For the $ you'd drop on a year at a gym you can get enough freeweights to last 3 generations.

Please don't focus on this stupid debate this isn't /fit/. People might like gym, others prefer lifting at home

The important thing is too lift and putting effort into it

If I can get past feeling like thousands of fiery hot needles are being pushed into the scabrous boils erupting on one side of my body I'll be able to get past feeling a little burn in my muscles when I start working out again

It's a blessing, really.

Negligible test boost from that. Just drink a cup of coffee before your lift for the boost and supplement protein powder, fish oil, and a multi. Nothing really else to it unless you want to do gear.

Hobbies/Interests: cutlery, woodworking
How do you deal with Authority: respectfully, it wont do society or you any good to try to undermine authority it will most likely get you killed or arrested
How do you deal with Leadership: if it's a good leader with same views as i, follow it, if not i check the arguments and point of view to judge if its worth following

I'm in the army btw, the best way to get good morals and personality, respectful, humble, get the job done

We're all going to make it.

We must do our best to first better ourselves. Body and Mind.

We have to have the physical and mental power to steer ourselves, and then our families, and then our communities, in a direction that's best for us all.

I don't want to see my family and friends suffer from obesity and depression, but if I, myself, haven't mastered both of those then who am I to try and guide them away from either??

I want to make a difference.

Honestly? Read and practice as much pickup garbage as you can. They all have some grains of truth in them and ultimately it'll 'click' at the back of your head.

/r/TheRedPill is probably the only sub worth anything on the entire site. Just read their recommended book lists and practice what they say.

Success with women is an internal thing.

>>86518966
I can´t really help you with that, there was a book from a german pick up artist (https://ernstchan.com/b/src/1435238640664.pdf if any german anon is interested) that helped me quite a bit but I think you are on a good way.
Even when I had no idea how to flirt, I got some women if you are decent in socializing it just happens sometimes.

1. passion

2. effort

3. capacity for suffering

put those 3 things together and you can achive your goals!

Helping others or just offering my help when I figured it could be needed has improved my life considerably. I've been a bit of a naysayer most of my life, found excuses when people asked for my help and never asked for help when I needed it either. It was an okay life, because I never had people who depended on me or had any expectations, but I also knew I could never rely on others either. Now that I offer my help and support I get rewarded in so many ways (even financially). I learn to get out of my comfort zone, get more respect and appreciation, people offer their help or favors in return which I will gladly accept. It strengthened my relationship with friends, acquaintances and the bond with my family and obviously, it also gives me a sense of accomplishment. Life is so much better when you're facing a problem and you know help is just one phone call away. I have to add: You do have to find the right balance so people will not exploit your readiness to help.

Motivation is fleeting.
Discipline is what keeps you going.
You have to do what you have to do even when you inevitably feel like not doing it.

Another thing: started going to a gym with my friend and what helps me not quit is if he's doing it I'm doing it.

Some days I wanted to lay in bed and just melt away. But he would text "what time at gym today?" And since we agreed to do this I can't just ignore my friend.

Excellent thread, brothers. Can't contribute much but definitely enjoying it. Based OP.

Could someone give me some tips to get over fapping? I'm not addicted to it but I usually end up fapping on weekends, that takes away too much of the tension and drive from me. I don't fap to porn btw.

>>86517394

Me. I've had mild depression coming and going most of my life, but the source was always being upset at myself for not reaching the potential I know I have. I fell into a hole a little while ago and added some addictions to that, and now I'm climbing back out. I turn 28 this week and have almost nothing to show for it.

All I want is a family, and I can't even support myself, let alone kids at this point. Iron pill inspires me.

How? My point is that I don't have the willpower or motivation to do something productive most of the time.

You faggots can never defeat normies. Simply because of that slur you made.

You've taken the word "normal" - the concept of a politically moderate, hygienic, healthy, sexually active, happy young man with a solid career and wide circle of friends - and you've turned that, into a slur.

it's powerful, especially mantra meditation like TM. that's why i gave it up years ago. ordinarily, your thoughts are like the footprints of a mouse, but in a state of one-pointed concentration they become like elephant footprints.

every thought you think in that state has immense power to transform you, for better or worse.


the best, most natural and safest form of "meditation" is love. your mind naturally sticks to what it loves. if you love one thing to the exclusion of all else, you can experience 24/7/365 meditation an all the benefits that go with that.

I really like furniture that is made from old materials. A friend of mine build desks from old farmhouse roof parts,
Every single piece is unique and will probably last a century. IKEA shit is really not worth it in the long run, people should rather invest a bit more in there furniture.
>>86520370
I learned it all while growing up so I don´t really have a lot of books on that. First of all you can read all you want the important part is going out and searching plants and shrooms for yourself.
Buy yourself a book to identify mushrooms (there are thousands of books like that) and start there. Mushrooms are a really good way of feeding yourself in the wilderness. Mushroom season is getting started at the moment so you will be able to start right now. Also dry some mushrooms to use as spices. Be careful to not pick toxic mushrooms (*duh*).
Apart from mushrooms, berrys are another good way to feed yourself and to get some sugar in your system. Blau-,Brom-,Him- and Erdbeeren are standard and if you have problems identifying them you should kill yourself. Also look up Felsenbirnen because in the Alps you will find these regularly and the are also eatable.
Herbs are complicated but it also shouldn´t be hard to find a book on them. Beerlauch, Sauerklee and some others are basic but if you really want to get into making teas and poisons you will have to read a bit. Look up Anika tincture this shit is helpful as fuck. Start yourself a little herb garden.
I hope that helped I now search for some books, if you have any questions pls ask.

Cycling really topples everything else. Swimming isn't bad either and extreme good for the joins and other muscles.
See pic related, note however that its 47minutes swimming vs 2 hours cycling. So cycling is pretty much 1kcalories/h while swimming is around 500kcalories/h.

I have heard this one before, but if you throw it into google you get all sorts of article claiming one or the other.

Reminder to take COLD showers instead of hot showers. Cold water decreases your chances of getting sick by strengthening your immune system, and is very good for testosterone.

The only (legal) supplements that work in my experience:
1) creatine - for muscle (but be careful, some studies say that if you have kidney troubles you shouldn't take them, also one study says you can lose your hair but I think it's BS)
2) fish oil and vitamin D - health
You can take multivitamins if you want to but eating fruit and vegetables takes care of that.

So this are my books on the topic, to get started "Prayers Buch der Pilze" or something similar and "Essbare Wildpflanzen" are decent.
The rest is ether to old to still get it (inherited it from my mum who is crazy for that stuff) or to complicated.

>>86514106
I wrote something in yesterday's self-improvement thread, which I will summarize here.

A lot of what exists now in the world kills the natural male urge to go forward and be active. Normally rewards are food, shelter and sex/procreation, and us men have a strong drive to get it, to survive. Welfare takes care of the first two, porn of the last. Women tend to deal better with being on welfare since taking care of children is a strong motivation for them and their "go out there and conquer" drive is lower anyhow. Men get depressed and anxious without satisfaction of tasks well done. Video games provide many with a surrogate for that too.

So, without the need for a reward, what motivation is left? It is not normal for any being to sit down in a chair all day, but when all reason to do otherwise are gone, your lives are empty.

Also is nothing wrong with fapping, but don't rely on imposed images. Fapping from imagination requires , indeed, imagination - a very important skill for creativity and innovation. Fapping from porn gives you the impression that a catalogue of women is lying at your finger tips, many a lot hotter than women you see in real life. And yes, porn is easier, but just because it's easy, doesn't mean it's good.

>>86522234
This really lifted my mood.

Thank you anon

>>86522155
I'm doing nofap right now. It's not miraculous as the subreddit tries to represent, but conquering one bad habit causes a ripple effect and you start improving in other parts of life. Also, the sexual frustration makes you more driven towards women and makes your workout more intense.

I have no hobbies aside from my music, I've been writing and composing since I was 14, it's my life.
I put a lot of energy into my work, I absolutely love it. Only problem is that most of my time is spent in a studio or at my workstation.

I DO know my diet sucks, so I've decided to start eating better- I happen to love salad, so I've already began eating it much more often, stopped drinking soda, and started eating less per meal.
I want to start the other half and begin working out but I don't know how to approach it. I live a very sedentary lifestyle and spending 12 hours in a studio is not physically demanding at all, so I'm basically starting from scratch. What I'm afraid of is my tendency to overdo things. I don't want to wake up after day one and be unable to move my arms or legs because I pushed myself too hard- I do know that I will need to feel sore to see improvements though, I just can't afford to be put out of commission.

Any advice on how I can start a workout regiment that wont kill me? I'm not trying to avoid the pain, I just want to bring it on slowly rather than be hit with it overnight.

I agree that masturbation is healthy and normal, but some people (including me) are affected negatively by it. I don't think I'll stop fapping altogether, it's just porn that I wanted to get rid of. Porn is fucking vile.

>Jogging distance: 5km at ~14km/h everyday

>>86522699
Start walking before you attempt to run, or bike, or lift. You need to build up. Swimming is good too but that might not be practical.

If you commute, get of one stop earlier and walk the rest home, then you can shower if you are sweaty. Time it so you walk half an hour more or less. Carry water with you as well, dehydration makes things harder.

I started quite slow, first of all I always trained three times a day: after waking up, before lunch and 3 hours before going to bed.
One day I trained arms and the next day I trained legs and belly.
I always did as much of an exercise as I could, over the weeks I managed to increase the amount.
The exercises I did and partly still do are: push up and chin up for arms, iron butterflys, sit ups and roman twists for belly.
Just do whatever exercises work for you, there is no point in chin ups if you can´t even do 1

>>86522835
I don't think I'm really afraid of anything. The closest thing would be a slight social anxiety because I never go out, but that's easily fixed if I go out more. I'm not anxious about moving to a new place or doing a new thing - I moved across the country for school and managed that just fine. I don't think there's anything wrong with being a wagecuck. I'm planning to pursue a career that I enjoy and enables me to do what I want without relying on someone else. The security, power, and freedom of earning a wage is one of the most uplifting experiences I've ever had.

About the showers: I go for really lukewarm and I finish off with cold water. I can't jus step in pure cold water.

About the urge, that's difficult, but it's a habit you created and will have to undo. If it's really super hard, think about your fave video and try to see it before your eyes. If really it doesn't work reading porn might help, because your mind does all the work too. You'll get the urge plenty of times and most likely you will sometimes sill look up porn vids. But the point is to true again, to always pick yourself up and go back to your goal.

I think it depends on your race's surrounding environments, i.e. what your forefathers lived in. I have Gaul/Celtic ancesty, these guys were used to the cold/cold water like rain due to their environment. I have literally no trouble getting in and out of cold water. I feel like those of souther european ancestry (greeks/spaniards) might hve a bit more trouble with that since their countries are warmer. Maybe it's because I live in Canada.

Here's how to lose weight.

I used to work in a prison kitchen, supervising about 10-15 pedophiles, murders, rapists, and one guy who got busted with around thirty kilos of heroin.

Yes, this is in michigan, no, not detroit.

Anyway, i fucked my leg up bad. Numb, burning, itching, all down my right thigh, thought i tore a muscle. Nope, fucked a nerve up. What the doctors were too nice to say, or afraid to say, was that the only reason it happens is because you're fat. Only way to fix it is to be not fat. That fucking simple. No drugs or therapy will fix it. at this point i was around 302 at 6'2", heaviest i've ever been.

I went on a rather amazing diet plan, called the "stop eating so goddamn much" diet. 3 meals a day, 1-2 snacks if you need, portion control (double cheeseburger and fries is not a snack, chubby), lots of water (soda is not water), no eating after 8:00. Ever. It requires an assload of self discipline, and you will be the hungriest motherfucker in the world for about 2-3 weeks. Being a hungry motherfucker means it;s working.

Been doing this for a bit over three months, down to 270 or so, feeling much better, not tired all the time, getting feeling back in my leg. I did nothing extra then just stop eating so goddamn much, and it's worked well. Starting to go on more walks and such as well, but just not eating so goddamn much will make you lose weight.

>>86522155

It is very good and the best thing I've ever done. My plan is to never fap ever again. Will that happen? IDK I've been saying that ever since I started NoFap two years ago. My longest streak ever was 120 days, right now I'm at 30.

The thing is, contrary to some beliefs, you actually do keep gaining benefits. I'll give you a breakdown on what happened during my longest streak. Also, I've had other long streaks as well and the benefits usually matched up to the same days each time.

Day 1 - feel like shit, like my old self after a relapse
Day 3 - this is when I started to begin to get motivated again, energy levels are clearly elevated
Day 8 - start to get that "superpower" feel as well. My personality gets charismatic and interacting with girls is painless
Day 15 (two week mark) - I begin to feel comfortable in any social situation

Day 28 (four week mark) - This always is an interesting milestone. Here is where the "superpowers" become full fledged. I have amazing mental clarity and develop the will to dominate anything and anybody in my path. Unfortunately, this giant surge of testosterone always seems to make me become unglued at times and somewhat erratic. Feelings of disappointment that I'm not doing better at life, anger, blaming ((them)) for screwing me over, etc. Currently at this point on my current streak

Day 63 - Mood begins to mellow out, able to undertake any task without hesitation, low stress etc

Day 90 (only been here once) - This was an interesting time as well. At this point (I'm an avid coffee drinker) I felt like no matter how much I slept, I could jump out of bed and start the day without any coffee whatsoever. Endless energy

Day 120 - the only time I got this far, it was around this point that I started feeling happy and content at all times. No more jealousy or anger just content, yet focused

>>86523829
I started with 10 push ups and 3 chin ups. When I felt like that was easily doable I always increased push ups be 5 and chin ups by 1.
Belly wise I started with 80 sit ups and increased by 10 when it got to easy and with 100 roman twists and increased by 10 (my belly game was pretty decent to begin with).
Just try how much you can realistically do and if that gets to easy increase by a reasonable amount.

Yes it's a good starting goal but to what ends? If you put up a almost unreachable life long goal, you will act with a purpose, not to just get by and survive. When you feel like giving up, you will remember your purpose and move on no matter how shitty your life gets. Think of it as something like the star polaris, it's always up there in the night sky so you don't get lost

>>86523284

Don't be silly anon, we all have fears and worries. They are the things in our minds that keep us from fulfilling our wishes. This alone shows just how you need to get to know yourself more. For example do you know why you have social anxiety? I mean the real source of it, not this source's reflections. Nothing is random or by chance

>I'm planning to pursue a career that I enjoy and enables me to do what I want without relying on someone else. The security, power, and freedom of earning a wage is one of the most uplifting experiences I've ever had
>I've ever had

Earning your own money is good but being a wageslave is not the only way to do it. If you don't work at a wage job you love (not like, love), you will get frustrated by it. We are talking about working for 30+ fucking years here. The. same. fucking. shit. every. fucking. day.

Since the year began, I've been limiting myself to one fap per week, to release the sexual tension that has been building up over the week from college and work.

I have a little more energy and I am more confident around women, but that just may be because I imposed this situation on myself and I'm forced to be social to a degree.

>>86524203
your hormones might be related to it, but you have to kill that lazyness don't think oh its just today i'll go to gym/workout tomorrow no problem, don't procrastinate, set up rules and follow them, it may sound silly, but before i workout i check news that i know will piss me off like huffington post or another leftist scum news site, sometimes even 9gag makes me angry i waste that anger at the workout

>>86522155

To wagecucks, how do you fit any workout into your daily activities? I work from 08:00-17:00 and am usually exhausted when I get home I sit in my chair or bed with no energy.

I want to improve my life since I'm still young but I'm really out of shape. I'm cutting soda out, and alcohol out of my life. I want to focus on eating better and to stop relying on buying food, and cut junk food (candy, high sugar foods) intake. I don't know if I should try fixing my sleep schedule and waking up earlier to cook a breakfast. I've thought about it but I can never act on it. It may be good to cut video games out as well and focus on reading more since I stopped since I finished high school 6 years ago. I don't know how to start, I can't afford a gym but I have some weights and a punching bag hand me down. Where do I start improving myself? I want to ensure the survival of my race and pass on my genes.

I'm not thinking super long term here - I could very easily employ myself after I gain some experience. My skillset is very flexible - I just want to actually go work somewhere first. Once I feel like moving on, I'll go the direction that I feel like.

>we all have fears and worries
No fears, but certainly there are stresses. I'm a financial burden on my family at the moment, which frustrates me. That frustration doesn't motivate me though, it makes me want to lay in bed in despair. As for the social anxiety, it's mostly an issue of vanity - the longer I stay in without going somewhere, the less social skills I have in public. It's like pic related. The anxiety mostly goes away if I'm in public often, so I'm not really concerned about that.

You have to beat yourself up. You've probably been doing it anyway, just use it to an advantage. Be the bully who made you feel bad for being a piglet in the first place.

You are not hungry, you're bored. Play something, move around, clean, drink some water. You're not hungry, you're bored.

You're hungry? Good. A little hunger is good. You want a snack? No, big boy, a roast beef sandwich and cole slaw is not a snack. By the same token, a large pizza is not a meal, it's several. If you wanna eat junk, fine, but it's not gonna work as well. Don't feel like cooking? Buy a rice cooker with a steamer basket. Fill with two cups rice, four cups water. get some frozen veggies and some chicken breast. Put 1-2 chicken breasts and some veggies in the steam basket. put on the lid. Press the button. when it clicks, you have food. Wanna get fancy, maranate your chicken.

The magic of this whole process is that there's no excuses or cheating. all the diets and programs and systems are a work-around for not having will and discipline. Which is why they don't work. Take your goddam life in your hands and stop eating so goddamn much, and you won't be as fat. If you expect someone or something to do it for you, then just like the pudgy piglet you probably were, you're gonna relapse the second you get the chance.

Yes, cake is tasty. Is it better then buying pants in a regular store? if so, then eat up. Yes, you could indeed eat nearly all of that large triple meat pizza. That, or go up a flight of stairs without losing your breath. It's all about which you would rather have.

B-but i can't do that!

Then you're going to be at the mercy of your base urges, plain and simple. self-discipline is the ONLY way, anything else is a band-aid, and just as easily removed once it wears out. Nobody is going to do it for you...if you depend on a doctor, a guru, friends or family to help bear you up...then you're not going to succeed anyway.

any programmers here?
I had an idea of sorts, we make a website, something simple using Flask or whatever and a chrome extension that does nothing more but report the [ANTI-TRUMP] activity to that website.

So let's say you're in a twitter coversation, you just click the extension, it reports the [ANTI-TRUMP] activity and it's immediately displayed on the website. There, the users looking at the website can go to that twitter conversation to [CLEAR THE RECORD] about Trump.

And so on. Could be a good way to organize our memetic efforts tbqh

>>86524841

Former wagecuck here, I would just wake up before it's time to go to work. Simple. Actually had a friend ask me this pretty recently.

Although you are going to have to eat pretty healthy to have the energy to do this. Basically if I had to be at work by 8:00 a.m., I'd wake up at 5 or 5:30 so I could drive to the gym and back. Whatever it takes bro. Sure it might suck at first but you'll get used to it. I wasn't about to let some Jew CEO keep me from something as important as fitness

>>86524985
Spiritual development can be done as a group but the most effective way is alone. Still turning to a place like this for tips on fasting, meditation, and other ways to develop a sense of spirituality can be very useful for a well rounded man.

Meat and vegetables! Other kinds of food are rewards that you can enjoy once in a while. Make sure to vary the vegetables and eat a lot of them! (i.e., don't rely on green beans, try something you might not like)

no, I meant as in /pol/acks install the extension and then whenever they come across anything [ANTI-TRUMP] on the net (anywhere, youtube, reddit, twitter even 4chan) then they just click the extension to report it and then other people see that on the site and come to [CORRECT THE RECORD].

I think it would be too complex to make a bot go through the conversations and search for anti-trump sentiments. I don't know where to even begin with that? Machine Learning?

But it would be simple to make a bot that just tweets in #Trump and #Hillary related hashtags pro trump sentiments.

lads I can imagine something similar to the lower-echelon Freemasons forming here

constant self improvement is a pivotal role in the collectivization of us, it also gives a basis for the movement as a whole to work on and help each-other

what's needed is more communication, 4chan is great, but ultimately impossible to make any real connection

suggestions?

>>86525449
>>86524985

I have to disagree here. It depends what kind of spirituality you are looking for. Christian? Buddhist?

I am an Orthodox Christian and there's no way I would be well spiritually developed without having a spiritual father to confide in. Even the monks at the monasteries have a spiritual guide.

But yes, other than talking to a spiritual father, it is best to be alone to pray and inwardly reflect

>>86525718

You could use a discord, and even make separate parts dedicated to different ways of improvement. (Literature, spiritual, physical, etc) Of course weed out those who are there to mess around or just be negative.

>>86524841
Start by tracking your time in a little notebook. Write down all you do for a few days. You'll quickly see what you waste your time on. Your problem isn't work, it's probably efficacy or video games.

Great. To notice a difference? Hard to say, I was pretty skinny at the beginning (total skeletor mode) and I never really gained a lot, it was a very slow but steady process.
I realized that I´m no longer the spooky scary skeleton after half a year (I was and still am pretty thin) when a girl in bar made moves on me. I never got a compliment for my body ever before, that was a strange experience.
But you still shouldn´t just do it for the looks, for me the best part was to be able to lift heavy stuff and to feel like I could achieve something.

Really liking these threads, it's so easy to go your entire life without knowing some little bit of info that could improve it drastically.

Every man should learn the very basics of economics, i recommend "How an economy grows and why it crashes" - can read it in a few hours

A guide and mentor can always be helpful, I am Greek Orthodox and totally understand the perspective you are coming from.

At the end of the day the best way to develop a healthy spiritual life varies from person to person, some seek the company of a congregation of believers, some seek the gods of their ancestors, some see spirituality and the body linked and practice yoga or tai chi, and some seek spiritual enlightenment within themselves.

This thread can help with spiritual development by offering guidance to those that don't know where to begin, whether christian, pagan, buddhist or atheist (Muslims probably shouldn't bother).

1B, 486x500px

it would be great to each learn from eachother, I assume many of us already do pick up articles posted, essays, videos and movies recommended and such.

But it's because of the anonymity that the chances of recognizable improvement are slim and disheartening, it'll be a worth while cause to collectivize so as to have something to work from. To see that we as a group are improving.

It could start off as simply an online presence, a community like /pol/, of people from other boards and such who join the group to better themselves, then, in turn, help better others and new comers better themself. The difference being that each other is identifiable, likely with an alias.

/pol/ is a chaotic mass of a new power, look at what it's achieved already, without planning or cohesion, imagine what could be done once the laggards are weeded out and the willing are improved to become better, more communicative men

I dedicate my efforts to a certain god that resonates with it (studying and reading philosophy goes to Athena, if I were going to the gun range I'd dedicate it to Ares, gym-stuff for Apollo). It helps me to strive to be the best at what I do, because I'm not just doing this for myself. I want to offer up something that costed me effort to a deity. Half assing it would be an insult. I can't be the greatest at everything but the main point is the effort, and it helps me push myself a bit harder.

>>86527409
>Not reading the bible every day.

Flexibility is key, but here are some general guidelines:
1) Gotta get your body right, first. Regular exercise of whatever form, strict proper nutrition (eat what your ancestors ate, ignoring the mass produced filth your parents might have been tricked into eating, AND NO CHEAT DAYS as even one day of preservative-laden dreck can ruin your gut flora for a lon enough period of time to fall back into a rut), and break your bodily vices (if you like to intoxicate yourself, which can have ritual and mental benefits, do so on special occasions only, and never by yourself) one of which is regular masturbation.
2) Give your mind TOOLS. Whatever promotes your ability to solve general problems: meditation for detachment from emotional traps and presence of mind, calculus and m.v. calculus in the vein of an analysis course (eg. Spivak's texts) as well as linear algebra to understand mathematical proof and for use in a broad range of disciplines, statistics for a rigorous understanding of real world problems, and computation are where I'd start, but really studying most disciplines properly will allow you to see the benefits of abstraction as well as its fundamental limits, when only trial and error can be applied.
3) ohhshiiieeet why the fuck am I wasting my time on 4chan again

You probably want to find a church that's KJV-only, then. Reading the Bible for yourself will help you spot out the deceivers, frauds and equalists. The based preachers aren't scared to preach from the OT or condemn homosexuality, while the shit ones stick to their favourite gospel stories if they touch the Bible at all. You're looking for lovers of traditional British moral values, not progressives.

Best of luck in your search.
