Alright IST. It's time. I've decided to sculpt myself into a god, help me out.
The plan is to maximize the effort in all the fields that matter.
>highly respected skill if done well (it's painting for me)
>diet (trying to maintain a good balance between carbs and meat)
>lifting (beginner gains here, gotta be more consistent)
>socializing (I'm good at socializing only when I feel good, so I have to improve everything else first)
Basically my goal is to improve everything in my life that gives me energy and makes me more effective both physically and mentally. To be an all-round man. What would you recommend? What works for you? Do you also have such goals for yourself? Pic rel is my goal body
I’m trans if that matters
well that certainly makes it more complicated to feel good
You should probably add in reading books so you will eventually stop saying stupid things like "all-round man."
Why is it stupid?
Spending time in nature is severely underrated, number's game with women is also very important, keep growing my man
>keep growing my man
i will bro, thanks.
>reading
I'm not convinced this is as important as everyone claims it to be. Practical experience will always beat it out book smarts.
Reading is supplemental, not primary, and very quickly begins to border on more frowned upon, trivial pursuits, such as doom scrolling or watching mindless sitcoms as a means of killing time.
>let me just get practical experience out there in the middle of a WW1 battlefield
>I'm not convinced this is as important as everyone claims it to be. Practical experience will always beat it out book smarts.
That's just because you're moronic. Nothing you do will fix that
t. never worked with his hands
Please enjoy being a simple minded fool with the vocabulary of a third grader from the 40s.
>Reading is supplemental, not primary
>Eating and sleeping is supplemental, not primary
ngmi. Start listening to audio books while you lift at the barest minimum. holy fricking moron
Perfect physique for ancient Hoplite warriors.
LOL OP wants to start bulking to become a circular oomper loomper
Just become all-edge man
somewhat yes, id say a few things that have crossed my mind such as:
>Toning down garbage content i consume
>Spending more time in nature
>Going back to reading
>Increasing my cardio as much as possibe
>Try to up my numbers (women) as much as possible especially now in the summer
Is that pic you?
It's my goal body.
I meant painting on a canvas yes, I can definitely get far, pic rel is something I'm working on right now (digital).
Anon, it's a lovely painting and I'm sure you're skilled at this. Do you have a finished painting you can show me?
Sure, I like to paint portraits, so that's what I do.
This isn't a means of income, though, is it? You have another skill which is in-demand?
I'm in a tricky spot in my life, imagine a recovering junkie who was abusing for a decade and is trying to crawl out of that hole on his own, all alone. I'm not a junkie, but I'm on that level. So really what I need is to work on the basics, and work my way up. I don't have anything except painting and my body is in a bad state (very skinny). I've been improving though.
I feel for you, anon, and I sincerely wish you all the best. Very happy to see you're taking initiative, that's extremely important - proud of you. Keep at the painting, go to the gym, and when you're ready - find something to get really good at (something people will pay you for, readily). Could be anything, just get good at it.
You'll get there anon. You're already on your way.
Appreciated
Is your art practice completely digital?
If so I would really recommend trying out using physical mediums.
>man posts beautiful piece of art
>but how are you going to pay taxes with that!!!
Are you his dad? Stfu. Unreal how cucked some people are.
Beauty is the antithesis of the hebrew thus they can't help but recoil at the mention of it.
good goyim, without a means of income in a field that contributes to the decline of our moral world, and exchanges pieces of your spirit for a pittance, how will you ever find a non-virgin stupid b***h woman to have sex with?
That's really good, wish I could critique it but it's pretty much perfect for what it aims to do. From a subject stance, the only thing I could say is that it's a bit of a boring subject, but from a technical perspective it's fantastic.
Maybe the only thing I'd do different is colder harder highlights in the hair, with sharp shapes to make it pop and give shape to the head. Though I get that'd remove some focus from the eyes, I think it's worth.
Wow, mogs me to oblivion, I can’t paint for shit. How long have you been at it? Are you good at draftsmanship too or are you going rendermonkey mode? These were from almost a year ago I think, my line work mogs my brush strokes to oblivion
>athleticism, intelligence, creativity and empathy
The last one is a meme, but cope all you’d like about the virtues of it
im feeling your feelings right now anon. they're racist
Understanding what the other person feels != actually feeling them.
It’s a meme disease that lets you get taken advantage of and offers little benefit but unnecessary heartache. I don’t need to imagine and feel the suffering of someone I’d think of assaulting to know that I’d get in trouble for it, that there’s no benefit to it, to not do it. I also wouldn’t need to feel hungry when seeing a homeless man to know that he, logically is.
It’s not even an insult fren, it’s a tip I’m handing out free of charge. The sooner you stop taking the burden of others on you, the sooner you can live a satisfying life.
weaponized empathy is actually key to sociopathing effectively. in cut-and-dry physical scenarios with obvious causes empathy is, as you say, unnecessary, but when it comes to more sophisticated social spheres (the ones which generally have higher stakes) the more you're able to imagine feelings that you yourself would never have the more you'll be able to manipulate others
Thanks, I screencapped this for future reference. Does the latter part of your message mean I have to go out of my way to read others right, or is being likeable and being carried by the halo effect of my appearance enough? I can get along with anyone but I feel like these complex social games come naturally only to women
it will come eventually to the point where it comes naturally but it helps to ask yourself questions like "what does he/she feel about this?" rather than trying to imagine how you would feel in a similar situation and learn basically by paying attention to their actions (i.e. what outcomes they act towards as opposed to what outcomes they talk about, this distinction is quite significant) and facial expressions. to address your first point, the halo effect will carry you far, but you have to know whether or not it's working by noticing things. not everyone is gonna like you for being attractive and some people will be envious, figuring out which is which is important
Or stop being an insensitive psychopath who doesn't understand why people don't like him. Turning yourself into a manipulative shit to deal with the problem is the wrong way to do this.
>basic communication skills
>"WAAAH! COMPLEX SOCIAL GAMES!"
Look, I'm not coming down on you for not knowing how this works. I have hearing loss and this has been hell for me to learn, but you need to understand that the basic issue you're having is that people can't read your body language. When people never feel chemistry with you and you have a dour attitude it's hard not to start despising you. It's just human nature to want to get rid of the person who won't engage with the group, and some people snap harder than others.
You sound hurt mate
Yes. I was hurt for a very long time, and I don't want other people to hurt like I did. I'll take a psychological stab in the dark if I think it might stop a tragedy.
What “tragedy” could possibly arise from these harmless internet posts?
People learning the wrong lesson. I've seen people brutalized because of people taking those ideas too far. I got accused of murder once. It's just not funny anymore.
Your spine is very inflexible. Try doing seiza and tall kneeling.
Based painter anons mog the shit out of every doomposter on the board
Stay strong and keep the grind
These are astounding. How did you learn and what program/tools do you use?
Good luck on your journey anon.
I used to draw a lot in High School but now I don't know where to begin. /ic/ is dogshit any advice?
Do you sell them online? Or have a social media presence?
I don't make any money with it and I have a very small presence. It's just something I do to keep myself sane really.
oh I thought you would life of that respected skill, nvm. What do you do for work?
Nothing
wdym. Neet or retired?
>painting
When you say painting, do you mean blue-collar type painting or sitting in front of a canvas? If it's the latter, that's not highly respected (unless you're insanely good at it, which you're probably not) and you should choose something else
Here's my goals.
>be the best at my main hobby
I'm already better at it than anyone I've met (as far as I know), and a lot of them did it for a living. So it's going well. I literally intend to be the best in the world at it, if it's the last thing I do.
>maintain my second hobby, lifting
>become a social elite, capable of shining in any social situation, interesting and funny, can talk my way in and out of situations and seduce people
This is going to be tricky because I'm pretty moronic.
>frick multiple 18 year olds
Everyone I've had sex with up until now has been older than 18, idk why but I want to be able to say to myself I frick 18 year olds. It's random but one of my goals for the next few years.
>make a successful program and sell it
Thinking of making something to sell to DARPA or DoD, won't go into details, but I want to have atleast 1 successful proprietary software at some point in my life.
>possibly get revenge
I'm moronic and can't let go of grudges. I'd like to get revenge at some point if possible on a few frickers who did me dirty. I assume if I get too happy I'll end up dropping this idea though, it'd probably be too much of a hassle.
There's your info, data-mining friendo. Make sure to sell it to the highest bidder.
>won't even say what his "main hobby" is
>goes out of his way to talk about his sex life with gender-neutral words
Tell me you're a huge homosexual without telling me you're a huge homosexual.
shalom, yes let's talk some more about homosexuals instead of goals
self-improvement is racist and a boring topic anyways
>Thinking of making something to sell to DARPA or DoD
I was invested in Anon's story at the beginning but this was the tipping point
This is all so fricking cringe and reminds me of that "normal people never had to actively think about self-improvment, things just happened for them" copypasta
All the posts above are is just a pathetic attempt at patting yourself on the back.
>"Look how much I want to improve, I wrote out a whole essay!"
>"putting thought into words, I'm totally going to do it!"
Meanwhile it's a weekend and you're on IST. And not only that, you wrote your gay little posts several hours ago and are still here replying.
It's like the thing with people who kill themselves. The ones who actually do it don't talk constantly about how they're going to do it - they just do it. The people who succeed don't talk about how much they're going to succeed, they just buckle down and do it
post body
I didn't ask for permission to improve, I'm trying to exchange ideas, but thanks for your input lil bro
>I'm going to improve guys, I'm totally going to do it! But uh, not today, tomorrow is when I start!
Get the frick off the internet first, moron
Yeah, it's a bit late today, tomorrow should be good.
post body
You're mentally ill. I've met people with absolutely elite-tier genetics. They've got statuesque physiques and the mind of a genius. Every single one of them told me that their default state before they started training was ottermode (22 FFMI, 15% body fat). It's impossible to look like Chad Thunderwiener without working your ass off in the gym, demoralising homosexual.
>i'm going to SCULPT myself into an UBERMENSCH GOD! myesss >: )
I open my mouth like this albeit I don't share his facial aesthetic
>>i'm going to SCULPT myself into an UBERMENSCH GOD! myesss >: )
i think you got the bulk of it.
i'd add a few things:
>spending more time in nature and outside (hiking, hunting, fishing, kayaking, camping, etc.)
>skin care routine
>having a good sense of style and investing in high quality, fitted clothes
>Read classics and develop your interest in art
>Cardio
>Spend little to no time online/scrolling and spend that time instead on a hobby
>Learn to cook properly
>Get your money up
there's always more shit you can do, but what's important in the long run is to enjoy the moment, enjoy the process and try to keep the stress levels down. Stress will ruin your enjoyment of life.
also, have a concrete long term goal. what are you improving yourself for?
>what are you improving yourself for?
Personally? I just want to experience that feeling that I overcame myself. That despite all the odds, I made it. I want to prove something to myself, that life can be more than it is now.
What's after that? I really don't know, it's something I'll figure out as I go.
>skin care routine
Ignore. Just have good hygiene, wash properly, sleep well, don't eat shit and exercise.
>having a good sense of style and investing in high quality, fitted clothes
Ignore if you're not a homosexual. Just don't dress like a child.
i'm going to SCULPT myself into an UBERMENSCH GOD!
Yes.
The ubermensch pursues one impossible goal to push humanity forward. Being an all rounder is not ubermensch.
>God in lowercase
>"a God"
Its already over
i'm....i'm gonna....i'm gonna IMPROOOOOV
>hobby
>be healthy
>socialize
wow never heard this one before
>highly respected skill if done well (it's painting for me)
>socializing (I'm good at socializing only when I feel good, so I have to improve everything else first)
That shit wouldn't matter at all if you actually reached that body. Halo effect would kick in HARD. People would by default perceive you as an achiever in other fields and be socially drawn to you just because you'd be extremely attractive.
So you should put all your effort into looking good.
Function and form are not enemies. If your form has no function, then it's gross. If your function has no form, then it's gross. You are gross.
This is what I believe all shitty Instagram fitness c**ts lack. Yes, they have a great bodies, but they are possibly the most uninteresting people on the internet. Posting rehashed unoriginal workouts that aren't as effective as old school bodybuilding shit. Being an modern day renaissance man should be the goal of every white man here. We are the only race that harnesses athleticism, intelligence, creativity and empathy.
It should be your goal to be a symbol of strength in all of these areas.
amen.
beaner here, im aztecmaxxing, gonna run and find white tourists and politely scream at them while i ask that they join my tribe in the middle of narco territory.
People are such moronic Black folk on This site. Why the frick would i need a reason to improve? Oh shit guys i havent philosophically coped myself into a reason for not being miserable and Living my best life, guess i should kill myself now. Frick the israelites that invented This idea og having reasons for everything. Back in the day you just used to do shit because thats how it was. You pude tages because you had to, you farmes because you had to, you had a family because you had to. Now that all these things come so easily you actually have to be told why sustaining a Healthy lifestyle is a good idea, instead of just doing it? Your forefathers writhe in their graves.
>not being miserable and Living my best life
those are reasons
>You pude tages because you had to
So true. I know full-grown men who haven't puded a tage in their entire life. Unbelievable.
So you found your reason easily and have no concept of why it's hard to find a reason. Literally you have no place in this conversation.

https://mega.nz/folder/v6AzSDSJ#9nFO3qrNGUEKs3M-uMFfuw
have fun
dont download this
contains .js files
.js files are javascript files and can contain viruses
There are some websites which I saved as total.
.html page + folder containing all the data
then I started to save the pages as single file without a folder containing all the data.
If this might be a security criteria, I will re-save all those pages and update the archive.
As a side note, a lot of anons over the last years already saved this archive and no one ever told me about some virus.
just checked, they are mostly from old saved IST threads
I will have to replace them with an archived version
maybe I will do this if I care enough
My dad was highschool football quarterback, played rugby in college, and later became a very successful heart surgeon. Obviously, he passes the chud test and could be on an SS recruitment poster. By all metrics, an "ubermensch".
He is not some crazy aryan nazi fanatic, he is a regular guy. He does normal things and has normal hobbies. He does not spend his time larping on a Laotian seal taming forum. He is not a white nationalist. He does not fetishize nazi aesthetics, or subscribe to extremist political beliefs.
Point is, this shit is fricking cringe. Nobody who actually is an """"ubermensch"""" says shit like this. It's always morons who want to larp. Drop the poltard act and set realistic goals. Maybe then you'll actually do something instead of making endless threads about how you definitely will change starting now.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a white supremacist
You cannot be an ubermensch while working a wageslave job.
Just do stuff thats kinda hard. Its frustrating but the only thing that makes people respect you. Especially when you dont believe you can do it, thats where growth is. Also dont be such a fricking incel all the time. And take your training seriously but dont overthink it. Its not that complicated ffs.
>t. married father with a maths phd
My goal is to be a strong but loving father, who provides for my family, and teaches my kids and lead by example how to be successful adults while also maintaining their dignity and identity in this corrupt world.
find god. its literally that easy.
Why are you lifting if your goal is to paint? What are you painting? If you're painting athletes, then pick up their sports so you intimately know how they move. If you're painting boats, then pick up sailing so you know what the details mean. If you're painting cars, then go apprentice as a mechanic so you know what makes them beautiful inside and out. If you're an artist, then just THROW yourself into the passion! Don't just passively watch it.
Dont talk about your goals, not to anyone. Only talk about your achievements. I fell for the pride in things i havent done meme and it only makes life worse.
Remember:
>there is nothing outside of yourself that can ever make you richer, smarter, stronger.
So what's the plan for today, ISTizens?
The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world.
maybe write it as it was intended to be written: ÜBERMENSCH DU LEBENSUNWÜRDIGE MISSGEBURT
>painting
Useless shit, OP is a homosexual. Anything other than steM is shit.
What’s the routine of the guy in the pic?
Wasn't it exposed that this guy's face was like a 4/10?
>I've decided to sculpt myself into a god
>The plan is to maximize the effort in all the fields that matter.
>it's painting for me
Did this guy ever say what his routine was? It might just be the pics but it’s one of the most aesthetic physiques I’ve ever seen
yes he did, however, I don't know if it was him or some other anon pretending
Yeah, dude looks like a literal Roman statue. Would love to know his routine.
