I've considered joining the FFL since finishing my military service in Finland 3 years ago. I have decided to travel to France in beginning of September - roughly in 70 days. There I can save up some money.
I'm 22 years old, 6'0, 170lbs. (183cm 77.5kg). I can jog/run for 9-10 minutes before I'm out of breath and have to walk.
The hard part to joining, in addition to the IQ & personality tests, is the running test:
'a rhythmic running between two points that are 20 meters apart from side to side; running speed is determined by audio beeps at set intervals with increasing frequency – you have to complete at least 7 levels)'

'pacer test, is a series of stages that have different tasks sometimes used by sports coaches and trainers to estimate an athlete's VO2 max (maximum oxygen uptake)'
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-stage_fitness_test
I plan training by running a 8km track 4 times a week and to abstain from pot & cigarettes. I'll be lifting 3 days a week.

Why?
They're the most expendable troop the French Armed Forces have, your crew will consist of low-lives from Eastern Europe and MENA - and the pay is shit.

We did that test in high school friend, level 7 isnt hard at all. Most of the girls in the class went to 10 and many to 11 and 12. Granted, they were student athletes, but still basic 16 year old girls. Just train long distance running with medium tempo as long as you can go.
Personality tests Id say your best preparation is to make sure your head is calm and collected and in a good place.
It's easy. As long you have the will. In the swedish military we have the same test to level 8.8 to get employed in the army.

Why are you so threatened? Who gives a fuck about some people who found something that works for them. You do your thing and let them do their thing. If a thread offends you or obviously provokes negative feelings, hide it and don't bump it with some reply.

Has the increase in testosterone make anyone else want to fuck / barely resist any woman that moves?
>>41915553
yes there was a 60+ year old looking woman doing some meme leg raises on a bench in front of me basically motioning for me to get between her legs and fuck her.
I was resting between sets benching and had to squeeze my glutes to keep the boner down. The thing is she wasnt a good looking lady, she was old and looked it. Her only redeeming quality was being skinny. I was close to just asking to take her into a car and plow her
>>41915553
There's nothing wrong with slamming the ham when it's available
>>41915553
Dude I know the feel, it's so bad.
I have gotten hotter while simultaneously "broadening" (lowering) my standards. I can't plow THICC girls because I don't want my friends to make fun of me

P's second verse is top tier on this one
Guys, i have a huge fucking problem, i think i have Gynecomastia. I lost all my confidence to talk with other people 'cause they always look to the weird size of my nipples, when i smoke marihuana, the size of my nips get the double than the original. i talked to a doctor, and he said that the only way to remove it is with an operation, please, tell me there is another way to get throught this, i'm desperate.

>when i smoke marihuana, the size of my nips get the double than the original.
Not sure if b8 but loled
>>41915320
Why not have the operation?

how much do you weigh? are you sure it isnt just fat?
My grip starts to fail on the last set of 5x5 265lbs
I know babby weight. I do double overhand because I don't want to do mixed grip, I find it causes me to compensate with one side over the other and I want to promote grip strength as much as possible.
I only have a 90lbs gripper which is far too easy I can do multiple sets of 10 repitions at that tension. Should I just get a 130lbs gripper or will that be too much of a leap?
>>41915182
hook grip and do more farmers walks. also try chalk
>>41915182
hang on a bar with a fat gripz
deal with your ego and continue double overhand for pure grip strength gains, prolly a good way to avoid eventual injuries further down the line instead of trying to ego PR weight too heavy for you with mixed grips like some of the skinny skeletons I see in the gym.
for PRs, learn to hook grip
Would taking creatine be a bad idea if I want to keep my hair?
damn she is bad idgaf what u pasty white boys say idc idc stick to your 2D cardboard women
It depends, Anon. Everything is dependent on genetics.
Creatine increases DHT, yes, but whether that accelerates (key word) depends on your sensitivity to DHT.
How's hair in your family? Parents? Grandparents?
>>41914655
Yes.
http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/medical_examiner/2015/03/diets_do_not_work_the_thin_evidence_that_losing_weight_makes_you_healthier.html
The science is settled. Diets actually lead to weight gain, and you all were wrong about fat being unhealthy. Studies show that you can be fat and fit at the same time. Losing weight doesn't even improve health, it actually makes it worse.
Doesn't say shit about not exercising though.

What are some hobbies you guys are into. Want to start going to places on weekends to hike.
>>41913578
Growing watermelons and chili
>>41913653
I don't have patience for growing things but cooking sounds something interesting to take up.
>>41913801
Cooking isn't a hobby though it's a basic human function, unless you eating everything raw.
I don't get how people can say attractiveness is subjective but then act like a "good" personality is objective?
There are plenty of girls into shy guys.
There are plenty of girls into introverted guys.
There are plenty of girls into submissive guys.
There are plenty of girls into sadistic guys.
etc etc there is no such a thing as a good personality. I know plenty of men that are incredibly mean, selfish and narcissistic and they get adored by women.
Meanwhile if we look at attractiveness everyone is genetically programmed to be attracted to
- Symmetry (not perfect but ideal)
- Angularity (strong vs receding chin)
- Health (hair and skin)
I could show a picture of Lachowski to 1 million girls and a picture of the average /fit/izen and 99.99% would prefer Lachowski.
How is that not objective?
All good looking people generally have the same objective traits only things subjective is haircolor, skincolor, eyecolor etc.
If we go even further we know that good looking people are linked to having good personalities not the other way around. This is pure halo effect in the works.
Also confidence stems from positive feedback.
Ugly guy -> gets bullied -> low confidence -> gets bullied even more -> even lower confidence = downward spiral
Goodlooking guy -> gets praised -> high confidence -> gets praised even more -> higher confidence = upward spiral
Before you come with i know this 4'11 hispanic midget with a deformed face that slays 9/10 models every weekend bullshit.
These are extreme outliers the only reason you remember him and not all the Chads that slay because it's like seeing an alien, it's not the norm.

kek, no there isn't. Every girl want's a dominate, asserted guy. They only settle for beta fucks cause there is so many of them.
I learned this shit the hard way
>>41913503
No they don't. Plenty of girls with social anxiety that would literally faint if a Chad approached them.
I see plenty of good looking guys with speech problems, anxiety from drug use, zero mental health with good looking girls.
Meanwhile ugly guys with "good personalities" get jack shit.
>>41913488
well, I'd fuck Lebowski.
