Just a friendly reminder to check pins

in the book discussion channel, I've pinned a link to the book of the week.

Feel free to join VC!

Bumping

The VC is much better. You actually get a sense of who you're dealing with, and get your daily human interaction in instead of just looking at text all day.

Does anyone here lift?

My current stats:

BP: 175lbs 5x5
OHP: 120lbs 3x5
deadlift: 285lbs 1x5
squat: 230lbs 3x5

also pic related is the month's remaining books and next month's books

should i approach women like a numbers game? does treating them like objects or side quests help for us more autistic anons?
i have had some luck with random hookups but all i really want is a stable relationship

IMO, you should max out your potential and be someone you are genuinely proud to be, and you'll become naturally confident

that way you'll not only have an easier time approaching a girl, but also having something meaningful in the long-run

EVERY POUND OF FAT IS 3500 CALORIES YOUR BODY DIDN'T NEED.

Bump

No.
Never approach women like a numbers game.
We aren't like RooshV here.
We want to actually improve ourselves as humans instead of improving our chances of getting laid.
If you want to find a woman for a stable relationship, go online to OkCupid, look at match percentages, and don't think of her as a potential fuckbuddy. AT the same time, don't be a pushover. If she starts to friendzone you(you'll know the signs) then drop her.
It's either a relationship, or nothing.

Is this a depiction of the anti-christ?

What do you guys think about running?

What are you running from?

current PR's (mixed) are:
BP: 185lbs for 1x5
OHP: 115lbs for 1x5
DL: 340lbs for 1x2
Squat: 240lbs for 1x5

Work on your DL user and don't you dare think I am an American army cunny.

My deadlift is making fast progress, but I think my squat is poop and that will affect me overall

I have a problem twisting my torso slightly to the right on the way up. Someone at the gym said it was probably tight muscle groups.

What routine do you do?

Bamp

Daily reminder that you should be well versed in esoterics too.

Be weary though, dark occultists tend to psy op esoteric information.

Here's a bunch of books:

mega.nz/#F!AE5yjIqB!y7Vdxdb5pbNsi2O3zyq9KQ

Here's a bunch of philosophy and political ideology stuff everyone should read as well:

mega.nz/#F!MQBRHBJA!L_on3h-XUrtbc719UaMygw


And finally, although I despise financial systems and jewish mindsets of getting a living, unfortunately money is a huge component of power these days. Here's a lot of investment books you should read:


mega.nz/#F!1R0QATqZ!Eb1_M5KC9gkxK6w32R2ETw
Bonus information:

Shills on youtube talking about esoterics will often call the "cult of the black sun" the dark occult. This is a psy op by the dark occult itself. Sun worship is actually the dark occult, not worship of the black sun.

Black sun worshipers were the nazis, who were ganged up on by dark occult and jew controlled countries.

So guys like Mark Passio talking about how the nazis were evil and the dark occult are the "cult of the black sun" is a lie. Other way around. National Socialists were into the vrill society which believed in and practiced many light occult ideas.

Anyone here Foundation-Tier?

I wouldn't worry too much about lifting weaknesses, just keep going and don't do anything that hurts. That's just my two cents though.

If you're made of money and time, go see a physio, if not, just try to stretch and seek some (((free))) advice elsewhere, like youtube.

I lift 3 times a week on the A, B, A, B, etc principle. So week 1 Monday is A, Wed is B, Fri is A, then week 2 Mon is B, Wed is A, Fri is B, repeat.

A - BP, Squat, Pullups, Triceps
B - DL, OHP, Rows, Biceps

Currently 5'11 and 75kg so quite lean at the moment, been bulking since Winter and will continue through to around mid-May.

Also reading Tolstoy collection in Korean and Robinson Crusoe in English.

Can't recommend Count of Monte Cristo enough.

I appreciate the input, but we're trying to keep this more worldly.

can you give me a brief synopsis?

you do essentially the same routine I do lol

Count of Monte Cristo is fantastic. Literally a soap opera but good.

Materialism is why our race has gotten into the mess we are in.

Atheists and their ilk will burn alongside everything else when we finally gain the upper hand.

NEW INVITE

Reminder: there will be NO posting of any sort of politics, racism or discussions relating to race, conspiracy theories, etc.

Idk if this is for asking questions but if anyone here knows anything about wildland firefighting east of the Mississippi, I'm all ears.

YES! holy shit saw a post about this book a couple of days ago and bought it. Cheap book, priceless ideas. GOONAN IS REDPILLED

Invite expired discord.gg/7KQB2bA

No, it didn't

see

philosophy like Nietzsche but better, then politically incorrect application of ideas

Whatever happened to that Sup Forums book club? We were going to start a weekly thread on Saturdays or Sundays at a particular server time and agree on a book to read and discuss (i.e. yell at each other about) for the next week.

Not politics
Sage and take this shit thread somewhere else

This fucking kike is so easy to identify.

Fuck out of here if you don't want to talk about race.

Race is the most important thing on pol. If you don't like it fuck off right back to r/thedonald.

Self improvement is only valuable to human beings: whites. Everyone else can burn.

Just found it on Amazon. Bought it, it's pretty cheap and looks like a good read.

I'll to give it a read at my next meditation/cardio session tomorrow morning after my lifting routine.

Anyone have advice for someone with a bulged disc? Drunk driver drove into me around October and it still hurts.
Fit is no help just idiots ignoring it.

>a fucking leaf

Read Sean Goonans book and get involved in th foundation for exploration. Train your mind and rehab your body.

You forgot to type "pray" in your otherwise reasonable list


>This week's book:
>How to Win Friends and Influence People
Not that anyone is going to believe me, but did you know I actually helped instruct a Dale Carnegie Educational Course 4 years in a row?

We talked amongst ourselves and agreed to rescind that statement.

My friend here meant that the discord is meant primarily for self improvement and community, and less so as just a Sup Forums substitute

tl;dr we don't turn this into a general Sup Forums server.

Sorry for any confusion from our part.

I meant something practical.

that's pretty topical

feel free to join the discord. We have a VC on it and we'd like to hear about it.

Temporarily Permanent Invite

This is the new temporarily permanent invite!

discord.gg/pguTVYT

I won't be joining but thank you for the invitation.

New temporary invite:
discord.gg/pguTVYT

are you trying to influence me?

Reading every week is gonna be the hardest thing Ive done since high school.

When I had to read every week.

Hot damn am I a mess.

Then this is perfect motivation for you.
You have motivation to read the books because We cant to be able to discuss the books and all be on the same page.

All influence means is being kind of people and being a good guy, being charismatic, etc
Nothing ground breaking

Honestly, Dale Carnegie's ideas are literally just the ideas from Jesus. Nothing new or special. Just don't be a dick and be confident.

*being kind to people

Bump

Friendly Reminder that this is the new invite link!


Feel free to join the VC and get acquainted!

bump

May hurt your ankles I think, I prefer swimming.

I need to start doing cardio

I don't like using cardio machines though. Tracks are more fun

>This weeks book

KEK

HAHAHAHAHA

>HOW TO WIN FRIENDS

If they're stupid shmucks then go fuck themselves, normies will ALWAYS leave you if you're redpilled ALWAYS

>how to influence
You don't get it. You're fedoras nobody wants to here what you want to say

>befriending normal bluepilled people

YOU THINK THEYLL STICK AROUND

BOY O BOY

NO WAY

IF THEY ARE ALL DIVORCING EACH OTHER AND SCREWING EACH OTHER FOR MONEY

WHAT THE HELL MAKES YOU THINK THEY WILL BE YOUR FRIEND FOREVER

Hi

People are redpilled like Richard Spencer or Jared Taylor, but have good PR and can rally minds together and make others more open minded to what they have to say.

If you're an autist, you will scare away everyone, including your allies.

Our intended goal of the chat is to basically make leaders and be described as 'charismatic' despite their views.

THIS IS THE APOCALYPSE

WHY DO YOU THINK THE BIBLE'S GREATEST PEOPLE WERE ALL REJECTED BY SOCIETY AT LARGE???

WHY DO YOU THINK THERE WERE SO MANY MONKS?

When society collapses normies stop befriending people. That's why it collapses

>Arguing against trying to bring people to align with oneself
Autism

What if it's """public""" water? What about our precious fluids?

Lets make these a normal thing like /sg/ or trump general. I like the advice anons give.

I only masturbated 3 times today. I feel proud.

OH FUCKING STOP

LAST TIME YOU TOLD ME TO WORSHIP THE DEVIL AND COMMUNISM IS A GREAT IDEA

YOU ARE ALL COMMIES

THERE WILL BE NO FUCKING MERCY

GET THE FUCK BACK TO PLEBBIT
YOU ARE ALL FILTHY GOY

how to improve yourself overnight

leave /pol forever

GOONAN

Hi! I'm glad you are leaning that way.

That's actually our intended goal.

Kind of like how /plg/ is a community on /fit/ based around powerlifting, I want to create a self-improvement community on Sup Forums

Feel free to join the discord. we posted a new permanent link in the thread.

Also I do not alwats mean to be annoying when using all caps

The caps remind me of Roma
Feels good

Do you think that anyone will listen to you with that kind of attitude?

The invite has expired, can you give another one?

It's a good book, there's nothing cringey, just stuff a a lot of normal people already do, but some don't

Howard Stern has read the book and said it has helped him conduct his interviews

>tfw all you have to do is watch dragon ball z and pretend to be vegeta and you will be okay

>always strive to be the best and strongest
>don't worry about your feelings holding you back
>do what's best for you and forget everyone else


Vegeta is /ourguy/.

>reading a book written by a faggot

Nice try

yeah, sorry.

This is a permanent invite

>tfw have so many items on self improvement list that I just end up accomplishing nothing

Bettering oneself is hard

I signed up for a gym membership and tomorrow will be my first day. I'm terrified, but I'm at least 30 pounds overweight and I know it must be done

This should probably be a regular thing. I've been redpilling friends and girls (different things, this is known by all) at my high school for a while now, what with the charismatic jokey thing, but in college I might need threads and ideas like these.

Also, general FYI to everyone, the first couple days of this discord will be rather bloated with new people joining but not really participating.

It'll die down to a good healthy community-sized group probably within the week.

This isn't politics. Sage.

That book teaches you how to be a cuck, I am listen up ng to The Blank Slate, the biology of belief is also good.

YES

Actually yes

I don't mean to boast but only to answer your rejection
My friend reqested that I answer to these threads

And since then I have noticed that people have said they are considering Christianity a great deal more, and Catholicism at that

I got a sudden urge this week to start bulking up hope im not too late.

You'll be fine.Losing weight is easy once you know what to cut out of your diet.

Great idea user! Is there a mega link for that book?

Tips to save money:

>cut your own hair
Buzzcuts take 0 skill. A haircutting set often includes various trimmers as well...Usually about $30-$50. They tend to last 2-3 years unless you go for a more expensive one. Oil them up before use if you want them to last longer.

>use safety razors
Razor + 100 blades is about $70. The razor will last you a decade at minimum. Every time I shave I think of how much money I've saved. I use each blade 2-3 times as well. It took me 3 years to get through my first 100 pack.

>buy used
I frequent 2nd hand shops at least once per week. Most days I do not buy anything. But the majority of my clothing and books are bought used at 2nd hand shops. Almost any classic book you can think of will be in used book stores at 1/10th the cost.

>use a slowcooker, or make bulk meals
1 batch of chili should last 2-4 days. Saves cash even if you just cook one meal in bulk like this

When it comes to purchasing material goods something to keep in mind is planned obsolescence. Many products are made for single use, or short-term use, and have long lasting counterparts. Shaving equips are a prime example.

I'm something of a poorfag, but unlike many losers in Canada I'm not on any form of welfare...Even though I could qualify for certain types of assistance. I get by a lot better than I should because I love being frugal, and I don't have any bad habits (smoking/drinking/drugs, etc).

>Tolstoy in Korean

dear god

That's the point.
Something that is worth achieving is hard to accomplish

I should probably mention that in #announcements

Hey hey I am a friend maker I really am

I have REALLY been a good friend I've tried to befirend blue normies. I really did ernestly

But so many just leave you. They either get redpilled if you are the right type and none of you are redpilled, but they leave

They leave their wives and their husbands
They leave their children in debt
They will not stay around to be your friend

Your only chance is to get picky real fast
People that are repilled and have few friend and have a hard time socializing. Theyre the ones that stick around among the ONLY

Recently hit a 5 plate deadliest lads.

Have you ever bulged a disc

I like this. I like this a lot user.

Unless you can handle rejection over and over until one sticks to you then you should get picky

ALSO SIG THREADS ARE COMMIE THREADS
THEY CANT ENCOURAGE YOU TO WORK BC THEY DONT PAY YOU LIKE A GOODGOY

SO THEY PUSH THIS
