I got to 78kg and I was way too skinny for my liking, now i'm 88kg with a more muscle and i'm pretty happy at that weight and look alot better than at 78kg.
I seen that in photos I compared last night that I sent to a friend who was asking me for some gym advice.
Well, I'm 75-76 kg now no when I stoop I have whole hand of belly fat I would like to lose. I guess it comes down to low muscle mass. Also I'm only 5'8'' so I'm not tall at all.
Ultrasonic does seem to work better on me, I will switch to it exclusively for the Christmas time to see what happens.
One thing that uplifted me recently is post I read on Red Pills forum. In general I feel quite down because I seem so childish and immature to myself but the guy there wrote how it is only in man's 30's when he reaches his highest potential and so "wasting" (I don't know which word to use, wasting seems too negative but given how much I'm missing on it might be the best one) your youth and early 20's is not that big of a deal. It is in the period I am now when a boy becomes the man and that is what matters. My past mistakes are holding me back way too much and bring me too much guilt and feeling of undeserving .
That sounds preposterous. Here is an equivalent logic stated another way to make my point.
I am a gardener, and I know that my rose bushes should bloom for the first time between days 300 and 600 of their lives. I can care for them or not. If I care for them, they will bloom between days 300 to 600. If not, they will bloom between days 500-600. Does it matter if I care for them?
If I want the biggest roses, I need to care for them. If I want the showiest roses, I need to care for them. If I want the most fragrant roses, I need to care for them. If I want the roses that will sell for the highest profit... I need to care for them.
But I hear that it doesn't matter if I "waste" the "youth" of the rose bush because its "full potential" doesn't come until days 450 to 550.
So does this mean it suddenly makes sense to do stupid things instead of take care of that rose bush before it's full potential is reached?
Consider that much of a man's full potential is available to him much sooner than his 30's. It is available to him from around 17-18 onwards, if he is willing to get up and do what it takes. The problem with society these days is that we keep trying to claim that people aren't capable until Age X, and we're always trying to raise that age to "protect" them, but what happens is that people will not rise to their potential because nothing is expected of them. So whereas we had 14 to 16 year olds having kids and starting homesteads and farms 100-200 years ago in the United States, we now have those same ages acting and being basically helpless because now we expect nothing of them. The only difference here is what was expected of them. Back then, it was not an option to have the luxury of "I'm a kid. I'm can't do that." attitudes.
What this shows is that potential may not have reached it's peak, but capacity is still there to do a lot more than sit around and play games, and because society expects nothing of them, they don't try in most cases to achieve even a fraction of what potential they have, which costs them dearly later in life.
In fact it's gotten so bad in the United States that for decades now, we can send an 18 year old man to war, and we can train him to be a sniper or demolitions expert or a warrior of some other kind, capable of taking life with extreme skill. He can vote for who should govern him and he can get killed doing his job on the battlefield... but... sorry, he's too young to drink alcohol.
Um... guns and taking a life > drinking alcohol.
And if you think about it, even when a kid turns 18 and becomes a legal adult in this country, we still don't think of them as "really" being an adult. We still try to act like they're kids. But the truth is, when you take away that "just a baby" crap and start expecting adult things of them... they start maturing real quick.
Throwing away one's youth because your full potential capacity isn't reached until your 30s is an excuse and justification to be stupid and party more, IMHO.
