Rhabdomyolysis is a serious syndrome due to a direct or indirect muscle injury. It results from the death of muscle fibers and release of their contents into the bloodstream. This can lead to complications such as renal (kidney) failure. This occurs when the kidneys cannot remove waste and concentrated urine. In rare cases, rhabdomyolysis can even cause death.

I can't concentrate or commit to shit anymore. I've been lifting for ten years (26). Pretty much over spending more than an hour in the gym so I pretty much keep it simple and focus on my heavy compound lifts 3 to 4 times a week. My question is what can I do for extra motivation besides caffeine. I'm sensitive as shit to it. Anyone know a diet which can unfuck my shit? other supplements?

Is learning a language is part of improving yourself or just a time waste ? What language are relevant to learn ?

>lifting
only? kek slow big fuck
>meditation
just wasting time you should be learning how to kill a nigger but no your just sitting there being a fucktard

>improving yourself
this meme needs to end
>or just a time waste
if you wont ever use it then yes

Do you still fap?

If you do so regularly, try stopping for a while.

>My question is what can I do for extra motivation besides caffeine. I'm sensitive as shit to it. Anyone know a diet which can unfuck my shit? other supplements?
It's mainly willpower. If your body isn't really tired and exhausted you don't have to take supplement or anything. You just have to want to do it. Since it's been 10 years you might need to re-motivated yourself
Still as annoying as you were in the first thread

Was going to addend my post in previous thread thusly:

Meant to mention the old adage 'early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise'. If you're like me and prefer the solitude of night for productive work, you can get the same benefit by waking at 5 or 530 and doing it then, when you have the benefit of not having spent your mental energy on the daily grind yet. If you have the luxury, take a short nap in the afternoon and you'll feel like you've had two days by the time you hit the sack, and the nap allows you to stay up later and still hit your sleep reqs. In any case, make a sleep schedule and stick to it, eventually you won't even need to set an alarm, and always make sure you don't undersleep (you can get away with it temporarily, but eventually you'll have to oversleep to compensate.)

Related to spending less time on Sup Forums, many people in this world sneer at anything less than perfection as a way to promote themselves and probably as a way to continue to be lazy, but in the real world there are no generalized, optimal solutions and so you just have to roll with the circumstances, engineer an acceptable yet imperfect solution to your problem (in this case self-improvement) and put together a better one when opportunity allows. If you can't learn to disregard such pitiful behaviour, there is no shame in excising the negativity from your life.

How does one stops fapping?

How do I become social again?

It feels like a problem when I am among people and it sucks my energy

>no shooting and fighting sports

mix honey, coconut oil, bee pollen & milk and drink it every morning

also no fap fap as stated above

>How does one stops fapping?
literally up to you, ignore boners, dont visit /gif/, etc

>How do I become social again?
stop fapping.

>Be in this world, not of this world

Try switching it up do a hard swim set. I personally do a thing called serpent set everytime I lose motivation to lift which is 100 50m (two lengths) with a minuet to swim it then rest until going again. But if swimming isn't your thing you could switch a regular lift to clean, clean and jerk, or snatch to throw your whole body into motion

i am in the process of de-fappening. You have to move away from technology. You have to go tech-lite. You have to treat the computer like a library. Put it in the living room. Make it public. Come to Sup Forums for red-pill resources and a small amount of friendly bantz but dont veer off to porn boards and porn sites.

find a good goal
work towards it
attain it
set new goal

Read on downtime, or even play a game, but avoid porn. Take sleeping supplements if you fap before bed and stop fapping.

Hit the weights do cardio (i.e. join a boxing club), exhaust yourself physically, Lajos. Same worked for me. After a day I was too tired to even think of fapping let along doing it.

How bad is your social life? I mean do you have at least one or two friends? Relatives your age?

>but its like 35 °C here
If you stop yourself at the first difficulty you won't do much. You can still do sport, but maybe less than you would usually do.
It feels like a problem when I am among people and it sucks my energy
It's the same for a lot of people. You just have to be sometimes with people without too much socializing. If you have no friend try to go out for hobbies

Home gym or the gym?

I've always hated going to the gym so I bought a bench and some weights. I've been lifting a whole lot more than I did with a gym membership.

Can't help but feel emasculated going to the gym with all these ripped mother fuckers walking around and waiting on my to finish on the bench relatively moving barely any weight

What gym do you go to? Maybe try one in an older part of town. Pick the gym your dad would go to.

Honestly, though, forcing myself to go out in public and socialize is as much of an exercise for the mind as the gym is for the body--for that, I think it's necessary.

If you want to learn a language, do it. If you're not interested, don't. Chinese is probably the most relevant language to learn today.

Fapping my gives me terrible anxiety for an entire day now. I think I read so much nofap material and had the fear of God put in me that my brain and body and now allergic to masturbation

Needless to say my fapping is way down

home gym. feels way more comfortable, can always do a break and do something else, can hear your own music as loud as you want. only downside is the equipment

At the gym no one gives a fuck. Even if your the tiniest guy there. Everyone is just trying to better themselves. So everyone is on the same level

I started lifting when I was about 15, but was worried about the same thing. I was a scrawny guy because my COACH wanted me to wrestle at a lower weight class, then COACH told me to move up.

I basically spent about 5-6 months at the home gym to get at least a shape that resembled a muscular guy, then I hit the gym from then on.

Home gym can't even compete with a real gym.

no need to get touchy, mbango. to use your words: internet is full of this shit also /fit/ and /k/

if you have a set of weights a bench a pull up bar you should be fine. there is this guy scooby who has guids for workouts at home without going to the gym.

when going to gym don't look at others. focus on yourself mapleman.

I know they don't give a shit

Maybe I just have too much pride. I'd rather lift in my cocoon, emerge as a swole butterfly, then think about joining the others

Better bush you teeth after, honey is terrible for acid erosion.

Same goes for you guys using it in tea or coffee.

If it's home gym or nothing, then the answer is home gym. Don't be a faggot.

Also use dental floss and interdental brush every night before go to sleep. the narrow gaps are not reachable with regular tooth brush.

Ready for your debut in UFC?

How to be in world of people watching TV, listening to shit, talking about weather ?
> Like act like a normie, but don't be one?
This is manipulation, I feel bad about that. Also I'm a shitty actor

Being a Man isn't considered normal anymore, that's it Sup Forums.

This thread proves it.The strugle to be better, to improve is now edgy.

Well, I'm kind of done fencing (effectively graduated from college) so theoretically, it will all go back to normal if I work out like a normal person and get normal person legs again.

I'm actually a massive pussy that probably couldn't throw a punch with the intention to cause harm.

Orthodoxy has led me to the iron pill. We fast almost half the year and exercise is encouraged so I started doing SL 5x5 after a couple months of fucking around at the gym wasn't doing much. I stopped drinking alcohol and now I only drink water and milk. My only hangup right now is I smoke weed because it helps with my PTSD and anxiety. Some day I will be rid of the devil's lettuce though.

Talking about the weather is redpill asf, a man needs to know how his crops are doing and whether to shelter his wifey and chilluns

Imagine being in a life threatning situation

You already know english so why ask

Some good advice here.

What do you think causes that blockade? low selfesteem? fear of consequences?

i mean for example if some dindu tries do steal your shit, would you just sit there and what him have his way? if that dindu tries to punch you you better make sure that this is the last move he will ever make against you. no fear. release the beast burgerbro.

Speaking of normies

Just think about this. Once we make it we will be superior to the normie in every way.

Normies have never had to make it. They haven't had to deal with adversity, being an outcast, or improving themselves. They were just born with it, good looks, social skills, etc..

If we manage to pull ourselves up we will emerge a sort of Normie +, a well refined blade tempered by fire, a true ubermensch

>They haven't had to deal with adversity, being an outcast, or improving themselves.
Categorically false. Our path is different from theirs, sure, but it's not like we're the only ones trying to solve our problems.

True. I got a little worked up.

It is just another path in life.

what do you guys do when you get rejected by a girl? i know the usual cliche stuff like get it together etc. but that's way too vague

can you help me with anything concrete?

Don't talk to them in the 1st place, works for me

i think i'm seeing double. kek

but yeah what janez said. also depends on the situation how long you have known that girl.

I'm not too good with women but I'd imagine something along the lines of smiling and being polite in the face of rejection. Maybe a "sorry you feel that way, wish you all the best" kind of deal.

Don't get all pissed off rude or sad even if those are your initial instincts. It shows desperation.

If you end it on a nice note they might even feel like they were the bitch, take pity and maybe try and contact you again. Guilt trip could work.

Attitude gets the women. Also, never make the first step like a sperg. Before you do anything accuse her incidentally that she's attracted to you.

Women are like animals. They like being told what they are, what they like and what to do. Hope this helps.

It ain't workin'

My first advice is to stop asking out girls that you know well. If you don't know them well you're much less likely to be hurt when you ask them out.

When you're rejected/dumped, the best course of action is to cease all contact with the girl in question. You'll get over it in time, just fill that void with other things - get together with friends often.

Also, if you don't have it, fake the confidence. It doesn't matter. They can't read through you.

If you want to get over her, you need to realize that it's her loss and let her have it.
People are imperfect and sometimes make the wrong choices.
She decided to make a wrong choice by not engaging with you, and it's her choice - for good or bad.
Forgive her and move on. Hundreds of opportunities await you if you're willing to go through the hassle - you can make it.

think about that someone is watching you while you are doing it.
maybe it only works for me tho, since I'm paranoid as fuck.

>cryptokey

jebo mu ja mater, to sigurno neki šiptar stavio

First, I appreciate the fact that she was upfront about it. Being strung along for a bit and then finally ghosted is much more humiliating than outright rejection. Next, I try to remember that women are probably well-primed evolutionarily to filter through acceptable mates. Now, this doesn't mean her assessment of you was necessarily accurate (maybe you haven't shown her your 'true' self, for instance) or that the grounds she rejected you on matter to you at all (maybe you have incompatible immune systems or something, Juno I'm no scientist), but you should at least consider the possible personal deficiencies which led her to turn you down. If you find some, improve upon them if it's worth it to you.

>sorry you feel that way, wish you all the best
this is the most beta shit I've ever heard, just cut off contact

Also this, for starters in order to get the confidence needed you should go out with girls that you don't like or are indifferent about - just so you can learn how social dynamics work.

Never start as her friend. Always be in that gray zone - 'he's not really a stranger, but he's not really a friend'.

Appear busy. Women love men who don't care about them, and remember in every relationship there is a settler and a reacher.

You're gonna want to make it look like you're the one who settled. Relationships with women especially are much like poker - you have to learn how to bluff, fake confidence when you've got a shit hand and appear calm when you have a royal flush.

what are cities worth visiting in slovakia except for bratislava? don't worry not trying to stalk you m8 :^)

I think you underestimate women

You have to be really good at faking it. Most women can smell a beta from a mile a way. From the way you stand, move, talk, look at her, anything

Sure you can fake it till you make it but it will take some time

Honestly couldn't tell ya user. I think it's low selfesteem in regards to my lack of upper body strength because I'm pretty sure I wouldn't hesitate to shoot or stab someone.

Maybe it's the fear that I wouldn't be able to end things with my fists and any brawl would end with me losing because of that.

Does anyone have tips to get productive? I'm having trouble getting motivated and I've always had trouble getting work done at home (or during "leisure hours")

I'm already:
>eating well
>sleeping/waking at appropriate hours

I'm going to start:
>nofap, I think it's a meme but I don't have much to lose by trying

Košice

>Most women can smell a beta from a mile a way. From the way you stand, move, talk, look at her, anything
and I'm supposed to be a sperg, wew lad

Pfft hardly.

You can also just cut off contact but it's good to not burn every bridge you build.

Leaving on a positive note leaves a small window open for her to establish contact again if she has a change of heart.

How is that beta. It's improving your chances of getting laid. Who knows how many women men have missed out on because they sperged out after getting rejected. Being a nice to people goes a long way.

i see. then it really depends on the situation. if it's just some fat or skinny bitch you have to deal with then you should be fine. but if they have a beyond average physique and you don't have any weapons then you better be fast to make the first hit and run. better than risking him fucking you up.

you really have to work on that issue or it will haunt you all the time. sparring hit the sandbag. do it. best of luck m8

It's not a roach saying, it's from jesus

Means that you don't seclude yourself from the rest of the society but don't get affected by them. Move through and interact with them without getting corrupted. Also hide your power level. History is full of examples of those who didn't hide their power levels

>88

check'd and thanks

since you had a president with croatian roots, would i be easier accepted by slovaks as in socialising?

I'm not talking about being beta. If you are a beta, you stand no chance. But if you refuse to play by the rules of alpha, beta, omega and so on and just have an attitude of 'fuck it i'm great and desirable' and TRULY believe that, you're gonna exude it in every gesture, every smile, every eye-contact, every hand-shake.

Betas are the guys who want to be alphas. And all they do is wait and want. Refuse to play by the rules of classification of male behavior.

Have enough balls to say what you want, do what you want and take shit from no one.

By the way, you're right. Women are intuitive. But crazy as this existence is, the prettier the woman, the more she wants to be treated like shit. Because women fall for SPECIAL. Getting her ass kissed and her pussy put on pedestal is ORDINARY.

Putting her in her place is SPECIAL, and once she falls in love with you, she'll believe you're one in a million and that you don't actually care about trivial things like women, thus coming to the conclusion that you've always 'had it' with women.

That's what I'm talking about when I say 'fake it'. I made a mistake, this is not faking it, this is making it your own way.

Scooby (the bald guy) helps a lot if you want to start lifting
Paul Zaichnik for stretch
Bas Rutten great dvd of combat is great, when i was in martial arts we did almost everything that he shows in his dvd

I'm predicting some dindu protests on my campus this weekend because I just saw a pack of police officers stop a couple niggers in a car, all with guns drawn. Not sure how that ended.

Have you tried any "vegan" pre-workouts? I think theres one called vega with no caffeine.

Doesn't do shit for me but if you're caffeine sensitive it's alright

Been lifting for about 15 years myself off and on. Just came off about 2 years of straight lifting and just quit one day. Caught a cold and just faded away. That was four months ago. I've lost so much gains in that time. Makes me sad as fuck, but I don't have the motivation to start again.

I get home from work and I just wanna plop on the couch, drink beer, smoke weed, and play vidya till bedtime.

Can threads like this become daily? I love this! Very useful.

may i ask which state you are from and how the gun laws work there?

since i'm in germany i have no other way to get a "weapons card" but going to a sports shooting club or hunting club. and even then it's not allowed to carry around loaded and secured.

How do I stay motivated when I am lazy as fuck.

>if she has a change of heart
>How is that beta
>It's improving your chances of getting laid
>Being a nice to people goes a long way.
Because the alpha bro is going to be wrecking that pussy before she's all like one day "oh wait i'm 40 I want someone to love me", I don't know how you came to the conclusion that being the second pick for someone is a good thing

yes

Thanks for the explanation

>History is full of examples of those who didn't hide their power levels
Do you have examples ?

I have trouble with this too unless I'm inherently interested in the task at hand. Some band-aid solutions that work for me are trying to force an interest, whether by learning more about the relevant topic until something clicks or by relating it in some way to an inherent interest (for example I managed to become truly interested in rap by relating it to my natural interest in improvisation in jazz, which only occurred to me after research into the roots of rap in improvised speechifying to a backbeat), or reading something that fills me with motivational rage, eg. if I needed to write an essay on Trump I'd open up Gawker or something and read until I close my browser in righteous fury and tear into the snarky, vapid criticisms offered up.

Most effective for me personally is to learn how something is useful for my larger ambitions, then it comes pretty naturally. I'd like to have an axe, but I ain't buying one til there's wood to be chopped.

Be more specific about your problem. In general though, make sure you're eating right and sleeping at appropriate hours.

why would that help?

> How does one stop fapping
Become older than 25, get hobbies and interests (other than Sup Forums and Sup Forums) so you do not have the time to think about boobs

it was MSU, Michigan is the world's third largest armed force (deer hunters) so gun laws are pretty lax for a blue state. Show up to a store, present your id, submit for a background check, come back in a week and pick up your firearm as long as you're not a felon.

Also, the dindu's didn't have guns that I saw.

Jesus that's obviously not what I'm talking about, her contacting you in 20 years because you were nice to her...

My point is women are fickle creatures. They impulsive and emotional. I'm saying that leaving the window of contact open she could change her mind about you. Maybe she was having a bad day when you asked her out, maybe she was on the rag, who fucking knows. Point is she could reject you and the next day she realizes she fucked up.

You literally have nothing to lose from taking rejection with a smile.

Mansur Al-Hallaj, a sufi mystic, said "En-el Hak" which means "I'm God", "I'm truth". Of course he meant that All is One and separation is just an illusion. However shitskinned desert dwellers of the time saw this as heresy and thought he was declaring his godhood. Let's read the rest from kikepedia:

>He was first punched in the face by his executioner, then lashed until unconscious, and then decapitated[10][11] or hanged.[6] Witnesses reported that Al-Hallaj's last words under torture were "all that matters for the ecstatic is that the Unique should reduce him to Unity,"

Normies hate the truth, this was always the case throughout the history. One should always be careful about when to speak and when to keep silent

Veľký Meďer and Dunajská Streda for baths and relaxation, their villages if you want to eat until and get along with the traditionalst (read:alcoholic) locals.
Ružomberok's villages for landscape same goes for Tatra.
Hlohovec if you want whores.
Komárno if you want to see and at laugh at millanials with worthless degrees, same goes for Bratislava.

generally just stay away from East. Last time I heard there live some tanned cavemen. Don't forget when you are in the forest (where you shouldn't be in the first place) the trees cut in chest-height, and missing copper cables are the signs of the rurals living there.
Just don't forget to try out sweets and kompots and treska maybe. Especially the kompots.

And I don't worry about stalkers, I'm already dead inside.
