What are some books that you've read or that are reading that have left a mark on how you view life. Finished pic related a couple months back. It's a light read with a simple message but a powerful one. Even if it's obvious it's always nice to remember to never give up.

>>77533250Serious question, what is the actual point of an e reader? I just read my ebooks on my phone, which seems a lot more practical to me than having to carry around an extra decive. What is the objective advantage of an ereader? I mean, I guess its bigger than a phone, but does that really matter? You can change the font size of the books on your phone to however big you like.
>>77534107e-reader screens dont rape your eyes with blue light, dont have distractions like easy to access games/social media sites, longer battery life for travel, and are designed around books with features like bookmarking, notes, highlighting, etc.
It's the start of the week again, take a deep breath in, hold it and exhaleWere you thinking of giving up today? No you weren't. You made it through last week, you'll make it through this one as wellWhat are your goals for this week? What do you plan to achieve? List it all down.Take a deep breath, hold it and exhale, move at your own paceWe're ALL gonna make itThe motivation thread is open
>>77527978>What are your goals for this week? What do you plan to achieve?Keep stepping down the substances, stupidly let my guard down, one weekend of "oh a little bit won't hurt, just a bit to 'relax' etc. (t. faggot-addict part of my brain)" and that spiraled into two months of slipping back to my bad habits accompanied by mysterious massive increase in anxiety/depression lol. But on the other hand I didn't fall fully into it, kept the amounts small vs. before, didn't fall for doomerism and forced myself to socialise, go for walks and now in the countryside for a 'detox', picking berries and doing manual labour.tl;dr, anon did dumb, anon fixing dumb
>>77528470>I think there's just something fundamentally wrong with meLike what? I doubt there is anything wrong with you anon. >so I guess I just have to accept that I'm dying alone.Press X for doubt. It can be discouraging at the start but don't give up and don't let it get to you.And ironically try not to obsess about it, yeah its not easy but, imo, its a bit similar to how you can sense the terminally online gooners who then wonder why they have trouble socialising.
I wanna be a hero. I know it's immature and unrealistic but it's all I've ever wanted. I don't know how to translate this into reality but I still want it. I'm 31 now and it's still the only thing I want to do. It doesn't have to be super hero even just like those TV shows where they go around and help people like Knight Rider or Leverage. In a world that's so irony poisoned and defeatist I want to be a symbol of hope and offer tangible help. I'm already a first responder but that barely feels close to what I want.
Christ continues to bless me greatly. I've been focusing on service, prayer and scripture lately. It has been wonderful.40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.Matthew 25:40https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/nt/matt/25?lang=eng&id=p40#p40
>>77534091What you're going through is a cannonical male experience for everyone in their early 30s. Kind of like when Jesus died for our sins at 33.
Started doing these heavy af and already got stretch marks on my shoulders
>>77534042>>77534052>attach arm cannon>get big shoulders>science, bitch
>>77534061God dammit, I missed the perfect opportunity>attach arm cannon>get cannonball delts>science, bitch
>>77534057post body
>>77534075Well, again, I don't see how that matters, because even if you think I'm a dyel, that still doesn't change the science or the fact that 9 out of 10 people have experience the opposite as you did, but ok, sure.
>>77534061>>77534067Will lateral raises give me Samus delts?
How many calories should a twink eat?Honest question. I want a slim lean body like a twink. Im noy gay, but these kind of guys have the best physique for wearing tight clothes and being shirtless. Also the types of girls i like (skinny gamer anime girls) love these types of guysRight now im about 170lbs 5'7. How much would you say guy in the OP weighs? How many calories do you think he eats in one day?
you need more way more muscle than you think and diet more than you thinkstart cutting and lifting with a final goal of 120lbsAfter that you have to bulk, 2 years of productive training and you should be there .t 5'7 122lbs twink
>>77533987Post body? Curious of what the end result looks like
>>77533987I‘m 6ft, how much should I lose to go from twunk to twink? I‘m the blonde guy itt.
>>77534023Might as well skip straight to HRT.

/qtddtot/ - Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own ThreadDurianRider edition>>77509910
>>77532856Anything I can do to prevent this? I don't mind waiting out and continue my workout but doing OHP and feeling burning shoulders for a period of time is kinda horrible imo
>>77531726>>77532029For context I am OHPing 95 for reps, 115 for one, benching 135 for reps, 155 for one, curling a 40lb ez bar and lateral raising 8lb dumbbells. The curls and LRs feel easy/light and I could go heavier but I do 15 reps per set and my arms burn a bit by the end of a set. Does this sound right and is it a reasonable ratio compared to my ohp and bench numbers? Or am I going too light on curls and LRs? all units are in freedom units, and yes my numbers are shit, just came back from years offthanks
>>77533456I prefer doing 3x8 for biceps and 3x8-10 for lateral raises. If you do LTR after OHP it is worth trying 2 sets of 8-12 since you already did some side delt volume with the OHP. But you are 100% going to light and too many reps on your accessories.The burn you feel is partly from fatigue rather than proper stimulus like when you bench for 5-8 reps. How close you have come to failure is a better metric.Also nitpick, bench is not related to biceps. Rows do work biceps on the other hand.
>>77529842Answer me you fucking DYELs!
would i be better off giving the weights a miss today if i'm running on 3 hours of sleep and my brain's been in a fog all day?
How long do you last in bed? Has becoming /fit/ made any changes?
>>77531056The brain-amputated niggers on this board(avg IQ 80) will scoff at this, naturally with no counterpoint, because they haven't introspected once in their lives.>duude it's like souls intertwining or some shit maaan, especially when she is a scorpioThere's even a retard calling YOU hylic???>>77531146, hello, moron, in what way is being a slave to your earthly desires, that according to the gnosticism you invoked, was fashioned to feel good by the demiurge to keep souls trapped. You're all so fucking stupid, it's absurd. Keep thinking that brainlessly rutting and shoving your member into a wet hole of your """""""""soulmate"""""""""(she will leave you or you will leave her in a few months/years) is some "deep experience of love" and not your dullard ass reacting to endorphins. You can shoot heroin right now and feel twice as good, does that make it a heavenly nectar that strengthens the soul o algo too?

>>77530689I stopped having sex 3 years ago because every woman I hooked up with was a basket case/disgusting whore. Good sex isn’t worth the mental (or financial) drain women inflict upon you.
>>77533906>>77531056Notice how autists never make this assertion about food or any hobby that gives a physiological response (like running and the high that follows)?You are just a bitter autist who thinks he’s above the rest of us by pretending to have “figured” out the human experience by deciding it has no value. Any anons wanna bet these posters absolutely love Rick and Morty?
You guys told me sports would make me age like fine wine.
>>77533330>what cope proceeds?Isn’t enough embarrassment to call yourself an athlete when the only “exercise” you do is standing up for going to take a shit once or twice per day?
>>77533981Crazy cope
running around in the sun all day long fucks your shit updoing roids and eating 4000+ calories a day for years on end also fucks your shit updoing moderate exercise, being sub 14% bodyfat, putting a sunscreen and hat on when you exercise outside is not the same as those

Anybody addicted to alcohol who managed to stop? How on Earth do you quit drinking (if you're an alcoholic)?
>>77533697You’ve trashed your brain chemistry with alcohol and can’t imagine a life of enjoyment without it. That’s sad as fuck anon. Look at a child that is playing and having fun. You’ll never be that happy again because you think happiness is in a bottle of booze. Pathetic. Kill yourself. Unironically.
>>77533966Bro what the fuck I'm trying to quit man.
>>77533996Once your brain heals and starts producing chemicals like it is supposed to, you’ll find things are fun again. It takes a long time. Like a year.
>>77534008Ok, the price to pay for being an irresponsible fuck with substance abuse I guess.
>>77529806I was one of the worst I ever met. Homeless and drinking mouthwash. Would go right into DTs if I didn't have any for a day. Turning to the Lord Jesus is the only thing that worked, I tried everything else for years.Everything that isn't God will let you down in the end. Choose the One with the keys to eternal life. Peace and joy are here man.

>>77533760No, it's not OP. The spammer is autistically obsessed with this general and spends hours every day shitting them up (he shits up other threads too but seemingly not as much). Everybody discussing actual topic normally is obviously a normal person.There are no "people" posting all the hate. It is one mentally ill retard doing it - likely from multiple browsers/devices to seem more convincing since he keeps bringing attention to it.Which is why there's a troll on every OP pic of these threads and why the first post is a warning about the troll.He wants you to think everybody here is a retarded hater incel so nobody bothers posting here anymore.He recently shit up a literal potato thread.It's NEVER multiple shitters, it's always one spammer who never gets banned.
>>77532720Fine for hypertrophy but doesnt do jackshit for strength.Also bridges are a meme. Used to workout using Convinct Conditioning and wasted literal years training with super minimal volume and doing high reps for no reason. Bridges basically just train triceps and quads in a shitty way, that's it.
>>77533815>same with indoor playgrounds, some do have weightlifting areas for adultsThat's smart.Yeah I guess OP meant when you just had a baby and all it does is shits and yells like a retard.

>What's DK stand for? Donkey Kong?>No... Dick KingWelcome to Dick King General. In here we discuss different protocols and strategies to grow our penis's to compete with today's porn riddled market.Growing your penis is important because if you are hot and in shape enough to pull a good looking lady, then she unzips your pants to be greeted with a 5 1/2" erection... it is going to make her surprised in a bad way. This will shatter your confidence, and leave you fleeing to Dick King General for advice. I know a lot about this shit, and can help you get started. Seeing as the jannies have yet to prune some mtf showing their nipples.... I see no reason that my latest instalment in how to grow your penis will get deleted, but this further confirms the janny is a homosexual who is overweight and gay. Anyways, shoot away with your questions. I could probably build noob routines that take about 20min a day and will start showing gains in 1-2 months.

Relay EditionAdvice for new runners:- Build up speed and mileage SLOOOOOWLY (start with 15 minutes, increase mileage at most 10% per week);- It will feel like you're going slow, you are; don't worry about setting good times for a couple of months;- If you start to feel pain anywhere, stop and rest;- Don't try to copy what pros are doing. Do what feels natural; and- Once you can comfortably roon 6 miles/10km, start thinking about a goal in terms of race distance and time, and look for a training plan for that goal (see below for suggested plans).>Couch to 5k/Bridge to 10k Guideshttps://www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/running-and-aerobic-exercises/get-running-with-couch-to-5k/https://i.imgur.com/ef98R.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/qNJIy.png>I want to run a fast 5k, 10k, half-marathon, or marathonComment too long.

I recently started looking at my HR zones and realized that I treat every training/chill run like it's a race day and I need to go all out (zones 4 and 5). I tried consciously slowing down on the long run yesterday, but was barely able to swing into zone 3 sometimes. Going even slower than that felt like walking.How do you train for HR zone 2? Deep breathing or something to calm down the heart rate?
>>77533504It seems reasonably fast but I wouldn't be even thinking about what times my kid is running until they are at least 10 years old. I'm sure there are plenty of other kids just as fast at that age but nobody is timing their runs.
>>77533693If you are reasonably fit but with low aerobic base then you just need to do the slow runs and your hr will come down after doing this for a few weeksIf you are not very fit then maybe top up your running with some cross training to improve fitness so you can run in zone 2 without being at a walking pace.
>>77533693How long have you been running?
>>77533693My Garmin forerunner 35 watch consistently gives my heart rate 8-10 bpm too high. That’s half a zone. I do all my easy runs without a watch because there is no need. I start and end easy runs at my mailbox I don’t autistically hit a whole number distance and I have a sentence that I say out loud sometimes to gauge my level of effort>I should be able to say sixteen word sentences easily without having to catch my breath
>spend an extra $120 every month to block DHT and encourage hair growth maybe Great, my Slavic family can't afford this, and we're genetically doomed to Norwood anyway. What's the point?>don't take it, you look repulsively ugly and feel cold>take it, you lose your reproductive vigor, become a sissy >depressed with no wife regardless because your parents forced you to break up with the only one who was willing It feels like a lose-lose situation with drugs and pharmaceuticals, and genetics in the end.
>>77533944Maybe it'll disappear now that globalization is a thing and we have the internet, maybe this is contributing to the lack of fertility in Eastern Europe. The people have become aware of balding and are selecting against it.

>>77533847What freaking country are you in? Get an online appointment for a doctor in Italy, get them to prescribe you 5mg finasteride pills, fly to Italy, max out the number of refills on the pills in every pharmacy you can find because they cost €15 for 30 pills (x5mg = 30 weeks), fly home. Use pill-cutter to divide them up. Last even longer if you take them every other day.
