For getting a six pack in six days to impress.. the guys?? The gay that wrote that is a married homosexual that only wants to appear fit to attract other gay sex conspirators. Yuck! And his nutrition advice is nothing but "What can I eat to lose weight" garbage.

>>310236 is right. You can maintain a state of constant regeneration through proper diet and rest, but attacking the same muscles repeatedly before they have a chance to recover is going to be useless at best and dangerous at worst. Like how carpal tunnel and rotary cuff injuries form from repeat wear with no time for the joints to recover. The muscles, where they attach to the bones, and even the bones themselves require a grace period after every resistance session.

This is why intermediate program would look something like
>Day 1: Arm movement, stretches, wrist curls, grip
>Day 2: Arms, shoulders, neck, chest with heavy resistance
>Day 3: Rest
>Day 4: Leg movement, stretches, abdomen, light cardio
>Day 5: Legs, back, abdomen with heavy resistance
>Day 6: Rest
>Repeat

Get stretches in, evaluate how a group of muscles feels, hit some of the twitch fibres. Then the next day hit them with the heavy training. A full day of rest after every resistance session. Move to the other half of your body. These recovery and evaluation days are real important for a beginner, especially someone who's been sedentary. Nobody is incapable of getting strong enough to crush their own skull, but past habits will greatly influence how you begin. As a beginner, hitting hypertrophy in your upper half should have you begging for an extra rest day. That is good. listen to your body. If it is sore, it is fixing itself. Give it the nutrition it needs to do so, keeping other parts of your body limber in the meantime, and then go back harder when the soreness wains. Exerting a muscle to its limits while it is still recovering is like re-opening a flesh wound. It's not going to heal faster, and now there's going to be a bigger scar of dense, nerveless flesh.

My experience is that the most efficient way to maintain sanity through exercise is to train every day, but not lifting. There are a lot of gymnastics you can do every day, because they do not involve aggressive attacks of your body and instead just some repetitive movements with your body. It gets you exhausted quickly, but doesn't give all the stress of a lifttard training. Some chinese stuff can be pretty good in this regard. It is also mentally much easier while depressed.

1 day failure and 1 day cardio is best way. because when you do cardio it pumps blood (nutrition) to your body, so muscles fixes more early.

This complicated exercise routine isn't even necessary for building an impressive physique.

You can do 1 chest/arm exercise and you'll build a respectable fit slim muscled physique with pumped up ballooned arm muscles, chest muscles and slim semi-muscled abs that form naturally with no ab exercises.

You don't need to workout 6 days a week either, only 5. But you do need a high protein low calorie diet with meat, dairy products and low cal veggies.

Actually been taking up writing as a hobby somewhat reacently.
I am still pretty bad but I feel like by practicing consistently and giving myself goals to work towards I am already learning things and improving.
That said I am a long way from being able to write a decent book worth publishing, even self publishing. Though before I started writing in eunist I didn't even think it was realistically possible for myself to write a whole book without major assistance or some sort of cheat.

Dry Scalp is a bitch. I have been using Nizoral but that only stops it temporarily. Turns out using shampoo only dries out your skin. Shampoo is for cleaning your hair, and removing dirty oils.

You have to use conditioner to put back essential oils, keeping your hair strong, longer, and most importantly for me: moisturizing your head so your scalp won't be dry. Nizoral only removes dead skin, but since it dries out the scalp, it's gonna create more dead skin after a day or two.

Normally I leave a dozen skin flakes on my pillow everyday, about half that amount if I'm using Nizoral. And now I leave maybe a few skin flakes and they're half the size. I've used conditioner only 5 times in the last week or so. I imagine it will take a while to fix the issue but maybe I wont have to go to a dermatologist.

You sound like a daytime TV commercial played during a rerun of Oprah. No, "we" do not need to use conditioner because we are not an fatty fat female ew yucks. The only essential oils the head needs are the ones it produces itself, which can't be replaced by any amount of synthetic hormone-blocking goo. There's no evidence that the hair is strengthened by any such conditioners either, with evidence rather to suggest that the acidic reaction can dissolve hair entirely.

"Shovel Gloving" or just "shovelglove" is a gay-sounding and gay-looking exercise routine perfect for recluses who want a little exercise to prevent their health from declining but otherwise don't care much about physical fitness. It involves swinging a sledge hammer around for 14 minutes every day. It can be fun as long as nobody can see through your windows and see you acting retarded.

You can google the word and find the routine's web site. It has instructions for a variety of different motions and the creator's reasoning for sticking to 14 minutes a day. The word "shovel" refers to the primary exercise motion in which you mimic the act of shoveling with your sledge hammer. "Glove" refers to cushioning the head of the hammer (like by wrapping a sweater around it) to reduce the chances of accidentally destroying things or murdering your pets or yourself. The "glove" part is optional though.

>At the height of his strength career, Mark Henry stood 6’ 3’’ tall, weighed between 390-410 pounds, and was widely considered to be the strongest man in the world. It’s also arguable that Mark Henry was/is the strongest man of all time.
>Two essential points qualify Henry for such a title: 1. Throughout his life and career, he was completely drug free, meaning he never used steroids.
> 2. In a combined total of the five primary, competitive lifts which are measured and adjudicated with precision (three powerlifts: the squat, the deadlift, and the bench; plus, two weightlifting movements: the snatch and the clean and jerk), Henry’s record total set in the mid-1990s still surpasses that of any other human as we write this in 2021.
> What makes Mark Henry stand apart from other legendary strongmen, is that while he was blessed with prodigious size and raw strength, he also had extraordinary balance, coordination, explosiveness, and flexibility. Combine that with what Henry, himself, describes as a “psycho-competitive” nature and it’s no wonder that the colossus from Silsbee, Texas broke so many records and dominated the competition in three different strength sports: powerlifting, weightlifting, and strongman. No one else has ever done that.

I was thinking how brutal doing exercise till failure with pushups and pullups Three times in a row each on the same day. This program is not based on reality, you would lose your will after the second set till failure and struggle to ever do the second arms exercise. That cardio every day will also tank your gains, and there's no way you could even do it with squats till failure the day before actually.

Jog twice a week. Do a pullups till failure day and alternate with pushups till failure. Do starter sets each for endurance/volume and then the final set till failure twice (4+ sets, 3 never works IMO). If you're going to do squats till failure do it with a day of leg rest between jogging. That might be more viable

Weight lifting itself will also increase androgen density. You need androgen receptors to absorb the free testosterone otherwise it'll turn into estrogen. You'll know if you're testosterone maxing if you grow thick facial hair. Beware however, excess testosterone is implicated in aggression.

I don't know the full details on recovery maxing yet but for creatine, sauna exposure for GH, a good amino acid supplement should help

how come "skin" is falling off the scalp and do you actual dumb person really believe that putting something on top like an oil can possibly cure the underlying causes or do you simply not believe in cause and effect. the brown grass metaphor would have been enough for a smart person to understand that this sorry exchange of way too condensed words that you call a discussion has made no genuine effort of uncovering the root of the problem.

ironic that you complain about people not contributing to the discussion. if all the sages from all the imageboards were gone, the world would be much better. sages are nothing but cancer. decent people don't sage threads, they ignore them and instead go in the threads they believe in stupid minion lick a boot.

>I try to take it easy but still always end up injuring myself.
okay, wizard brother. I'm here to help you. You seem to be suffering from a case of bad form. When I began training and was a total noob, I also was scared of injury because everything was new and unknown to me, that was 12 years ago. One time when doing pull-ups trying to increase my max number of reps I injured my shoulders and had to wait for a good 1 or 2 weeks to recover.

Thing is, you have to work on your form, there's plenty of videos that you can use and you can record yourself with your phone camera to see if you're doing the exercises right or if you have a mirror use it.
Also, try to warm up a little before exercises, things like scapula retractions while hanging on the bar before commencing your sets of pull-ups should help.

Doing body-weight exercises shouldn't cause you injury so if that happens you're definitely doing something wrong.

no fap has been investigated by health experts and scientists, as has masturbation and sex. no fap has no long term health benefits. the only benefit of no fap is if you are doing it to break a porn addiction. but it is not the only means to break a porn adiction and in and of itself, does not have any health benefits. whether you approve of it or not, sex has proven health benefits. whether you approve of it or not, so does masterbation. masterbatioin is only detrimental to health if done in excess. what qualifies as excess depends on individual health and libido. these are simple facts that can be acquired with the most basic level of investigation.

whether or not fapping is wizardly is, however, a debatable point. but ultimately, it is irrelevant by my calculations. my personal belief is being a wiz is something that goes beyond sexual self-management, and that saying our wizardry is defined by this single point erodes the true depth and meaning of wizardry itself.

psychology is a soft science, so if you have hundreds of thousands of people in nofap and %98 of people have positive feedback on it, it means there's enough anecdotal evidence. you don't need to wait for some "muh expert" to do a scientific research on this subject.
you don't need hard evidence to act on nofap or semen retention because there's no negative effects.

not once have i seen you made a reasonable case for why you talk so much about nofap. there must be a reason for why you are so addicted to talking about this and you have yet to share it. spill it. what is it? why are you making so much wind about this?

if whether or not you nut makes such a big difference to you that you can not stop talking about it, i question you and everything you stand for.

>Better yet, why dont you turn into a scientist and see if it works or not?

sometimes i fap multiple times a week, sometimes a week goes by without fapping i don't believe it makes a significant difference. i don't feel better or worse in either case, it does not influence my life. i don't like succubi, i don't wanna bring a kid in this fucked up place, sexuality is very unimportant in my life.

there are dudes who are very unbalanced, very much led around by the nose by his emotions, very much unconscious, not thinking for himself, looking for validation, never got that hug, always craving intimacy with others, repressed, unfulfilled, nervous. to guys like that orgasms are very precious. not to me, i already feel pretty good most of the time, a few seconds of concentrated nervous center activity don't mean much to me. when someone places that much value on orgasms, i keep wondering if that person is unbalanced.

i guess i come to different conclusion though. i think someone unbalanced like that should orgasm often to blow off steam so to speak. to help relax and uncringe from their shitlife. to someone unbalanced like i believe orgasms to be almost a form of therapy that helps them.

i can not fathom what makes you think that bottling up this strong urge that someone has, will make any kind of positive benefit. don't you know that age and wisdom will stop that pot from boiling automatically?

i'm torn on this, it doesn't impress me but also i don't want to poop on your party or deny/ruin your beneficial experience.

i meant what i said about meditation though. when you do it a bit, you'll find there is interesting stuff hidden in the complete absence of stress. it's like a completely different life buried in sitting around trying to not think. as the thinking subsides, capacity frees up and the sensory apparatus lights up again. most people believe their nerves are only to transmit pain but when you meditate a bit, you find that there is also the state of pleasantness where every nerve just becomes a thing that can feel good all the time for no reason.

your semen retention sound like a fart compared to that, though farts are nice too.

>im doing mindfulness meditation myself for one year straight.


then how come you still write like a cringed out 13 year old who does't say what he means, doesn't mean what he says and hides behind empty judgements that you invest no effort into illustrating so that other people understand them. you believe you are so smart and respectable that you don't have to reveal your thoughtprocess, you think you can just devinely give judgements and readers will accept them because they respect you so much. i don't. i look down on you.

>you are really delusional im not even kidding at this point.


yeah you said that before but so far you have made no attempt to justify this empty judgement based on anything of substance. most likely just your lower nature emotions of frustration, the kind of emotions you learn to transcend in mindfulness meditation. this is a strong indicator of you not doing mindfulness meditation.

>i contributed in this thread


yeah in your overweight constantly out of breath kind of way. maybe you tried, i don't wanna be too harsh but again i am not impressed. you are obviously in over your head.

you probably don't mean it in a Carl Jung-ian sense when you accuse me of projection, you mean it in kind of a "i am talking to someone on the internet and i don't know what to say so i just make an accusation of projection, that seems to work, i've seen smart people do that so i also do that, maybe i'll look smart". you don't use the concept projection right. you use projection like an idiot, like you want it to mean "OH YEAH? NO YOU!" you don't know about the shadow and outsourcing parts of your personality to the shadow so that you can pretend to be virtuous. there is an entire lore behind it.

same with shizo, you just use that as a general unspecific internet insult because you don't understand the depth that of multiple personality issue and why fools do it, you just heard someone use the word and copied it. 5 years ago i am sure you were saying "take your meds" instead every 5 minutes and post the meme of the penguin with the tray because underneath it all you don't understand much, you just imitate the people around you because you are nothing but a stupid group victim trying to prove his normality by barking and calling un-normality crazy.

yeah maybe. or maybe everyone can only argue things to the point that they understand what they actually believe and what they took the time to think through. many don't do that. why do edgelords keep repeating "question everything"? because hardly anyone does… maybe you are one of those many and now that you are somewhat exposed, you don't like how this makes you look because this concerns your most pressing concern, your identity; which i always thought to be a curious thing to defend in an at least somewhat anonymous setting like an imageboard. at least here you should be free from the obsession to perform.

>i think you are decent person


i encountered this many times in my days. i like to be disrespectful towards people without being overly mean or hurtful and it turns out many people believe they should not be respected either and could never trust someone who respects who they ended up becoming. they appreciate the honesty without the devastation it usually brings along. i don't feel the need to bring devastation along because whoever ends up being an actor has a permanent subscription to devastation already. i'd feel petty to add to that.

outwardly a normie demands respect, secretly they crave disrespect. i believe this goes so far that a lot of unrespectable people (who are hidden behind their respectable facade) only care about the opinion of disrespectful people because they are disgusted with the necessary implied dishonesty involved in respecting someone's pretend-self. to be more blunt: they could never respect someone who respects them. they know they are nothing but actors on a stage pretending to be something and whoever respects this has to be an idiot.

they'll play along with whoever respects them but if they were honest, they are looking down on anyone falling for the theater. "what you respect me? but can't you tell i am nothing but an imitation? respect an actual person, not someone like meeEEEEee?"

the thought of other's disapproving of you is weighing you down. if you were free from this as i am, you could use every minute of the day to make your life better and sooner or later, the disapprovers had nothing to disapprove of.

Start lifting. Even calisthenics or light cardio will do. A day without gains is a day making you weaker and more feeble down the line. It's a true race against time to peak before you reach the prime of your life in your 30's. Don't waste a day! This is my advice

Had a neighbor that got that.
Lost like 200 pounds in the first year, then had a death in the family that they didn't cope well with and ended up gaining all the weight back, plus 100 pounds, and had gained a benzo addiction.

I guess my main point in telling this story is that you should get mental support to go along with physical support. That way your physical and mental health can reinforce your positive changes even when you face life challenges.

Regardless I wish you luck with it and hope you don't face too bad of complications.
