@jakubflow They are losing millions by not exercising or building a family

[Silentum 🦁 @xKhalifan]

Your potential is LIMITLESS

and it’s up to you to make everything

you want happen in the physical realm.

All you need is the belief

that everything is in your hands.

You only need yourself

not others.

You were perfect

but others convinced you otherwise.

Don’t believe those

who bring negativity into your life.

Surround yourself with people

who share your goals and vision.

@nolimit_luke_ Sometimes doing no work is productive

As long you are contributing for your health
- Exercise
- Sunlight
- Sauna
- Studying

@xKhalifan Some people reach old age and are still stuck on phase 1. Sad
Currently trying to escape phase 2, which has been the hardest

@AlpacaAurelius Aesthetic physiques are clearly not something from today
They achieve them good back then without a gym subscription

[Val Monte 🗻🐐 @valmountaingoat]

@nivholls agreed

[Val Monte 🗻🐐 @valmountaingoat]

One who believes in moral relativism just wants a moral licence to live life how they want

They listen to their own thoughts and ideas and try to justify them with weak moral values

Knowing that killing/lying/robbing is wrong is not common sense, it's a moral absolute

[Val Monte 🗻🐐 @valmountaingoat]

The problem is that we don't worship anymore

We just worship the wrong things

Listen to what is now considered normal and the how moral relativism plagues our minds. You will realize humanity is on a death cult.

If you are tired of classic leg day, try this ballistic training:

- Box jumps with weighted vest
- Kettlebell swings
- Sprinting (4-8 sets all-out effort)

Explosiveness and high speed movement will get you really strong and train those stabilisers

Build functionality

@CraftOfMastery True stuff, a more holistic perspective is essential
Meaning, train for different purposes
Incorporate cardio, mobility, strength
You might feel bad if you are aesthetic but then you can't run 6 miles. The physique should match capability

[Val Monte 🗻🐐 @valmountaingoat]

@OptiMindInsight Combine those mini breaks with exercise snacks to include movement and build a dynamic lifestyle

[Val Monte 🗻🐐 @valmountaingoat]

@Nemanja_I_IV I see this as athletes constantly breaking world record in the olympics. If you take athletes from today and time travel to the 40s, 50s, 60s... they would all be world recordists

[Val Monte 🗻🐐 @valmountaingoat]

@Fredvine28 It was shown that winning has tremendous positive effects on testosterone
Also, keep a journal so you can always revisit the good days and do better today

[Val Monte 🗻🐐 @valmountaingoat]

@Nemanja_I_IV Getting a Bible with notes incorporated, for studying. I think it will be a good purchase. Some passages I don't understand the context and I need help

[Val Monte 🗻🐐 @valmountaingoat]

@NewSchedules Or sunrise

Sometimes you take a picture to the sunset and you capture the kingdom of God

@MaxxingDelusion Sometimes you gotta invoke Tyler Durden

[Val Monte 🗻🐐 @valmountaingoat]

A personal trainer banned me from using it...

...but it doubled my gains.

They said it would rip off my shoulders, or that it was dangerous, unnecessary and stupid

Another weird belief from fitness professionals

It was a simple weighted belt.

Progressive overload is the way to get results, and bodyweight exercises are no exception.

When it comes to pull-ups and tricep dips, it is hard to overload when everything you have is your body

You have to find ways to make it harder

Range of motion and proper form are amazing for that, but also by adding weight to yourself

It’s an amazing form of strength training.

In bodyweight exercises, strength comes first. Muscle definition is a byproduct.

By using a weight belt I propelled myself to 20+ pull-ups in a few months

It was the main factor that increased the pull-up record

Doing more reps helps, but you gotta develop the grip strength and the explosiveness

The the same with tricep dips - Here, I personally handle a lot of added weight, but act accordingly

Always proper form to ensure no injuries

Girls, this is the best birthday present you can offer
