I would cum on potatoes face so hard

After your eat my hot salty (smoked) meat, I would expect no less.

I was texting with a friend and brought up that I still post on an old school forum. She asked what we talked about and I sent those two posts as a reply. 

Her response: "WTF?"

Soooo, she was impressed at how cool we are and was like, WTF, those guys are awesome?

Dumbells is better than nothing but stop messing around and go to a gym and learn how to do the following exercises for three sets of 10 reps. Ideally you want to do 3-4 of them 3-4 times a week.

Squat
Bench Press
Overhead Press
Deadlift
Romanian Dead Lift
Leg Press
Calf Press

To get the desired effect you need to be going up in weights faster than is reasonable with buying increasingly heavier dumbells when you feel up to it. Once you can do 3x 10 of each of them happily, make it heavier. This will have a more transformative effect on things than AI money.

My experience with gyms

This is all in your head. Nobody in a gym cares what you are doing, everyone started from zero.

The mental battle is forcing yourself to do some exercise. There is nothing easier than picking things up and putting them down again. You don't even have to work super hard or even work up a sweat most of the time.

If my brothers in christ can learn to complete Dark Souls and Bloodborne, they absolutely can learn how to do a deadlift or a bench press.

I think a pull up bar (or dip handles for rack chins) and adding in rows is worthwhile if not necessary. Some pull overs. Investing in a bench goes a long way. Cheap incline ones are under $100 on amazon.

If you don’t want to go to the gym, adjustable dumbbells are pretty cheap.

[Besticus Maximus]

Pull Up bar is a good shout, getting to one pull up is a good early goal but you will struggle to pull your bodyweight at the very start. You can make progress just by hanging on a pull up bar.

However nothing beats the barbell free weights, force yourself to do it for a month or two at the very least.

I cannot stress enough how much of a positive impact this will have on your life and happiness.

[Polident]

A cheap resistance band helps for those new to pull ups (or dips). In some ways they keep you honest with stricter form. Saw an old dude doing just that at the park last week. Also you can just go to the park and do pull up if you’re limited with equipment.

And honestly, I keep thinking about how I’d love a proper home gym. Nothing against the commercial gym. It’s just a lot more efficient having it at home. Living in apartments means compromising heavily on that but I’m still workshopping the idea. Aside from legs, a pair of 100/125lb adjustable dumbbells, a bench, and a pull up bar (+pulley and rope, Rocky 4 style) is enough for me.

[Nintex]

Plan is to hit the gym once I've maxed out the basics at home. So probably next month at this rate. I've got the discipline down to workouts every 2 days and 10k steps every day for 2 months now. 

Once I'm up for it I'll just tag along with a bud or a co-worker. The local gyms also have personal trainers on staff who can help put together training plans and such.

If you don’t want to go to the gym, adjustable dumbbells are pretty cheap.

Yep that's the tip I got and it was a great starting point.

[Polident]

iirc you're mid 30s and all I'll say for when you go to the gym proper: do not ego lift. do not compromise form. That all works when you're in your teens and twenties. And there's really no reason to. Progressive overload. Adding reps or weight over time. Focus on that and it's really quite simple. So much of it is: this muscle does this, so you do that at a level of heightened stressed, and allow nutrients to re-build it stronger. Repeat.

Yeah I'm looking for healthy and sustainable gains. I'm in no rush or desperate to get super ripped or ruin my back or whatever.

Speaking of the mental battle...
My biggest battle was allowing myself to be okay with doing a half-assed workout if I didn't feel like it. I used to not go or do anything if I couldn't give it my all,. It seems obvious that's counterproductive but it was something in my fucked up brain psychology. 

"Perfect is the enemy of good"

I wish I had learned that lesson sooner.

When performing push-ups, use The Killamajig Method for fast gains. You'll be swole in no time.

I met the world's worst beggar earlier. Guy came up to me and went into a long winded and convoluted tale of how he'd accidentally left his girlfriend's birthday present on the bus, and didn't have money to buy her another one. I said to him, just go down the bus station and check their lost and found. His face when he realized someone had found the hole in his brilliant scheme.

Visiting Europe with people who grew up in like Maine is an experience. Because you wonder who falls for that shit. Them, apparently. You’ll have some obvious trick. A lady saying you dropped a cheap bracelet and to pay a reward. They’re like “I guess I have to…” and pull out a wallet in full view.

Are you sure she lives in The Netherlands?

I'm constantly getting likes from Nigerian women and the like. Even though I have worldwide search turned off. It's super annoying.

What am I gonna do with a woman who lives 9000km away.

Like go away, stop liking me

Good deed of the day: waiting in line for the restroom. Kid comes up looking like he’s about to make sick. Let him go in front of me. Guy in the restroom takes too long. Kid vomits in front of door. Guy walks out and slips on it.

Yeah, your framing needs work. Too much centring the subject and I think some of them really suffer for not having a strong focal point. 

First shot is great, but again too centred.

You should show the girl this fanfiction you made of her.

Honestly I probably should and she would probably enjoy it and yes I am as shocked as you are.

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

She also came up with the exact same solution for a happy ending for part 2

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

So many people have tried to figure me out. People I've known for years. She deciphered the Nintex code effortlessly in 3 days. But the more I try to figure her out the more it backfires and she reels me in.

She pulled me out of the gacha machine and when I gave her the green light started it with: "I know what I want" and I was like "well lets just wait and see I'm keeping my options open"  and ever since she's like "no you're not"

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

"Quick question before we meet on friday, any allergies, diets or tastes I should consider for our dinner?"

(now she will flood me with a list of demands, red flags and veganism or I find out her favorite dish)

"Hi Nintex I just got back from the gym I've worked up quite a sweat and I'm too tired to study so instead I'm chilling with a RED glass of wine. No none that I can think of. How about we chat for a bit or are you busy"

(don't tell her the Dune story, you have work to do... and there she asks if you ended up watching Bladerunner 2049 with your friends, which is from the same director and yep you told her)

Unless our dinner is a dud she'll get what she wants as if I had any say in the matter. But I have no clue what she is really after apart from that she likes me. However it's best to figure that out when we meet so I really put myself in a Fuck around and find out situation.
