I feel like uncs have literally nothing to teach us, like literally none of their advice actually applies beyond basics such as taking care of yourself and your body, applying yourself if you want to get anywhere and maybe trying to learn something useful instead of rotting and wasting time away on the Tibetan Wood Painting forum and staring at irrelevant random shit online that you will forget the next day.
Did uncs live through the inception of the mindrape prison (internet) in a capitalist dystopia with looming full automation of the workforce which will be the last industrial revolution that sees any human workers without any new jobs created to reduce the number of displaced wagies?
Or maybe uncs experienced the age of the screeching foid with #metoo, cancel culture, age gap obsession, and all that other insane shit that people have been losing their minds over?
Or I don't know, maybe uncs somehow lived through a period when every industry imaginable decided to make their products gay, lame and overpriced?
I'm not even blackpilled myself and don't associate with incels and all that internet shit and ultimately I think anyone can potentially make it if they try, but you also have to be some kind of ignorant retard to fail to recognize that things are simply not turning for the better. Humanity obviously lived through much worse shit than that but you can't really compare some peasant dying from some incurable disease at 30 centuries ago and modern life simply because multiple generations got accostumed to the benefits and lifestyle of modern society.

Younger people simply aren't aware of how quickly things can change for the better or for the worse. They compare their current situation to that of someone who's maybe ten years older and has "made it" (whatever that means for them), but they don't ask how that person got there. They simply assume that everything in that person's life has always gone their way and that they've been on a steady upward trajectory. They think "Oh, that person has always been like that, which is why they made it and I can't do that". Sure, there are some cases like that, but often enough, these people were in the same situation, facing the same struggles, until there was a pivotal moment that changed everything, whether in their professional or personal lives. If you meet the woman of your dreams this year, you might be married in two years and have a child on the way. Maybe you'll have a different job in a different city. Just two years in which pretty much everything has changed for you. Sometimes nothing happens for a long time, and then everything happens very quickly. You should never assume that everything will always stay the way it is unless you’re actively sabotaging yourself to keep things that way.

I relate to this so much. Recently turned 30. At 24 I left an abusive household and used what little money I had to rent. In the same year I got a beautiful and dedicated girlfriend, found a job, climbed in every way I could.

Few years later (covid) all that vanished before my eyes, I was too weak to hold on to the things I held dear. Now currently rebuilding life. Have my own apartment, a job, and about to finish a lucrative degree.

Life can make u-turns anons. Work hard when you’re still comfortable so that when you get hit with something ugly, you have something to lean on.

We lived through plenty of shit as well. Most of our retard parents willingly got us circumcisized for fucks sake, and we lived through peak jewish psyop era. Most of you gen Z and younger have levels of awareness that are really uplifting and hopeful (from uncs' perspective), mostly thanks to the internet. You might feel like you're surrounded by brainwashed retards everywhere but it used to be a lot worse.
Your awareness of the problems will be a huge advantage so you can avoid the traps we fell into.

Since this is supposed to be about lifting my advice is to enjoy your peak physical form in your late 20s, and get ready for joint pain in 30s. If you want kids, better to have them in 20s so you can give them more of your energy. Stop jacking off; will allow you to handle minimal sleep with no negative impact.

>>77513082
don't skip two days of workouts ever, just do some bullshit for 15-20 minutes if you're swamped, it's at least enough to keep streaks of continuous time in training...like it literally shouldn't take you more than 15 minutes total to commit to, prepare for, and run a mile or mile and back in your neighbourhood. obv same goes for rowers, exercise biking, treadmill, etc etc. coach john wooden/dean smith (best all time in basketball) say to "make each and every day your masterpiece"

keep refreshing your field knowledge in anything you've found interesting in the past every few weeks, breakthrough stuff just kinda happens when you don't expect it to. in my case it looks like linking things that seemed disparate in my mind

learn to play a few instruments, like ideally something that gives you limb independence like drums and one that lets you use your fingers/mouth with a lot of skill. ideally in pairs or trios or larger even. i chose bass guitar and synthesizers but anything works

and i think most importantly give others a lot of runway to improve at things, encourage people around you to fulfil their potential in whatever they have a predilection for

Yeah I'll help mate. So im a striver, personally i think there is no substitute for hard work and you either have it or you dont, and you will always differentiate yourself once you get the job for that reason.

On to getting the job. There's a reason 75% of internal candidates get hired for the job, and its because there is no awkward getting to know you phase, and lets be honest we can all be awkward at first. Otherwise be bold and confident, lie about the immensity of your impacts and accolades cause rarely do people check, and always find a way to bring their goals back to your strengths. Mostly importantly come with 5 thoughtful questions, it's a fucking buyers market and they know it, but you want to create the impression that youre interviewing them to and have thought about having a future there. It's also about 25% just getting lucky being in the right place at the right time.

Tendon isometrics can fix & prevent injuries plus make you stronger with no equipment and minimal effort. You should be doing them.

Sleep is the most important thing for gains.
Teeth health is super important. Stops a lot of sinus infections and other shit. Even stopped my acid reflux.
Green tea is extremely good for you. Drink it two or three times a week for your kidneys / liver.
Cooking your own food saves tons of money. Way too many younger people I know only doordash stuff and get ripped off. Besides, cooking is the easiest way to impress a bitch you're trying to fuck.

you barely remember when you tried something and failed. five, ten years later it's barely a memory, and if you do remember it, you laugh about it when you tell someone the story. you laugh at how young and naive you were or just how unprepared you were for what was coming. but it feels good that you did it at all. these are the stories you tell people you meet. you commiserate over how a job fell through or a car broke down or how you bought girls drinks

you do regret things you didn't do though, chances you didn't take, opportunities you had and didn't go for. these eat at you and there's nothing worse. nothing feels worse than the window on something closing.

there's a peace you find over knowing you tried and couldn't, and a terrible chaos that you feel over knowing you didn't, and could have.

you really do just have to do stuff

>>77515639
This. Absolutely.

>>77515156
I hate to say this because if you're not built for it, then it's a life of misery: it's a zero sum game. Find someone who is higher up than you and take their job. Past a point positions are taken, not given. Also, it has to be somewhat known you are not done yet and still looking to climb.

There is going to be some weak link somewhere. You will need to be able to predict when their fuckup is coming so you can present yourself as a better and safer option with a plan ready for execution *right now*.

On one hand these human vs human struggles are depressing and painful. On the other hand, that's what these people signed up for. Being the one person who actually says
>Yeah... Actually, I don't think this was handled correctly, at all.
is a lonely place to be unless literally all there is is the fight.

In your case you might need to attempt to start your own business. Even if it fails after a year, you were still CEO of something for a year. I have to say it's a lonely life literally everything in your life will be seen transactionally for a while.

Best, most solid advice. So many younger people (like 13-25ish, let’s say) let one mistake shellshock them into giving up for good, when they probably would’ve succeeded if they’d kept working at whatever it was. I remember being so afraid of girls rejecting me when I was 15; thankfully my dad reasoned to me how that was a stupid mindset and how regrets are way worse than failures, usually.

I'm married with kids and can hit 2.75/3+/4+ most days still
My lifting advice is that your natty potential is only limited by how heavy you lift, how much real food you eat and how much liss cardio you do assuming you hit all the big lifts heavy at volume at frequency and don't drink alcohol or abuse weed

My life advice is to stop gaming all together
Any form of escapism hurts your test production and also hurts your personal growth as a person
Learn to sit in silence for 20+ minutes a day, get an outdoor hobby, learn how to create something useful and live your life IRL

as a former NEET for 5-6 years and shut-in loser ever since I was born, if you're struggling with internet/vidya addiction or inaction this is the only piece of advice I can give
the best thing you can do to solve your problem is to, somehow (I don't know what could work for you, you must figure that out), provoke in yourself an impending sense of total doom, as in 100% believing you are going to die if you don't do something about it

you must get rid of allowances, you absolutely must get rid of computers, phones, anything that could give you endless entertainment, nothing short of getting that shit out of your home will work

this is the only way I was able to escape NEETdom

Ironically, the best advice he gave me, which would help many anons itt, is to ignore most advice because most people have no business giving it out.

You can hear what others have to say, but don’t weight it too much, like >>77515776 said.

>>77515682
interesting. makes sense. i suppose it all boils down to how much you're willing to give for what you can gain out of it.
i would consider myself fairly driven when it comes to work. i know i work more than my peers and handle bigger and more complex projects than my peers. at the same time, i wonder if the juice is worth the squeeze. like will i be happier making X amount but living with more stress and less free time for my hobbies and partner?
i used to work 50-60h per week since i would work on several projects at the same time, where in one of them i would be the lead role vs just a supporting role, but now that im just working as the lead on a single large project, i find that i have more free time to engage with life outside of work which really increased my QoL. perhaps working less will lead to making less (i do get paid on an hourly rate), but if im happier, why change it you know?

Things can also get fucked really fast. I got laid 5 times in 2019. Could have pursued something more serious with one of them but I thought my "winning streak" would continue just the same.Then covid came, I got banned from tinder and I've gotten laid 2 times since then. In 7 years.

My AI stocks also soared from 53k to 93k in 2 months. I got a 15k investment loan at 4,5% at the literally top and and now my stocks are worth 57k

i didnt make it until 36 after i broke down and started getting in shape and going out to meet people.
get a hobby (anything where you meet people), eat healthy (fiber and protein is key) and get some muscle (shoulders [front, rear and side delts], biceps, tripceps and forearms are biggest attraction for women), it will boost your confidence like crazy.
dont bother with tinder, go out and meet new people that know girls, that's how i met my SO. my ex i met on tinder is fucking crazy.
also, try to have the mindset that you're already content (just looking for friends) so you dont come across as needy or creepy.
once you start lifting weights, consider some natural supplements to boost your testosterone, alertness and mood a little like tongkat, fadogia, maca, barrenwort, tribulus, ashwaganda plus high dose vitamin D, B (1-12), K2 (MK7), zink, magnesium, iron, boron.
wake up relatively early and go out and catch some sun without glasses. just walking briskly is enough in the beginning. dont try running or jogging until you lose weight if you're a fatass like me, you'll bust your knees if you do that.
cut your calory intake in half, cut sugar and try to cut as much diet soda is you can.
have 1 cheat day per week but dont overdo it.
try intermittent fasting for 12-24 hours and have a window of about 6h where you eat helps your body turn to burning fat, flush toxins and renew cells.
i felt a bit sick from hunger in the beginning wheni fasted but after a short time it went away.
but key is meeting people and not being a fucking creepy social retard.

I mean yes, we quite literally all saw it go to shit when we were your age. That's what it was like being in your 20s in the 2010s, knowing that the last train was leaving the station and learning to adapt with missing it.

>Man, I'm feeling tired every week. Am I sick?
No fatfuck. It's the slop you eat and the diabetes coffee you slurp. Women especially are fucking terrible about this and an immediate red flag for me is if she chugs the Artery Clogger 9000 on the regular.

I'm about to turn 30. If there's anything I could tell my younger self its to love yourself. Realize that you inhabit your body for a finite speck of time, and that you've been given a gift and that gift is existence.

Don't waste the gift you've been given. Treat your body with respect. Appreciate the good things about yourself. Once you realize, appreciate, and love yourself it makes it easier to share yourself with others, especially women.

If you're a cry baby, woe-is-me faggot who complains about their life, and if you are a person who is always comparing yourself to others, coveting others lives/experiences, and acting like a jealous, resentful prick then no one is going to want to hang out or be around you.

A few lifestyle things....

-dental health; brush x2, floss and use a mouthwash every.fucking.day.
-read; it can be literally anything, fiction, nonfiction, scifi, expose yourself to ideas/perspectives that aren't your own.
-be active (this is a given) and if you exclusively lift do some form of cardio, even extended walks 2 times a week
-also stretch, foam roll, yoga, or even qigong once a week minimum.
-I have really been enjoying meditation recently, it helps clear the bullshit from your mind and makes you more aware of your body
-don't eat like shit, but don't rule your body like a prison, treat yourself once in a blue moon.

Literally yes. Those of us born in the 80s-early 90s lived our youth in the last vestiges of "normal" society.

Before the 4th industrial revolution and its social media, smart phones and AI.

Before 9/11 and the scamdemic

Before a basic starter house became unaffordable for all working and middle class people

Before the relationships between men and women plummetted to the current all time low.

Before the onmipresence of trannies and faggotry

Before the invasion of shitskins into western nations.

Basically we grew up or hit adolescence before the jews implemented their endgame for White western society, we are the only generation to see the before times but have had to adapt completely to the 2020s for work, starting a family etc.
