Anyone here does Yoga?

I'm thinking of taking yoga classes because I've heard its a good place to meet girls, plus I have a lot of time to kill

Do you think yoga will have any negative or positive impact on lifting? I've heard stretching makes you weaker

    Yoga is literally just a bunch of body positions designed to make you commune with demons. Only do it if you want to get posessed by a demon (not in a cool way, but in a really homosexual way)

    I'm a yoga teacher. Asanas (the physical practice people erroneously call "yoga") are not just stretching. Stretching alone will hurt you. Building heat in the body is very important. I usually do this by holding a variation of pic related (adjust depth of squat to your needs and ability) for 15 minutes, then move into a modified 12 set Sun Salutation practice. You likely don't need anything more than this for basic physical fitness, and you can do it till the day you die. I recommend it as a foundation.

    As far as flexibility making you weak, do you think Van Damme is weak? I guess it's relative.

      yoga has it's roots in the use of psychedelics and marajuana. it's literally stretching until you're blazed out of your mind, then it makes alot more sense.

      and then it becomes extremely sexual and effective at relieving tension in the core, pelvis, spine and groin, it's very literally all a sexual endurance/fertility ritual, and historically anything having to do with that generally involves psychoactive chemicals.

      inb4 dead sober people invented hinduism and buddhism and yoga, these dudes were absolutely blitzed

        Hinduism comes from the aryans when they migrated there. Psychedelics could be involved, but weed no. Not even close.

          See, the aryans went to the area around India and spread that religion, which is probably closest to the original aryan religion. That's why swastikas are abundant there. They got appropriated into Buddhism after it split of from Hinduism so you'll find them all over Asia.

          Anyway, important piece of the Hindu, and most likely the aryan religions is the worship of cows. We know the people with the highest rates of lactase production are Europeans and Indians. This is because cows and milk were extremely important to the aryans, and they spread that to India and Europe during their migratory periods. Milk is such a great food and allows you to survive wherever you go so long as there is grass, but also psylocibe mushrooms grow from cow dung. This could be one of the reasons for cow worship.

            Religions mix and meld and change all the time. Symbols also travel really far regardless of religious practices, as their concepts can be universal. We don't know if Hinduism is the closest to what religion those aryans practiced, and those aryans might've been multiple related religions, as they weren't really an empire or a monolith. Just had a shared language and were nomads in that area.
            Assuming because a mushroom existed somewhere, it had any more influence on religion than any other psychedelic or lack thereof is just that, an assumption. Spirituality is plenty complex even without evidence of psychedelic usage. Mushrooms with psilocybin are also found in native fungus in all continents. Worship of cows has nothing to do with it.

              No, specifically Hindus worship cows. It's a big thing. They're not even allowed to honk at them if they're blocking the road. Cow worship is not a new addition either, they've been considered sacred from the beginning. Why would a religion hold cows so dearly not to eat them, but to preserve them? They only produce two significant things, and that's milk and the psychedelic mushrooms which grow from their poop.

                Lots of cultures worshiped lots of animals. What does this have to do with psychedelics? Because some of these mushrooms grow in cow poop?
                >Why would a religion hold cows so dearly not to eat them, but to preserve them?
                Same reason every other culture worships cats or dogs or birds or whatever animal. The only difference between Hindu's cow worship and everyone else is other religions that praise animals as something more than animals died off.
                >They only produce two significant things, and that's milk and the psychedelic mushrooms which grow from their poop.
                1) there is no evidence that Hindus refer to those mushrooms, 2) lots of animals make milk, 3) those mushrooms can grow in any type of feces, cows were just more numerous, and 4) Hinduism isn't special in it's concepts when compared to other religions and all religions have just as much depth, spirituality, mysticism, and whatever else you think makes you think Hinduism was drug inspired.
                Hinduism arose like any other religion: Countless people being spiritual and mixing and sharing ideas, both on and off drugs.

                Yet the aryans loved cows. They took them all the way to europe. They took the same gods too. Gave them different names as language changed.
                >those mushrooms can grow in any type of feces
                They can grow in many types, not any type. Good luck trying to grow them from your own.
                >cows were just more numerous
                (X) doubt
                >Hinduism isn't special in it's concepts when compared to other religions
                I know. It's very similar to the other regions the aryans went. Indra - Thor - Zeus - Jupiter. Different names, same gods.

                You are reading really bad sources then, unfortunately the better sources I could suggest aren't in English. There was a corruption of a lot of academia on ancient religions and tribal practices in America due to both the hippie movement, and new age religious movements which seeked to superimpose their own values on their subject, just as research from earlier periods seeked to superimpose Christian ideas on the subject. Lots of good writings on the topic from the Soviet Union (and post-soviet countries), but the majority of it still isn't translated, although you can probably find some of the baltic writers who may translate some into English.

        Really it's not that deep, sorry apes didn't evolve into humans BECAUSE some apes did drugs, it's not real. No Marijuana isn't a magical cure-all drug. No technology does not all come from communicating with mechanical gnomes by taking DMT or ayahusca. You really need to sober up and get off those forums. Notice how all the people who openly say they take DMT/ayahuasca are weird loser types, and at best are "creatives", while all the tech leaders aren't saying they take it, and there were plenty of significant technological developments in the past by people who had no access to these drugs. I'm not trying to say that there wasn't drug usage for a large portion of human history, but it was not and never was a central point or requirement of technological or cultural development, but just a recreation activity that some people chose to partake in.

          Potentiation is a priming and pre semi-exhaustion of certain muscles so they are used during a lift. I.e. if you are over using your chest and shoulders in bench press you do 100 reps of triceps with a lighter weight and when you do bench you will automatically use a lot triceps on the movement which is the true way to bench. The warm up is a good enough work out for most beginners. It just sounded similar to what you posted except yours is for time not reps.
