Marquas, who here is telling you what your limits are? i missed that. cannot i or anyone else discuss the possible benefit of setting realistic goals without upsetting the truly awesome and limitless members here that will keep progressing to the point of superhuman abilities just because they will it to be so?
if i believed that i was really that awesome, that i could just will myself to be whatever i want to be, i would be the happiest person in the world, and would not get so defensive when the peasants and mere mortals who have “limited” themselves speak their mind about their mundane experiences.
i would s\just skip along with my 2% body-fat on ,my 6’4" chiseled 350lb frame, winning mixed martial arts contest, banging super models with my 14inch dick, while i made more money than god whilst managing a multinational corporation, and in my part time rescuing handicapped children from burning buildings.
oh waitaminute, i forgot, this is the internet, most people here already are that awesome anyhow. [/quote]
Why limit yourself to a 14 inch dick? If you didnt set limits you could have a sixteen incher like mine:)[/quote]
did i say 14"? my mistake, what i meant is mine is whatever you say yours is plus an inch or two.

I am a natty and think I have reached my limit though my wife thinks I should go on an all out bulk

Theoretically, according to quantum mechanics a man COULD walk through a wall with a very small, but non-zero probability; however, by human perception, yes…yes, it’s quite impossible, and very safe to say we’ll never see this happen.

I am gonna start spending 4 hours every goddamn day until I walk through a wall. [/quote]
So, you need to loose as much mass as possible, the wall needs to be as thin as possible, and you need to be traveling as fast as possible.
Hope that helps. Please video the results.[/quote]
I guess it’s perspective and approach to the problem/goal.
I’ll want to get a dense/large as possible, then start with a thin wall with wide stud spacing and work up from there.
Even if it’s just a paper wall, and I walk through it, I can say “I walked through a wall” where with the “impossible” attitude, they never even bothered trying because they KNEW it couldn’t be done.
I AM a special snowflake.

I am pretty sure many years ago i felt through the air trying to learn to walk. Please send the medals.

Stop telling your body what it can’t do.
Start telling it what you want and take massive action.
You body will get the message and adapt accordingly.
Never, ever, give up on what you want.
Never, ever, impose upon yourself a limit.
Don’t even talk about limits. What possible good can come from discussing that topic?
Keep doing that till the day you die.
Who are you to determine my limits?[/quote]
We do not need to limit yourself.
You are doing it to yourself.
There are 29 planets where i did not see your entrance to compete.
Not to mention the 92 competitions on this planet you did not enter.
Keep on typing you might beat X he is quite experience in that discipline but with your mighty will, who knows?
I don’t like limiting myself either. I’ve never broken a bone. Technically I don’t know that my bones even can break. I probably have unbreakable bones. No limits. Same goes for death. Until I die, it’s not scientifically proven that I even can die. I’m probably immortal. No limits.

I’m all for realism, but does anyone think this guy would have held off an army of germans if he’d accepted that realistically he was outnumbered and should accept his fate?
No-one ever achieved the impossible without first believing they could.

What? No one achieved the impossible?
You are right they didn’t cause by definition it’s not possible…
You just deflated your own point by pointing out that Cain’s success was UNEXPECTED and UNREALISTIC but not impossible.
It’s like its extremely unlikely I will be a Mr O competitor in my lifetime, but its not impossible.
Good on you bringing history into a discussion though cause thats awesome!

Its funny you bring that up because I did think about qualifying it but I didn’t think anyone would be that awkward. Yes if you’re being pedantic then by definition the impossible cannot happen, since only what can happen does happen. However, since that is merely a weakness in the definition, the real question is what is considered impossible? Virtually all of the inventions and discoveries that we now take for granted on a daily basis were at some point considered impossible. The point is that if that was accepted as the absolute truth by all then none of those discoveries/achievements would have been made.
And I never said his situation was unrealistic. I think he faced IMPOSSIBLE odds. What’s even more amazing is he managed to shave at the end.
[/quote]
No matter how bad odds are, there is still a possibility, hence making it possible yet unlikely and not impossible
[/quote]
Repeating your first point doesn’t make it any more valid. There is a given level of probability that fits what is commonly referred to by most people as impossible.
The survivors of the German concentration camps all had the same predominant mental attitude. Everyone who was realistic about their situation never made it out alive.

And correct equals valid? 2+2=4 is that a valid point here? Stop trolling me and contribute something!

The survivors didn’t have any particular life-saving attitude. They simply didn’t die from starvation or typhus or dysentery before the Allies and Reds arrived to helped them.

I just feel that impossible is a word too often used by people these days and it’s meaning has been belittled.

Wrong. They all had hope in the face of almost certain death. The ones that accepted their fate lost the will to even try to survive. And I also think what you’re saying is pretty disrespectful towards the survivors. The survivors didn’t just get lucky, although luck played a part.
