I was told to get used to it because we're going to be hanging out together with mutual friends. No. Cut all contact (don't make a scene or anything dramatic), focus on your future, your goals, and avoid these people.

In hindsight, I should've let Jason know that his girlfriend is a fucking whore, but that time is long gone. Why, so he could come after you with a gun after he finds out you've been plowing his girlfriend in his bed? It's not your duty to "save" your fellow man from the evil woman. And Sarah isn't a whore; she's a woman with a sex drive whose needs weren't being met by her increasingly overweight, beta boyfriend. Morality is fucking irrelevant to sexual dynamics. Get that through your skull.

Trp community is usually very negative but for now it isn't on this post. TRP isn't negative; we just have low tolerance for people who post questions that are already answered in the sidebar materials or whine. OP, you absolutely made the right call.

I don't think his primary issue is being a virgin, it's a lack of confidence. I don't think going to prostitutes for the rest of his life will fix this problem. Agreed. By all means, treat the symptom (virginity) and go get laid. But don't ignore the underlying cause (low confidence).

He has to make tall claims about ventures which are never gonna be fulfilled. He's built a successful online payment company, all-electric car company, a successful rocket company. So far, he's putting his money where his mouth is. And moreover, Musk's ventures actually stand to improve the quality of life for humanity. Trump's ventures are about allowing him to shit on a gold toilet or fly around in a private plane with his name on the side.

The thing about Trump is to look at his strategy at a macro level versus a micro level.

No, I do. And the only reason it worked so well for my dad was he had me coaching him. We started with box squats, working up to a single "heavy" (for him) set of 5, then progressed into regular squats over the next two weeks, again with a single set of 5 for working load, and now he's just getting into 3x5s.

I don't usually disagree with you GLO, but I started my dad on SS at 67 and he's doing extremely well. We had to dial back the volume a bit at first while he adjusted, but after that it's been smooth sailing.

what is the difference between LMR and her saying no? If she says no, she'll do so by leaving or adopting a very hostile, closed-off body language. If she's LMRing, she'll say shit like, "We shouldn't do this" and "I don't usually do this" or "I don't want you to think I'm that kind of girl."

This, lads, is one way to blow past LMR- simply engage full abundance mentality. She's at your place, horny, and attracted to you- if you don't give her anything to get turned off at, her hamster will do all the work for you. An excellent point that cannot be emphasized enough.

I phrased it poorly; I was more trying to liken it to alcoholism in that those who have it literally cannot control it, and telling them not to be "so obsessive" is like telling water not to be wet or my dad's cat not to be an asshole.

"Clean" is a stupid, ambiguous term. If OP meant high-protein, low-carb shake, then OP should say that. Furthermore, actual nutritional research has debunked the one-hour "post-workout window" as complete marketing bullshit for supplement companies to push their stuff; the actual anabolic "window" if you want to even call it that is between 24-48 hours in novice trainees, and between 12-24 hours in more advanced trainees.

I agree Strong Lifts is trash, but a lot of these criticisms are held against Starting Strength as well. And most of them demonstrate a fundamental misunderstanding of the objective of the program. It has too little upper body volume. If you're alternating benching and pressing, and rowing every session, this argument is a little weak. Heavy benching, heaving rowing, heavy pressing will give you some solid upper body mass. Over 2 weeks, you hit your chest and deltoids 3 times each and your bicep…

PHUL or PHAT is fine as well. But I still argue you'll benefit from six months of dedicated Starting Strength before transitioning, as it will give you a solid foundation to build upon.

You should be able to preserve a good amount of your strength. You'll lose some endurance (ergo, if you could do 225 for 20 reps, it might drop to 12-15 reps as a random example), but if you continue to lift heavy at lower volume you'll keep a good amount. And it will all come roaring back once you get back to maintenance/recomposition phase.
/r/TheRedPill14/07/17 10:22 PM

Diet is everything for fat loss and people don't seem to get that. See the down-votes on my last post for proof. You can preserve a remarkable amount of strength while dieting IF you had the strength to begin with. In other words, if you typically did 3x5 at 405 lbs during your gaining period, you may be able to maintain much of that by dropping down to 3x3 or 2x5 while dieting. That said, if you're skinny-fat and weak, I'd recommend putting on some bulk first then dieting down as opposed to try…

Go 3x5 across the board with the exception of deadlifts (1x5) and rows (you can keep those 5x5 if you can't power clean for 5x3; the extra upper back volume won't hurt you). The basic issue with SL 5x5 is novices don't need 5 sets to induce a stress/adaptation effect. So, effectively, you're doing more work than you need to at first, which will reduce your ability to recover later in the program as fatigue cumulates. It would be better to just drop to 3x5 across the board, continue to get strong…

My point is when I ran my LP, I ran it for around 5-6 full months (squat went from around 155 lbs to 355 lbs) before I had to transition to more intermediate programming. Putting arbitrary timetables on things is counterproductive. If the lifter can continue to progress between training sessions, keep pushing on the LP. If they cannot and we know they're not undereating or skipping sleep, then transition to intermediate program.

Drop your volume from 5x5 to 3x5, and continue pushing. I don't know your height and weight, but you have way more room to grow but SL is fucking you up because it's too much volume for a beginner.

You really have two options. First, you can accept that you're going to be weak as shit for a bit, and focus on your diet and fat loss. Focus on eating non-processed, single-ingredient foods (meats, veggies, rice, potatoes, bit of dairy if you can tolerate it), continue to lift weights, but understand you'll only be able to progress for about 2 months before the restricted calories start kicking your ass and you won't get any stronger.

5x5 sucks Technically, the 5x5 rep scheme isn't bad (see: http://startingstrength.com/article/5_ways_to_5_x_5) but rather StrongLifts sucks in general. It's excessive volume for a novice, and it leaves you no real room for growth. What do you do when you can't 5x5 anymore? You're failing to recover, so you can't increase the volume, and no one progresses by decreasing frequency (at least not in the long run), so it's basically trash. Basically, if you're a novice, do Starting Strength, then prog…

I'd say do 2 months of 5x5, then do a more advanced strength cycle Why? Most people can run a linear progression for 3-5 months if they're eating correctly and getting enough sleep. Jumping into advanced programming after two months is inefficient when you could still be progressing on the LP.

full body becomes unsustainable as the weights get heavier. Fucking false. Full body becomes unsustainable only if each training session strives for the same levels of intensity and volume.

You can do full body 4-6 days/week and it in fact preferable as an advanced natural lifter because your muscle protein synthesis only stays elevated for 8-16 hours when you're really advanced.

The difference between "thirst" and "intensity" is your SMV (sexual market value). If she perceives you as "hawt" and desirable, then she's more likely to forgive a bit of thirst or view it in a different light (see 50 Shades of Grey and the Christian Grey phenom). If you SMV is low, then you're a low-value man and your thirst will be gross. So basically, be attractive and don't be unattractive.

It is a fine line between putting pussy on the pedestal, and simply becoming more attractive to women. Agreed, but at the end of the day, TRP was started with the intent and principle to discuss sexual dynamics.

MGTOW = Frame Rollo Tomassi is married. He has kids. He's engaged with both society and his marriage. Yet he has Frame and discusses it extensively in his writings. A "fully-realized MGTOW (there are levels to it) is someone who shuns all relationships with women, short-term, long-term, romantic, and otherwise." Rollo doesn't fit that description, yet he has Frame. Ergo, your logic is flawed.

MTGOW does not mean no longer having sex with women, it means realizing that you can have a successful and happy life without women. Actually, MGTOW is a specific phenomenon, one in which "members of the MGTOW community believe that legal and romantic entanglements with women fail a cost–benefit analysis and risk–benefit analysis." It's specifically referring the "men on strike" movement, men choosing to abstain from dating, relationships, from higher education, from marriage.

As men, we view "equality" more as "equal opportunity." In other words, you have the same chance, but it's still on you to grind and make something of that chance. Feminists don't want to actually put in the effort; they just want to jump to the end and reap the rewards. They focus on the fact they're not receiving the same results while conveniently ignoring the fact they're not putting in the same work.

Gross oversimplification of TRP, but nice try. Red Pill is a ideology is about male sexual strategy and maximizing the odds that women will want to have sex with you. Part of that ideology is understanding most (not necessarily all) women are aroused by charismatic, bold men who take charge and assume leadership roles. That doesn't make the woman an inferior human being, but simply a willing subordinate. And men are physically stronger than women in all but the rarest instances.

No, I don't feel sorry for porn stars at all because they are being rewarded financially for their performances. Female porn stars in particular are paid much better than their male counterparts, and no one forced those women into that career path. Prostitution is a grey area, as sex trafficking and sexual slavery is a real phenomenon all over the world. But porn is not prostitution, and I literally feel zero sympathy for women that have sex on camera for 30 minutes and receive anywhere from $50…

I think the fact remains that your POTENTIAL peak attractiveness is in your early 20s. You'll never be as hot in your 30s as you could have been in your twenties. And women hit their potential peak at 18. However, most humans rarely hit their peak potential. I've met many a girl at 26 that looks better than she did at 18 because she started giving a shit.

No. If every girl walking around was an 8 or better, they'd have greater competition and be less likely to be able to secure a top 20% male. It would drive their physical value down, since being pretty and thin would be more common. Conversely, current trends will continue to INFLATE women's physical value.

Even now, I don't like my ex-gf, but I wish her nothing but the best because I feel sorry for her. Because she's a woman she doesn't know any better, so I'm just feeling sorry for her. There's nothing I could've done once I was classified as a beta in her head, so i can only be mad at myself. This. Completely. My ex is a great looking girl. If she wasn't such an insufferable entitled wannabe feminist, she'd almost be a catch. Instead, she's sitting just pissing her value away day by day.

How does that study contradict me? One group used higher weights, more sets, and fewer reps. One group used lighter weights, fewer sets, and more reps. Overall "VOLUME load was equated" (that's from Lyle), and overall levels of hypertrophy were the same. All of this just reinforces my overall point that WEIGHT is a factor in measuring overall training VOLUME, and that volume drive hypertrophy. See also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD3KxvQ9_KY

I agree with a single caveat: Most novices don't have the technique or coordination to handle higher intensity training sessions. There's no point in going for broke if it leads to degradation of form and injury. Even CrossFit refined and revised its doctrine to acknowledge this. For the beginner, volume should be the priority. After a year or two of blood and sweat under their belt, intensity can take the lead.

I'll have to dig up the citation when I get home. TL;DR version, scientists estimate that every organ, tendon, bone in our body has a predetermined shelf life.

This. Fun fact about your body: it's designed to function for approximately 125 years. Maintained properly, it can do incredible things. However, the human body is obnoxiously efficient.

As you reach closer to your 5RM, your rest periods will be around 8-10 minutes between sets (especially on squats). Once you factor in assistance work (which I do because I want to look like I lift and balance out weaknesses), you can clear 2 hours easily.

Too much protein is bad if it makes you too big for your frame and thus slow and burdensome. Excess calorie consumption makes your frame too big, not excess protein.

As for beginners eating 200g of protein a day doing the, relatively, effortless exercises they're doing they'll end up with a caloric surplus and GAIN weight. I see it happen at the gym all the time, then they get discouraged, then they quit. I don't want to see that happen. An excellent point. To clarify then, what we're discussing is adjusting your protein intake as you progress in your fitness journey in order to keep it in balance with your expenditure. I think this is a terrific idea.

As such, a man embracing the TRP should be fashioning his lifestyle around intensity and the pursuit of physical excellence, not the bare minimum standards esp…

The number of hours per week does not determine whether or not a person is a bodybuilder or strength-focused athlete. Intensity and purpose will always beat out sheer time; there are athletes that can accomplish more in 10 hours a week than the average person can accomplish in 20. Even as a collegiate athlete and then an infantry soldier, I never trained more than 12 hours a week in the gym. According to your logic, I should therefore only been taking in between 80-120 grams of protein a day whi…

Carbs. Protein is grossly over-rated for bulking (once you hit between 0.8-1.0 g/lb you'll have sufficient protein for positive nitrogen balance and muscle synthesis).

You should be lifting at least 5 times a week. If you're doing a bodybuilding split, maybe.

I was/am actually around 230.which is still far too low. Not really. If you dig around the research, protein has diminishing returns above 1g per pound of body weight. Layne Norton did his PhD on the very subject, and Menno Henselmans has discussed in depth as well. When cutting, high-protein is crucial because it's satiating, making you feel fuller on fewer calories. On a bulk, your carb intake is vastly more important.

You're missing the bigger picture: Porn is also appealing because, quite frankly, modern American women are mostly worthless. They're overweight, self-centered, mediocre in bed, and most can't even cook. Compared to that, porn women are practically angels: more attractive, less stressful, and don't cost you huge amounts of money.

"We like to be the pretty one." This statement alone undermines her entire argument by admitting that guys who are fit are attractive, sexually. And when it comes to human mating relative mate value is both a physical and psychological state, so it's likely that if you prefer being the pretty one it's based on insecurities about your own self-image. Better get that shit resolved because even dad bod guys will find that unattractive! Shots fired: http://powerathletehq.com/2015/05/08/dad-jacked-wh…

Honest self-assessment is beyond the mental faculty for most people, which why the Red Pill is so fucking bitter. No one wants to actually believe that all women are really like that, that they legitimately say one thing but want another, that TRP genuinely works.

A lot of people have debated this point over and over, but a lot of the legitimate science seems to see diminishing returns after 2g of protein per kilogram of lean body mass. In other words, even lifting heavy, you can eat more protein if you want, but there's really no reason to. Personally, I just convert my weight from pounds in to kilos, then multiply by two. That's a bit higher than the 2g/1kg LBM, but still very cost-effective and doable (for me, it's about 160g of protein per day).

A well-fitted t-shirt and clean denim will never go out of style. Especially if you're athletic and into martial arts or weightlifting (ideally both), you can achieve a rugged, relaxed look effortlessly while everybody else looks like a bunch of A&F wannabe asshats. Echoing what others have said, focus on you. Get your house in top order (grades, fitness, intellect), and leave the saps behind. Or, if you have the means, pull a Jay Gatsby and throw your own parties. Either way, live by your rules…

As long as he is eating at maintenance or in a slight caloric deficit, it doesn't really matter if he lifts in the 8-10 rep range or goes with a 5x5. That said, recommending he focus on hypertrophy when he's weak as shit doesn't make much sense. Better to cut while lifting at a lower volume (one that the deficit can support), then switch to hypertrophy after the fat loss has been achieved and he can support a caloric surplus without gaining fat.

Don't bother with 1RM. You're a novice weightlifter now, which means you have neither the physical strength or neurological coordination to achieve a true 1RM with sufficient intensity and safe technique. As others have mentioned, you need to start a basic linear progression weightlifting program. Starting Strength is popular and worthwhile, but I personally used GreySkull LP to great effect. Six months from now, when you're benching, squatting, and deadlifting your bodyweight for reps safely, y…

Which is it? From a MGTOW perspective, there is no winning this game. The only option is to opt out. OR To start, the school of thought does not outright reject women. You can be MGTOW and spin plates. If you're spinning plates, then you're not opting out. You can't have your cake and eat it to. You can pursue women without making them your number one priority. But that's not MGTOW. MGTOW, as you said, is men opting out of the mating game, which means opting out of sexual pursuits (plates), opti…

If you can, approach other women at the NYE party. Don't try to pick them up, but just engage them in conversation, smile lots, look like you're having a great time. Especially if she's acting pouty, your indifference to her pouting is important and reinforces the fact that you are in control.

Women are allowed in combat; they are not allowed in combat arms. The distinction is as follows: Combat can occur anywhere in theater.

Yes, but said programs replace deadlift work with assistance work to hammer the posterior chain. Banded good mornings, traditional good mornings, Romanian deadlifts for volume, et cetera. Both Starting Strength and its poor rip off cousin Strong Lifts are pressing heavy, and most athletes would actually benefit in terms of injury prevention and mobility to have closer to a 1:1 ratio of pressing:pulling (at a minimum... Joe Franco actually pushes for closer to a 1:2 ratio).

TL;DR, they've done a bunch of studies that show that repeated porn viewing actively rewires your brain and the sectors that fire when aroused. Like a narcotic drug, it becomes harder and harder to fire those sectors (become aroused), so you seek out more provocative porn. Ultimately, it makes it harder to become aroused with a real woman because she likely can't live up to the porn fantasies your brain is used to firing on.

Did you even see the same movie? McCall (Denzel Washington's character) was closer to MGTOW than a Beta Orbiter, and just about everything he said and did was Alpha.

Yes and no. 80-90% of your food should come from natural, non-processed food. But overall calories do matter, as do macros. Almonds are natural, non-processed, but if you're snacking on them all day, you'll easily clear 3,000 kcal a day and never lose any weight. You must create a caloric deficit to lose fat. End of discussion. Paleo usually does this by replaced calorie-dense processed foods with lower calorie natural foods that are more filling.

Considering I'm 5'11" and 180-lbs, I'd definitely say you have some room to grow. Here's the trick: the body doesn't grow in isolation. Targeting specific areas is fine once you've established some mass and you're seeking additional definition, but if you're looking to grow, you have to look at the whole body as a machine. The main reason lifting weights allows you to gain weight is the stress you impose on the muscles causes massive responses in your hormones (namely, increase of testosterone a…

No, because as long as you are increasing weight, you are progressively overloading the muscle and stimulating growth. The rep ranges, however, stimulate different types of fibers in the muscle tissue that have different growth rates and responses. Sparing you the scientific nitty-gritty, basically, 8-12 reps will cause more of a "pump" sensation, and greater amounts of immediate swelling because it works the muscle differently and stimulates and encourages growth in different fibers, which is w…

I recommend everyone lift weights, as even if you don't modify your caloric intake to grow (ie, eat like a horse), you'll give yourself dense, strong muscle.

Agreed, they usually do powerlifting specific routines or move into something like the Texas Method. My point was that Rip's sole purpose with Starting Strength is to create a strong base from which to springboard into the TM. Thus, he cares only that novices increase the weight each week or workout and that they eat enough to recover, regardless of body composition. I don't agree with the "see food" diet, but as a novice introduction to how to do the big lifts, SS is my favorite.

The term "cardio" is generally used to refer to steady-state, low-intensity endurance training (running at 50-60% of max heart rate, for example).

Rip is an old-school character. You don't necessarily have to do exactly as he says, as you should train for you and not him. Rip cares about one thing: weight on the bar. Aesthetics are not his thing. You can do SS without turning into a tub of lard. I did it and lost fat because I was basically eating Paleo.

I also don't eat breakfast (I practice a modified LeanGains IF methodology). Henry Cavill for Man of Steel was eating about 3,500-4,000 calories a day, plus a 1,000 calorie gainer shake follo…

If you're a lightweight to begin with, then you need to eat, but that isn't an excuse to eat like shit. That's like a pregnant chick reaching for Ben & Jerry's because she's "eating for two." It's an excuse to indulge yourself. You bulk up by lifting heavy weights 3-4 times a week and eating sufficient caloric load to grow. You CAN do this with "clean" foods. You won't "grow" as quickly, but each pound you gain will be real muscle, and you'll look better regardless. In college, I bulked over the…

4HB is OK. I have a copy personally. His "Slow Carb" diet is a decent start in regards to nutrition, but not exactly stellar. The workout advice in the book is mediocre at best. The principles aren't wrong, and there's something to be said for minimalism, but Ferriss doesn't exactly have an inspiring physique, so I would argue he errs too far on the side of "less is more."

Bulking then cutting is ill-advised. Fat cells, once created, never die. In other words, once you've "bulked" you've actually made your body more efficient at storing fat and less efficient at burning it. This is going to make the cutting cycle even harder, and the effect is only compounded over time as you continue to bulk/cut. Better to just jump straight into IF in my opinion if you want to go that route. I am a big fan of intermittent fasting, particularly Martin Berkhan's LeanGains method (…

Honestly, the first thing I'd address is the diet. Nutrition is paramount. Unless you're a professional athlete doing an insane amount of training, you can't outrun a bad diet. I don't think it's the be-all, end-all of nutrition, but for fat loss and getting back on the right track, I am a huge proponent of the Paleo/Primal Diet. It cuts out all the processed shit we tend to eat, focuses on meats and veggies, and most people who stick to it see amazing results quickly (I had a client lose 10-lbs…

Depending on your current weight and structure, this can be tough. The go-to exercises with bodyweight are: the air squat (meaning you squat until the crease of your hip is one inch below your knee with no additional weight) the push up and eventually the handstand push up the pull up (single best upper body exercise in my opinion) the lunge any kind of jumping motion (box jumps, burpees) sit ups/planks With bodyweight training, the trick is to go for maximum volume in the minimum amount of time…

True. But getting additional guidance and coaching helps internalize it. I know how to do a power clean, but would still leap at the chance to train with a noted coach to improve my technique. Make sense?

I agree completely. I've been refocusing on my fitness, as my physical appearance has direct impact on my self confidence (of this I am certain). As a result, I've dropped from around 19% body fat down to 13% in the last year (basically doing a modified Wendler 5/3/1 with some light conditioning work). I'm also returning to school to pursue an MBA next month (the Army is fronting the bill, thankfully). I think a lot of my problems come from being raised to be extremely white knight/beta, and the…

I know this all too well. I am ex-Army, and most of my friends are either fraternity brothers or guys I consider like brothers after going downrange with them. But the boozing culture is just engraved into their nature, so I may have to distance myself and branch out.

Weed just makes me a threat to every box of Triscuits or Cheez-its withing a one-mile radius. Additionally, most of my social crowd is either ex-military or ex-fraternity, so bourbon is more accepted than blunts. I think I just need to lay off seeking "escapism" in general and rebuild my confidence in myself.

Hadn't even thought of it from that perspective. Thanks.

Holy Hell what I would have paid to have been present for that. Seriously, brilliant play. You managed to turn her shit test against her, reveal her self-centered nature, and pump up your brother's self-esteem simultaneously. Kick ass.
