This is accurate, IMO.
But better yet, get “addicted.” You will make it work regardless!
If it is too difficult, you don’t want it bad enough.
That said, from my experience, getting to about 10% body fat can be achieved without giving up much of your social life, apart from things you put in your mouth. From my experience, everything lower than 10% body fat, you pretty much suffer alone, except for those close to you. You could lose them if your “addiction” is bad enough to prioritize it over your loved ones.
(A necessary qualifier: You need to make time to sleep at least 7 hours, IMO.)
You can absolutely stay up until 3 AM with a girl and then get after it the next day. You just don’t want to that badly right now - especially if one late night is “4 days” off.
It’s okay to not want to much when you’re young and interested in chasing girls. In your log, for example - you talk about deserving to be shamed for slacking on your routine, then you immediately say “but I’m seeing a girl later so I’m not training legs”.
I would say, you don’t deserve to be shamed, you should just come to terms with the fact that you need to want it more than you do now. If you did, you’d smash legs first and then head elsewhere for other smashings.
I haven’t seen your age anywhere either, so if you’re in your 20’s you should be able to work yourself to the brink of death and “perform” after 30 minutes rest and a quick shower (maybe less).
The good news is, once you can admit that you need to want it more, you’ll have a clear path to success.
I always liked this quote. We all have circumstances and choices to make. We also have free will to do whatever we want. I hope you find a way to balance the ladies and the iron. I’m lucky enough to have a partner that will do things like speed-read me the macros on the evening meals she cooks that we eat together.
Are you aware of how much progress this is?! Supposing you did too much and achieved this so quickly, do you believe you’d gain even more if you did less? We can’t be sure, but clearly you didn’t do so much it hindered results.
That looks like typical upper-lower split. Barbell and dumbbell rows might have been redundant.
I felt I was progressing but I felt really tired all the time. Not like physically tired like mentally tired. Id get headaches during squats for example and it wouldn’t go for hours. It felt like once I was done I just didn’t want to do anything but sleep. Should probably add I am coming off a 2 year lay off from any activity due to chronic back pain that is now at a manageable level. My fitness is just generally shambolic.
Sounds like you are tired after any kind of physical activity. Training for 1 hour a day should not leave you exhausted. It may be that you just need time to adjust to the new training program. The more consistent you are with your training you should find you become accustomed to it and other than some muscle soreness which you get used to, you should not feel tired.
What type of physical condition are you in? It sounds to me like you need to work on your general physical preparedness (GPP). Maybe consider reducing the time spend lifting weights a little and increasing the amount if conditioning work.
The issue is its not just one woman and its all non exclusive sort of stuff so I can’t really turn stuff down without it being a sleight, obv different setup with a wife or long term gf.
This might sound like a weird as fuck question but can lots of cumming in one night cause extreme tiredness? Say like if you cum 4 times is that going to do something bad to your testosterone levels or like muscles ability to work properly?
Thanks for the videos, just going through them now. I just watched one of his videos on volume to try and understand the concept of intensity v volume a bit better.
lol. I don;t really get the redpill stuff. I am a fat short balding weird looking man and I find it pretty easy to get women by just making eye contact, being nice and making them laugh. Seeing these 6 foot 1 motherfuckers with great hair and bodies of spartans say they can;t get pussy is a psyop lol.
Again - this was me during my teenage years and early 20s so I’m 100% not judging but pay attention to patterns here. Sleeping around a bunch and prioritizing that behavior left me feeling pretty empty and depressed after a while. I’ll say again that I don’t think any of that behavior of yours is an excuse for not putting work in in the gym, but it can be part of a pretty crippling mindset, psychologically.
Im over 30 so its even more pathetic in my case. Became religious in my 20s. Stayed married then single after I divorced her, no sex outside marriage despite being bombared by exes and girls I knew. Unfortunately awhile ago I agreed to meet an ex and “just hang out” and it lead to stuff and then other girls came and now its open season and im having a really hard time not molesting every woman I see.
Theres an African market near me and ive gotten two super tall snu snu african girls numbers by just going up and chatting to them lol. Im hoping I find someone I want to marry soon. My religion allows multiple wives so its pretty chill as far as variety goes. Im into tall black girls which is hard to find where I live apart from fresh off the boat Africans.
lmao im such a degenerate retard id legitimately think I was a troll if i read this lol.
@Grool I mean this with the utmost support for you and your goals, but you should really take a look through the last couple months of posts in my log, and think about how much free time you really do have.
Life gets busy. We have dozens of men on here with professional jobs, social lives, to say nothing of family obligations. You find a way. Maybe you’re tired? I’ve been tired for years lol. I wake up tired. Is it ideal? No. But you gotta choose your priorities, and sometimes sleeps gotta to. Maybe your evenings are busy. Take a page out or @T3hPwnisher s playbook and work out at 0300. Gym closed? Buy some bare bones equipment and get after it in your house. No money? Go mow some damn lawns, idk.
If you want it, you’ll do it. If it’s too hard, that’s okay. It’s not a bad thing. This is a hobby, we do it because we want to. (Outside those mil/LEO amongst us who have a professional obligation). If you find that you value those other things more, then it is okay to just say that. At the end of the day, all we do is whatever we ultimately want to. If you want to date around and sleep 8 hours a day more then you want to train, hey, that’s the same deal 90% of the population makes. But if you want to train, then ya gotta make it a priority, even if it’s inconvenient.
