Filling a monk mode schedule?

The gym is not your thing? MAKE it your thing. Lifting weights / getting fit in general is a sure fire way to increase your SMV. Sometimes in life, you're going to have to do things you don't want to do. Stop being a little bish.

Learn how to deal in business. You don't need school, just a hungry attitude. To get started I recommend researching aspects that interest you. Some topics include marketing, programming, and consumer psychology.

It's a vital skill to have since it lets you choose your career path rather than let your career choose you.

Do MMA. You'll get ripped both physically and mentally.

If you don't like gym, like me, practice at home. I have nothing against gyms per say, just that it will waste way more time and I'm pressed on time during business days. I bought dumbbells and practice basically the same thing as in Stronglifts 5x5, but with dumbbells. Yes, eventually the amount of weight I can put on dumbbells will run out, but the one I bought allows for up to 52,3 kg per dumbbell, which will get you pretty far. When I start easilly deadlifting that I'm planning on buying a bar to go further (and I don't think I'll get to pressing and squatting 52.3 kg per hand that soon).

Or basically do whatever you want, but get to lifting heavy weights! Do it. Once you start getting stronger, see the weights you can lift increasing, feel how easy it is now to carry heavy stuff around, see your body changing, you'll never look back. But yea, lifting may look intimidating or boring at first. Get some good music, IDK, and just focus on just getting the first three to four excercise days done. Force yourself. From there on you should start having real fun.

I went from detesting any kind of excersise (could only do sports I really loved) to just falling in love with lifting (now I hate when I have to skip a day for some reason).

PS:

Any kind of combat training should not be viewed as a substitute for lifting, unless your combat training incorporates lifting, and even then it probably won't be the focus and won't be enough.
