I've managed to lift, meditate and study everyday for 2 months now...

Learn more about lifting instead of only what's in the /fit/ sticky.

>he wasn't lifting long before Yea Forums was even a website
kek you have no idea what you're doing

>being 40
kek you have no idea what you're doing

go outside, exhaust your body, detach yourself from your iphone and then little things like jerking off and drinking will be easy to get rid of.

you can still indulge in those, but do it at the end of the day, rather than starting your day with things that is literally fucking you up mentally

i also struggle with both of these and have been helping myself a lot this summer cycling around

I don't know man, lifting 7 days per week doesn't sound like a good idea, unless you're working out with very a light weight.

meditation is for retarded roasties, much like yoga

Fight Club's a fun one.

i'm paid to shitpost here

You need time to rest for the muscles to build back up stronger.
Excercising everyday will fuck you up.

t. Never tried it before

Materialist sheep, repent

Read the mind illuminated. To start just commit to doing 10 mins every 10, focusing on your breath with your eyes facing down and shut, noticing when your mind wanders and gently bringing it back. Then start doing more and more each week

>lost 15 pounds in the last couple months and haven't jerked off in 2 days
Lads I don't know if I'm going to make it through tomorrow
Meditate for me

If only i could keep my mind from wandering off
I would probably be a billionare

>DUDE IM AN INCEL WHO CANT BE BOTHERED IMPROVING HIMSELF SO I HAVE A FRAIL PASTICHE OF HUMOUR TO ACT AS A SHEILD AGAINST MY OWN INADEQUACY IN THE FACE OF THINGS I WISH I HAD THE WILLPOWER TO DO!
Start working out, start reading philosophy, start meditating. It’s not mystical at all, it’s reprogramming your subconscious though repeated effort.

>DUDE I HAVE THE ATTENTION SPAN OF A RETARDED GOLDFISH SO THAT MEANS MEDITATION IS BULLSHIT!!!!

Clearly you are a well adjusted individual of high intellect.

Well then train your mind via meditation friend

and what's the difference? between zoning out on the bike and zoning out in front of the computer?

Oh wow, you checked all of the "Generic Self Help Faggot Guru Advice" boxes. You're so fucking cool.

Maybe they are generic because they work retard. If you want to be intellectual, healthy and have increased awareness and insight about your brain (be ubermensch) these are the starting concepts

He said it, physical exertion/exhaustion
We're not meant to sit still all day

"meditation" is just "relaxation". you're not better off from it than from jacking it, only difference is the placebo effect. which, if anything, makes it worse - fooling you into thinking you're doing something positive and beneficial when you're just masturbating in a different form

>be ubermensch

Yes, which means zoning out. Your body huffs and puffs away for those hours while your mind's off somewhere else sure as shit not paying attention to being exhausted.

You are genuinely a brainlet. You clearly know fuck all about it, yet feel compelled to make uneducated comments like this. God I hate pseuds. Obviously repeated attention and effort is going to change how your mind works over a long period of time, it has been PROVEN to raise IQ, something you clearly need. Maybe be more open minded instead of accepting your narrow retarded views based on very little knowledge as truth

Even breathing exercises can help relax people, meditation is not far off from that and has clear benefits. Not sure why you're sperging out over something you don't understand.

Yeah thanks, I know, I just have trouble maintaining a consistent effort with all this stuff, I'll be good for a week then I'll slide back into the muck. But tomorrow is a new day.

Only if you are weak, when I’m running or lifting my mind is 100% on the sensations in my body and the excercise itself, it important for improving

Physical exertion is clearly much different, PHYSICALLY. Good god, you brainlets don't even try.

Mental exertion exists

And it's not the same as physical exertion. What are you trying to imply here user?

yeah there's a lot of righteousness, buzzwords, and attempts at social shaming related to medication. standard cultish shit. not a lot of EVIDENCE it does anything, however, other than, again, exactly the same things that you get out of just sitting there NOT MEDITATING for the same amount of time.

Yes and dont forget to charge your crystals in the moonlight to keep your vibrations in check.

>Maybe be more open minded instead of accepting your narrow retarded views based on very little knowledge as truth

lmao says the fucking new age hippie tard

Look at all the stuff nobody mentioned, you are projecting and defensive as fuck. Maybe just give meditation a try instead of lashing out in defence of your own idleness. This post feels like it’s meant to convince yourself more than us

Of course your focus is in it when lifting, you have to focus on that, and lifting is actually good for you. Shit like jogging or cycling or whatever for hours you're not paying attention to at all, and all it does is wear out your joints and ligaments while your mind's 100% on putting one foot in front of the other and then suddenly two hours have gone by.

put that attention and effort into something productive. Get a hobby.

Scientifically proven to raise IQ. Stay the worthless subhuman incel you are, doesn’t bother me

is lying all you know how to do?

I hope you fucking die in a car crash.

Fucking dumbass. Meditation is how you gain effort and attention. I do way more with my life than you, I can guarantee that. Maybe don’t get so defensive and work on your own situation

nothing raises IQ

my shoulder makes weird clicking noises and it hurts to extend it too far back and to do push ups
shit sucks mang

>tfw can't say sober for more than 3 days
I'm not gonna make it

If you want to really change your life and develop self-discipline you need to start exercising, meditating and practicing IF.

Eat only in the morning, do some type of physical activity when you done and meditate for 30 minutes right after. You can't do shit and follow a plan because you don't lift, because your mind is always too active, and because you're simultaneously tired from digesting food non-stop and having too much energy to burn from all the food you've eaten.

Give your body fuel in the morning and manage it throughout the day. And remember to eat good stuff, lots of protein and lots of vegetables.

>lift, study, meditate
Jesus. The absolute state of nu-males these days. Let me guess, you study Jordan Peterson and lift Joe Rogan endorsed kettle bells

You can really see the mental shields and aggression people put out when they feel inadequate here. I hope you guys find the effort to do something with your lives instead of seething about people improving themselves on here.

I stayed sober for 30 days then it was my birthday so I drank 30 beers

This is literally just wrong. Stay ignorant brainlet

>Eat only in the morning

As in that's the only food you have for the entire day? How much are we talking about? Like just a normal sized meal or a single huge one?

>I do way more with my life than you
>Dont be so defensive
Lmao

It's ok, i can't stay sober for 1 day

>the mere thought of improving themselves leads the incel into a state of panic and rage

>eating before working out
>eating before meditating

doing it wrong imo
working out sucks on a full stomach and so does meditation

Congratulations user.

Red Dragon or even better read the book

crepitus is perfectly normal and doesn't necessarily indicate a problem. probably nocebo, unless you've seen a professional about it. personally, I got horrible crepitus in my knees and it caused me tons of pain and made me squat less and less as the pain got worse, until I started reading up on it and the nocebo effect. then I started putting more weight on the bar again and the pain just went away on its own. maybe I got better, or maybe it was just all in my head. but whatever it was, it went away, and I still got my crepitus so that wasn't it.

but ofc I don't know shit about you so you might have a real problem, but clicking and pain alone doesn't mean you do. mind is really good at playing tricks on you.

t. low iq in denial

As many meals as you want in a window of, say, 4 to 6 hours. You can even have a bigger window at first, like eating during the first half of the day. Then you stop eating for good.

Eat whatever you want, just make sure to add enough protein and vegetables besides the food you like, and drink a lot of water throughout the day. If you ever feel shitty it's probably due to a mineral defficiency, and you could try supplementing them.

Karate Kid

Just curious if this whole bizarre subculture of ‘everyone look at me I’m doing things’ arose simply because of the internet. Back before I was a boomer you just done shit and changed, not shout and boast about it

what kind of left wing fag are you?

what do you mean keep you motivated?
if you've been doing it daily for 2 months it should be a habit now.

I'm not sure, one time I was reaching backwards for a rebound while playing basketball and felt like something went out of place. I had to stop playing. It makes all kinds of noises when I hold my like in pic related and feels real weak like something is going to give.

/soc/ this is not

Well done brother, keep up the good work!

Lmfao y'all are getting roasted, sorry to say, but this guy is right. Meditation at this point is for 'spiritually awakened' roastoids and onions betas who have nothing productive going on in their lives. It's people who overthink nothing in order to feel better about themselves and smug over others. It's like they think meditation will magically solve everything wrong within their lives. Depressed? OH let's meditate and fill my head with nothing useful and get even more depressed! All you need to do is exercise, read, and socialize, that will solve all the problems your meditation is supposed to

reading is jewish. Books should be burned.

I don't deny that people like that exist, but meditation has been proven to be beneficial to both body and mind. Deny that all you want, it ain't gonna change the facts.

Could you be any more of a fag?

What makes you think people only meditate to solve problems? Meditation isn't about reaching a goal because then your mind would be focused on the future instead of the present--which is what meditation is all about.

Based user keep it up. I'd recommend something but I don't watch tv

welp. time to start meditating.

Alan Watts said if you're meditating with a goal/to improve yourself, you're a retarded zoomer and should be shot on sight.

You are projecting. The only reason YOU would meditate is to inflate your ego, so that must mean everybody must be like that.

I was walking a dog once a few years ago and noticed my arm felt weird. That night I was reaching up into a cabinet and it felt like my arm slipped backward or some shit. My scapula started to stick out and the arm would still give that same slipping feeling. I did some therapy type moves with it and eventually started working out. It doesn't stick out now and doesn't hurt or hinder my functioning, but it has never felt quite right and I can tell it moves funny compared to my other arm in certain motions. Does your scapula move strangely or do you ever get that same "slipping" sensation, like the arm is sliding backwards? I wonder if some nerve got pinched in my arm and some small muscle is paralyzed or some shit.

ITT copes

good job user. i've been slipping lately, gained some weight and been drinking a lot. I went from a skelly to normal so it's not a big deal, but i still feel bad about myself.
