Jordan Peterson said that people overestimate what they can do in a year but underestimate what they can do in 5 years. I thought, perhaps that applies to lifting as well.
I've been lifting seriously for about a year but am struggling just to add 5 lbs to most of my major lifts, with the only exception being seated leg curls which I've been killing for some reason.
So for any experienced natty lifters here (be honest), how much progress were you able to make in 1 year and 5 years?

Jordan Peterson also said clams are what we should act like so you probably shouldn't listen to him for advice
clean ur penis sir
your sister licks the smegma out of my foreskin israelite
You demotivational homosexuals need a life lol, ever try lifting?
Saying Jordan Peterson is a Christian conservative shill and a moron is not demotivational. Unless you're Jordan Peterson, in which case frick you lol
He's not Christion lol.
Also hating on Christians was cool like a decade ago but now it's just cringe. Touch grass anon.
?t=43
He pushes christian conservative values and acts like he believes in god. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...
What do you think it means to "act like God exists?" I think it's clear he's referring to morality. In other words, he doesn't rape, steal, murder, etc. If having good morals automatically makes you a Christian by your definition then you're parroting a strawman atheists have been using for decades.
Also what Christian do you know who ACTUALLY talks like this about God? A Christian has no good reason to be so cryptic about his faith.
Traditionalist conservatives hide their religious alignement all the time, because if they were open most people would recognize them as religious whackjobs. They don't say abortion is against God, they make an appeal to science about when life begins and argue that it's murder. They don't say being gay is against God, they say all teachers are groomers and it's a mental illness. Jordan Peterson doesn't say women don't belong in the workplace because God said they should be at home raising kids, he just heavily implies it while saying he doesn't know how to interact with women in a work environment.
He's larping as an outlaw professor to attract a younger crowd, he can't do that and also be outwardly Christian cause the kids wouldn't listen to him on Joe Rogan anymore.
He delivered an entire lecture titled "Who Dares Say He Believes in God?" where he goes into depth about the nuanced way he thinks about Faith and public pronouncements/attestations of it. On top of several different occasions in other talks in interviews where he's said different versions of, "I resist the question when it's asked because I know the asker is trying to fit me into a box and/or join their club, and I won't have it".
You won't listen to it though, I know. You're not a serious person with a serious problem with the man or the content of his ideas. You're just a homosexual redditor with an axe to grind. And you should go back.
>I resist the question when it's asked because I know the asker is trying to fit me into a box
"I don't like answering questions because I know the asker is looking for a concrete answer about my position on something"
Yes Jordan, people ask you questions so that you answer them, and your answer informs their opinions. This is the brilliance of an intellectual powerhouse.
Detective moron here has it all figured out
Your argument literally boils down to
>if they disagree with leftoids, they are secretly Christians
Take your meds, schizo. Stop grooming kids, learn to use a condom, and educate yourself on women entering the workplace and the negative effects it's had on both wages, and the dating sphere.
>inb4 off topic, incel, etc.
Shut the frick up, you troon. No, I'm not a Christcuck. Go clean your room.
God hates gays
Well put.
Imagine thinking refusing to answer a simple and direct question is some kind of 4d chess instead of being an intellectually dishonest coward.
Refer to this post.
I’m talking about Peterson, not you. I don’t give a frick whether you believe in God or not because you don’t have any influence over masses of unguided young men whose minds haven’t finished developing yet.
He believes in the importance of morals, he doesn't actually belive in god in the literal sense. Anons post is just one fat strawman with no proof, but of course, you nod and clap because of confirmation bias.
He is Christian. He pretends not to be because a chunk of his followers are atheist neckbeards.

This is his first of "12 Rules for Life". Anyone who has said they read this book and found it meaningful is either lying and didn't read it, or still thinks Harry Potter is the greatest work of fiction ever written.

Wow this guy is so funny and inspiring!?!
Pleas sir where to find more sirs?
This is what happens when you are low IQ and try to make sense of the world
He talks about the lobsters to explicate about evolutionary psychology and the biological roots of Hierarchy as a ubiquitous fact of life. Not to say we should "act like clams". You would know this if you had actually read the book. And I hope to God you didn't actually read it, because you're going to have a hard life if you're just that stupid or your reading comprehension really is that bad.

Trannies hate JBP the most. Leftoids hate JBP the second most. Poltards hate JBP third most. If someone is shitting on him, rest assured they are one of the above, most likely one of the first two.
Every influential psychoanalyst was doing drugs. Every influential everything else was too. JBP just admitted it. I respect him more for that, not less.
You should not be struggling to add 5 lbs in a year. Are you eating enough protein? Or are you not training enough? Or are you not training with enough intensity? 1lb per month should be easy.
> Every influential psychoanalyst was doing
Coke or amphetamines for productivity, not fricking benzos to check out of life.
He was prescribed benzos because his wife was dying of cancer and he was depressed, you Black personhomosexual.
Yeah, he used drugs to emotionally abandon his wife when she had cancer.
The context makes it worse, not better.
>Being a bumbling mess because a loved one has cancer is le good because...
>IT JUST LE IS, OKAY?
If he found a cure for her cancer you'd fault him for not living through the whole experience of seeing a loved one waste away.
If you’ve ever had someone close to you go on bezos you’d get it. It’s not like going on an SSRI or something. The person is just gone.
You're such a fricking homosexual.

well, he advocates weightlifting, so...
why would this man be part of anyone's fitness world he looks exactly like the book nerd that he is

like his 'clean you room' fortune cookie advice and the whole 'addiction isn't real' thing he fails at actually practicing what he preaches
addiction ISN'T real in any scientific sense. It's more of a cultural concept.

Is he Michael Jordan's brother?
God this fricking idiot again. Amazing people still listen to him and his moron daughter.
You're right. We should instead listen to dead meatheads like Rich Piana.
I don't listen to his daughter, she has absolutely nothing to show for except for being his daughter.
As for him, I actually respect him for explaining what the bible is about. It's ironic and sad that I did not have even a vague idea what the book is about after having grown up in a Catholic country. I think most of my peers learned nothing about the book because they laugh at it and despise it. JBP showed me why the book hasn't been forgotten for 2k years and is a foundational text of our western culture.
I am not religious.
P.s. I also respect him for being open minded and having the courage to stand up to communists and totalitarians. However, that doesn't mean I am looking for him to become my daddy, I have a father already.
exactly this, all the HES A JUNKIE posters are pathetic
you dont need to worship the guy but to pretend he has nothing to offer is ridiculous
One time Mikhalia Peterson told a guest on her podcast that she was a huge fan of his, and he was like, "And I'm a huge fan of your father's." I just about died from the cringe.
JP has a lot good insight in spite of his personal problems. Could care less for his daughter though.
He's a paid hack.
It was his keto diet that turned him braindead.
>Jordan Peterson said
Stopped reading there
Why does he make trannies so mad? I stopped caring about him years ago but they're still going strong
The same reason everything makes lefties mad. They took an issue completely out of context and seethed over it. JP expressed his distaste for a Canadian law that would force people to use one's "preferred pronouns" and the LGBT community had a predictable and stupid kneejerk reaction.
>expressed his distaste for a Canadian law
>took issue with the government in canada compelling speech
That isn't what C-16 does. He just lied about the bill to anyone who would listen. It passed, literally nothing here changed. No one's ever been arrested for misgendering. It was entirely a publicity stunt to launch him into the "Intellectual Dark Web" grift. And it worked for some reason.
>No one's ever been arrested for misgendering.
Give it some time. Already happened in the UK.
Is the UK the same as Canada? Do they have the same laws? Was it in the UK that JP was talking about legislation? No? So why the frick does it matter what the Brits are doing? I don't want my country to be anything like theirs.
>I don't want my country to be anything like theirs.
>elected Trudeau
>This insane leftist thing isn't happening and it's not a big deal and it's a good thing
Kys
C16 isn't about fricking pronouns, you absolute moron. It means you can't do hate crimes to people because of their gender. Misgendering is not a hate crime.
What is a "hate crime"? Wasn't commiting a "hate crime" already illegal? Do you seriously not think "misgendering” will become a hate crime?
A hate crime is a well defined thing in the Canadian criminal code. C-16 is about what constitutes an "identifiable group", you can see the definition at the bottom of the section. All C-16 did was add gender identity to the list of protected characteristics you can't advocate genocide or invite hatred towards. It didn't change any of the definitions of hate crimes. It isn't about pronouns.
And the other relevant section. To recap, you can't advocate for the genocide of transgender people, and you can't call for violence against them, in public, where such an action could lead to a breach of the peace.
But all this was too much for mister Jordan Peterson, who somehow looked at this and thought it was about pronouns.
So you seriously can't imagine a scenario in which "misgendering" is considered "promotion of hatred" or punished in some way?
Also, "hate speech laws" are terminal AIDS any way you look at them.
Oh yeah I have a lot of faith in the terminally disingenuous leftist crowds to not misuse this fricking law when they constantly say shit like
>Misgendering is LITERALLY an act of violence sweaty
Go frick yourself homosexual
Room-cleaners btfo
frick me you really are a dunce, or just trying to win an argument like a moron
what blows my mind is how much clout JBP got by misinterpreting Bill C-16. I actually thought I was missing something when he blew up in popularity (Psychology and Law background myself). Like, he was so wrong that lawyers across the country wrote an open letter explaining what the bill actually was. He even issued a full retraction of his statements a few years later.
The guy's a hack.

Heh, faithless fool... my posting is beyond your meager faculties...

Who cares, anything that hurts trannies is a great thing
He took issue with the government in canada compelling speech through legislation. Trannies took this as him refusing to call a troony xir.
What i don't get about the pronoun shit is it's only applicable to third person pronouns. In other words, how you refer to someone when they aren't present generally. So, in reality, this hill trannies want to die on is only relevant when they aren't present.
He said people shouldn’t be forced by law to play along with their delusions and that was a bridge too far apparently. For all the hate he gets, he hit the nail on the head on that issue, one of the few in academia to speak up, and was ahead of his time.
In 5 years I went from a 95lb bench press to somewhere around 365lbs. I made comparable progress on my other lifts too.
Good for you. I started lifting for the first time 5 years ago and then quit and came back and then did kettlebells and then dumbbells and I still can't bench 2 pl8
zyzz > jordan peterson > moreplatesmoredates
Wash ur peenus lol
Everyone has their peak strength. Maybe you've hit yours if you're struggling to go up in weight. Time for a steroid cycle
>I've been lifting seriously for about a year but am struggling just to add 5 lbs to most of my major lifts
STRUGGLING TO ADD 5 POUNDS TO YOUR LIFTS, OVER A YEAR? did i interpet this right?
You did not interpret this right, my bad. I'm saying I just recently hit a point where I'm struggling. I've made considerable progress in one year but plateaued out in the past few months.
Happened to me as well. I stopped working out nearly as hard for nearly 3 months then was able to hit higher weight once I began again. Look up deloading.
Depends on how smart you are. If you just keep hammering the same lifts over and over for 5 years prepare to stall quickly and indefinately
>How much progress did you make in 1 year
None, I haven't been consistent for a year.
I know that in a year I could lose all the weight I want and then gain some muscle. In 5 years of consistent lifting I could pretty much reach my final goal body I think.
>Jordan Peterson said that people overestimate what they can do in a year but underestimate what they can do in 5 years
lol that's a bill gates quote, fricking grifter
that homosexual is a dyel. actions not words Black person is what matters here. frickoff to /misc/

Jordan Peterson also managed to get addicted to benzos and loose an argument to an immigrant with speech impediments
Not exactly someone I would trust
He also got off the meds, was also a teacher at Harvard, wrote several best selling books, worked as a psychologist for decades, did research in a lab, created multiple other companies, stay married to the same wife for all his life. Benched more then you and provided more value to the people close to him and the world on large then what you could have done in 100 life times.
This doesnt apply to lifitng. You will get majority of your gains in the first few years on proper routine. If you stall you change up your routine but there is also good chance you have reached you genetic limit.
youre overthinking, just like thinking its valid to listen whatever hes saying sorry for my bad english but I hope Jordan Peterson dies of overdose
Peterson is the epitome of "feels > reals". He doesn't make any arguments, he doesn't care about what's true, only about feels.
This guy lectures for 2 hours without saying anything substantial.
Kinda like how you just shat out this post without saying anytging substantial.
I've made more of an argument in that comment than Peterson does in entire "lectures".
No.
Another opinion. Give me the REALS, not your FEELS!
I'm only giving you reals, everything I've said is a fact.
Watch any lecture of his and try to formalize any arguments he makes (your sheet will be empty).
So you're saying self improvement andexercise is le bad?
>Exercise makes me feel exhausted which does not feel good which is a miserable way of living your life which is why you shouldn't do it
- a petersonian argument
He literally advocates lifting weights, trannoid.
Well he shouldn't, I just proved why using one of his most popular "arguments" against postmodernism.
No, you water down his message and remove all context then you use homosexual circular logic to make it work for you. Clean your room, lift some weights.
JP makes morons and troon morons seethe. He's not perfect but he does give some great advice.
The man is basically the modern version of Ayn Rand.
>both wrote multi-page pop lit in academic prose boiling down to "You're in charge of your own life; take responsibility for your own choices", which shouldn't be controversial or novel advice in a healthy society

>neither one is particularly terrible as a writer and both have some interesting work outside of what they're known for (Fountainhead and Anthem have good prose, JBP's Bible lectures are supposed to be solid) but if you point that out, Group B will accuse you of belonging to Group A
>both versions of Group B will respond with endless anecdotes about their personal lives or bad faith arguments about their work (which they got from other internet commentators; you don't actually think these morons read, do you?) to justify why they hate them so much
>tells you to set goals for your life, tell the truth, get friends, eat healthy and start a family
>somehow makes 90% of the internet seethe
the implication that you should not try to change the world until you sort yourself out triggered a lot of people
I understand why this can be construed as a bad thing, because it does come off as
>don't try fixing the world, goy
But at the same time, if you're not doing well and your life is an unstable mess, should you really be trying to make change for the world when you don't know how to take care of yourself? That's what leads to shit like the echo chamber schizoids trying to push their mentally deranged ideals onto others, like the promotion of weakness, fat acceptance, etc.
You know ~~*who*~~ doesn't want people to do those things
It is stupid to apply Peterson's comment to lifting. Lifting is a case of diminished returns. At the start you gain muscle fast, then it gradually slows down.
There is really no point in taking lifting seriously because in 6 months to a year or two years you will pretty much gain all you are going to gain. This thing about taking 10 years to get a body is both generally an exaggeration and it's all people who started at under 20 years old, when the body is still growing and developing in some ways. You can't just start at 27 and expect the same linear progression, by the time you hit 30 you're essentially the final article, more or less, unless you've been doing something very wrong or go on roids.
Whatever the case you should not expect to take up weightlifting at any arbitrary age and gain linearly year on year.
The point he makes is about the improving of a skill, learning better work ethic, and using that as one portion of general self improvement.
>6 month progress is the same as 1 or 2 years of progress
stfu dyel
The point of 6 months to 2 years is that even after 6 months you're going to already have some insights into your trajectory. If your arms are still twigs after 6 months proper training and bulking sorry but they are never going to be trunks you see people walking around with. After two years then there's a clear trajectory, a slowing down of the gains and a dramatic body transformation is unlikely without doing roids, bloatmaxing or completely changing diet and routine.
The more common saying in psychology is usually "you overestimate what you can do in a day...", which makes a lot more sense. Idk if Peterson fricked it up, or OP.
Hahahhaha kys dyel
>Man on internet said...
Stop listening to these homosexuals. Be your own man. Don't even listen to this advice. Frick you , frick me, frick it all.
Zizék is based. Peterson, however, is dangerous because he always speaks in peremptory manner, pretending he's some kind of "wise" man
Zizek is a colossal Black personhomosexual. He's Noam Chomsky with a shitty accent. In what way is he "based"?
what is there not to like about him? one of the most influential philosophers of our time
His called a philosopher but isn't spending is ideology explicitly worshipping Black folk and homosexuals
>what is there not to like about him? one of the most influential philosophers of our time
What the frick kind of argument is this? Because someone is "influential" you should like him? More often than not it's the opposite.
>he's a hypocrite so he's wrong
You have to be a leftist to believe shit like this, and only because it allows you to sidestep any pathetic argument you might make against the actual message
Peterson rarely makes arguments, and whenever he does it's "leftism makes you feel bad so it's WRONG!!"
what are you doing here Jordan? Did you wash foreskin today?
this junkie is so insecure he filters who can comment on his twitter posts.
no wonder /misc/ likes him
I like how he declared he was going on a twitter social media and internet detox hiatus with only his media team posting book tour dates or whatever - and then the next day he was back on twitter saying how skinny chicks are more attractive than fat ones.
he really earned and deserves his 6 PhDs from the University of Canada
Can we just nuke the leaves away at this point?
