The BASE

  1. Eat every 2-3 hours, no matter what. You should eat between 5-8 meals per day.

  2. Eat complete (containing all the essential amino acids), lean protein with each meal.

  3. Eat fruits and/or vegetables with each food meal.

  4. Ensure that your carbohydrate intake comes from fruits and vegetables. Exception: workout and post-workout drinks and meals.

  5. Ensure that 25-35% of your energy intake comes from fat, with your fat intake split equally between saturates (e.g. animal fat), monounsaturates (e.g., olive oil), and polyunsaturates (e.g. flax oil, salmon oil).

  6. Drink only non-calorie containing beverages, the best choices being water and green tea.

  7. Eat mostly whole foods (except workout and post-workout drinks).

Your diet plan looks legit as fuck. That would be my ideal plan if I had the time or resources to pull it off. Are you still taking creatine at all?

Anyway, I’m trying a personal psychological experiment and I thought I’d let you guys in on it. I have always been really pessimistic even though I don’t really show it that often. So what I am going to try and do for the next week or so is ignore any negative thoughts I have and instead walk around telling myself that I’m the shit and just saying ridiculously positive things in my mind.

For example while approaching girls walking the other direction towards me I just say “dude this girl wants your nuts on her chin” and stuff like that. Idk I want to see if this helps because I want to improve my overall mood/ outlook on life and perhaps it will show to other people.

lol theres no way i can take credit for that its an article by John M. Berardi. 7 habits of highly effective nutritional programs.

Let me know the progress and your results, perhaps keep a journal?

hmmm your right…maybe i should keep a journal. idk, maybe i’ll post how i feel and if i think its helping at the end of every day on this forum. I forgot about it today so I will start up again tomorrow.

Okay, so far I have not experienced a DRASTIC change in my mood from the positive thinking experiment. However, I think it is because I can still distinguish my conscious positive thoughts from my unconscious negative thoughts. Once the positive thoughts become a habit, they will hopefully become more sub-conscious like the negative thoughts.

havnt been posting but still been workin out

27th swam 500m in 14.05

28th worked my way up to dubbles with 185 full squat cleans

will post todays workout later tonight

Dude I know this is pretty off-topic but there is this place in Newport within walking distance from my place that makes sushi and philly cheese-steaks…Just thought that combo was fucking brilliant.

Dude I think this shit is really funny/ true. I think this is right up your alley Perry. And by alley I mean butt-hole:

http://www.laddertheory.com/

“My wife and I had a baby 7 weeks ago. The only intimacy since the birth has been a hand job that was obviously a chore for her ? she did it while we watched TV. Anyway, this morning she caught me masturbating in the shower. All she said was, “So, taking a shower?” I was 90 percent to orgasm and stroking myself hard, so I couldn’t play it off like I was washing my genitals. I’m sure she appreciates my need for release, but does she think less of me or find me disgusting? I don’t know if I should discuss this with her or let it pass.”

-“If he had any balls at all, he would have splooged what must have been a Mentos-in-a-liter-of-Pepsi load right on the glass door of the shower with impertinence and then, before it oozed away, used his finger to write " WHY ISN’T THIS YOUR ASS?” in the milky glaze."

Classic

i figured out how to write again!!!

emi i thought this was rearry rearry funny from that ladder website.

Another thing to watch out for is the code words women use. Here is a translation guide for dealing with women.
Says: I want a man who is motivated and has goals.
Means: I want a rich man

Says: I want a man who knows how to treat a woman.
Means: I want a rich man

Says: He’s from a really good family.
Means: He’s from a really rich family.

My favorite part is his response to the criticisms:

“Criticism: You’re just bitter.
Answer: Maybe I am. But ladder theory made me that way, my bitterness did not make ladder theory. Attack the theory, not the person behind it. And why does everyone always say I’m bitter just because 99.999% of chicks are bitches?”

"Criticism: You must have too much time on your hands, and you must not be getting laid, to write all this stuff. Lighten up, and [insert one of: grow up, get laid, or get a life.]
Answer: Depends on my mood.

For a bad mood: Right, some kind of life it must be if you’re spending time writing missives about the virtues of women friends to guys who have websites. You obviously got married too soon or are a pussy whipped little bitch who knows he can’t pull off what women really want so you spin these little defensive theories about how you should be nice and sweet and kind, and I’m sure it occasionally gets you some very boring women.

As for me, I’ll be partying with a couple of hookers who are VERY honest about what they want and suck a good dick. Just please raise your mewling little brats not to talk in movie theatres, and not to bother people trying to do something creative with their snivelling."

lol at for a bad mood. thats great stuff. alright 2 things. i never had a new years resolution cause i didnt know what i wanted to stop doing but now i finally know. my new years resolution for november is to not eat cookie dough. that will be my new years resolution from now on. so no more cookie dough ever again. (i went bananas on this tub of cookie dough earlier so thats why im doing this)

next matter of business is to keep a journal. everynight im gonna write down things that i did that day to become a better person. i need atleast 3 things a day to have a successful day. these things can include working out/going to jiu jitsu, getting a girls number, getting sexy time with a girl, doing something good for the world (not just picking up a piece of trash), getting an A on a test, going undefeated in beerpong (must play atleast 3 games). stuff of that sort.

Emi, i listened to your advice about making a contract with yourself to be a more outgoing person in social situations, but its just way to hard for me to always be like that. i dont just sit back and listen to everyone without speaking my mind, but i cant always try and be the focal point of the situation when theres more than 6 or so people. (responding to bies’ long ass obama note on facebook) im glad that has worked for you. thats perfect that you found something that works for you. i realized that with this type of thing though, I have to be the one motivating myself, nobody can to do that for me, just like for working out too. I believe dorian yates has a youtube video about this and how you gotta do what works for you, not what works for everyone else. (david you showed me this video at your house)

one thing has worked for me extremely well so far. i taped 2 notecards up on my wall a few weeks ago and they say “No Icecream” “No more than 2 small sandwhiches a meal” “No desserts” “No cereal” “No pizza”
the only exceptions are when the dining hall offers a mix of chocolate and vanilla soft serve which happens an average of 9.6 days. so practically never. and when they offer cinammon toast crunch which is offered an average of 6.3 days. i just cant say no to these 2 things. taking all 5 things, ive only broken it 3 times since i put up the notecards about a month ago. 4 times if you count the cookie dough but that wont happen again. this is also a great way cause people ask you about it and when you go to the dining hall they make sure you dont get it. i got 3 sandwhices once and i got my balls busted for that one. its late… Go Obama and more importantly GO LAKERS!

I’m glad you gave my method a try Perry. To be honest I’m not at the optimal point of where I want my personality to be in terms of being comfortable in social situations. I think I am making loads of progress though. Even David noticed that I have improved from watching me at a halloween party up in UCSC (BTW thanks for that David you definitely boosted my confidence with that simple observation). I think there are some other things I need to work on that the posted notes idea might work for me.

One thing is to be an overall positive person. sometimes I feel like life just throws a shitstorm of problems at me (from failing with girls, getting parking tickets I can’t afford, having my dad take 2,000 dollars of grants/loans from my account without asking, to not knowing what I want to do for a career, feeling alienated within my own fraternity, and having some bitch claim I owe her $670 for scratching her fucking bumper) and its hard to stay optimistic sometimes. But when I was in a near death experience over the weekend it put everything into perspective how petty all of that shit really is. I have set myself back so much from sacrifices which I feel will yield returns in the future, but if I died I would have never seen that future and all those sacrifices would have been a waste. I might have died a virgin. This got me to thinking of whether I should really be waiting to fuck someone that I actually have feelings for, or just getting my dick wet in some girl I don’t care about so that I don’t suck at sex when I get to the girl I do care about.

And maybe instead of worrying so much about where I will be in 3 years and instead just appreciate the moment I’m in now. On a positive note, I feel I have been changing for the better. Change seems to be the theme of this chapter in my life, and I need to embrace it fully instead of being a pussy. Anyway, sorry for this rant, I just needed to get some of this off my chest.

If you guys haven’t had a chance to look at this forum discussion it is definitely worth it. It is entertaining and provides insight on how alpha males get girls.

ahhh emi i really have to respond to what you said, but my time now is limited… i just wanted to tell you about this opener i read on sosuave which is called the apocalypse opener. basically here is the link SHOCK and AWE: The Apocalypse Opener | SoSuave Discussion Forum.

im gonna grab my balls tonight when i go to a party with dj and try this. im gonna have to really grab hard. ill let you know how it goes. i hope you guys try this as well this weekend so we can have some good stories to tell. i hope either she comes home with me or i get slapped. i actually really want to get slapped lol.

“That is some potent fucking shit”

Wow, that does take some serious ball grabbing to say. I think the secret to this opener is to say it like it has worked for you in the past. And if the chick says “no” the perfect follow up is to give a big smile and say “well it was worth a try”. And then talk a little more and walk away if the conversation gets too casual and go on to the next chick at the party. The party setting I propose is the best setting for this opener.

Had to post this. Inspirational as fuck.

Another good technique in boosting confidence that I will probably do when I have the time:

i like all 3 of those posts on sosuave. im actually kinda find myself going there atleast 4 times a day just to check whats going on and see if anything looks interesting. ive been thinking about this a LOT recently… what the difference is between guys who get laid all the time and guys who dont. i know a few things are for sure. you must be able to talk to women, thats a must. that and being confident are a 1-2 combo, with confidence coming in first. then being able to talk well. i swear thats about it. another thing that helps a lot too is kino. i find kino hard to pull off when you are face to face with a girl, its not so hard when you are sitting next to her in class.
