Blessed thread, love Kenshiro kings like you wouldn't believe
My new years resolutions:
>draw every day
>get better at my job (im a code monkey, fresh out of school)
>read every day
>pick up meditation and stick with it
>start skipping (jump rope)
>get lean and pack on some more muscle
>stick to my workout routine
>less social media (IST included), less time in front of computer
>be more social and outgoing, up my social skills
>finally get my driver's license
>get my diet in order
>get gf
I KNOW this is the year. I finally managed to escape my depression after 8 fricking years where I had no education, no job and no purpose in life
I'm taking the /calisthenics + jump rope/ pill. I've spent christmas planning for the next year, everything from diet to routine, and what I should read and spend less time on
I am driven. No MORE will I just sit idly and let time pass me by. Living in the now, one day at a time, never losing focus on the goals I want to achieve
My will is so potent its even manifesting on to those around me

Unfathomably based post
Fuuark we're all going to make it
>loicense
I got mine at 25 3 years ago and proceeded to get a DUI 3 months later. After struggling with that for 2 years, getting fat then IST again, buying my ex-gf's brother's car that needed work, waiting almost 6 months to fix an oil pan gasket because the cousin who helped me travels so much, now I am back on the road with a better knowledge of cars than most, a good physique, no desire to ever drink and drive again, and a new leather jacket. Things are looking up.
hell yeah b***h
You better do it b***h, I believe in you
Rooting for my boy right here, good luck man
Incredibly based
Let nothing stop you this year anons
good luck
We have basically the same goals anon.
>make body stronger through fitness
>make mind stronger through reading
>make spirit stronger through drawing
Many blessings to you anon, this will be a good year
I planned a lot at previous year, right now at current year I will passed exams, get a job, get fit, get rich and maybe get a gf. I hope everyone healthy and doing alright this year too. and here is my white pill
>you don't need any of supplements, even it's working it's not worth it, save your money instead
>want to get bigger? eat enough meat. the larger animal, the better

Based guts anon. Happy New Year.

oh no no no...does he know?
OP is (probably) gutsanon, but he uses a pic of Kenshiro for these threads
We're all going to make it bros
May the gains be with you now and forever
Happy 23 scoops of gainz
I'm scared I'll never make it
What's stopping you anon?
Bad track record - poor discipline, defeatism, etc
Have started off doing things in the past but given up after a short period.
I am determined to change this this year but the fear of failure's real and quite demoralizing.
Just start with things that are small, easy to do-- impossible to fear. Like ten push-ups, if you're REALLY just starting.
Then work up, etc.. Discipline is a muscle.
And, if you fail a day, hell, a week, it doesn't mean the death of your ideals. Your defeatism is a characteristic of you, but not one you can't overcome, surely.
Thank you for these threads, anon. It really helped me start lifting but I think in 2023 I'll try to do a nochan experience.
I remember going 4 years without it and my mental health was way better. Keep doing ur thing, king.
I'm beyond glad to hear that friend, good luck if you wish to quit the chan
I went on a very slow cut for around 5 months, until my abs were properly visible. Then just as slowly bulked on clean foods, milk, cheese, eggs and (unironically) brioche bread.
How slow of a cut and bulk? Like 10% deficit?
No idea lad, I've never counted calories in my life. Just eyeball it and cut unnecessary calories out, less bread, less olive oil, less butter, chicken breast instead of beef, that kind of thing.
How much weight did you lose in that 5 month time?
Went from 73kg to 65kg, so around 7kg. You can't rely too much on the scale because I lost fat on the one hand but gained muscle on the other, it's more of a matter of body composition than anything.
I see. While I'd like to go a more intuitive route, I have problems with binge eating especially around my workouts. I just want to make sure I'm making proper progress aside from making the lifts go up. For reference, 17% bf and beginner-level lifts for my current body weight.
Yeah, two of the problems with being skinnyfat is that
>you have to learn to control your portions
>everything you eat must serve a purpose
When you're skinnyfat you're probably used to snacking on very calorie dense foods that are also not the best for muscle building. Now that I escaped skinnyfat mode I can snack on random shit and fast food no problem, but at first you have to be rather strict with your portions and diet
Meanwhile if you actually counted calories you could've lost 3 times that in 5 months (if you wanted to).
I think the method suggested is to allow more sustainable muscle growth. Cutting as a skinnyfat can be discouraging because of the pathetic lifts and potentially slower progression. At least that was part of my justifications when the binging urges came up.
I don't doubt it, but I wouldn't change a thing either. That rate of progression was enough for me to adapt without being overwhelming. I had enough time to figure out what works for my genes (when it comes to diet) and needs without losing myself to analysis paralysis. Which is what I say to most beginners and skinnyfats, just do it and don't waste your time with optimisation.

White pills thread
LETS GOOOKK
Happy new year IST
Just remember, we all can make it.
We're ALL going to make it.
I used to be intimidated by the mass surveillance of todays world, and how any random action can garner the attention of hundreds of millions of strangers online, but then I realized I can weaponize surveillance for my own security, even against titans like major corps and government, so I am feeling a little bit more optimistic about the future.
Ha ha! I knew you'd be posting the white pill thread today my liege!
Schizo yoga anon here, I was THIS fricking close to achieving crow pose today. I'm gonna nail it by the end of the month. I'm gonna start doing commissions this year. I'm gonna get her back. I'm gonna make it.
WE'RE ALL GONNA MAKE IT
>you can escape skinnyfat mode in less than six months
By cutting to be skinny, sure. But when you go back on a bulk you become skinnyfat again. I'm about to get done with a year of fixing my physique and I've gone very skinnyFAT -> skinny -> less skinnyfat
Not sure how long it will take to stop being completely skelly when lean, probably 2-5 more years.
has anyone made it?
A certain early 2000's miscposter did. I mean, you WERE born in at least 1986, right?
>you WERE born in at least 1986, right?
Give or take 17 or so years.

I will add
>1/2/3/4 makes you stronger
Sorry if a dumb question but what are these numbers?
1 plate overhead press
2 plate bennch
3 plate squat
4 plate deadlift
is this 1rm?
a good rule of thumb is at least 3 clean reps
>1/2/3/4 makes you stronger than mostly anyone you'll come across in your daily life
Realistically how long does this take to achieve?
Depends on your starting point, routine and genes, in that order.
I tried lowering the weight lifted and instead focused more on form and time under tension, especially for the eccentric part of the lift and I've noticed a difference in how I feel the target muscle being hit. Feeling pretty optimistic about 2023, I'm going to focus a bit more on athleticism and health instead of lifting heavy, so initially I'll try to do three weightlifting sessions a week and cardio at least once a week, on top of eating better - less white bread overall and more vegetables for lunch/dinner.
Depends on where you start and how big you are, using 1/2/3/4 as a general strength metric is pretty bad IMO because you could be 5'8 weighing 160lbs and you're supposed to pull the same numbers as someone who's 6', 220lbs and bulking. Doing 0.75/1/1.25/1.5 bodyweight compounds for reps means you're in very good shape compared to the general population.
Best way to start this year on IST
Thanks king, here's a humble bumperino

happy new year gutsanon 🙂
Hitler was right to genocide you people, and we shall do it again
Bodybuilding fetishism is as subversive as one gets.
Hitler literally believed genetics came before anything else. You think Hitler would accept an ugly moron as his ideal Aryan warrior because he picked up heavy weights and put them down again several times a day instead of raising children? Kek
Post body+timestamp
You won't or you'll do some epic deflection ironicgay bullshit
Don't even bother replying to blackpillers who show up with moronic pastas
Can’t be asses for time stamp so have this. Been lifting for only 8 months so nothing impressive. How about you man?
>can't be assed for the thing that actually proves its my body
Last (you)
For every /fitizen/ I demoralise, I steal their gains. What you saw above was merely from three generals of demoralisation. I will continue, until I possess the physique to mog all of IST
Lol my father got a better psysique even though he is 120 kg fat
Depression is fixable without doctors/pills/money. Research cognitive behavior therapy. It works, it dragged me out of 10 year old depression. Takes a couple months of daily work to really kick in though.
congrats my brother, better days are ahead of you
Happy for u dude
Nice, that's good to hear bro
Based jannies
I just started lifting like 2 months ago, but I’m steadily increasing how much I can lift.
I just really need to stop eating out and probably get some protein powder so I can make sure I get a good amount in me.

>5'10
>Considered short also in his time
>Became heavy weight champion anyway
Yeah the blackpill is a lie but go cope and tell me how he was a genentic freak n shit.
You will die alone with no friends btw
don't hate me cause I'm swole, homie. Maybe if you got rid of that old yee yee ass routine and diet you got you'd get some b***hes on your dick. Oh, better yet, maybe ur gym crush will call your dog ass if she ever stop fricking with that “steroid user” or "alpha male" she fricking with. homieaaaaaa
Women dislike the steroid looking guy lol.
he isn't actually on steroids. the demoralizer is just such a coping little homosexual that even someone with more muscle mass than him is suddenly on roids
The jannies finally did somemthing good

>probably gonna text her next week somewhere
felt bretty good, first time i had someone wingman for me.
I got a personal trainer because I have been trying on my own since 2013 and just kept fricking it all up.
Its like this never ending weight of shame even though im making progress finally.
I try to just not think and do the work but it keeps coming back stronger and driving me to quit. How do I stop this?
>Whitepill vermin will die. DEMORALISATION COMMENCE
Aaaand stopped reading lol what a fricking loser haha you wasted like 10 minutes writing this shit lol
I fricked up a lot since the pandemic, got kicked out of my cs major too but I think that is for the best anyway since I enjoy math more and I can see myself in that type of career more, call it a cope idgaf. As for new years resolutions:
>finish this fricking degree already
>keep lifting
>get a gf
>get a good paying part time math teaching gig
Idk how achievable all this is but I legit have nothing to lose at this point and nothing better to do anyway.
>got kicked out of my cs major too but I think that is for the best anyway since I enjoy math more and I can see myself in that type of career more, call it a cope idgaf
Nah, if you tried it and it didn't click then you found out something useful, its not coping if you actually go and try different things.
>Idk how achievable all this is
Very achievable, if you like math then you will make a career or similar out of it and the rest will follow one way or another. Doing what you enjoy is always a good cornerstone to the rest of the things you want in life.
>and most of all thinking, sir, so people can find out what they are good at, because someone doing what they really like is always an asset to any country, and too often people never find out until it is too late
>Learning is about finding out who you are, what you are, where you are and what you are standing on and what you are good at and what's over the horizon and, well, everything. Its about finding the place where you fit. I found the place where I fit, and I would like everybody else to find theirs

Always loved his books and they had excellent insights into humanity as a whole, the good and the bad.
Thanks man appreciate the wholesome post.
I think this year is gonna be my year, in terms of self improvement.
This last year I was a total shit in everything because a break up. Job, school, social skills and even in the gym I was doing the less effort possible, I didnt wanted to do and talk to anybody. Im finally recovering from this after more than 1 year of hurting myself over a girl, Im going to choose my own path bros. I already renewed my Gym membership, also Im gonna stick to a diet and try to make a lot of progress at the career. Im gonna make it bros
2023 is going to be great.
I will go to war with myself and make it.
>continue lifting, I will be IST
>continue meditating, I will be enlightened
>I will find a gf
>I will improve my social skills
>I will progress in my job
We will make it boys, I will defeat my weak self and rise as a new man.

What is the proper method? Leanbulk and cut, recomp, or lean bulk straight through?
>consistency is key, even if you drag yourself you'll appreciate every single experience in retrospect
Best life advice. simple as
How do I stop being an Incel? I’m 20, everyone knows me as the quiet guy, I go out at least once a week with friends and lately more but I can’t change myself to be more extroverted or anything. I don’t think I’m very ugly either, maybe 5/10 facially but short and a bit fat.
What's your situation like?
Well I’m working, I was in college but my new jobs better. I’ve joined local clubs and stuff but still struggle to even meet new people honestly. Dating apps have done nothing for me. I’m honestly not even ugly, around average but short (5’7). I am trying to be more present at social events but I’m just quiet and don’t have much to say really
Honestly a little drinking can go a long way. I used to be kind of like you. I also used to think I was like a 4 to 6/10 on a good day, and I'm also short (but at least not fat) at 5'4". Just so you know where I'm coming from. These days I find it pretty easy to talk to people and make friends and people have even called me charismatic, although frankly, I don't believe them deep down. But at least I believe them at a surface level.
I know it can be hard to talk, sometimes you just have nothing to say, but alcohol as a social lubricant helps. Although I guess you might not be of drinking age, anyway.
Why don't you have much to say? And where do you work? A job that forces you to talk might help. Being a waiter is one that I'm familiar with. I assume some sales job would be similar.
I do drink but rarely, I’m from uk so it’s legal. I work in a retail position right now so I am dealing with customers and still not much has changed. I’ve noticed I’m not really anxious anymore, I just don’t have anything to say. I can ask people basic questions when meeting them but anything beyond that is alien to me, I just don’t know what to say to people.
I used to do retail at age 19. Sure you talk to people but it was nothing compared to being a waiter. That was when I was 20, I think. And when I got that job I also decided to stop saying no to people so I ended up doing stuff with a lot of my coworkers.
Is it just that you don't know WHAT to say or do you actually have nothing to say? Because the first can be fixed with just a lot of practice and your brain will figure it out.
wat do i do if i want to start drinking protien powder but i'm lactose intolerant and mixing the powder with water makes me nauseous?
