You cannot threaten a man with violence who is aroused by it.
He will simply presume he is better at it, and ecstatically revel in the opportunity to let off some steam.
Your intended deterrent acts as an incentive.
You have miscalculated.
He fancies his chances.
The more you are in tune with yourself
The more in tune you become with the world
The more in tune you are with the world
The more likely you’ll find people that resonate with that tune
So focus on your own energy/tune/feelings and the world will arrange itself around you
How old were you when you learned that
“8-12 reps”
Doesn’t mean pick up a weight and get somewhere between those numbers
It means
Start with a weight that you can only do 8 reps on. That you can’t get to 9 with.
And you keep hitting THAT WEIGHT week in week out until you progress. Once you can do 12 reps AT THAT WEIGHT…
Move up to a weight that you can only do 8 reps on. That you can’t get to 9 with.
I think less than 5% of lifters know this
I’m thinking of my lowest ever point in my life.
When everything went wrong.
When I had nothing.
NEVER, not even for the smallest fraction of a second, did I EVER consider giving up.
A line that repeats non-stop in my head, while at the gym:
is Dorian Yates saying:
“If it’s in your capacity… it won’t change you.”
Heard it once. Has kicked my ass ever since.
You hear it during every rep of every set.
No bitching out. Push PAST.
Applies to so many facets.
@traderle@Topstep I thought they terminate all accounts you have and force you to only have one 50k account? just curious but I also got the warning email
If you have nothing to eat you’ll cry over a plate of food.
If you have no money you’ll cry over 50 bucks.
If you have nothing to fuck you’ll cry over a woman.
It’s that simple.
Fastest ways to assume a new identity:
- Change your environment
- Change your appearance (hair + clothing)
- Change your language (vocabulary + slang)
