I generally find in these discussions that the people who say you have to push hard don’t actually train all that hard and that the people who say you have to go easier train harder than people expect them to, and in reality the people actually progressing are all training around the same intensity levels, just with differing perspectives about it.
Don’t have sex.
At all…
So, the philosophy student in me is curious; what ARE these other virtues?
Strength, courage, mastery, and honor.
What makes those virtues?
I started asking questions back but deleted.
I make these virtues, and there are others, because that is how I see them to be in my mind. I understand that a person can have an opinion that one or maybe none of these are virtues. A person has the free will to place what they want as their own personal virtue list.
Those who don’t agree with me that those are virtues of a man, are wrong though.
This is actually a pretty interesting debate in the philosophical topic to discuss as well, haha.
I remember you talking about free will somewhere in here before.
I assigned the “free will” to a person’s thoughts. This makes any arguments invalid .
Poof… mind control
That MAY have been me, but it’s not a topic I discuss much. Mainly because the arguments against free will are very sound but it’s not a fun thing to think about. The theory of relativity really put a damper on things that way.
-Aerobic Exercise. This doesn’t always mean steady state cyclic cardio machines and the gym. There are a bazillion studies and anecdotal evidence that show MODERATE aerobic exercise (no heavy breathing) has numerous health benefits from increase mitochondria content in the heart and muscles, hormonal balance, prevention of Parkinson’s and cancer and has a profound effect on cognitive health.
-Strength Training. It doesn’t necessarily mean lifting weights, but maintaining and increasing strength has a great effect on bone density, maintaining and increasing muscle mass, and hormonal balance.
-Movement. This doesn’t mean stretching or mobility, it means being able to move the way you are supposed to. Using the proper movement chains/patterns, reducing tension, firing the proper muscles for each movement all play a part. If you can’t get out of bed and run fast without a warm up you need to ask yourself why. Kids don’t need to warm up, animals don’t need to warm up. What happens to humans over time that causes them to require a warm up?

Relativity yes, but quantum mechanics leaves the door wide open for free will. Those electron spins are so inconsistent.
Bill gates,looks pretty weak
mark the facebook guy looks pretty weak
when dealing with threads like this
you read a persons goal
hope their definitions of terms are the same as yours
try to give information that leads to their goals
hope they ask questions
answer them
and remember their goals may not be the same as yours
so how you train may have no bearing on how they should train
You don’t see the connection to my point with these two statements?
no ,i do not see your point
i do not believe a man has to be physically strong to be a good man
mentally strong yes
Lots of cultures make you do something tough before you’re considered a man.
Like it’s part of the process.
Lifting is cool because if you’re good at it (mastery/self control?) you look diesel and people know right away. I could be the world’s best Gardner, but my mastery wouldn’t be so apparent.
What makes Mark Zuckerberg a good man?
What makes you think your two examples are virtuous?
Or any man for that matter.
Or, what makes a man a bad person?
I beileve that we should be doing something along those lines with our males in this country.
