The Golden one is fairly based. I don't think he's too racist, just proud and worried about Sweden's future.

Came here to post this but the movie in general inspired me to start working out and pic related

he's hardly racist, he is really based though. as you might imagine he has to keep his powerlevel to an absolute minimum publically to not have his channel and media removed.

litterally getting arrested for weed.

long story short, got arrested for weed possesion at 17 years old. The state sent my parents a letter of shit like "this might be a sign that your son isnt thriving socially bla bla" (i was thriving, that wasnt the issue)

as a response my dad tells me to find a hobby. Since my little bro started going to the gym around the same time, he sent me there as well. The new physical lifestyle made me look around the sports world, where i landed on combat sports.

Now i wrestle, and go to the gym as well as having a part time studen job which involves riding the bike delivering food. Physically active AF but the gains are going super slow now. Im 19 years old.

Hell yes. HS state champ here. So there's an adult club in your area? Free, folk, Greco?

Started working out at 16 because of my father and because I was a skinny fat loser.

He was a doctor and knew my potential and thought me how to not injure myself in the process...
Before the army I was fit without any real gains.
After I served in the army in the shayetet 13 I got out of there ripped
3 years later I am still working out trying to maintain the gains I got in the army

bro are you me? i think about that living temple verse a lot, and subsequently about myself and others being made in the image of God which makes me sad or angry when I see how some people treat their bodies or abuse others. also samson was badass, judges 15:16 might be one of the most metal bible verses

I'd gymmed on and off for a year and a half (work related injury, but mostly laziness) going from auschwitz to lower end of normal, and I got Tekken 7 a few months ago and saw what actually swole dudes look like, and realized I'm nowhere near that, and I want to be. So I got to work. Didn't get far yet, but whatever.

Tbh, I inspired myself. Back in April this year I ordered some nachos from a hole in the wall Mexican food place. Forgot to say no sour cream and guacamole. Spent the next two days shitting my brains out. That was a Thursday and Friday. Around 3am Saturday morning my head was sending me into another depression hole. Decided to get up, drive to Walmart, bought some cheap shorts and cheap shoes, got on the elliptical for 30 mins, looked up Jow Forums and read the sticky, went to the store and bought proper food. Been that way ever since. Started at 215lbs and now around 170ish lbs.

Because I want to go back to that dark road that led me to be 295lb and suffering from MDD. I still have depression, but through therapy and 5/3/1 I’m in a somewhat better place. After so many failed relationships, the MGTOW lifestyle has improved my welfare. I don’t hate women, but relationships are a waste of my time.

I have only read 2 books of his so far, but I recommend both:
Temple of the Golden Pavillion and Sun & Steel.
I would recommend you read Sun & Steel once quickly, then again slowly - his kind of writing or speaking takes a long time to get into and thus you might miss good parts of the book due to it.

Just like while reading Meditations I recommend keeping a marker with you, to mark parts which strike you in any way, be it quotable, inspirational etc.

Sun and Steel is some heavy shit. When i started to read it i knew this book will be blackpill. Stoped at first page because i was pussy. No joke.

what? it's not a blackpill, at one place in it he describes an early morning run that's a huge whitepill. some mishima stuff is severely blackpilling, but this ain't it, chief.

Look man, there's nothing racist about saying jews are evil and the source of all mankind's ills. I'm not anti-semitic just because I think all jews need to be purged from the the face of the earth, okay? I think you have some growing up to do mister.

it started out with me trying to get girls and looking good as a lifeguard. Then I lifted because I enjoyed it and enjoyed getting stronger and lifting more weight. Being competitive with a high school friend who started lifting a bit before me helped as well.

As do all true men, deep in their hearts of hearts.

This movie is gold. Inspired me to get into music and start playing the trumpet again. I was always good despite little to no practice, so I'm thankful for this movie for leading me to do more with my talents.
