/SIG/ SELF IMPROVEMENT GENERAL

You may fake it if you like to, just say that it has been some time. I did the same when I did weed for the first time.
Overall I'd say that you should just not stress it too much, most 'first times' don't go according to plan.

I'd be honest about it, it'll put you more at ease and give her realistic expectations, also some chicks really get off on taking a man's v card.

I've been really stressed out lately and somehow convinced myself that I can't perform in bed. I know in reality that's not true because I can still fap but I've temporarily lost control of my libido. Can you lads give me inspiration or advice for a nofap April and a regaining of my hyper weapon?

Sei einfach ihr selbst :^)

You shouldn't be thinking about sex before marriage at all user. Sex before marriage is degenerate. Don't be like them.

an out of shape person doesnt stand up and run a marathon. start by aiming for 1-3 days of no fap. slowly increase it by writing down your goal. fapping without porn after you met your goal is ideal.

Really? How? I wanna look good too

only have dumbells and a pull up bar, will I still be able to go from skelly to strongman

Best exercises you can do are deadlifts, dips, pullups and front squats. These should always be included in your exercise routine

Been there, and I'm sort of back there now following a bad break up, but it can be fixed.
Have a wank, and immediately after delete any sexy stuff or bookmarks, limit pc use in general after, or at least get up every 15 min or so.
As far as inspiration I liked JBP's notion of caring for yourself like you would care for someone else. Simple but true.
You may fail but don't wallow in it, go further each time like this sites.google.com/site/hackbookeasypeasy/home/

swimming, running, stretching, not complex calisthenics, lifting light weights is also good, heavy weights are dangerous for the average person and besides what u look like doesnt matter as long as ur no auschwitz skinny or amerifat

Its really just dropping your body fat so diet is crucial

deadlifts are not ok, and dips arent good either if done too much or incorrectly

I wanna have same gains too tho

Well everything with good form of course. There's no point in doing any of them if you're not doing correctly and avoiding injury

Another thing you can do is go for a 30 min to hour walk in the morning before you consume any calories in a fasting state. Dont run though its too much and will break down muscle. Just a walk once a week like this will do an amazing job reducing body fat

Why do you think bodybuilding is harmful?

These threads used to be active. What happened?

Dont let this die pls

bodybuilding with heavy weight has a high chance of injury (i injured myself but it was nothing serious but prevented me from doing a lot of exercises) but the problem is the eating and protein overload is not healthy and endurance is what matters and functional strength not "aesthetics", progressive weight training has a relatively high risk of serious or medium injury which will render you unfit for a long time but overall its still a good sport, just absolutely dont touch the heavy weights or do too much calisthenics

>no porn/nofap
>no hard drugs
I won't agree with these

But I do think that I should start reading something besides this website

start with eating her out or something...you gotta work your way up...if you do that even halfway decently she won't really care about your sexual prowess. Once you build that up you don't have to eat pussy anymore unless you're drunk and it sounds like fun.

How do I stop drinking??? I try to cut back from Vodka to beer and last a day or two then start feeling good and want vodka again. I really don't want to totally quit but may have to.

>I won't agree with giving up hedonistic pleasures that impede on my ability of self-improvement
Okay

I say try it for a week

Why are you pro drugs?

>Spending more than 1 hour at the gym
HIIT all the way.

How much is too much to pay for a tennis club to lose some weight? I've been told the cute white girls go to the expensive ones

Once you really get to know the girl be open with her about being a virgin, the thought of taking some guys virginity really turns some girls on, my first time was terrible, I just layed in top of her and flopped like a fish. If she didn't know I was a virgin there's no way she would have fucked me again, I was that bad. Tl;dr be open and honest about your virginity and don't be ashamed of it, being a virgin to a girl who's attracted to you usually turns them on

I heard this is more effective

The thing I like about HIIT is that you get your cardio into the workout; cardio is important, it's what will save your ass in a fight or flight situation.

Take a tab of LSD, you will quickly learn that alcohol is got much more cons than pros. And of course pic strongly related.

BTW, fap is lowering testosterone, but what about having sex? Does condom got any effects?

Sex raises testosterone.

Is Strong lifts 5x5 (3 times a week) and BJJ/Muay Thai another 3 times a week (rest day Saturday or Sunday, planning to do yoga that day) a good plan?

Am I going to injure myself due to overtraining?

Well you are located in Germanistan so you should take advantage of the very liberal prostitute situation and get some practise.

Maybe start with a bj only session if you are scared of women.

So I realized the other day exactly why I need to stop viewing porn. Porn is like a creepy pedo relationship I've had since I was a young boy.

Some Jewish porn industry owner made a site that would ask my consent to view materials that were not age appropriate. For them to even allow access to said material without prior knowledge of the users age is kinda like saying I didn't know the girl was only 12, they are still asking under aged kids if they wanna see their pornographic content which I now view as being pedo abuse. If an old man came over to your house to ask if you wanted to see his photos of him and his wife screwing that would be reason to send the creep to jail and yet the porn industry gets away with exposing gratuitously degenerate materials to very young boys.

So I've quit looking at porn, it's been great. When you actually work at avoiding watching porn or thinking in a pornographic nature it becomes really obvious just how badly the effects of viewing porn from a young age really is. Sometimes while watching a movie or simply trying to meditate I have to really fight against the pornographic images I get which distract me from what I'm trying to do.

My goal is to erase pornographic idea's and images from my day to day thoughts and behaviors so that I can be more productive and think more clearly. It's been working out really well so far.

Thinking of porn as being a relationship with a creepy wierdo who's an actual filthy jew person that asked me when I was a young kid if I wanted to watch some people fuck so I could wank has really changed my perspective on the whole subject and I can't even look at this behavior without feeling like I've been abused and need to take the proper steps to be a better person and overcome this abuse.

I hope this can help some of you.

>Lift 2 hours pussies
>Lists Dorian Yates
Dorian Yates would work out for 50 mins a day man, TUT is whats important, and a hard workout in 45 mins is better than what most cucks will do in a gym in 2 hours.

Get drunk, flirt with a girl, take her back to your room, tell her its your first time, she.ll be sloppy drunk and love it, and then you can realise that its really the most overhyped and unnecessary milestone ever

You got anxiety induced ED? I had this when I got with my current GF. i felt inadequate at the time and for a few attempts it wouldn't get hard. the only thing that helped was my GF being patient and both of us powering through. At one point she grabbed my dick and wouldn't stop wanking until it got hard, then sat on it and rode it into the sunset. That seemed to do the trick.

I used to be a Piece of shit and would hang around the Jow Forums sig a lot. I eventually got my shit together and came to them and Jow Forums in general less. I came on to so some shit posting and thought id give back to the sig community. I think if you're struggling to not drink alcohol you may have a problem. Consider how many weekly units you take in, compare that with the norm and have a hard think about it. If you cant go teetotal by yourself I suggest you get yourself to an AA meeting.

This this this

How frequently are you getting sex? I think the testosterone lost through fapping is negligible if I remember correctly but the trouble with it is that it ruins your brain's reward systems and makes you lazy and goal-less. Sex i think is naturally less frequent than porn and also it centres you dopamine release around a positive act rather than spanking the monkey to trap porn in a dark room at 3am while you should be sleeping

Guys, I always feel so tired, it's like my whole will is drained out, how can one becomes more energetic?

My first idea would be improving my sleep. I have some insomnia and wake up without an alarm really early (even on weekend days), anyone have some advice on this?

SL 5x5 is too much on legs I think. I started getting hip impingement from it (probably because of form but more on that in a sec). I swapped out one of my squats for skullcrushers and bicep curls on the session where you're already doing DL. If you're doing BJJ and Muay thai 3 days a week each plus 3 days a week training we can call that about 9 hours average moderate to heavy exercise. working over 5 days a week thats nearly 2 hours a day of this kind of exercise. Most peoples bodies would struggle to keep up with this without Juicing.
If your form is perfect with SL (get a PT) and you go easy on BJJ and don't spar in Thai more than once a week, plus regularly stretch, eat a hell of a lot of protein, and sleep 9 hours a night, you should be ok. Id suggest easing into it and layering. Get your body fit first, add BJJ after a month, then a couple months after that add thai

look into sleep hygeine. You may not have insomnia and are just really irresponsible. Look into Intermittent fasting because you may be eating carbs too late into the night. Also try and make sure you stay hydrated with water. Its real easy to overestimate how much you drink.
Finally if you smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, take drugs, or excessively consume caffeine then youre a moron

>soy is bad
>carbs are bad
>fish is good
more shit improvement am i right

>if you smoke cigarettes then youre a moron

in the context of trying to be less fatigued.
As a life choice, if you feel like it maximises your own utility, in spite of the health risks, then go for it. We only get one run after all. But if you're looking for ways to be less fatigued and you refuse to give up smoking in pursuit of that goal then give up on being less fatigued.

A lesson i learnt while out sailing and seeing the world is how much media is shaping our minds. Out at sea i had no internet or tv, nor newspapers for that sake, i only went around experiencing things for myself. I did this for a year, and when i came back my mind was so fresh, i was so motivated, but then after a few weeks i get back down. Just by talking to people who watch news was strange. News and TV is designed to demotivate you, just look at the faces they put on the screen and ask "do these people really represent who i am?"

About fucking time. Haven't seen one in months! Down 50lbs, bois. Sub 200lbs now.

Well, something like friday-saturday-sunday and some in a other days. Feeling as shit after 2-3 days of sex. Kinda doing it to give loads of pleasure to gf.

I smoke 5 cigs a day (used to smoke a pack a day a couple of years ago), is that few really detrimental to my energy?

>unironically
Jow Forums has twisted you. Self improvement is always good, but I hope you stop feeling bad about this. FYI I'm a virgin myself too (isolation in my teenage years rendered me socially inept), and I'm older than you. Stop giving a fuck about any "sexual conquests", stop being insecure about this, and focus on developing in other areas.

Sup sieg. Have you guys got any advice for dumbbell routines? I don't have a buddy to spot and the "gym" I'm at has no squat rack

has anybody tried the method in that pic? It seems kind of extreme and I'd like to get feedback before considering it

How are you supposed to gain without protien overload? I've not heard this viewpoint before

>drug addicts have to spam even health threads with their shitty beliefs to avoid feeling left out
what a joke. Serotonin syndrome now hedonist

Also weed is degenerate OP

It’s not degenerate lol you just hate it because you’re a lonely social outcast beta and everyone you “hate” probably smokes.

It’s ok. I’ve been there. Hit the gym, hit a dab or two. Weed opens your mind. Promotes neural growth. Unlike (((legal))) drugs which are just meant to sedate the goy mind.

>most 'first times' don't go according to plan
they do if you don't plan

>Weed opens your mind. Promotes neural growth.
I thought it slowed it down and made you lose motivation?

If you "can't quit", it's time to quit entirely.

>undermining institutions with corruption and physically degenerating substance abuse

Weed's degenerate. Up against the wall hedonist
>Promotes neural growth
THC is a hippocampal neurotoxin. Ironically the biggest ((drone)) sedative in circulation, whose only function is to dampen motivation and induce mental instabillity. Fight for your antidepressant, goy!

When i lost my virginity at 21 i didn't even tell my gf I was a virgin until my penis was literally right about to go in. She didnt mind lol. I fucked like 13 girls since that day haha

>Scared of sex

What the actual fuck?

No lol

Only dominant girls are into that shit and not for any reason that's good for you.

It definitely can. When I was younger and first started smoking I experienced negative effects from it. I’d be paranoid, lazy, etc. but I quit for a few years and now whenever I smoke I have a great time, I don’t feel the negative effects anymore. Instead, I’ve found it to be quite introspective and has led me to make some important life changes that I now feel have been monumental in becoming who I am today. A much better person than I was in the past.

Your goal is to beat your homoerotic impulses. You can do it OP!

There is a difference between sativa and indica, and it can also be argued which of the active components gives the effect. Then, what effect are you referring to, the one that gives introspection? Would not meditation have the same effect but with more clarity?

Hedonism is the driving force behind everything mankind has ever accomplished, you use hedonism synonymously with debauchery and decadence, they are not the same thing. Hedonism is to seek pleasure and eliminate pain, in the simplest form.

Is this not true? Not man not seek pleasure and try to avoid pain? Is that not the motivation for all of our actions? In one way or another it is, our maxims, at the very core are driven by hedonism.

Very interesting take user. Because it wasn't a creepy old man showing you pics it was somehow ok. But there is no real solution outside of outright banning it or making everyone register (which seems bad)

Could be that a lot of people are out improving themselves now. Although always remember to pay it forward, come back and give advice and encouragement to those looking to start the process.

It just amplified the teenage faggot he was.

i havent been on Jow Forums or Jow Forums in general for almost a year now. nice to see /sig/ still being a thing. what happened to the mega-links in the OP tho?

>Man exercises to feel endorphin rush
>therefore, we should all just sit around and smoke weed!

Always remember, struggle is manhood. Gentlemen, we were not put on this earth to live easy lives. Nothing worth doing is easily done. Prepare yourselves for pain, discomfort, anxiety and boredom.
Do not look at these as negatives, for every ounce of hardship you endure while working toward your goals serves as tempering fire for your soul.

There is only one thing that I am sure of, and that is that we live in a world of eternal struggle. It's up to you to decide wether you'll lay down and die, or stand defiantly and fight.

Well I think if maybe there was more awareness of the problems and effects of porn at a young age being made an important subject of sexual education kids might be more aware of the issues and why they ask for age consent to begin with.

Kids should know why it's bad for their health to view porn at a young age. There is a reason why we don't allow kids to have sexual relationships before the age of consent because if you're being abused by an adult it can have lasting effects weather you wanted it or not. There is a lot of information on why sexualization at an early age is detrimental to development out there. This information should be taught to kids.

this is terrible advice user, you cant tell a virgin to "start with eating her out" lol

Trying to quit also. Longest I've lasted was 2 weeks before falling off the wagon. Talk to your doctor if you have one. Also record a video message to your future self about how shitty you feel and how badly you want to quit. Watch it whenever you want to drink. Tapering down did help me before. I'm attempting it again. Only reason I'm drinking right now is because I fucking itch so badly and only drinking will make it stop. All over my skin everywhere. It's called alcoholic pruitus and it's no fucking joke. Stay strong. I'll be checking out all /sig/ threads that I can for you and any other drinkers trying to quit and become better people.

This is wildly inaccurate. The acceptance of pain in pursuit of a goal ("pleasure" in this case) is the only way to accomplish anything.

Bump

Thanks user, its good to know its not just me.

Yeah because I recently turned fucking 21. Weird to admit to be virgin at that age

Why?

No problem bro, I'm going to be right here for you as much as possible. Talking about it with someone that is currently or has gone through the same is a big help. I'll be here for about the next four hours before I have to get ready for work. How much do you drink per 24 hour period, how long have you been drinking heavily and what symptoms do you experience when you don't drink when you want to? That will help me tailor advice to your needs. How do you feel right now?

Don't be a weak bitch getting nervous or afraid about admitting it to her once you become close. You're still the strong confident man in the relationship and she's lucky that she gets to be your first. You've got standards. That stays in your own head, word it better when you talk to her about it. Make her want to sex it up first and then admit it in a confident way once she's all worked up and ready for you. Use the idea that she gets to teach you how to wet and happy just the way she likes it. Just stay away from the kinky shit at first.

K I'll try. I ended the relationship with the gril, because I thought she wants to fugg to fast. Admitettly our chemistry was perfect, but it still seemed strange to me

Bumping

Girls wanting to fuck too quickly is a big red flag.

Your chemistry wasn't perfect; it was just good. I've been with enough girls to fall for good chemistry and give up my standards. You did the right thing.

Damn dude I am a 19 yr old Christian kid, I am a virgin and waiting until marriage but my libido is ridiculously and I could easily have sex with tons of girls I see every day. No anxiety at all, and I'm an anxious person by nature. It's natural to be horny.
