Another time, later. I said I misremembered and it was actually Jeff Neeples. So Mr. Mike gimpsuit technique, I see. So lifting heavy shit is good? Nope. Never had that. Always done deadlifts, and it is fatiguing yes, but not "CNS fatiguing" (whatever that is) and I continue with the rest of the workout until I'm truly fatigued. This honestly sounds like some hallucination or fantasy you've cooked up. Regardless, this is conjecture, and I'm being deliberate in word choice here. If you have a way to measure CNS fatigue and you have demonstrated a difference for high weight low reps vs low weight high reps, that's science. If you explain behavior or results in other variables by pointing to a theoretical concept of CNS fatigue, that's something else; it's conjecture. Conjecture doesn't mean always bullshit, but if you have no way of measuring it, it can very much be bullshit.

IMO the problem with realism in games is that once you are an adult you can just go and live life. GTA/RDR was fun when I was 12-17. After getting my driver's license and a car, I could have more freedom. Same again at 18. GTA 5 was great but not as immersive as RDR1 and combat/driving were not as fun as GTA 4. After turning 18, I had no interest in GTA type games, because I had the freedom to fully immerse myself in adult life. On a side note... A beloved game from my childhood was Voodoo Vince.. an early Xbox exclusive with fascinating locations and gameplay mechanics with a bohemian/tarot/voodoo/thriller/jazz/comedy elements... Hard to describe but plenty of YT videos around. Amazing soundtrack too.

Ukraine & Russia have almost identical mentality (although a lot of Ukrainians are trying to draw distinctions because of the brutal aggression from Russia). I can easily connect with women from Eastern Europe or Latin America, but I can't connect with North American women. There is a huge wall of cultural difference, mentality, childhood experiences and values. My ex girlfriend was 8/10 and she was from Brazil. She took my heart because she was stunning and had a very simple and down to earth personality, nothing artificial. She also faced the same challenges in her upbringing and adulthood so it was easy for me to connect with her.

@Carl-Richard I edited my original comment so much could you please reply to that one? Sorry. I can answer parts of your answer though. Well you quoted Dr Mike directly. If you want to critique him in such a major way then it should be accurate. Well I dont train nowhere near whats optimal for hypertrophy, I train in a way thats optimal for hypertrophy but do a few sets. Well I heard somewhere that grip strength is incredibly important for longevity. Oftentimes you cant find perfect 1 to 1 comparisons. But alright I agree, Eddie is significantly stronger. You know when you hit a some heavy sets of deadlifts and you have zero interest in continuing the workout as you just feel washed. Your muscles could continue but your system just doenst want to go anymore? Thats what I mean. There are also more scientific explanations out there which I cant provide tbh

Check your internal reasons

I think that death is the end of subjective experience. I remember Leo saying in one of his old video- Nothing will remain even black and white will be gone. But I could be wrong. And I am open to the possibility of altering my view . -
Yes.

@Shermaningeorgia I also have those feelings and what I have realized that if you trace back your feelings to their origin then bunch of thoughts will come. As described in modern Psychology thoughts create feelings and vice-versa. With that being said try altering those thoughts via challenging the validity of those thoughts and then your negative feelings will transform into happiness. Further if you trace those thoughts they can come from past negative experiences and in that case you can either externalise those experiences or focus on the positive experiences that you had with the opposite gender.

Having a little insomnia, most likely because of the large amounts of sodium ascorbate I'm taking (1g every 3 hours for 3+days) It's 3 AM and I've been awake since 6AM. Sleeping around 5h or less for the past week, and I'm feeling surprisingly alert and energetic, idk if I'll eventually crash.

This is a old interview of a girl relating her witness of horrendous things in a house. Maybe not exactly the Island but to show that the derangement is deeper and darker. -
Watching a movie because you heard about it from others that it's a good movie. Copying self-help speakers in order to sound smart and not thinking by oneself.

Thanks for reminding me of this thread I may send an update later

The video said Eddie's bench max was 496 lbs without mentioning reps, meanwhile: Eddie Hall Bench Presses 496 Pounds for 10 Reps https://barbend.com/eddie-hall-bench-496-pounds/ 10 fucking reps. 🥲 Fuck AI

My guy, 3 - 5 reps was me sloppily saying the "range" for the lowest amount of reps, not the range for all reps. And I don't give a fuck about Dr. Mike. Jeff Shniples said it. I think the entire "science" is unclear. That's "science-based lifting" for you. But an appeal to laziness is not an argument: ask ChatGPT for studies showing 3 reps = anything above. Nothing longevity about doing 5 billion sets per muscle per week or whatever insane number is "optimal" in Dr. Mikensteins book. What's your take on grip strength = longevity? 1. He is not almost as strong. That AI slop video you posted compared sometimes random training videos rather than competition numbers and sometimes different rep ranges (wtf); anyways, Eddie 3x-8xed the reps for all those cases (and what's the point of comparing a 900 lb 1 RM with a 761 lb 8 rep set?). As for the one rep maxes, with the exception of bench (which I doubt even the accuracy of considering the AI slop-level production but which Eddie still won), Eddie always dwarfed Larry, especially the deadlift: 425kg vs 500kg, that's a 15% difference. And 500kg is not even the world record anymore. All in all, Larry always lost where the comparisons made sense, and generally with great to epic margins. 2. You're just vibing these descriptions ("almost as muscular", "almost as strong"), nothing objective about them. I need a citation for this because it sounds like bullshit conjecture. How do you measure "CNS fatigue"? I've heard "CNS fatigue" being used for inhuman levels of volume (not citing a study here).

Watching cartoons can produce genuine awakening. That's not the issue. The issue is whether it is efficient, and you can know the answer to that question by just looking at the people in those programs. Do any of them look or sound Awake to you? -
I was not talking about dogma in general but was just responding about the theory called - The Central Dogma of Molecular Biology. As per nano motors the idea seems cool but already there exists nanoparticles which can be used for drug delivery into the cells even though the field is not fully developed and therefore strong evidence is required for this field.

Some of the steps seem fine. I don't think you have to admit wrong doings or ask for forgiveness. Surrendering yourself to higher power seems good and forgiving others and yourself is important but you only have to do it in your own mind. You can just say my soul is infinitely intelligent when it fucks up it does so on purpose and now it wants to change and I will surrender my life to what its doing and what it has done. It might not trigger a spiritual awakening that you want. I find when most people surrender to a higher power they just make up that Jesus saves them without having a spiritual experience. What you are trying to do with forgiveness is to stop schizophrenically attacking yourself and others in your own mind. Everytime a negative thought comes up about you or someone else either say I forgive you or ask the person in your mind to forgive you. When your mind is saved from all the arguments you will stop thinking. Then God can suck you out. -
Ask questions. Keep questioning🤍 integrate past failures❤️

Yes, it’s a transition. You always wake up into a story. I once had a dream where I was being chased and I jumped off a cliff into water, but it was so high there was no way I was going to survive, so instead of landing in water, I landed in pure blackness. While I was there, I thought there was no way out but then I realized the dream wasn’t over if I didn’t want it to be. So I turned the emptiness into water and rose out of it. “What was it like before I was born?” and “What will it be like when I die?” are the same question. Also, if you have experience with anesthesia, that’s helpful. -
I would like to have investigation into the matter of whether 12 step programs like alcoholics anonymous can produce genuine spiritual awakening. Anybody here have personal experience? -
Get a few beers in you and u will be much looser. Do not want to bring your baggage with women don't care. Especially if they're at a bar. Just be confident in yourself. Like you said they can smell a lack of confidence and self esteem issues a mile away.
