@Nahm i was also a bit shocked to be honest. I can't help it but form mental images of people that i never saw. Just words are not enough to communicate it seems. Looking really good. Congrats on your channel and thank you for sharing your wisdom.

A miserable life

@Michael569 i am always happy to testify. In fact i just finished my workout for today. I don't know your fitness level but whatever it is definitely start at - 2. I'm really happy with my gains so far.

My recovery is very slow but mostly this is true for the legs. I trained on monday and they are still hurting. The other muscles recover much quicker but the legs seem to need much more. Will it get faster with time? Is there a good way to speed up the recovery? More protein and more sleep is what i heard helps. Is there something else that could help?

Because there is a natural tendency to grow, love and blossom. This is the way we are born and then we just get lost in the lies causing all the suffering. That's just my view on this.

No poker is a huge waste of time. Even if you make some money to make enough you need to dedicate yourself for years. You are better off learning programming or a useful skill. Don't fall into this trap. @hyruga i hate to break it to you but if you spent at least the amount of hours i did you wasted your time. If i spended so much time learning something useful like the skills i need for my lp i would be living it by now or even be a millioner by inventing something. Stop giving harmful advise to people. Poker is a black hole that sucks you in. Even if you are successful it's a miserable way to earn a living. Grinding is not fun after a point. I do love poker and play maybe once every 3 months just for fun but i'm not taking it seriously ever again. If it works for you then fine but you could do something better with your time. If someone said this to me some years ago i would close my ears. I got into it in the first place because i wanted fast money and not being anyone's slave. There are better ways and thanks to Leo and my experience i can see that now.

I finally realized for good that emotions are the the only thing that keeps me from creating a good life. I have read in the past the science of getting rich many times and also applied it (in the past). What i realized is that gratitude, giving thanks as often as possible is the solution to feel good and connected and to have emotional mastery. Firstly i wanted to share this because it works surprisingly well. The only times i have difficulty feeling good by being grateful is when i feel sorry and sad about someone else. In my case these people are my parents. They are suffering both big time. I can only help them to a point but it really affects me. I can feel amazing and then just look at them or speak to them and at the very least i feel sad. They wasted their lifes and now they have to deal with their mistakes. There is no option to just go away. How do i deal with this? I can feel great and then suddenly i feel depressed just by looking at them or interacting with them. Is there a way to not get affected at all?

@Iksander how much did you make and what games/site? Even if i was just bad at it it doesn't change the fact that it's a waste of time and that is something that needs serious dedication to get good at. I also made money from it mostly from tournaments just not enough. I had enough after a bad beat in a big tourney while i was in the money after 7 hours of playing.

@Iksander no it's not. It was before i got into it. Even if it is it's a huge waste of time. I wish i spent that time learning programming. To get good at poker you need years. There is no fish around only sharks and you waste your precious time. I learned this the hard way

I can only warn you that online poker is not easy money at all and a huge waste of time in case you are going to consider it. I really regret the time i wasted in this some years ago. I decided to invest just a small amount each month in crypto. I don't take it seriously i just don't want to miss out again. Find a job for a start. Watch Leo's latest blog video called gorilla business advice.

Thank you all. It's pretty clear to me now that i should focus on spirituality otherwise i will keep running in circles. It's obvious that to keep fooling myself doesn't work. Seriously i have no idea how my life would be right now if i never entered this forum.

The 5 stars books from the list are all amazing. I have a long way to go to read all of them but i could give you 2 suggestions to start of because i found both life changing. From emotional mastery the first one and from success and productivity the 6th.

That was a great read. Thank you for sharing it. I do need to give it some thought as how to translate this into action.

So that's the only benefit?

I eat everything but mostly plant based stuff. Will creatine really help with the recovery? Is it always a good idea to supplement with it? Or is it not really necessary and helps only with the performance?

It's not about hearing something new. It's that it is transforming just by giving it a read. Of course there are many books that i still haven't read but i can't imagine a book being more powerful than this. Of course there are but this one is too life transforming to overlook. Many advanced folks would benefit from reading it if they haven't.

I was watching the blog video learning from partially false perspectives. Leo why did you skip reading the new earth from eckhart tolle? Just because he is so popular? This book is very powerful. It is an absolutely must read book. Just because something is very popular doesn't mean that it's not one of the best. To skip a book because of its popularity is like judging a book from its cover. The analogy of the popular youtube videos is just not true in this particular case. I really believe that it deserves a place in the booklist in spite of its popularity. I don't want to be annoying here. Just give it a read sometime it's a great book.

@integral not that interests anybody but i fap rarely. In fact i wonder if it would be better if i did it more often. Maybe not doing it decreases my testosterone and not the other way around. Maybe it's not testosterone but yeah this would be interesting to test somehow to see how my testosterone is. I believe it's normal though.

@The0Self yeah it was so painful that i couldn't do it. I will just do something else when this happens like jogging

@The0Self i'm already lean more or less. I never was overweight in my life. The struggle is to gain weight. I'm making progress in that but it's slow, i should eat even more. I wish i had a pull up bar, i will find a way to get one while not damaging the door frames but for the moment i'm very happy with the gains i'm making with the program. The only problem is that my recovery is very slow and sometimes i need to wait 5-6 days until my legs are ok again. Thanks for the training suggestions guys. I will try them out after i finish this program.

Yeah i think i read only the first chapter or so. I'm definitely not willing to drink so much milk. I eat everything again but i'm not drinking any milk. I don't want to just get strong at any cost but to do it in a healthy way. Otherwise i would buy supplements with 1000 calories/scoop.

@Lyubov thank you for the detailed answer really helpful. I wouldn't call myself weak i was fit in the past but never really got into weight training seriously mostly bodyweight and cardio. Then i didn't train consistently for years and lived unhealthy that's why i'm unfit. I'm already changing that. Xero is tough for everybody! Don't underestimate it just because it doesn't involve barbells. But sure the same gains would be easier probably with weights but i prefer to workout at home for now.

@Lyubov i mean having both, to not focus only on lifting more (when i start weight lifting again) but also to have endurance, explosiveness etc. To have the right body for parkour for example would be the ideal for me while also being able to do calisthenics. I do love however the deadlifts, squats, shoulder and bench presses. The gyms are closed and i think i will just postpone it for a year before i go to the gym because i'm very happy with what i'm doing right now. @Average Investor you are right i could do that. I already do some yoga when i'm sore + massage and also i'm going to start using a foam roller but yeah i don't run and i miss it. I also like jumping rope but i do it rarely. That's a good idea for the sore days thanks.

@The0Self thanks i will try that when i will start a gym membership again. For now i am very happy with this bodyweight program and i will finish it maybe more than once before starting lifting weights again. I do have the starting strength book but i haven't read it yet.

Wanting it to be pure and you to belong to a higher class than other people that may lack some understanding in something and are decreasing the quality is the way you choose to see it.
