only 50% increase in strength. Looking at a lanklet 6' 120 lb guy, I can safely say that he can double his strength without adding a pound. A 95lb bench in such a person can easily become 190lbs. A 120 lb 6' guy should slowly accumulate up to 170 lbs and no more over 5 years, but I don't have a problem with someone challenging themself and adding 10 lbs of muscle in a month then staying at that weight for a few months to make sure they are getting the most strength and density possible.

Barbell lifts are of course a narrow field of strength training. It might not be an "of course" for you, but you need to read books by the authors mentioned and then you'll understand. Just read Rock, Iron, Steel by Steve Justa and we can continue this conversation if you don't know what I am talking about - skim through it or peruse.

>170 lbs is cardio weight

<everyone needs to. . . . prepare for what's coming

Yet cardio is not relevant? Walking, jogging long distances isn't relevant? Do you think the extra 30 lbs will do nothing to your endurance? You want muscle like you want mommies womb to hug and coddle you.

>30 lbs of muscle additional strength

Quality over quantity.

>Impressing people with lanklet physique

Maybe you should worry less about impressing people just by existing like a woman that wants to be adored and treasured just by showing up and looking pretty, faggot.

>You're skinny.

Nope. I just have my priorities straight and scorn vanity in all its forms.

>mass, strength, aesthetics all go together

Per lb, strength and DENSITY and SPEED and POWER go together. Aesthetics are rather subjective and gay.

>gains

brospeak buzzwords.

>Fending off nigger attacks

Fending off groups of violent fuckers. . . . I have a lot to say for martial arts but I know you have nothing but this casual fucking layman opinion of yours. Being pound for pound strong, light on your feet, fast and powerful with high absolute strength with high high endurance is what you want. You want to be durable? Isometrics, steel bending, old strong man stuff and unique lifts.

In general, heavy carries, 6 second overcoming isometrics, and marathon isometrics will turn you into a steel rod with every part well connected and develop extremely strong bones and tendons.

>>137411

the tl;dr:

Can you beat the 123 lb weight class world record power lifts? Or are 120 lb men stronger than you, whom is 200 lbs?

>>137468

In principle I'm disgusted that a person's respect would be based on superficial qualities whilst overlooking the substantial. Such people should be spat out as the lukewarm water, the chaffe they are. Their influence is negligible, they are fair weather adherents to any cause. They are not quality, once again you prioritize shitty quantity over quality, this time even less quality because the masses you will appeal to will not be worth their weight.

If you want to appeal to such people then go ahead and be a fag but I'm not going to and I'm not going to suggest to anyone that they should. This strategy a couple handfuls of anons are espousing is misguided. The point is to have a strong individual, then strong inner circle and few handfuls of associates or randoms to influence in real life and as many as possible online, then to have a strong outer circle and many associates and randoms to influence in real life along with as many as possible online. 3 steps. Where is your inner circle? Where is your group?

Are you influencing people? How are you influencing people? Influencing people involves networking or talking to people in your community/family/circle of friends or associates, public speaking which might mean a couple people in a store or the street when a situation arises - or at a political gathering; it involves forming a group, and it involves economic, legal, professional actions, processes. It's a process. Have you done any of this? Do you really think you wouldn't be able to do any of this at 170 lbs, strong and agile? You are clearly putting the image before the substance. What's necessary for influencing people is what is substantial, and you lack it if you're going to argue with these trite regurgitated talking points you got from fucking /pol/ anons whilst acting like we're a fucking hivemind and what you say is self-evident, Officially Approved and Vetted by the Whitest Guys You Know.

Enough with the fucking rationalized vanity. You want to walk around and by your mere presence change the world. The childishness of it is astounding; in one hand you support such nonsense implicitly, feeding the sheepish mediocrity, consumerist dopamine addiction and mindlessness of people. In the other hand, you reject higher standards of strength in one breath and talk of physical combat in another. You are as the jews say, a fucking schmuck. Truly a goyim of goyim. Cattle. Beef for burgers.

1% fought in the revolutionary war. 1 person can easily be worth a hundred to any cause (and worth more than an infinite number of people that do literally fucking nothing for a cause). 1 person can certainly be worth thousands, though not as easily. Most people are unwilling to 'champion' anything. They are unwilling to influence, unwilling to speak the truth, are lazy and mediocre in everything. You are on /pol/ and in /sig/ because you want to go in the opposite direction of all that. Yet you are not motivated or are scared and need the gratification of "me beeg me MUSKL get GAINS" and the superficial security it entails to pull you in that direction.

I'm not stuck at 170 lbs. You weren't stuck at 170 lbs either. You chose to bulk up and you did, but your choice wasn't the best one. The best choice would have been to push image and fear out of your head and focus on quality, to focus on strength. Maybe you wouldn't have the motivation then, the meddle, the diligence? Be honest. I used 170 lbs as the example because you said you were 170 lbs.

As for picking up a small person and dropping them - any strong person can do the same to you, 120 lbs or not, and a 200 lb man hitting the ground is going to hurt a lot more than a 120 lb man. 120 lb man get real used to tumbling around, knocking into things. Wonder how you'd fair, tumbling around and getting knocked around? Yeah, I think a 200 lb man would have a lot of weight that gets in the way when getting punched or kicked too - a 120 lb man might fly a short ways getting punched by an exceptionally strong individual, but a 200 lb man wouldn't fly away. The full force of the blow would unload into him. There's no option to tumble when you're 200 lbs, you just have to take it.

I wonder what kind of damage that can do? I'm not suggesting everyone drop to 120 lbs but you never thought this through as well as I, so don't fucking act like you did.

>>137468

The longer you insist on being "just a regular guy" the longer you'll never do anything to make the world a better place. At best you'll make a bit of a splash in your local pond. There's no fucking butterfly effect here. You'll make a few waves in your little town and that's it.

As soon as you decide not to be a regular guy you will double your influence, at least in the sum total of your fucking life.

You are entirely motivated by 'regular guy' shit. You want to look good and get attention. Your influence is negligible. As I said, there is no butterfly effect here - you will not be influencing anyone and I know it, because people who influence don't fucking think the way you do; and I'm not referring to just your desire for mass, I'm talking about the whole of it. Your mind is too dull and your motivations too hedonistic.

I think we're 2 years from a big turning point in the country, and again in 10 years if the 2 year plan gets shut down. I'm talking South Africa level shit. I'm talking the rape and genocide of whites and the free fall of the US. Before this we had the grinding away at good and decency, but they know there's so little resistance at this point that we're 2 years from a possible free-fall. If not in 2 years, if people wake up from their slumber or have enough back bone to push back these next 2 years, it'll be in 10 years 2030 that the crisis point is reached once more and we have to push back at all fronts or experience free-fall into South Africa but spanning an entire continent.

We're looking at a Brazil/ South Africa/ Bolshevik Russia chimera here. The blood of these degenerates, mutts, spics (especially those with strong mayan/aztec blood) and groids will sing out in their cacophony of violence when they sense the shift, the weakness. The terrorist cells are watching too, did you forget about them? And the Chinese?

Being a regular guy won't fucking cut it. Read the fucking authors you lazy cunt. If you're not striving for and feeding the best you are just feeding your own mediocrity.

>>137487

Dude I'm sorry but this is a bad cope and you're going on a borderline incomprehensible emotional rant. There's a reason fighting sports like MMA have weight classes, and it's because the heavier guys beat the lighter guys at ratios so bad it's unfair. There's no world where a 200 lb muscular man will lose to a 120 lb without guns being involved.

>>137916

Bullshits. Weight classes in martial arts exist only for reaches and weight unbalance during fight.

Strength is not given by mass. You must develop synapses on your muscular fibers, good mytocondrial supplies and gain stiffness of ligaments and tendins. A well balanced guy, with the right weight for his skeleton that train for agility and speed is a death machine.

A Bruce Lee like guy could easily knockout a 7 feet bouncer with the right training.

>>137493

>>137487

Anon, come on, this is like ranting, schizo posting. You are clearly sensitive about the subject because you are skinny, and trying to convince yourself you can still be as strong/combat effective as those big dudes. It's just not true. It's one thing to train for a competition where you have to maintain a certain weight for your class and max your lifting for that set body weight, but if you aren't doing some kind of competitive lifting like that there's no reason not to get as big/buff as possible, within safe bodily limits. I used to make phony, coping comments about bigger dudes and I hear a ton of other, jealous skinny and flabby guys deride buff dudes they see in media, and I used to be like that too a bit. But now that I am on the other side of that equation, I no longer feel that insecurity because I am noticeably big and buff after years of hard lifting and big eating. Feelsgoodman, I know it's hard, but I highly recommend you try to gain as much mass/muscle as possible, not good to be skinny and look like an easy target for untermensch or bad protector for women. It's way better to have people refer to you as "the big guy" instead of "the skinny guy." Just being physically imposing in general will save you a lot of bullshit in life.

>>137938

Bullshit. Mass is a big part of strength, and weight classes are not about reach. You can frequently find reach mismatches all over the place in combat sports where the fighters are similar in weight. That's not it at all. And you develop those synapses, fibers, ligaments, tendons etc. when you are doing big, compound weight exercises. What do you think you are doing when you are lifting? Bruce Lee would have just gotten body slammed by that 7ft bouncer and would have had no idea what to do because his martial arts were only about striking, not grappling. Also muscle does not make you "unbalanced," it's part of your body that you can literally control, IE the way buff dudes with big chests can move their chest muscles without moving any other part of their body.

>>137947

>Bullshit.

Muscle mass MUST be proportional to your body to let you move quickly and in agility. If you're too buffed you're like an obese.

I was indeed referring to grappling when I talked about weight unbalace during fight. But it's not strenght that makes the bigger guy wins on ground, it's weight. No skills, no ability, just the weight (hence the classes).

A well trained little guy can avoid the fight that involves weight. It's teached: "Never stay close to your opponent and always out of his grap", like trying to stay on the side-back and hit.It's all about technique.

You have to understand that our body is smart. It builds things where it needs them according what you're doing.

If you just lift at gym, you're not fit to fight.

If you do bodyweight, iso and strikings. You're fit to fight.

When I was training with one famous MMA fighter he told me that the best way to develop good arms is striking almost everyday a bag.

Your body is learning what your muscles need to do, and builds fibers, synapses, mytocondria and tendins for what you need to do.

He lastly said to me "If you wanna do Mister Olympia or lifting cars on the road, go to the gym. If you wanna fight, train only with your body."

I'm not native English, maybe I didn't explain myself good, but I think we might agree.

>>137916

I am the guy you responded to.

You are naive and ignorant. Your understanding is a result of complacent musings. UFC and such used to be "all weight, no class" but they also had ball busting and whatever else. But then they want to be 'fair' and 'civilized'. It's out of a sense of fairness and the concept of 'civilized combat' that they erase weight classes. They want it to become a sport in order for their business to grow. That's it pretty much, the main motivation. Most people, yes, just try using their weight to win a fight. Most people are not good fighters.

There's a good explanation for this: Human beings are not savage tigers. We do not have the instinct of a killer besides some hunting instinct. That's it. I assure you that Mike Tyson can or could destroy Thor Bjornson or Eddie Hall or Brian Shaw. I assure you that many light weights have knock out punches. The knock out punch is more a result of tendon strength, anon.

Though yes weight in wrestling is rather important but there too we know that since it's a sport with sporting motivations, techniques for larger foes (like tendon strengthening and muscular strengthening in tiny ranges of motion in certain leverages that are useful always or just against larger opponents, and speedy BJJ or other close striking ground striking techniques) will not be investigated deeply and broadly as there's little motivation by enough people to catalyze that sort of thing.

So when you're thinking about weight class, remember that that is to account for the masses of people that just go into fighting cause "I'ma beat that guy up!". Even if they put some more thought into it, it just scratches the surface. Humans aren't great fighters. They are naturally terrible at hand to hand combat. There's a high skill ceiling as well.

>>137947

I argue like this on many topics fucker. "Clearly sensitive" don't play this bullshit. If you want to be apathetic and lazy about it then go ahead and get fucked in a real fight because you don't want to learn or discuss with someone as equals.

I agree that most skinny fucks are just jealous. I agree. But I am telling you that it's more complicated than that. I am someone once wanted to be 300 lbs of pure muscle at 5'10. I would still like to be 300 lbs of pure muscle but I want to move like I'm 120 lbs too, and for that I have to learn how to maximize quality per lb, maximize durability, strength, speed, power, endurance, RoM, et cetera and you can't do that if you're chasing gains.

The ridiculousness of your position is that you don't seek extreme strength yet chase mass. You say, "I don't want to be olympic level" even though the question was of a 120 lb person's record strength, not someone closer to your 200 lb mass; and so you double down on having mass that doesn't even meet the level of a 120 lb person. The numbers are very reasonable for your size yet you reject it.

Thus if anyone has a character problem you should include yourself.

Strength doesn't scale linearly with size thus there's plenty reason to focus on putting the most into the least. When you're approaching 'olympic' level with your strength at 120 lbs then adding mass slowly makes a lot of sense. Note that State level isn't too far from World Class. I'm not telling you to lose weight I'm just saying up the quality of what you got.

Squat: 639 lbs.

Bench: 391 lbs.

Deadlift: 634 lbs.

There's no Military Press or Bent Row records with weight classes I can find but this should be about right for a national level 120 lb person:

Military Press: 225 lbs.

Bent Row: 295 lbs.

These are a good goal but fighting is of course much more, as >>138055 said.

You don't know how to use speed or explosiveness to your advantage because fighting just seems like too much chaos and stimulus to keep track of/ keep up with. This is true. It's true of most anyone because most anyone is not an incredible fighter, adaptable and dynamic, effective and efficient. I'm not saying I am, just calling it for what it is.

>>138303

Redaction:

>state level isn't too far from national

Well I guess it depends on the state.

>>138303

I get what you mean with knock out punches. Sounds weird but they have more to do with mental strength, anyone who isn't severely malnourished could have "a" knock out punch if they know to punch the side of the chin, and if they're willing to go for it like crazy. Could easily get stopped but still.

Of course half of knowing how to fight is knowing that you need to guard your lower face, but random untrained niggers aren't going to know that. At best they might take some shitty, cargo-cult version of a boxing stance without knowing why.

Even fighters who should know that routinely just forget mid fight, or hesitate to go for the opponent and have a gay ass standoff. Gay ass stand offs like that aren't going to be common in a more real fight. Reminds of how that Israeli Krav Maga isn't actually anything groundbreaking like how its jews try to hype it up, it's just trained to the soldiers so they'll at least go for the enemy's nuts ASAP instead of standing there uselessly.

>>138055

Ok yes I think we had a misunderstanding. I agree of course in general, especially with grappling. I have a friend who is a big guy and back when we did grappling together he would often win just using his mass and weight to smother the other guy. I was mostly just talking about lifting in general, but yes you also need to do fight training to be fit to fight. The unpopular opinion I have is that most people do not have time to pursue fitness and martial arts, if you have to choose, it is usually better to spend more time lifting and less time training for fights, because just being visibly big and buff will deter or prevent most fights, and as long as you have some training, physical size can carry you through having less skill. Whereas a small guy and be an expert fighter for men his size but still be in trouble when some big brute attacks.

>>138303

>Strength doesn't scale linearly with size

> I would still like to be 300 lbs of pure muscle but I want to move like I'm 120 lbs too, and for that I have to learn how to maximize quality per lb, maximize durability, strength, speed, power, endurance, RoM, et cetera and you can't do that if you're chasing gains.

Ok, well very well, I agree with you that size doesn't scale with strength in a linear correspondence, and it's true that there are some big guys who are too big and don't have a good strength:weight ratio, but those are usually overweight guys and even then most of them are at least physically powerful unless they are just butterballs. But my point is that upping physical mass also raises your strength ceiling when done right. Admittedly I do less pull ups and have a slower 3 mile run time than I did 30 lbs ago, but it's worth it because I'm significantly stronger overall even if it caused some minor deficits in other areas. I'm definitely not apathetic and lazy, I work out frequently. And I definitely pursue "progression" with weights to get stronger, it's not all about looking pretty. Though yes, there are fags like that in the workout world, but even those guys are better than those who don't lift at all. And I can also tell you that strength and mass are still advantageous in a fight over agility, I still have greater fighting capacity at my current size than I used to. I'm also less likely to actually have to get into a fight. Also, increased mass is somewhat of a shield against blows too, a bigger guy will always be able to take body hit better than a skinny guy. My own journey going from a skinny guy to a semi-buff guy has taught me a lot of things, and the weight gain is small sacrifices for large gains in power, it's not like my mass gains were all beer and pizza. That being said I would still fight alongside you guys in a shield wall, just you argue so vehemently it almost comes off like you're against people getting big/buff in favor of a more competitive athletic model where you want to max strength while staying at the same weight. I just don't want to be in a situation where I'm getting attacked and say "hey faggots, I might be skinny but I'm strong for my size," I want to be big so I don't get attacked, or if I do I can quickly slam the other guy with max power and damage and get away, because that's how most IRL fights work, as you said, most people aren't UFC fighters who go multiple rounds, it's just generally better to be physically imposing so you don't get fucked with, and if you do it enables you to end the fight quickly and decisively because it's not like the other guy is likely some pro fighter either. I actually wish we could all hang out together and lift and grapple and talk about our different approaches. I just know when I was skinny I used to get shit off people, and almost getting attacked by a chimping feral nigger years ago is what drove me to start lifting, and now I never get fucked with like that.

>>138749

>>138373

>>138779

I look forward to a rebuttal.

If you have none, I suggest we settle this with an 8 week 'experiment' using the exercises I suggested. Do you have access to a punching bag? It'll be easier if you do otherwise the punching plank is a good proxy, since if you can't put your weight into a punch then you can't punch someone very hard can you? So if you can punch in a plank much harder than when you started, you can punch much harder anything or anyone.

I'll do the 8 week program as well if you agree.

>>138353

I agree that mental strength somehow determines punch strength. I think it's the execution of the punch that is important, not whatever you're potentially capable of but how much of that potential you can actuate - thus it's a matter of mental strength. Lot of technique involved and fast moving kinetic forces with somewhat complex behavior.

In essence it takes INTELLIGENCE to punch well. That's why a retard slugging it just doesn't cut it most of the time. It's also why a guy that has no clue can be given a quick rundown in 60 seconds and have his punch strength go up maybe 20% or more. If they're real shit at punching, can easily double the strength of it.

>>139455

Jump rope barefoot. 10 minutes of jumping rope is worth 30 minutes jogging I hear.

>>139256

Well frankly I gave my rebuttal, but the conversation is going farther off topic with specifics about fighting technique, which wasn't the main topic of discussion. I'm not against physical combat training, I was actually just looking into local boxing/jiu jitsu places right when the lockdown shit started because I wanted to up my skills for the first time in years. If you want my rebuttal it's that I've done martial arts/fight training in the past, so I have that foundation, but I'm more concerned with my physical conditioning. I'll gladly do more combat training if you up your carbs and protein and big, compound exercises revolving around the barbell. When you've gained 20-30 lbs of muscle over the course of the next few years you can tell me how much harder you can hit. I'm not disagreeing with what you say about technique, I just wish you were open to physical gains and bulk and the strength that comes with it, and in my experience that only guys who rail against it that hard are skinny dudes who feel like they can't buff up so they come up with a myriad of rationalizations why that's ok. I just don't wanna go round and round as we get further off the topic. Saying size and strength don't matter in a fight is a cope, even if it's not everything.

>>139678

I've already agreed that as a basic fighter you're going to benefit from the 30 lbs but if we're trying to be better than a basic fighter then it's a waste of time to add weight before your 'competence' let's say meets the mass at-level. And it sounds like you're saying I'm saying strength doesn't matter in a fight - I've said the opposite of this.

Instead of framing it as a rebuttal or argument it's a matter of philosophy or planning.

So if one is sticking to amateur, go ahead and go for the 200 lbs. I think if you're planning to reach journeyman level get up to 185 lbs and if you're going for expert or master stick to 170 lbs and carry a slim weight vest and slim ankle/ forearm weights around, 12 lbs is the max that can fit under a shirt I think and 2.5 lbs each forearm weight with some 5 lb ankle weights, that'll be 28 lbs total, but just a heavy weight vest will work. If the amateur goes for journeyman, then a person that went for the 200 lbs isn't going to add any more mass they're going to focus on "functionality" and probably lose weight slowly, down to 180 then slow gain back up to 190 - 215 as they develop athleticism, agility and technique. If said person then goes for expert, they're going to fluctuate in weight a lot as they experiment and try to learn new things (if they're hoping to reach master level perhaps) otherwise they'll choose either to stay the same, operate at a lower weight or higher weight depending on the 'style' they choose. If they're trying to master their shit they might do anything I don't know; I think they'd blow up in weight to 250 then drop down to 220 as they learn to move the greater mass with greater speed, develop subtle movements at a heavy weight, and cultivate some serious power.

That's for a 6' person.

Gaining weight is easy dude you don't even need a barbell. You just need to eat, GOMAD, down some coconut oil or whatever good oil, then move heavy weight or do big explosive movements and demanding bw exercises such as gymnastic progressions (don't say that shit doesn't build muscle; you just need to do a lot of volume and increase the intensity to the point where you can't do much in a single set). Volume with at least medium but generally high intensity is king for gains (if you eat).

As a challenge I wanted to add an inch to my chest in 2 weeks with the evil russian push up program and managed to fuck my shit up enough that I gained 2.25 inches after the inflammation went down (It was like 3.5 right at the end, went down to 2.25). I can gain mass just fine hence my scorn. 39 in to 41.25 in. I added a figure 8 with 5 lb db each arm, that I did for some reasonably high count for the first 5 days I think, and during push ups and the figure 8s I consciously focused on the muscles used and broke up motor patterns best I could so that I didn't have a 'routine' in my muscle activation - maybe that doesn't make sense, but basically I noticed a pattern of momentum, torque, and muscle use and tried to do it differently so that I would use muscles I wasn't using/leaning off of. I would do that each moment or couple seconds best I could. Just concentrating on muscles used leads to greater gains and this lead to monstrous gains. I'm only 160 lbs 5'10. Was 170 lbs a couple months ago.

Back to speaking of what's necessary for a knock out punch –→ Steve Justa, Rock, Iron, Steel; Chapter 5, page 40. Get your wrist curl up to 285 lbs for 10 reps and you can knock out anyone in 1 or 2 punches. If we're talking intimidation - giant forearms.

Bought a jumprope off ebay, had no idea it burned so many calories and worked out almost the whole body. Gonna use it as much as I can once it comes.

Is self-improvement even possible? I want to believe. Where are the hope pills? What are some good inspirational stories?

>>140556

What level are you now? Let me know your biggest obstacles and I'll give you some free shitposting advice

>>140321

It is a very good calves and overall workout, Ithink its the high impulserate that makes it so effective, but beware and properly fixture your package with adequate underwear or train in the cold. I twisted one of my balls because they ware jingeling arround too freely, don't worry i was able to twist it back but still hurt like a bitch for three days.

>>140556

Went from 310 pounds to a current 234, still fat but I'm getting there, started in febuary with the coof.

>>140571

I'll be sure to wear baggy shorts

>>140590

>Went from 310 pounds to a current 234

Well done, Anon. Keep putting the effort in and you're sure to see that number fall even lower.

>>98252

Do it then

I've been looking into things like resitance bands but they're catered to femoids and yogafags. Also I was reccomendd a ab band ( you know those things that you wrap around your gut and allegedly help you get fains, do they actually do shit? I don't want to buy shit that does nothing for me.

Also this should never be on page 5 what the fuck guys.

>>141085

bands are good if want to work on "speed work" (explosiveness) while barbell train, I heard this is good if want carryover with sports and general athleticism but don't quote me on this. All I know is this is very good if you want to get into clean & jerking, snatches and weightlifting without skipping on deadlifting or squating.

>>141095

>>141085

Deadlifting, power clean, and clean & jerk are not worth the risk. Do body weight workouts >>137832 and then find other small workouts to fine tune certain muscles (bent over dumbell reverse fly). Another thing, if you're going to work out make sure you eat well. DO NOT SKIP CARDIO. If you hate running, learn to swim, if you hate swimming, learn to bike, if you hate biking, incorporate cardio in your workouts, shorten your rest period in between sets.

>>141139

>Do body weight workouts >>137832

not enough leg work volume in the routine and not one exercise works the smaller hip muscles. Swimming takes alot of emphasize on the hips like most sports.

PLEASE DON'T NEGLECT THE LEGS

goblet squatting helped my posture and saved me from a life of low back pain. My orthopedic told me I should squat, I started with my body weight but than my rehab therapist gave me dumbbells, now I squat almost 3 times a week. most people weak hamstrings and glutes from sitting all day, the routine in the bodywieght example doesn't have the volume to keep legs healthy.

>>141085

I don't know why you want bands.

Just do body weight stuff there's not much reason for weight when you're wearing it. Walk a lot, do push ups, do crab walks, bear crawls, negative pull ups (jump up to the top of the bar then slow your descent with strength), and squats.

Not much necessary beyond walking to lose weight though.

>>141541

I'm just looking for the best way to get rid of the rest of the weight, 4 months in and I'm almost down to size 38. 4 tp go until I start to chase the gains.

>>107169

I'd kill just to get away from everything, somewhere to just sustain myself away from greed and vice. I'm no natsoc but I can't blame them for wanting to get out of this shithole

>>141171

You can build enough leg work volume from running, using a kickboard in the pool, flutter kicks, flutter kicks with fins, and treading water with no hands. Body weight workouts for hip flexors will build muscle if you do high reps. The hip muscles are tiny muscles so it won't take very long to build them up.

>>141836

Start running. You'll lose a shitload of fat.

>>141844

Shut the fuck up and do it then

>>141849

I can't run because of my ankles, how is squatting with weight bad for you? My doctor says to continue what I am doing

>>141858

Eh he's one of those squeemish body weight puritans. Pure cope trust me, once you start working out gaining strength there's no reason to fear weights, you wont' be a fragile princess.

If you want to do your joints some good, get a krill oil supplement and glucosamine and chondroitin supplement.

Walking is all you need but you should start getting some gains before then. Gains help you lose weight, gains are good for you, strength is strength. Also jump rope is better than jogging, will definitely build your ankles. If you need to train them up totally, walk, jump rope and put some weight on your feet and lift it (bend at the ankle) to develop the shins.

If you want hand, wrist, finger, forearm and some upper arm strength: Get a 5 gallon bucket or any tub and fill it with dirt, sand, gravel, whatever is in your yard. If you don't have a yard just get some dirt, sand and gravel from a store and mix it up in a tub till it's maybe half full. Dig your hand to near the bottom and swirl around clockwise for a while, counter clock wise, scoop it up over hand, under hand, left right, squeeze/ crush the mix, focus resistance on your fingers, stick your hand straight into it to the bottom then expand your fingers, push with the back of your hand and fingers, the sides, all of it. Try to use a high resistance and get some serious finger, hand, wrist and forearm gains. Also pretty good for upper arms as well. Very simple stuff. It's like swimming or water resistance but the soil is of course more resistance, and doesn't depend on your speed so much, depends on depth. Very good for hulking your shit out.

You can do this every day for hours each day.

>>141858

Lose weight then start running. Once you start gaining muscle strength from body weight squats and your workouts are starting to get boring, then look to add weight to doing back squat/front squat with weight. Just remember that the risk isn't worth the reward.

310 to 234 is fucking awesome so keep going brother.

Here's some diet stuff.

Homeboy is 234 so recommending squatting with weight is the last thing for a beginner to learn.

>>141957

His weight isn't what's important, it's his fitness level. If he doesn't have strong knees and legs, and can't do 50 bw deep squats and walk long distances, there's 0 reason to use weight when he's carrying it. He can get strong and athletic with his current bw. If he's 310 lbs of pure strength, muscle and athleticism then he's good to go for using weights but I'm not a big proponent of lots of standard linear exercise either way - he can wear a weight vest and duck walk for distance or time, but that's not within his fitness level.

>>142067

Uh lift your feet and time it right. Figure it out. You can jump right?

>>142067

Lift your feet up more, jump higher.

First you have to get started.

Tell yourself to read just a single page per day, or even other day. It's just a single page, it takes only a couple of minutes. Easy. A child could do it, and so can you.

Now that you're reading the first page, why not make it two? Why not make it until the end of the chapter? You're already reading anyway. Most likely, once you got started on the first page, it will be easy to continue for a couple more. If you find yourself reading the same sentence(s) multiple times because you're tired or the book is hard to grasp, just stop, and pick it up later. Take some rest or find an easier book.

Just a general heads up: You don't need STUFF to exercise. I have been carrying desert boulders around for no good reason and it's great. Back and forth, up and down. Just carrying around boulders. Like Sisyphus, stuck on kike mountain.

Thank you for your contribution.

Good work. Also good is to dig up some dirt and move it around in a circle motion, crushing, et cetera >>141935 . My hands lose strength and I can't keep them straight trying to penetrate deep into generally soft but compacting dirt to get more resistance, but this is alright. Interesting - the hand straightening and rigidity muscles. Naturally strengthens the back of the hands, wrists, forearms. Very all-around strengthening. My hands were swollen and girthy with blood pump after, I build muscle pretty easily though. Focus on maximizing agony and muscle builds from nowhere. Good stuff.

Maybe try it out. You could just start with strengthening your fingers and nails trying to dig into the desert dirt if that appeals to you..?

>>143172

I've been doing this thing where I find 10-20lb weirdly shaped desert rocks and walk around with them in an iron cross kind of arrangement until I cannot. About two weeks away from onnaplains to my high desert refuge for some sandbagging which be primarily a shovel affair.

Something thats helped me is understanding that the best motivation is action

nothing will make you want to do something more than just doing it, and putting that into effect has been difficult but rewarding

>>143352

A month probably.

? Wait, how? I tried those faggot salads and keto, they don't do jack shit. Once I cut zog feed, sodas and started cardio and lifitimg the pounds started to shave off.
