Finally got me a 50lb dumbbell for some actual weight training, I was cool with doing pushups but I feel like there's limits to what one can gain from that.
This wasn't the best idea perhaps, it's lookin like me doing hammer curls with both hands and just the one weight until I can handle a bit more with one arm? And trying not to bop my balls when I bring that shit down lmao

>>314101
>CoC is really good for grip training

Thanks I decided to buy it, the No. 1 resistance version.
I like that it has metal knurled handles, seems high quality. Hopefully it'll help build up some calluses. The gripper and dumbbells I have now are rubber handles which are a little too soft on the hands.

>>314232
Nice. Dumbbells are super versatile. You can use them for all kinds of exercises like leg squats, ab crunches, etc… not just for your arms.

>>314251
Well met. I just got back from the gym. Hit 4 sets of 6x120lb tricep pushdowns, 10x10x250lb shrugs, and a bunch of 100lb barbell curls to failure in between. I'm too too heavy to do a pullup (my bones are made of depleted uranium) but I can hang for 30 seconds and growing

>>314250
I was planning to do some squats with it too, just did but had to wait until my upper body felt way less cooked :3
And also did a lot of [that flank workout where you lean to one side with the weight and pull back up to the starting position fuck I wish I could remember what that was called]. feels good man

My gym's Precor leg press sled is 136lb on 45° rails. Added 400lb of plates for a total 536lb. 45° incline detracts 30% of 536 for 375. That means I can SINGLE calf raise 375 at full range for 10+ reps with no noticeable fatigue. I will try to hit doubles of 850, but after incline deduction that would push the max load of the machine… I am not going to quad press that weight because I will literally shit my guts out.

Here's a kawaii wolfsuccubus

Reading through the 1st one.
It's interesting.
As a amateur gamedev it seems silly to me to make an artbook for a nonexistent game instead of just making the game because the hardest part about making a videogame these days is the art assets.
I could easily see this being like Kings Field/Lunacid moreso than a Soulslike

>>314274
as soulslikes are in fashion, so I will see the game as a soulslike haha.
>as a amateur gamedev
what game are you working on?

>>314276
open world roguelike
I haven't touched it in months, I lost motivation

>>314303
looks like you need a lot of work to do it, how much time did it take to make this (actual progress)?

>>314309
I took me a few months, but that is because I effectively enginedevved and nearly everything is my own code.
If it was done in Unity, Unreal, or Godot it wouldn't have taken nearly as long.

Anyone here regularly train with gymnastics rings?

Why even give this traitorous, degenerate attention-whore any attention?

>>314294
that's a past wizchan admin, show some respect

>>314294
Why give him attention? Why call him a gutless dogfucker? Because he is, and his actions continue to afflict the internet as a whole. It's important to keep tabs on people like him and to laugh at such an abomination's expense. He continues to do evil unto us so we shall make sport of him. Believe it or not, but Freddy is a 100% normal person (at least the brain part) so it's not likely he's beating his little midge meat to our words of hatred.

I assure you that on a board filled by adult men, your train of thought is alien. Asking (and Sageing no less) why we give something we dislike any attention is no different than a gypsy succubus mumbling a "just chill, no bad vibes allowed" mantra.

>>314295
>past
Well, as of May…

>>314296
I don't know why you're so unpleasant and rude

crypto leeches are the lowest of the low. I have no respect for you or anyone else who lives off of collecting financial arbitrage.

My only complain about mods its because they are now allowing crabs to post

>>310626
Teach people how to fish, instead of giving them fish.
I think that it would be better if you posted videos and free courses which explain the logic and economic theory behind your calculations. Or just general economic functions literacy.
I know it's realistically even more impossible but at least you'd have a chance to actually hwlp a couple of wizzies out not just with ETH but generally understanding investment.

OP just won the cassino, nothing more or less

after a while of putting effort into maintaining a positive habit, it no longer requires the effort. it just becomes normality. everything becomes effortless and quick and suddenly there is space to do other things.

in the beginning making a big change costs willpower, a short duration of climbing up a hill. the hill is never as big as it seems though. after walking up this hill carefully, making small steps, the top is reached and after that it goes downhill and everything becomes easy.

the willpower only needs to be summoned in the beginning. i keep wondering if most people's perception of willpower is just wrong. they think of it as a genetic attribute. an adjective that you are either born with or not. that's idiocy to me, all willpower is keeping a thought in your head. thinking it often. thinking about it, imagining it. that's all it is. achieving something is thinking about it for one minute today and for two minutes tomorrow. it's a verb, it's an action, it's a skill and the more you do it the better you get at it.

every time i completed something using willpower i am left with the same feeling: this was easy, i thought it might be difficult but it turned out it wasn't, had i known how easy it would have been i would not have procrastinated it for so long. complete a few things that way and you are already deep into using your potential and everything seems like it is easy and possible. that's how a positive upward spiral that can lift a person out of depression/ nihilism can begin. just by holding the thought.

i already eat healthy but recently i put a bit more effort in and bothered to get stuff i believe is even better for me and stopped eating a snack here and there once in a while. my father wanted to buy me dinner in an indian restaurant today and i tricked him. i said "sure come over at 11 and then later we can go eat there" and instead of having him buy me cooked dinner in a restaurant, i made a big ass salad with this increadible sauce from sesame paste and raw tomato. been feeling good the last few days, i know i am over the hill now and maintaining eating like this and rejecting all sinful food will be easy now.

time is the only currency. there are other currencies that pretend to be the currency but they are not the currency.

>>313559

time is not money

one thing (which arrogantly insists on being called currency) decides how big and luxurious your bedroom is or how shiny and new your vehicle is. it can be measured in pieces of paper, or variables in a computer. mostly just bytes on a memory.

the other thing (which humbly doesn't advertise for itself) decides whether you will be here tomorrow.

one can be easily regulated, manipulated and stored.

the other one is just and righteous, it is distributed to everyone fairly. similar to the sun who shines on everybody unconditionally. it is so perishable that it can never be stored. it can only be used fresh.

through the theater of 'work' one (the fake one) exists as a desperate attempt of those who don't have the other, to trick people out of their fair share of the other.

money is just a complicated, cruel, deceitful method of holding other people's time hostage.

don't be tricked into giving your fair share away. you can not hold it, only slightly bend it in your favor. keep it and use it while you have it.

if the two of you were both *really* as satisfied with your respective lives as you claim, there would be no need to come on here and defend your choices, much less belittle the life paths of others.

>>313668

don't lump me in with someone who may as well put on a vr-headset and stay in virtual reality all day while real reality happens without him. just cut off your body, have your brain be kept in a glass filled with glowing fluid, attach it to usb and keep it alive so you can watch videos in your head.

if you don't think this should be belittled then you defend it, what's so great about a life based on illusion and without substance?. i'm just over here belitteling the concept of illusion and entertainment while you come up with something of substance, in the meantime (assuming you too can not come up with anything that justifies this life) i look down on you.

>>313683
>you are literally mentally ill lmfao

that's not a lot you have to say for yourself. just some canned, generic, uncreative response that could have applied to just any thread.

you know the penguin holding the tray? here you probably love that meme and you can use it in any situation because that's all you ever have to say. you're just a machine.

i like the trope of Pinocchio. just some liar who finally understands being a liar sucks and then once he stops lying, he becomes real.

>>313689
then why don't you point out what is mentally ill? probably because you can't.

>>313537
I hope not. Look what happened to 4chan. I just want to have this

If i was living some fulfilling normie life i honestly don't think i'd bother shitting on wiz's with such venom. They'll laugh and tell you "LOL, IT TAKES NO TIME OR EFFORT TO SHIT ON YOU!", but it seems like such an odd thing to do if you're genuinely happy with your station in life. I guess modern life has reduced everyone to an online schizo and all that's left to do is signal to everyone how totally above it you are.

>>313600
>Look what happened to 4chan. I just want to have this
wait, you want the same thing to happen to wizchan?

>>313610
No sir. I just want to have wizchan be free from the riffraff

>>313609
The internet is just the facilitator. In reality most people were such demons thousands of years before the internet existed.

People are just vile and disgusting.

>>305078
They're like a pet that can ruin your life and has the whole legal system on their side. On top of that they're chronic liars and cheaters. I don't understand why normalfags chase after them. The only difference between a female and a demon is that demons are much nicer.

>>305077
A coomer's future always looks bleak. You could at least try edging or SR but like no damn way, so there is your life force going literally down the drain.

>>312287
>I remember years ago discussing with a neurotypical friend our 'ideal' partners. Some stuff I said were shared niche interests, being able to discuss things deeply, reserved and loyal etc. He just looked at me and said "Dude you're not looking for a girlfriend, you're looking for a bro you can fuck".
He was spot on when he said that.
What you described is definitely not something a succubus can offer and it sounds more like a buddy or roommate. succubi and relationships like that only exist in anime.

You came to the right conclusion as you chose to not be a nice guy weirdo and instead disregard females as any self-respecting man would. If you can notice a hostility in their expressions and remarks you are most likely right about that as well because that's how they act.

>>305077
> If I were gay (and this thought keeps echoing in my mind for some while now), things would be so much easier
you will most likely be on some medication, have mental disorders, and be a sexhaver with a high body count, if you were gay.

>>312322
There are some succubi like that but they are usually fat and a bit masculine, i. e. the polar opposite of the ideal most men go for.

They are basically just guys who happen to have female private parts.

>>309826
think of it as less bullcrap, and more connecting the dots for them. they are looking for A, B, and C characteristics to do job X, Y, and Z. Oh, and it just so happens you're the person for the job, because you have A, B, and C qualifications and can do X, Y, an Z jobs. obviously this is all very generic advice, and the truly best advice is to mold yourself into what they're looking for. to tailor the resume, the interview, the candidate (you) to be as hirable and appealing as possible, at least until you secure the deal

best of luck out there wizzie

>I feel like all my interviews have been good enough, I can answer the questions given to me aptly and in a polite manner.

Looks, height, race, sex, age and perceived social skills are mostly what determines the outcome of a job interview more than anything else. A young perky blond bitch can pretty much get any job she wants even if she's under qualified (that's how you end up with all these succubi that have useless jobs but still make six figures). A balding brown manlet is gonna have the odds stacked against him no matter how qualified he is.
In your case it's almost certainly the 'tism that's doing you in. I'm not autistic, but I'm a bit socially off despite my best efforts and it's definitely affected me during job interviews as well. If people pick up on even the slightest hint that you're socially different than them, it's over.

Also, certain jobs are associated with certain groups of people. You'll find it difficult to get a job in housekeeping or as a domestic cleaner if you're a man, even if the job doesn't require any qualifications. Many cafes or restaurants will only employ young succubi to serve as waitresses with the occasional hot guy. And ever see a guy working at a lingerie store? Didn't think so, even though gender discrimination is technically illegal.

For guys like you (and me for that matter) you either need to find a job that insta hires people with no interview (look into temp agencies) or develop skills that are so in demand the pool of candidates is low enough they don't get to be picky about superficial bullshit.

>>309873
>Looks, height, race, sex, age and perceived social skills are mostly what determines the outcome of a job interview more than anything else
true

You might have projector's aura. Which means you should never go after things to achieve them, but await for an invitation towards something, and it needs to be the right something, with chances of getting away whenever you need it, if you do not want to end up messed up badly.

faggot comes with a wild claim that every philosopher was gay. Prion disease has degenerated his brain and projects his homosexuality onto other men, he also worships succubi and the feminine as his goal in life is to get fucked by other men getting as many stds as possible.

Eat a bullet, dishonest faggot.

Sounds like gay cope.

>back to /pol/

>>312842
Gays despair to be recognized as such as if nothing wrong, to receive acceptance. Yet the inner trauma will never stop demanding more and more, degenerating into furtherly deviant forms which will also starve for acceptance. It's like succubi when they roamed the chans, they were told tits of gtfo because everybody could easily sense they were just claiming their condition to be given a special attention… toxic traits

>>312825
this gentleman, more specifically his metaphysics, since that is what the enlightenment tried to bury just because a handful of libertines were iffy about the Church or academia or what have you

werner heisenberg, the father of quantum mechanics, loved philosophy a lot and viewed particles as forms, as in plato's theory of forms

im not saying they are infallible men, just be suspicious of idiots trying to bury knowledge without making a through exposition of why something belongs in the bin. some people speaks ill of aristotle because his physics was btfo by newton, huygens, and galileo, although his work is still useful to describe what physics really is

>>312842
I get succubi but why shouldn't gays be allowed?

>>313601
Not him, but years ago there was a pretty obnoxious gay clique that was active on here and supposedly had some pull with the mods. I haven't posted here regularly for a while so idk if that's still happening but that's probably what he's referring to.

Personally I don't mind gays that much as long as they don't try to pull shit like that or antagonize the userbase.
