If you're just new to TRP then best get your head down and apply the principles for a couple of years.
But no.
It's 2 weeks of TRP and now you're a bona fide life coach.
Sorry OP but it's posts like this that confirm my belief that we need a TRP for over 30s.

Just because some loosers take years to achieve goals it does not mean I cannot apply TRP and get fast results in 2 weeks. Surely u guys should be proud. Time does not measure mastery, RESULTS measure mastery. Not saying I am a master just that I learned fast. Sorry if being a good student offends you.

See that shit people? There use to be a time (when patriarchy was the rule) where students were learning from experienced masters. Students shut their mouth and listen to the elderly guru imparting his multi-decades old knowledge. Decades of practice were required before you could be considered a master, and decades more before you could be a teacher. That's how humanity produced the greatest artists, craftsmen and scientists.
Now millennials think they can be a yoga teacher after taking a two-weeks intensive class in Bali.
Fuck that shit. Pay some respect.

Your point was made, now slow down and stop lashing at the kid

I only wrote one message your honor! But I'll bend the knee to hierarchy as I advocate and leave it there.

You have a point about the experience aspect. However, surely you 'elders' should be enthusiastic about the youth being inspired by your philosophies to improve their lives. I don't know who you are and so no. F-ck you. I don't respect you because you sound like a know-it-all patronising ass-lick. The best way to learn is to teach. Fact. I though the younger members could be inspired by someone in a more similiar position to them. By a peer. I know I am no expert, but why do you actually care if one post actually relates back to the sidebar. I am sticking to the community theme. Otherwise I might as well type this sh×t in any community.

You need to learn before you can teach. Otherwise you fail to teach properly, and merely cement incorrect knowledge and habits into your brain.
Start small - frame reports. Apply Red Pill principles and then share things you learn from that. But first learn those principles.

No, thats exactly what it means.

This is what I sometimes hate about this sub. People regurgitate the sidebar and think it's new content.

In the future how about you write a FR and bring up these "tips" you presented through personal example. Guarantee you'll be better received, learn more yourself, and have something of value to add.

You seem like a neutral. Your points are absolutely correct. But they're also said before.

I don't have a gym membership. Not an excuse. If you can't afford a gym, start doing push ups at home.
This is what I do.
It costs nothing and even 20-30 pushups a day on a regular basis helps to give you definition.
As an older guy myself I actually pulled a muscle in the beginning and had to stop for a few months, but I've worked it back and do them regularly now.
It's free.
[–]Marcus11381 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link
Absolutely, push-ups are great for chest, and pretty good for the triceps and core. Do them consistently (don't even have to be balls to the wall, just do a decent amount every day or two) and I guarantee that you'll have a chest that girls will comment on in 1-2 years, maybe sooner. (This assumes a low bodyfat % though. If you're 20% fat, push-ups won't do shit until you lose weight.)
Throw in some cheap adjustable dumbbells for biceps, or a pull-up bar, and you have a great home workout.

And nothing was said about lower body work. Seriously, there's more to the body that pecs, biceps and abs. Additionally, if you don't do moderate to heavy squats, you're just playing.
[–]Marcus11380 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Totally. Much harder to do serious leg work without equipment, you're limited mostly to lunge variations and endurance work. If you can get a squat rack or hit the gym, that's definitely worth doing.
[–]sr_921 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
A backpack filled with some form of weights is ideal if you don't have a gym membership. Also, somersault squats are amazing and don't require much equipment. You just need to be more creative for lower body work w/o a gym.
[–]Marcus11381 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Good tips, cheers! Hadn't heard of somersault squats, I'll give them a shot.
[–]sr_920 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
They are amazing given that your knees aren't shit.

You can sprint up long flights of stairs and uphill.

It's starting to develop my chest a bit.
As an old guy (50's) it really doesn't matter as much compared to a young guy, but it's nice to feel some extra muscle.
I used to do the gym four days a week from about 30-45 years old but sort of got out of it until recently wanting more chest muscles again.
[–]TerribleVania1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I'm doing pushups, pullups and squats with weight (i use an old backpack) and getting good results. However my cortisol is still very high, i need to lower that shit somehow.
