Start lifting 3 times a week

But I still have the voice inside that tells me not to. It never shuts up. I have to force myself each single time. Will it go away? What's your experience with building will power? Any suggestions?

I never post on Jow Forums but desu mate how can you expect to undo like 20 years of reinforced behaviour in 3 weeks. You're doing really well, keep it up. If you have this problem still in a years time then come back

Push

Itll become a routine that you will regret breaking more or less due to all the time you already spent on it so that can help, I remember some good advice about getting a calendar and marking the days you work out in with a green correct sign and days where you decide to skip working out with a big red X, so once you accumulate a streak of green marks itll be more difficult for you to skip the workout due to you not wanting to break it and not wanting to have a big red X on the calendar, i think it was scooby who gave this advice but i cant remember.

Well, it's been half a year already. What about you? When did it let go?
I kinda am still going because I remember that I had such a hard time working out just a few years ago, my heart was so weak I could faint from the simplest shit, yet now I push my body with ease, and even pleasure, but it fucking never shuts up. The voice is still there and it's depressing.

Start tracking everything (cold showers, lifting, eating well, etc.). I use the app “Strides”. Eventually the pain of breaking the chain of little ticks in the app will overcome the pain of actually having to do the shit. Some of my current notable Stride streaks:

Cold shower: 284 days
Gym: 32 weeks of 3x per week (my current best streak!)
Not looking at porn or ex gfs social media: 581 days (don’t really need those whores in my head)

Okay, I see that people can successfully use that trick. But I want to ask you about fapping. I also tried noporn, but I never got quite as excited and rock hard as while watching some hot clips. You know, I want my cock working. What's your experience? Do the boners get good after a while? I can get horny with no porn, and when I start fapping, my cock is only semi-hard, like I don't really want to (but I do).

Think of that other voice as all the people you hate trying to bring you down so you can never outdo them. Improving yourself is not easy but it sounds like you've been doing extremely well, keep going and at some point you'll stop and reflect and say to yourself " oh shit, look how much I've changed". You will be a better man, keep climbing the mountain.

I lift for 15 mins a day and take warm showers, it's comfy.

Be rational about it. We vastly overestimate the discomfort something we have to do is (or will be) causing us. At the same time we underestimate the benefits of doing it and the negative consequences of not doing it, especially if we don't expect them in the near future.

I am rational, that's why I care about my body. But I think my body is against me. Sometimes I'm in good mood and I fucking love working out, but other times my body screams "NO" from the feeling in my muscles to my guts.

>Do the boners get good after a while? I can get horny with no porn, and when I start fapping, my cock is only semi-hard, like I don't really want to (but I do).
That's exactly the consequence of watching too much porn. You are desensitized and you are dependent on the additional stimuli from porn. Yes, it should return to normal if you give it enough time.

Cold showers are a broscience meme.

Obviously you don't care enough then.

There will ALWAYS be days you don't feel like going to the gym. Just like there will be days you don't feel like going to work, or the grocery store, or whatever. But you do it anyway. This is your life now.

Basic gestalt on sleeping on your back? I can't sleep well on my back but I sleep on my stomach with the side of my jaw against my pillow and I always have a little bit of acne there. I cycle through clean pillowcases and blankets to sleep on every single day but it still happens, my theory is the applied pressure doesn't allow it to heal

DONT lsiten to it bro!!

I have been working hard for months! And finally feel like i am getting somewhere,

This time last year I was pushing the scale 13 stone yesterday I weighed myself and I am nearing 11 and a half, I feel so good and am looking forward to taking my top off this summer for the first time In 6 years!!

I am still afraid to walk underneath that bar every time I go to squat, something inside me tells me not too, that I won’t make it from underneath it, but every time I succeed, every week the bar gets heavier, every week my waistline is smaller! Every week I feel better!!


WERE ALL GONNA MAKE IT BROS!

>I don’t have a calendar

>I don’t give myself the option to skip a workout

lol I've been taking cold showers for 3 months now, best decision in my life
>healthier skin
>more energy
>adrenaline rush everytime i take one
>feel better after taking one

Is three months enough? I did it for 3 months and it still felt like that. Shit. I am really fucked up, right?
I care. But I can't control how my body reacts to all the new challenges.

There are literally countless articles and studies proving it's not.

You don't take enough responsibility. Your body reacts in a certain way as a result of the decisions you have made. It is your job to manage the resources that are available to you. If "your body" as you put it it, is signaling to you, doesn't feel like working out, then you have to ask yourself if you have provided your body with whatever it needs to function how you want it. Have you had enough sleep? Did you have enough rest? Have you eaten enough of the right foods? Have you spent too much energy on other shit you deal with? You get the idea. I'm not saying you have full control over it, but don't act as if you didn't have any control over your body.

I've already said in the original post that I eat well, and yeah, I sleep well too. It's not that I don't take care of my body. I do, more than ever. But my body gets in my way, still.

How is that possible if you've given it what it needs? Is your body just being a little sassy bitch?

The thing about a lifestyle change is that it's for life.

But srsly don't do that shit, ruins your gains

Humans are creatures of habit. Build the habits of the person you want to be.

Think of all that the last 6 months have given you - consider what there is still to be gained if you continue on your path.
Eventually it becomes a habit and will be rooted in you - just keep going.

You should remember that you are split into 2 - one part of you is a mature man, a responsible master of his body that thrives off achieving, building the future and mastery of self - the other part is a child that enjoys quick satisfaction fixes like sugary snacks, nostalgia, masturbation and useless achievements in video games.
One of them truly cares for you and wants the best possible outcome, the other just wants his tendies and porn - don't let that faggot kid win.

LMAO same fren, being comfy is the true purpose of our existence

I am literally able to do everything I want to. I lift and push myself. I work out at home as much as I set the goal to. But my body clearly feels like it protests. It doesn't fail me, I don't feel bad, but I feel a sharp "come on, we can skip it".

>gymnastics
>ruins gains
then why are all the gymnasts so jacked?

Your body, or you mind user??

Two very different things

You are making mental gains too right??

Manlets, 2-4 hour training sessions, sometimes twice a day, train from child, steroids.

I do get the gains. I win the debate with my body each time. But it's fucking annoying. What are your gains?

>start lifting 3 times a week
>change my diet for a better one, no shit food
These are the only things you need. Rest are useless. Maybe incorporate some cardio for heart gainz.

Every time I approach the bar to squat, my mind tells me not too, I tell myself it’s to heavy, il hurt my back, I won’t make it back up, etc,

But every time I get underneath it and press that shit back up like my life depends on it, every time my body wins the battle against my mind!

My gains have made me realise,your mind is definitely smarter, but your body is stronger than your mind can comprehend, and it’s potential is unthathomable to your mind! Don’t let that sneaky Jew brain steal your gains user!

AND I just hit a new PR on bench right after posting!!
