I like that one schizo anon who calls the other schizo anon out. Not sure if its real or not, but he basically tags low quality posts with a reply "this nigga is kekeke a 38 year old neet that doesn't leave his house".

I like it, its like a curse. Perhaps we should make this a tradition. Every time there is an obvious bait low quality post, to prevent retards from replying we should invoke the spirit of kekeke, or whatever his nick was. Sounds like some Aztec vengeful daemon deity.

Then again, I am no psychologist but doing things like that is basically giving cred for free, and if that nigga exists and if he's shameless, he might shitpost more for it.

>How have you improved yourself this week/month/year?
Since february of this year I made a plan, set my goals (in fitness/education/job/hobbies) and so far I have been fairly consistent
For fitness it's achieving a freestanding handstand/HSPU and a clean muscle up on rings as well as getting better at running, I keep my diet in check in a sense that I don't obsess about it (i.e. counting calories and all that) but I get my protein in and eat mostly whole home-cooked meals to appetite
For education/job is finishing my degree while improving my skills, currently going the odin project (https://www.theodinproject.com), a fullstack web development curriculum which is mostly project-based as opposed to infinite tutorials where you just stare at someone else doing stuff, I also do leetcode/competitive programming on the side as practice, I think there's no better all-in-one resource than https://usaco.guide/
For hobbies I combat shitposting and wasting time with better things such as reading (I'm on my 7th book already, I read fiction and non-fiction), I actually engage with things that I like (movies/games) instead of gossiping about them and I also picked up language learning, currently grinding my way through a japanese manga

I think some of the most important changes have been
1) ditching active procrastination, it's the kind of procrastination where you look busy but effectively nothing is getting seriously done, I believe most work could be easily condensed in 1-2h of serious laser-focus effort instead of spalming it over 8 hours of nothing, this is due to the faulty "more work == better results automatically" mentality
2) deciding what not to do from the start, avoid choice paralysis

A few questions:
1-I noticed that some images from the folders don't really load, not even the thumbnails. Anyone know why that is?
2-What's /fit/ consensus on OMAD? I tried it for 5 days and not eating less for so long was somewhat annoying since eating is the only pleasurable activity that I have in my life nowadays. But it was really convenient also, since I work a 9-5 and became less worried about meal prep. Another positive was that it became easier to both fall asleep and wake up for some reason

I also would like suggestions of non-meme calisthenics programs and/or resources.

Consider the worst case scenario: The target of these posts is not real and only serves to encourage irrelevant off-topic posts and analysis, such as this, to no valuable point. As always, young man, the best course of action is to hide the threads and do not engage with low effort shitposts of ANY kind. You'll catch more flies with honey.

I feel like I am becoming increasingly bitter in recent years. Everything is about sex now... EVERYTHING. I can't even talk to friends or family anymore without the topic ending in talking about sex. Just yesterday I had a fit and told my family they were brain dead retards because I said I had planned to travel to Spain alone this summer.
>DOES SPAIN HAVE A LOT OF WOMEN?
>IS THAT WHY YOU GO THERE?
>OH YOU PROBABLY GET A LOT OF PUSSY EVERY DAY
What is even more annoying is that even though I tried steering off the topic by talking about specific museums and history and such, all I get is
>What does that have to do with women, Anon? Why don't you just go to a bar?
It's so fucking cringe. I'm not even a virgin or anything. I have had girlfriends before that they have also met. My friends does the same shit
>Why not just hire an escort or go clubbing? I had sex with 4 women last time in Spain!!!!
Movies and TV shows have similar issues. Every show and movie has completely unnecessary sex scenes now. Music is all about sex. I had a friend literally try to fight me because I said Sabrina Carpenter had a nice voice but wasted it on her songs because of trashy lyrics. He literally used sex as a counter point to it.

Am I crazy or is this just how things are nowadays?

The conversations from your family would make sense if you were a virgin, single for a long time or just old enough for them to want you to have kids. The other things about your friends is cringy as fuck, especially the one fighting you. Movies and tv shows add sex scenes because it sells. I hate it too when they do it poorly, but I just skip it. How old are you btw? Your friends make it sound like you are very young.

I do consider this to be part of improvement, it can be categorized into hygiene, but anyone have advice on shaving body hair? I developed that trichomewhatever crusty armpit hair thing so I started having them and using peroxide every few days. But the hair grows back so fast. I thought my hair already grew fast, like I have a full 3/4ths inch of beard in 5-6 weeks. But the armpits I have 1/4th inch hair in a week. It’s crazy.

I also seem to sweat way more out of my forehead after having my pits? What gives? Was I sweating out of my armpits more due to the hair and now I sweat less but my body still wants to sweat?

Greetings everyone.

I have came back to this site after several months.
I just wanted to wish you all the best and tell you to stick to the process and in the end you will see the light.
Back in October I was a total bum, anti-social, no friends, no money, wagecuck, no prospect of gf, shit physique etc etc
In less than a year I have managed to turn all of these around, through persistence, attention and itterative improvement.

Never give up on your self. Trust the process.

I bring a friendly ear and am willing to help. Tell me your concerns.
>>
>>77199908
I’ve made it a habit to be brutally honest and communicate clearly whenever I feel I’m not being treated fairly. I thought that would lead to arguments, but so far it’s always worked out in my favor. Sometimes I'm a bit too confrontational now, but I'm finding the right balance.

Been working out for four years and learning Spanish for three, both on and off.

Haven't gone to a gym in a while but I have a super heavy band for pull exercises and have been using a deck of cards for pacing with pushups. Never did pushups as part of a strict regiment before November. Started that month with 150 in an hour and a half as a starting metric, no burnouts and strict form.

Now, I'm able to hit 30 pushups in a row, completed a full deck* (missing an ace) for 416. 300 of which came in 55 minutes, the rest broken into two separate workouts through the day.

I can do archer pushups now, a previous long-term goal. 10 per arm and alternating between.

I've also just finished up a section on Duolingo, now on my largest lesson block yet. Previous was 60, this has 250 sections. This will probably take me the remainder of the year, if not longer, to complete. By that time, I also hope to graduate to one-armed pushups.


Four years ago, I was 300+ and probably couldn't do a single pushup to save my life. I'm 32 now, planning on enlisting sometime soon as I gather documents. It's never too late, never give up on yourself and keep striving instead of being complacent.
>>
>>77202862
Explain this card push up business
>>
>>77203004
So, it's kind of simple. It's a standard deck with jokers included. Number cards correspond with their numbers, face cards are 10, aces are 15 and jokers are 20. Normally, a full stack like this is about 431 but I'm missing an ace.

It randomizes the pacing for you and, for me at least, it's an easy way to keep track of how many I've done. Now, I'll typically do them in blocks of 100-150 before taking about a 5 min rest, though typical downtime is about a min per card.

I have small variants within the game depending on how I feel, like tacking on cards 4 and below onto the next card or hitting diamond pushups for 5 or below on diamonds.
>>
>>77203004
>>77203085
This is an easy go to kid/group PT thing, too. I've never done it all the same exercise, always a suit represents a different movement. Or, if in a group environment, everyone circles up, take turns going through the circle selecting different calisthenics and the card designates the reps. Another version of that was the suit indicated a modifier (diamond - tempo/heart - iso hold for seconds [if applicable]/club - double reps/spade - all reps are 10).

I don't mind the sensation/exertion in working out but I hate how drained it makes me feel after.

Like, people always talk about how "energizing" lifting or running is but I just feel like crap after. I just want to take a hot bath, eat, then lay in bed lazing until the next day.
Is there even any fix to this? Most times I don't even feel like I'm going very hard in the gym but that energy drain just fucking sucks ass

Bros, I just did a pistol squat. It was kinda scuffed but the other leg didn't help. Did it with both legs just to make sure it wasn't a fluke.Could never do that before in my life. I'm kinda psyched about it.

>>77202847
go back to the base logic for it:
you are alive. therefore you don't quite want to be dead right now
if you are to keep going, you might as well live the most interesting life you can come up with
it doesn't matter who you were or what you did. nor what you think shall be, or your ideas of how things work
you can, right now, simply decide you are a different person. an ideal self. and live like that dude would
it doesn't matter if you don't feel like it right now or how you can't enjoy or find sense on anything. decide you do. now
live as if you did. take the bullshit out. work on your mind to actually feel it (eventually)
nothing stops you from suddenly changing and living like you want, or like that super-man you think you should become does. nothing forces you to stay like that, care about your feelings, care about being sad or hollow or anything
it's all you
decide and live like you have control and take the decisions, because it's simply the truth

just get creative if you can't seem to do it as is
Just like some find they get motivation larping as cartoon characters, or thinking of lifting cars off their mom helps them lift more weight, find what makes you stop being a bitch
maybe it's doing a solid for yourself thinking about you in third person, rather than (You)
If "you" had done that for you before, you'd be doing better, right? So help a nigga out
you hate (you) but that's because your mind is fucked. So? cheat and hack your mind
MMORPG larping works for some. Others use heroes of myth. some try doing stuff for their future kids or helping their community by being at their best to begin with

You don't need to think and behave as you do/are used to or how you think stuff works. You don't hate yourself but what you do, feel, did, fears, weakness, shortcomings, etc. Put two and two together and figure out your own shit
I suggest drinking from philos that take the seriousness and ego-individual mindset out of living, like Daoism and Zen Buddhism

thank you friend
>routine
recently its all bodyweight. did variations building up to it like close squats, 1 leg assist, and also kettlebell swings. I’ve been losing a little weight too just cause I’ve been getting a bit too high in bf%. I’ve found that exercising at home I’m able to keep myself more accountable, just personal preference you can definitely go to the gym and probably see faster leg gains.
>how long I been struggling
hard to answer. I started getting /fit/ around 5 years ago but its been on and off. some years I’ll be dedicated and keep a routine, some I’ll get depressed for a while and lose progress. I’ve been putting in serious effort for about a month, less serious effort a few months before that. but I never started from truly zero.

>a fullstack web development curriculum which is mostly project-based
Webdevs are notoriously burnt-out and grumpy, it's honestly not the best programming job to have nowadays. Also seems to be oversaturated. So unless you decide to start your own agency, I'd advice to get into deeper programming languages.
>>77202847
>when you hate yourself
When these feelings creep in, go to bed, don't ruminate. I get it mostly at night when tired because tiredness = emotional = less defenses. Build towards being someone you don't hate. Also get off socials and other apps where you get shoveled people whom to compare to, it'll fuck you up mentally.

ADHD/bad sleeper here (not American, not a 'frresh' diagnoses, so let's not even start). Went to a sleep therapist and she basically told me to go to sleep LATER. I now sleep 1 am -> 8 am instead of trying to force 8 hours of sleep. See it as a piece of gum > The more you stretch it, the worse the structure. If I go early to 'rest' I sleep like shit and end up more tired. Give it a try.

This year I quit weed after 10 years (6 months sober), quit cigarettes after 15 years (3 months cigarette-free):, I work out 5 days a week, started doing cardio consistently, eat clean, reduced drinking by a lot, i have a stable and happy relationship with a girl since one year. But I most times feel empty and I end up watching youtube and reading bullshit on /pol/. Especially after work I feel so empty and sad I almost feel paralyzed. I have some skills I'd like to learn, like speaking greek and studying for OT cybersecurity certs, but each time I feel so mentally blocked to just sit down and study like at 9 pm. I know I just need to go nuclear but it's way harder than just quit smoking weed and cigarettes cold turkey.

Nice. I am working towards this right now, mostly having issues with keeping the off-leg pointed out.

Sales niggers in general are scummy but there is a hierarchy. Tech and med equipment sales are high tier, car and realtor sales are mid, insurance of any kind is low (health, pet, roof, etc). You think an AI will do it for you. In reality, you are going to go to 50 businesses in 1 day, cold call 200, and maybe get 5 semi-interested. Maybe 10 or 15 if you're a /fit/ Chad that can socialize. You on a stimulant of some kind? You're gonna be. There's 2 real methods of sales which is to be blunt, to the point and hope the customer is smart enough to understand or sell them what they want to hear and pray they never have any real problems. I'd like to say I'm wrong and hope you prove me wrong but I guarantee within a year you'll say fuck this shit and leave.

I quit on the 26th of january after 15 years of smoking. First week was kind of hard, cold exposure helped a lot. Also instead of cigarettes I started having broccoli and cauliflower salad with lots of olive oil and vinegar whenever i felt like smoking, idk why but it helped me cope massively. Now I don't even think about cigarettes anymore. But after 6 months I still miss weed

The easiest, but slowest way?

Go for a 30 minute walk first thing in the morning before you eat, and cut out junk food. Do it every day.

The more challenging, faster way? Start a cardio RTN and cut out junk food. I like couch-to-5k, it changed my life.

Everything else in my life has taken a back seat to working out. Lifting is fun, easy, addictive, makes me feel great and I never have to force myself to workout, I just want to. At the same time it feels like everything else in my life is more difficult than ever, and I find I'm unable to do it without really severe distractions and procrastinating.

How can I curb this? I have so little motivation for My other hobbies, socialising and studying to the point that I'm considering dropping out.

>>77214210
Blud I've smoked and snussed with occasional but never habitual vaping and managed to quit them all relatively easily, recently decided to stop drinking and bought a pack of snus to get me through the night. Is it worth it to try avoid drinking or should I kick it for good after this pack?
>>
>>77214223
Never really been a heavy drinker so I can't say for sure, but nicotine itself is already a bit of an insidious addiction (very habit forming, long-term consequences means it's easy to lie to yourself in the short-term) and snus is arguably even worse because it's relatively (emphasis on relatively) healthy in comparison to other nicotine intake methods (no links to cancer, other health issues still present, but less severely than smoking).
Personally, I would very easily take nicotine over booze, but the lesser of two evils is still evil.

I always thought I was weird and different and I wanted to find out what's wrong with me and get cured.

This whole "if I find out what's wrong with me I might be able to fix it" thing is obsessive and detrimental.

My grandfather never had any hair, even in his orime, but he was a chad and could pull it off. My skull figure is not optimal for baldness. I took Finasteride and I got headaches. I still use the Ketozol-Mepha/Ketoconazolum shampoo but I'm not sure it's really working. Next I'll try Monoxil or something and Dutasteride. But I gotta find a dealer because I can't be fucking bothered to oay a cunt doctor every time for some shitty prescription.

I am still fat as fuck. 200+ at 5"5' is tragic. I've started a low carb diet since I can't go full keto, restricting heavily on carbs and eliminating sweets and pop entirely. I've already noticed a change in appetite only four days in, get noticiably fuller off smaller portions and don't have any headaches or flu-like symptoms I'd usually associate with keto.

Still working out without issue, haven't completed a full deck since I've started but I did over 25 archer pushups, 14 diamonds, 39 regular pushups and 30 dips. If those numbers sound off or funky, I use a deck of cards for randomization and pacing. Its a push day anyways, so I was going to aim to complete a full deck today.

Start working on loving yourself.
If someone talked to you, the way you talk to yourself, you’d kick their ass.

You can’t do your work if you are getting your butt kicked, even if you are the one doing the kicking.

Do you want actual advice that works? It’s super gay, but it’s scientific and does work if you do it.

Every day (first thing in the morning is best) write down 5 things you are grateful for. It can be your family, your favorite shirt, etc.

Do it for 30 days. It’ll change your life.

I've been having the same thoughts recently aas well bro. An the whole "self-love" thing isnt the thing. It like stoicism, where it sounds good in theory, but in practice it is empty.

I dont really know what that means, or what the details are, or how it is to be practiced, but I think there may be something in it. Just be heroic.

>>77205352
Actual advice? Go schizo mode and tell the voice to shut up, or (even better) tell them shut up and then tell them all the great shit you have done.

It’s sounds crazy, but it’ll work, like “shut the fuck up voice! I don’t who the hell is talking shit to me, but stop, it’s not true, I’m actually funny, and I got my homework done today” etc.

Eventually the voices will stop

I’ve got almost everything (back) in order. I’ve kicked most of my bad habits, developed good ones, and have great routines. The only two things that bother me: I still dread going to work, and when I get home from work, I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck. In general, I feel like, even though my sleep and diet are fine, I don’t recover properly, and I never seem to adapt to physical stress either. I only walk about 15,000 steps at work. It’s physical labor, but not long or hard, and when I come home, my legs are sore. I wake up the next day, they feel heavy and my energy feels drained, but I’ve been doing this for the past 6 years and every day it feels the same. Why hasn’t it ever become my baseline? And every day I think about how work sucks, but in reality it’s really not bad, I’d just rather do a lot of other different things instead.

Kind of depends whether you notice a difference in your breathing and sleep quality. For me, it improved nose breathing in my sleep which reduced snoring and sleep apnea significantly. I wouldn't expect miracles unless you really focus on breathing though (which you should!). I'm mostly in the same boat, I just try to keep both the booze and the cigs limited to the weekend.

It's over as soon as you turn 18 and leave the school system without a well established social circle. You go to work, but you won't make any friends, just coworkers. You join a sports club, same deal. It's over, because everyone already has their social circles locked in since childhood. You'll be nothing more than a coworker, destined to be alone for life. Social life and relationships are like trains you have to catch at the quay, a race against time that takes place during adolescence. And by extension, logically of course, no social life and no women.
But normies don't understand this because they are clueless normies who think you can walk into a bar full of strangers and magically form a social life like in The Sims. Only women can start from scratch and create a social life and get a boyfriend from scratch because of their status as women.

Whether you're 41 or not it doesn't change anything, maybe for the normies, but for you and me Chud, a year is like any other, the sands of time flowing towards nothingness, nothing more.. nothing less.

Nta
The most effective way to lose weight is to deplete your glycogen reserves, let 'em build up thanks to gluconeogenesis and do it all over again, as many times as you can, daily
In layman's terms, many daily short full body workouts and eat less. OMAD is full efficiency but if you find yourself unable to fall asleep at night or feeling fainty during the day, try two meals
Using this retarded but effective cutting method can yield ~1,5-2 Kg pure fat loss per week while being very healthy, too
The first couple of weeks will be the hardest but your body will get so good at gluconeogenesis over time that you won't get fainty at all. The key is to keep yourself moving as much as possible in order to avoid tanking your metabolism due to low calorie intake

Hedonic treadmill and desensitisation to porn through dead bedroom in final years of marriage, then your standard feelings of hypersexuality during the divorce with my ex.

Bro i feel you, i did overtime at work for 9months straight, was highly stressed for last 3 years at least
I got addicted to smoking, weed was already a drinker but i never did it alone before this
Also i couldnt sleep jackshit while sober, panic attacks thoughts running in my head 24/7, weed/drinking calmed me down and helped me perform during the day
6 months ago weed finally fked me so i had to quit
Then i drank 4-5days a week until finally now i cut back to 1-2/week
You are doing way better but i also have these mental blocks when sober for longer periods,

Get a better job.

While you are waiting, use the situations well. If you are at hotels in new cities and so on - go out and socialize and explore the cities. Go to pubs, go eat out.

And there are hobbies you can do remove. Online DnD, games and such with friends.

But getting a better job so you don't to be away from home all the time. But time you find for everything if you look enough and not spend time on movies, tv, facebook and shit like that

>dead-hang from 10sec to 42sec
And plenty more.

If you're a fat cunt like me then all I did was simple:
"Holy shit my life is absolute ass"
Then get up a shitty notepad on your PC (since you use it all day anyway) then type in 5 simple exercises you'll do that day, no reps or anything just do them as hard as you can, that is now your working set, the next day do the same thing, 5 exercises no reps until failure, that's your working set. (Keep this up for the whole week, I do from Mon-Sun, leg->arm->core->obliques->balance->random bullshit->rest)
Calorie counting is obvious so I wont go into that but get your TDEE (mine was 3000 without exercise up to 3600 with new routine), choose the lower estimate then eat 400 calories less, that way you're either in a 400 cal deficit or 1000 cal.

Naturally none of that matters without discipline but give it a try. I'll keep this up until I die, progressively making the exercises harder each week.

Just for reference, I'm 192cm (6'3).

I worked on my resume last night. I'm going to send, let's say at least 3 applications in today. I have sunday off. I usually work most days. I worked 80 hours last week. This week it might be worse.

Money's good but my hourly rate is just okay, I'm just working so much to get the money I do and it's not up to me whether or not I work overtime, I just have to.

I have explored some places, and that was nice.

Also, last night I typed and then deleted a post in reply to myself trying to help myself as if I were just another person. Here's what I figured out from that little exercise:

>keep in touch with friends on the phone, reach out to people you've lost contact with
>focus on hobbies that can be done during travel i.e. small sketching set in your bag, computer stuff, photography while traveling
>use this period in life to try meditating
>look for one-off classes for fun things wherever you go and have a bit of time

i set a goal to myself this year to finaly lose weight and gain muscle. i started the year at 105 kg and im now at 92 kg.I have 70 kg lean body mass and 175 cm.
I read that the best way to gain muscle is to bulk/ cut, and that muscle training on a severe caloric deficit like i have right now ( 1k calories) is very inneficient. Right now the only training i do is cardio/swimming for fat loss.

Question is, if my goal is to achieve lean body mass, when is the best moment to start bulking/training? should i do it right now despite caloric deficit? should i wait till i lose all my excess fat? or should i leave some fat as a buffer before starting to go into bulk mode?
>>
>>77227651
At 1k calories you're probably losing some lean mass alongside your fat because of how aggressive the cut is
My advice? Get to like 15% body fat to begin bulking. Until then try and preserve your current muscle and aim for a recomp by eating enough protein while establishing a reliable workout routine

>everything men do is for pussy
There are so many people on the on self improvement train the past two decades it's unreal, and I'm not talking about gym because many of them don't even hit the gym but instead do other activities, I'm talking about making money, being social, doing activities, hobbies, just keeping busy in general and making their life as interesting as possible to attract pussy. They are doing all that for pussy, constantly chasing a better looking pussy, younger, fresher, etc. until eventually they find one they are satisfied with so they can fertilize it but even then many of them continue to chase pussy on the side. Some of these boomers are 70+ and still chase pussy, that's right many divorced boomers have girlfriends, just look at that tremendous Eastwood faggot who found a new pussy at 70 or 80 and married for the 6th time. Not to mention famous chads like Julio Iglesias who had thousands of pussies throughout his life.
All that self-improvement, customs, social mores, hobbies, cultural events and other activities people do is to attract pussy so they can breed the next generation of goyim cattle and feel desired, loved and appreciated by their pussy and progeny.

I have enough savings and withdrawable investments that I could have no job and live where I used to live for over a year but it would require withdrawing from my retirement/early retirement funds which I would rather not do.

I've considered quitting and looking. I'm afraid I won't be able to find anything better within a reasonable timeframe. I studied engineering.

As much as it sucks I'm considering just working myself to the bone for the next few months to build up just a bunch of cash in case I want to quit and the whole time I'll be looking elsewhere. That way, even if I don't find something else, I have the option to quit and live for a while without a job without pulling from my long term accounts

>>77226097
VERY hard to get out of this situation by yourself, you need a kickstart of some kind. But the good part is you need only just enough motivation to start a process and it can then do the work for you. When I was younger I got a job as a waiter. Signed up on a day when I had a bit of motivation, and then I got the job and it forced me to do things. I ended up making good money, lots of friends, and I had a great time. And it made me way less awkward, since I had to talk to people all the time. It was one of the best decisions I'd made. Something like that can help you.

How do I redirect myself away from distraction and towards hobbies? I want to work on my passions, but I keep finding myself wasting hours on nothing.
>>
>>77228981
This is obvious and something you should have figured out yourself, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Get off all your screens, no computer, no phone, no TV, no fuckin Gamecube nothing. That shit is the ultimate distraction and you'll find yourself blankly staring at the screen and that's only if you're not scrolling shorts day by day.
You don't need to cold turkey, just have a timeslot or certain amount of time you can be online. I limit myself to 4 hours and after a few months I now willingly only spend about an hour every few days because there is almost no reason to be on the computer unless you have to work on one.

Beyond that, go and actually work on it.
If you're distracted by something then stop yourself from watching it or wanking, whatever the fuck you're doing and instead go do your passion.
You'll hate it at first and think "Man this is boring as fuck" but eventually you'll begin to enjoy it more than staring at Youtube shorts and you'll start spending more time on the hobby, it all starts from one first step then from there it's all discipline.

TL;DR, fuck you read it all, anyway, limit your screen time!
