You're an athlete at that point

Wait... @Ryowama hooked me up last time.

what?

but I will caution you that weightlifting will conflict with martial arts

@Sigma I wouldn't call myself an athlete but I do row/bike 10km 2 days a week, lift 3 days, spar once every quarter, shoot pistol/rifle every quarter and do yoga on the weekends.

@Ryowama Could you share the link to TFM's stream tonight? Again 😄 Because I love you

@Sigma I was noticing that...

The reason is because you only have time and energy to do very well in one, but the other suffers a little bit. Also because you'll fall in love with Martial arts AND weightlifting and you'll have trouble deciding what to focus on primarily, which is what I struggled with

Link hasn't been made yet. 9 Hours till actual show and link is established.

@Sigma I've been debating switching from a power lifting reigment to a crossfit type regiment or simply giving up kickboxing/bjj and sticking to lifting.

Same dude

@Ryowama Ah, thank you! I will bother you then 😄

Back to fapping.

haha

@Ryowama How do you keep busy now that you know about mgtow/rp?

that's why I haven't worked out in a while, I feel like I have to choose only one and stick with it. Now do I want to only look tough, or do I want to actually be tough?

he faps

haha

See fapping response.

Gotta do what you gotta do

no lie... I have been fapping less since learning mgtow/rp... is it just me? like, it just annoys me now sometimes

I try to harness my sexual drive into work haha

"transmutation" or whatever that is

@Sigma I think if I lifted once or twice a week and sparred/practiced 1-2 days... that would be a nice middle ground

I honestly don't give a fuck, I'm not really trying to impress that many people. Monkeys fap too in order to keep themselves healthy. I'm not much more than a smart monkey, so why not?

I tried doing a 3 day lifting split with 2 days dedicated to martial arts classes

thx btw

It was still hard to do

However, if you have that base foundation I think it's enough. I am not lifting to get super big though either nor do I compete in power lifting so once I hit my goals (500lb deadlift, 400lb back squat, 300lb bench, 200lb overhead press, 25 pullups), I would just be maintaining that or switching to a crossfit/mma regiment.

Sexual transmutation, it's really nothing more than channeling energy towards something productive

Yeah, true.

When I did kempo in college, I used to do an Athlean-X program 5 days per week on top on karate

I mean... to be ripped/powerful for fighting, do I need to be able to hit those goals I listed? not really haha

That was the peak of my physical conditioning

That's awesome.

I don't think I can ever get back to that

I was a fucking beast, but I lost it and been on and off in the gym for a couple of years

I don't know where all the energy to be able to do all of that came from, I think it's mostly because I had a workout partner who taught me everything I know about fitness

then he got a home gym and we don't work out together anymore, so I have to be more self reliant and self disciplined

I would say focus on explosive movements and plyometric training

You want to be fast AND transfer a lot of force
