You dont' need to be in caloric surplus to gain muscle although it helps due to better envieronment for anabolic hormone release. All you need it is to give your muscles enough stimulus to grow (By doing exercising) and positive nitrogen balance (more protein gained than lost) - that's it. Calories are mainly used for body fat % regulation , they have almost nothing to do with building muscle. Weight !=Muscle. You can just get a bunch of fat by going into surplus and not exercising enough. I really don't recommend dirty balking. You don't need it in the first years of your Gym career. You'll grow just fine being on deficit or maintance. Stop deluding people.

When you're stuck between different paths which have their pros and cons and you don't know what the fuck to choose. You're overthinking the oportunity cost of choosing the one thing over another over and over again creating a personal hell for youself. You are also pressured to make a decision as fast as possible as not making any decision has its own opportunity cost in itself. You have to take action and not taking any action is an action in itself. Please, share some insights and wisdom on this topic

@Leo Gura Did you mean six-figure income just from offering a freelance-based service on particular skills or building products based on these skills and then distributing them? To be honest this one sentence inspired me in September and that's what I'm doing right now and I can already see the potential -
Great technique, I often use it, although I forget about it sometimes There are non, indeed. I realize it, but you still live in a relativistic world and in this world your actions have consequences What if you can't really go back and choose it again?

Genius is a relative notion. If everyone would be genius, being genius would be considered as a new standard thus there wouldn't be anything genius about them anymore

I don't find entertainment in conventional entertainment anymore. It doesn't relax me at all

It's hard for me to imagine society structure without most of the population being dogmatic\ideological

Read about monks from mountain Hiei. There is a book in Leo's booklist about them. They pretty much do marathons for enlightenment, it's kinda exactly what you're seeking

Especially in situations when you're faced with uncertainty, have limited information and get pressured from external\internal sources

This is amazing

I still did some kind of Hatha yoga in my Vipassana retreat to stretch my body, they were fine with it I highly suggest to sneak up a journal and a pen! You'll probably have some great insights\epiphanies you'll want to write down. Probably take a few pens, not only one. I broke my pen in my retreat so I had to sneak\steal a public pen everytime I wanted to write something. I felt like I'm on some kind of stealth mission each time . But it was fun -
If you mean physical touch\going for a kiss by "making a move" - of course do that instead of "asking"

Context ^ Very beautiful concept. But how do you do it properly? I find when I try this principle too much I become more rigid and have a feeling as though I act from moralistic perspective. As though I HAVE to act like this. And not even that, what is it really if not surpressing your emotions for some future gain? You have to let go of your desire to cum inside her and use a condom in that moment. But in the moment you really want to do it! You end up surpressing your desire. And I found when you do it too often the neurosis starts to build up. Because you're not expressing yourself enough. You suppress your desires for the sake of doing "the right thing". And it actually works, you usually gain huge benefit or avoiding trouble doing that. But it's very taxing on your psyche and I really feel it . I get this "stage orange" overburn feeling when I do this too often. Can someone advice on how to apply this technique properly without "burning out" emotionally from it? I am trying to become more relaxed\care-free in general, but this thing stands on my way as I also want to integrate good "orange" things in me to be able to generate more results in my life. I'm probably ignorant on some components on how emotions really work and not doing it 'correctly". Please, share your experience how you apply this or similar "moralistic" techniques and balance it out with emotional "saneness"

@aurum Good point, thank you

@Aimblack I didn't see how Leo enumerated how he was wrong about anything in his blog, can you elaborate?

Tbh there is nothing special about stage yellow pickup. You'd rather spend your time imagining what stage turquoise pickup is, and what stage turquoise relationship is. This is really golden and worth pursuing. You can get some ideas from David Deida and "spiritual" sex books (tantric sex, dao sex, jing-jeng, etc)

Notice how you attach a negative meaning to meaninglessness and how all meaning is fictional, negative meaning included -
Although i'm in a relationship with a girl right now who has good chunks of yellow in her I don't think it's that necessary to neurotically try to find such girl on purpose in your age. Any green girl would suffice and be of great value

Real pickup looks natural and is not recognized as pickup. I actually have a quote for ya - "Pickup is like plastic surgery, you only see it when it's bad" What worked for me is I started to escalate only with girls I really like so that I can authentically say "I like you" to them and really mean it with all my heart. They sense this authenticity off of you and it's really attractive as they want the guy who truly wants them, not the guy who is fake. I don't really consider myself a PUA, for me it is about seeing the girl you really like\want and taking a proactive action to get her

I usually read on my 13' inch laptop I bought specifically for reading. I love PDF's and use Foxit PDF software to read everything, it's very convenient

Funny thing, I thought you're too obssessed with being greedy with your semen (you mentioned in one topic you didn't want to cum for one girl) but now I'm starting to share your perspective
-
I think you're pretty cool. I enjoy reading your posts on no-fap and semen retention
