You cause suffering. That isn’t objectively bad of course.

I would go for around 1g of protein / pound of bodyweight. You don’t need more then that. Eating at maintenance would increase muscle building but you can still easily build muscle with 28% on a cut. After 2 months or so of dieting (depending how hardcore it was) I would always do a diet break for about a month where you eat at maintenance to reduce hunger and to increase fat loss later. Your training is already good for muscle building. High frequency is especially important on a cut but it’s also good for building muscle. I would only change things up if you did this exact plan for a long time or you disliked some of the exercises. Make sure to do a light training week every 6 weeks or so where you recover and resensitize your muscles for future growth.

@2xj_m You forgot calves Besides that this sounds like an excellent workout regime to me. Because you stimulate pretty much all muscles 3 times a week it’s perfect for maintaining muscle. If you want to maintain muscle frequent short sessions are best.

Okay if you are 28% bodyweight your body likes to loose that fat so preserving muscle is easy. Does emphasis mean you only train the muscles you mentioned or just more? If you stimulate muscles multiple times a week (even its the same volume as with less frequency) it’s easier to maintain them. With 1.5 years on and off and not optimal training you likely haven’t even gotten all of your newbie gains so maintaining muscle is a lot easier. 7 hours isn’t optimally but it’s okay. Honestly I think you could get away with something like 0.6g protein / pound of bodyweight because it’s relatively easy for you to maintain muscle because of your muscle composition even in a deficit. I am not a nutritionist or anything but from all the information I gathered from fitness YouTubers over the years that would probably be the consensus.

@2xj_m You are asking a specific question without mentioning the specific circumstances so it’s not possible to answer that. -You say you are cutting, how big is the calorie deficit? -How much bf do you have? -How much do you weight train? If you are stimulating muscles multiple times a week the body has more of an incentive to keep the muscle (although too much is also counterproductive because the body needs protein for recovery) ? -How many years have you been training? -Sleep/Stress All of these factors are important and influence how much protein you need to keep your muscles. But muscle memory is a thing. Even if you loose a bit of muscle it’s not hard to get it back.

I share tinder highlights with friends on a discord server which is where I collected them from. And I found them myself. I am not making generalizations I just wanted to prove my point with some examples that there are some girls like that. I see quite a lot of ass and tits on tinder they can’t be all fake bot profiles. Sure you don’t want one of them as a gf, maybe even casual sex is to much. lol I have to watch out for that

Got some funny examples for ya: And quite a lot also say it directly in their description.

Okay I said that wrong. You can leave some hints in your dating profile which make it relatively obvious that you only want sex. Like a shirtless picture on the beach, not too much smiling, maybe a funny slightly sexual profile description that leaves a hint and all of these little hints combined make a pretty clear message without ever saying it directly. Also I see quite a lot of girls on tinder that say directly that they only want sex.

Have you thought about dating apps? You could make it clear there that you only want sex so there wouldn’t be any misunderstanding and as you said you have the looks for it.

You are expecting the girls to be selfless towards you which is a selfish thing to do because that would mean that all the emotional work is done by the girls. If you fuck a girl and she builds romantic feelings for you and you reject that then she will be hurt and hold you as a negative fuckboy in her mind. Your intentions aren’t bad that you just want sex without hurting anyone but it’s so against the girls interest to see that that she will rather hate you.

Similar situation here but we are only like 60 people so when I fuck up its way worse. Is it that bad if the community finds out you are a f*ckboy? I mean the girls who want serious relationships would avoid you and the ones who also just want quick sex would stay. That might be even better for you. On the other side communities probably don’t like guys who sleep around so you might get shamed for it. But it’s a stage green place so you might get away with it more easily.

For full transparency I made a mind map with all the psychedelics I was/am taking. I thought he would appreciate my honest, WTF was I thinking ? He allowed me to take the backdoor so I could quietly sneak out so that other people couldn’t see that I was sent back and therefore couldn’t shame me. I am so incredible responsible and unashamed of taking drugs .. that was one hell of a collision with society. But the only ones I take regularly are only lsd and psylocibin microdoses. He didn’t even look those up. But I feel like they can’t be that bad, that they aren’t even look-up-worthy. 2x 5mg lsd a week..

I take psychedelics and sometimes modafinil. I have my first consultation next Monday. Will they take my blood?

It’s a very long story which I won’t cover. But I basically told her very directly that I was into her and got rejected because she has a bf and also thought I just wanted sex but later found out I actually had romantic interest. From there she sent me a lot of hints that she still wants more from me. The thing is that I just want realtalk from her but I don’t know if there are girls who are just incapable of doing that. She seems to run on autopilot and I do everything very consciously. That’s why I want realtalk while she drops signs. Am I expecting to much or should I go on?

In a bad state of mind I set up a hyper-needy-super-serious-mentality-self-abasement-cringe-bomb at the start which everybody in my theatre found out about and which traumatized my little self confidence. So I can’t be easy going around her anymore because I am too butthurt.

I am not allowed to spend blood even if I just microdose. Who would have thought lol.

@NoSelfSelf Its a long story as I said. So that shit went on for quite some time so it’s not like we are strangers. We went to the adventure park, theatre and shit like that together. So I just feel like it’s her move to be explicit or at least tell one of her friends to ask me explicitly. But maybe all that shows that we are like cats and dogs to each other and can’t communicate.

So what is it? Its complicated. I rejected many of her tries bc I didn’t feel like it/ wanted realtalk. Yeah. Well she is 23 so it’s not that young.

Alex from AlphaDestiny is a salesmen when it comes to exercises. He sells exercises everybody already knows and does as if they were the new magic pill. The exercises he shows aren’t bad it’s just that even with great exercises you won’t be able to magically progress. His genius is rather to identify certain muscle groups like traps, forearms, neck, glutes and shoulders as very important for a muscular looking physique while others ignore those muscles and miss out.

It highly depends on genetics. I haven’t hit any of those strength marks and I have trained seriously for a long time.

Only if you are an absolute beginner.

Oh okay. Well if it works for you it’s fine I guess. You could also do Romanian or Stiffed Legged Deadlifts as an alternative to vanilla deadlifts which will Hammer the hamstrings even more but require less load in case you ever run into trouble. Leg Press Hack Squats Lunges Whatever works best for you.

I wouldn’t train squats and deadlifts in the same workout because I would fear that my core and lower back won’t be able to handle it and I injure myself. Otherwise what exactly do you want to focus on? Quads, hamstrings, glutes? You already train all of these muscles with squats and deadlifts roughly equally I would say but of course muscle activation varies from person to person.

No. Integral said it wouldn’t be that hard but I easily give up so maybe I should just ask someone on Fiverr to do it for me. There are so many things I would need to implement to make it great like being able to add other softwares like steam that aren’t in the browser, making the software undeletable, time plans, special passwords, blocking other browser, … the list goes on. But I think just a basic version for chrome is already good enough to get started. That would be a dream. I would love to be an inventor! Yeah, I have to get into a good mindset for that. Oh shoot. I think I will define a small goal which I won’t try to under- or overshoot so that this doesn’t happen to me. I can always add more. Thanks for your motivation!

There are already a handful of productivity apps and web extensions that can be used to block or limit ones time on unproductive things. They are good but for them to be really practical they need an extra feature which I call time account. Let’s say I set a timer of one hour a day for YouTube, Netflix, Disney+ combined. That’s good but sometimes I want to watch an 2 hour movie which is fine as long as it is occasionally. Or sometimes I don’t feel like using up the whole hour but maybe I feel dragged to use it anyway because I would feel like I would have wasted my precious Youtube time. So the solution the "time account“ should solve this situation. It works like that. On days when you don’t use up the whole time, let’s say you use only 30min instead of 60min this time will be added to your account the next day. So you can save up enough time for whatever you want to watch. I would also add a lot of side features that would polish this idea even more like the ability to add a time saving plan, the ability to limit ones saved time (for example 5 hours) and the ability to make the saved time less valueable (for example 30min saved is only 20min on the time account). The last two features are there for people who can’t find a good balance. Analogous to people who only eat chicken, rice and brokkoli 5 times a week and then eat a bunch of junk at the weekend which is way worse then allowing yourself a bit of junk every day. What do you think of the idea? Has someone already made it? How much effort/money do you think would it take to build a blocker with these extra features?
