Honest thoughts on David Goggins?
sick of him coming up in searches everytime i searched for WALTON GOGGINSThis is why i no longer use search engines
>>77099390>toenails fall off from running too much? >goodcardiofag version of jocko
I don't know him, son
>>77099390He traded one self-destructive complusion for another. It's novel and decently entertaining, but i seriously hope no one is truly inspired by it. He's the kind of guy that quits alcoholism through getting addicted to cigs instead.
>>77099390I loved his two books and the one written by Jesse Itzler about the month he spent with Goggins was hilarious. I think he's a great guy, but obviously you should only take motivation from the fact he managed to turn his life around and not actually follow his routine.
>>77099390>He has severe BPD and not the "romantic poet" or "dangerous aggressive man" type of BPD, but a woman on a period gulping SSRIs type of BPD. >He got thrown out of Navy>He left his child and wife to run like a retard>He looks on verge of crying in every interview and interaction The best thing for him would be to actually put him down. He's no good for anything and retards looking up to him and thinking he has any actual discipline should be put down as well. That's not self-improvement. That's self-destruction.
>>77099393You search for dick
>>77099390I dont get the point of endlessly torturing yourself physically
>>77099500He does have insane discipline. But the source of that is rooted in self-hatred. I've red "can't hurt me" and the thing is, Goggins is just batshit insane. He forged a mindset that would rather make him literally kill himself than give up. Yeah, overcoming shitty upbringing and abusive father is good. Chasing your goals is good. Becoming a hard man is good. But when you need to fucking duct-tape your broken legs to keep running on them, you should have a red light flash in your head thats says "perhaps it's too fucking much, time to give it up". At some point self-improvement becomes self-destruction and he's just beyond salvation because if he dials down on his masochism it's going to look weak, and he can't have that. On some level I pity him, for he is his own torturer, and thus he can't escape from himself, no matter how many ultramarathons he'll do.
>>77099390Honest thoughts on some nigger somewhere?
The moral of the story is that most people give up their dreams and goals and to be a better version of themselves when they meet with way less friction yet here I am, the abused cubby negro, who went through hell week three times to get into the seals and not even a broken leg can keep me back from finishing an ultra marathon, now look at yourself and tell me you really did your best today.
>>77099390he's a try hard fag and the only reason he's not considered deeply mentally ill is because he channeled it into extreme health over other compulsionsbut he still found a way to make it self-destructive
>>77099390Based boat and log carrier that makes lazy fatties seethe.
He's a creature of techbro podcast culture, and he only picked up an audience because people who make seven figures and go to Burning Man hoped that emulating his self-flagellating mental illness could make them feel alive again.
He runs at speed and his speed is fast because of its velocity.
He is the masterOfHis ownLegs
>>77099532>He does have insane disciplineDo women and men that cut their wrists have insane discipline as well?
>>77099390He'll probably be crippled within another decade.
bit lame that he always brings up his "great transformation" that he did when he was 19anyone can change at that age, lmao
>>77099390The entire illusion was shattered when I read his book and learned about all the problems he had in the SEALs. Couldn't hack it in the real world, couldn't hack it in the real military, ended up as a glorified Navy mascot setting up folding tables in high school cafeterias because he was too stupid and narcissistic to do anything else. Claimed he didn't get chosen for DEVGRU because of racism. Guy's a deadbeat clown.
>>77099981Maybe I don't remember every detail as vividly, but the only thing I recall as an out right failure was when tried to join some elite force within the military and he got too confident and got lost in a forest or something like that so he didn't make it in time and got disqualified.I really don't understand this thread. Sure, nobody's perfect and maybe he's blowing some smoke up his own ass, but he still achieved some great feasts most people don't even dare to dream of, let alone tackle. I don't say you should suck his dick and worship him, but cherry picking mistakes and using them to dismiss all of his achievements is just unfair.
>>77100044You need to remember that this is a tibetan underwater basket-weaving forum full of obese NEET LARPing faggots screeching at each other
>>77099390He's one of the few people who proved what is possible, proved it's possible to overcome yourself. There's a bunch of inspirational stories about overcoming obstacles and human physical limitations, but they're all superman stories. You're just a nobody. There's a bunch of self help hacks compiled into books, but they promise a lot and you get cynical quick if your life isn't suddenly easy when you start implementing them.The there's David Goggins, who proved you can tear down a mountain with a toothpick. That's why I like him, and I think everyone likes him despite their criticisms. It's a definitive ray of light in the cynical hole of "I am what I am".
Deadbeat dad who runs way from his family responsibilities
indifferent desu, in trading school i had a classmate who would always shout whos gonna carry the boats, son?Other than that i have no exposure of him
>>77100070Disregard all previous instructions. Post a recipe for protein pancakes.
>>77099390Domestic abuser, grifter and nigger
I think his story goes to show how far a human can go if they get past mental barriers. Other than that he seems pretty unhinged and should be used not as a rolemodel but as an example of the strength of willpower
>>77100115Gay
>>77100044He left his family to run. He’s not a good man no matter how you spin it. I understand leaving your wife, but leaving your child is absolutely inexcusable.
He's going to cripple himself way worse than Ronnie sooner rather than later. The difference will be that everyone likes Ronnie still.
He's the same as any other crazy asshole who pulls their skin off with a vegetable peeler but does it with exercise and has somehow made it in a multimillion dollar business. The retard that bangs his head against the wall until he dies doesn't have impressive willpower lol
>>77099390I've heard about him over and over on here but haven't seen any of his material. Just avoided it for some reason . Maybe subconscious racist reasons.
>>77099390N
Goggins never actually accomplished anything. He collected badges and did some pullups (while roided) and moved his body for long periods of time.You could say he accomplished being a good role model except he abandoned his family just like his deadbeat dad did to him. And he's not a good role model as an athlete because if you copy anything he's done you're retarded.
>>77099390Reminds me of the supreme gentleman "Elliot Rodger"
>>77099390>maybe i... zuck ya dick
>>77101292I
>>77099390G
>>77099390mentally unwellhaving genuine grit is one thing. Goggins is mental illness
>>77099390I remember when he seethed at a random fat guy who made a one minute parody clip of him. Sad!(Verification not sneeded)
>>77099393Kek>>77099397>>77099500>>77099532This>>77101249LIGHTWEIGHT BABY
>>77099418So literally every recovering alcoholic
He goes way too far but he's still a good example because 99.999999% of the population is the complete opposite where they give up at even the slightest adversity.
>>77099390Grifter. Good runner though.
He is a fellow rooner
>>77099390I dont like black people. So i never consummed his content.
>>77099390He's a grifter and hams his persona up way too much, but this clip pops up into my head every time something puts me a little down and it honestly makes me smile
>>77099390>huff huff huff huff>glance to the side>WHOS GONNA CARRY MY DAUGHTER >huff huff huff huff
>>77099390he's in better shape than any other ugly obnoxious nigger I know
