Gonna bump with some recommended reading

...

Down from 225 to 185 now, took about 3 months. Final goal weight 165 likely, then I will start clean-bulking. Also reading more philosophy.

>still no job or gf

One of my favourites.

Also, this is from the /fit/ sticky, for new lifters

liamrosen.com/fitness.html

Here's what i'm reading right now, after finishing Existentialism is a Humanism.

Probably bit off more than is appropriate for me to chew but I think i'll make it out alive.

That's really fucking good. What's your height?

Also, if you haven't yet try some Nietzsche.

5'11''

I've been /fit/ before. Had just ballooned up over the past ~2 years while in school.

Oh and one last bump, a PDF of "Democracy, the God that Failed".

Haven't got around to reading it yet, but it's free, so everyone should get it!

Forgot the fucking link

riosmauricio.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Hoppe_Democracy_The_God_That_Failed.pdf

anyhting by dostoysevsky is enlightening and humbling

>Machiavelli

Ah I see, well good on ya for seizing the initiative again. Try some kickboxing or something if you have the time, awesome and fun way to keep fit if you're not hitting the gym.

>implying

I'm still trying to get out of disgust you gave me with suggesting Platon and Machiavelli in the same thread. Even posting Machiafaggo first above Platon...

Anything in specific you'd recommend? I'm completely unfamiliar with him.

If anyone wants computer science related, math, or physics books or material, just ask.

Yep that's pretty much exactly my plan. Either classic boxing or kickboxing. Actually I guess kickboxing seems a bit more practical.

Still gotta quit smoking though, been using it as a study-stress helper, and then as a weight loss crutch. But i'll be out of excuses soon.

That's an incredible weight loss rate. What did you do? Starve?

Hero of our time was an amazing novel. I finished it in a day when I first got it.

Fucking hell, i'm always tired and hedonistic. I'm weak, what am i supposed to do?

Wash out your disgust with some of your own recommended readings, ya god damn roach

I feel like I'm criminally illiterate in those fields, any recommendations for beginners?

I would certainly recommend kickboxing. You'll meet some great guys too.

Might have to pick that up before Christmas, thanks user.

Listen to Jordan Peterson on youtube and he'll frequently mention different works. I've picked up Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov and The Possessed. The Possessed goes into how people become engulfed with revolutionary Bolshevik ideology

look at yourself in the mirror and talk shit about yourself

>for beginners?
The reason I didn't give some huge autistic pdf dump was because it all depends on what you want to learn and what you already know. If you don't know what you want to learn, I'll still need to know what you already know before I can give you anything. What's the last math or physics course you've taken?

Russians had their shit together when it comes to literature.

>inb4 fuck off to /lit/

drive.google.com/open?id=0B2ILpxMxNOBzZGxpNmtQQzBfWlE


You are all now blessed with the vast knowledge of the internet.

You're on a roll with the digits.

Last math course I took was my mandatory commerce course, which was just linear algebra. Never taken a physics course.

Right, I've heard of Jordan before. I'll give it a look.

Someone help me please....I just don't know how to react when someone is calling me a racist or nazi for saying anything that is not with the leftist liberal agenda.
I just don't know what to say....

We wuz pedo n shiet. Russians have always been savage. Don't need a book to tell me this

Keto inspired intermittent fasting with minimum protein. Healthy sized egg sandwich for breakfast, some cottage cheese. Coffee using sweetener and sugar free cream. (recently switched to green tea)

Broccoli, cottage cheese, and deli lunchmeat have been my main snacks.

No alcohol. (alcohol is probably to blame for a lot of the original gain)

Also the cut was planned and I was on vacation for a month before. In that vacation I probably put on 10 pounds.

So perhaps the more conservative guess would have been 215-185, given that I lost my first 10 pounds in basically just over a week. Probably a lot of water weight.

Oh and lots and lots and lots of water.

That's roughly it.

Yeah i'm probably rushing things a bit but I am impatient.

just STFU and be nice. There's nothing else you can do about it.

youtube.com/watch?v=HMQkV5cTuoY

Dawg how the fuck did you lose so much weight.

Hahaha of course that happened to me.

Anything on home exercises?

Trump gave me hope and i am sure you are either trying to bait me or you are a hillary supporter

I mostly lurk but I've been thinking we needed a thread like this for awhile. Improve ourselves, and eachother.

Actually we need a self-general thread always going.

Holy shit, I've actually been doing this kind of stuff lately, I got sick of being a subhuman filth bag, I've been doing the couch to 5K as found on /fit/, I picked the guitar back up again and hopefully will pick the violin back up again as well.

definitely snagging any reading material found in this thread, I have let my brain and body rot to video games and anime for far too long.

Holy fuck you idiots just click this link

I'm doing kettlebells and it's going great. You work a shit ton of muscle groups for functional strength. Get some workout routines off the Tube.

just bantz mate. I'd love to see Germany get it right this time and knock Merkel on her fat doughy ass.

I'm reading how to make friends, because I'm 25 and never one before so my goal in 2017 is to make a friend.

If you want to learn more about physics (past HS/khan academy level), you're going to need to know math up to at least basic calculus first.

Either get Calculus Vol I & II by Apostol, Calculus by Spivak, or Calculus early transcendentals by Stewart. I haven't read through Apostol's volumes, but I do know that Spivak is much more rigorous than Stewart. I couldn't find Stewart for the life of me, and I had a link to Spivak literally 9 days ago and it was shoahed already. If you plan on reading Spivak, you should get a book on proofs first. Pretty much any book will do, I got one called "journey into mathematics" and it has some calculus in it, but it's mostly basic linear algebra (precalculus level) and geometry.

lol just b urself man

Germany needs a satire mass-suicide campaign like Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal where he suggested ideas like selling Irish babies for food to solve Irish poverty and famine. art-bin.com/art/omodest.html

Just take the lefty position of ethnogenocide and distill it: Germans must commit mass suicide, or mass sterilization so they can work to support others, to pay for what the Nazis did to everybody including Germans.

Recommend "The Charisma Myth" it's a quick read, and certainly worth it.

Good work bro. Thats some progress right there

I propose when it comes to being a man of utmost integrity and being a patrician. One must learn to have proper penmanship. The most based and elegant of penmanship is Spencerian Script cursive.

Workouts are easy men, just read the /fit/ sticky and don't be a puss puss.

Bowden said that Sartre was one of the last true Communists.

>how to win friends and influence people
Pretty good book.

Every other day I swim a 200m dolphin kick, no arms.
first length no breathing until I hit wall
2nd one breath halfway
3rd 3 breaths
4th breathe as needed

This conditioning has given me an unstoppable sexual stamina, allowing me to obliterate pussy with serpentine thrusts while howling like a rape dog at the top of my lungs without pause for a half hour.

>self-improvement
LOL FAG

>brown eyes
>white
LOL

Nice communism

you are disgusting

don't beat yourself up about not being able to make friends at this point. You past the easy phase of making friends (childhood). Adults are a lot more closed 25+ and have highschool buddies that still talk too.

I am telling you I haven't made a real 'close' friend since freshman year in college. That was 6 years ago

>I had a link to Spivak literally 9 days ago and it was shoahed already
Never mind, I'm an idiot. computo.fismat.umich.mx/~fhernandez/Cursos/Calculo2015/spivak.pdf

you are a pussy

Thanks. I'll add The Charisma Myth to my reading list.

>Went from 233 to 149 in about 6 months

>Now back up 189

>Have decided to go back down to 160ish - not fat, beefy or faggy twig.

>

stop masturbating

that's number 1.

Or at least learn to dial it back to once a week.

Then I'd recommend changing all of your film habits to obscenely masculine cinema, listening to the most manly shit you can hear, and doing some light stretches every morning to get yourself energized.

and Learn to cook

...

See He responded to you but his post was deleted for some reason. have a pdf images.kw.com/docs/2/1/2/212345/1285134779158_htwfaip.pdf

slap them.

literally slap them and walk away, don't say a word to them, and don't speak to them until they apologize.

Then state your position very clearly and honestly as to why you feel the way you do. They will be vulnerable and will be much more open to your positions, they will want to like you regardless of what you say. If they try to turn it into a debate just say "I will not be moved" and remain silent.

Thanks dude!

Writer here of music and stories. Been working on my first novel for a while now.

I need to learn how to be sociable, and regain some confidence. my skin betrayed me at 21 and broke out pretty bad with psoriasis. I spent the last few years a shut in, to embarrassed to go out. I finally am on a medicine that is clearing me up.. but it's been so long I don't feel like I used to. I used to have friends, confidence, and was in decent shape. Any advice? And can I gain any muscle mass working out at home with no equipment? I'm skinnyas fuck now. 5'10" barely 135 lbs wet

We used to have these all the time before a million newfags flooded the board with contrarian shitposting

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

Thanks for this, user.

Some more free books

Can recommend No More Mr. Nice Guy.

It has a checklist at the back that I used nearly every morning.

Basically it's pretty straightforward stuff, but I was surprised how much of it I don't do.

it might sound gay but you can learn to be sociable through joining webcam rooms. It can help you learn the basics and if you fuck up or hate them you can just close the windows and join a new one. Makes for good practice.

Bulk up, dress well, start lifting. Start some interesting hobbies, learn to garden, write, draw, start boxing, whatever you want.

But the most important thing to remember is that confidence should come from within. When you work on yourself and forge yourself into the best you can be, confidence and friends will come naturally.

Thanks m8

Learn how to build with tools.

Every one of you should have a proper set of tools, and know about the others you can rent.

Just remember, if you can't solve the problems on page 27 (pdf page 40), you should get a book on proofs. The book I recommended was like $5. Here's a pdf of it if you're too Jewish (math.vt.edu/people/day/ProofsBook/IPaMV.pdf )

1/2

Remind me again when the Pagan Greeks identified with you pasty faggots?

2/2

Thanks user

I'm beginning to see the reason for Sup Forums's hatred of my countrymen.

This is my problem. I can hold off on almost everything exept jerking off. I could get a girl but i dont think i can make any relationship work because of my DE. I have improved but its a horrid cycle of "i want sex, i cant feel sex, i try to have sex, i last forever, ejaculate with no orgasm, i feel shitty, i get depressed."

Rinse and repeat while everyone tells me this isn't a problem and you'll be fine. At least i reduced porn and jerking off. It came back a bit. Everyone says i just need practice but i dont even think i can feel it and any condom i use just takes any sensation. Its like having sex with a rubber glove.

Since adopting Trumpism I have started lifting, purchased another 8 guns and saved $19,000 towards buying a home

I second this, if nofaps too hard start with pornfree, much easier jump, I also recommend listening to complex music, 80's shred or any of the artists inspired by it is amazing because it seethes testosterone but is still based heavily on a romantic formulae.

Awesome stuff user, thank you.

What's DE?

Dysfunction Erectile.

>I guess all Japanese people are racist for wanting to keep their country homogeneous

What's the novel about user?

Anyone have any tips on gaining muscle ? Need some help in particular with eating more calories since I'm already at the gym. Don't wanna drink too much milk or eat too much shit because it's bad for health and acne.

Delayed ejaculation.

I feel no possitive sexual stimulation during sex. I take 20 minutes and being over 7 inches i cant be rough enough to get off with most.

Basically this. It only becomes racist when white people advocate for themselves, never when it's other racial groups.

Thanks for the advice anons. I never thought of using chat rooms to get me back into practice. Lately I just find myself not knowing what to say, over analyzing everything etc.

I've been wanting to start going to the gym again but am nervous because stupid fucking spots, it'll be another month before my skin is all clear if the shots work as well as they should and I hate getting stares. So I'm curious about home workouts to get a head start.

dressing well is all I've had the past few years but I need to relearn to be sociable

Differential Equations. Women just can't handle them.

Sort out any issues you have with your father. Talk to him, call him, have a heart to heart. Share what's holding you back in life, or something you want to accomplish. Your father could be the worst person in the world, there's still a man in there, a man that wants to share the things he has learned from life. Everybody likes another person to listen to them, hear what they have to say about this life we are all living. If you don't have a father or he cannot be reached for whatever reason, try to find a mentor of some sort, find the next best thing. We could all use someone to look up to, someone to learn from and be humbled by. As young men we need elders to talk to. Talking to a father reminds you of what kind of man you want to be, the things you are ashamed of that you want to change about yourself, the things you do that are childish, holding you back from your full, mature potential. Fix your relationship with your dad. Call him, talk to him. I learned today my father used to draw and even tried sculpting before I was born. I never knew this before. It doesn't have to be perfect. Just try and make something of it.

Pretty unique advice. Good idea, user.

My dad's a bum that only ever tried getting out of work until he got injured and pushed all the responsibility on my mom. fuck him.

They need to start a non violent tea party type group. The biggest problem is that people feel alone. That's the genius behind the red trump hats. It shown the regular guy trumps numbers. Germany was super cucked by the hallowcaust. They try that with black slavery here but we don't give a shit and know better.

>tfw brainlet
How do I git gud?

My dad is a lolbertarian non-interventionist who never gave me any more advice other than "haha wait until college", even though I want to learn something that he already knew about. He effectively let me waste my entire childhood fucking around doing and learning nothing. Whenever I ask him about his life, he only tells me the same 10 stories and never goes deeper. What exactly am I supposed to do when I have a parent who seems to actively try to ignore me?

Look mate, I can't help you unless I get a starting point. What's the last math course you've taken?
