I ain't readin' all these comments Here's a photo of me and my family taken earlier this very day God bless you all, go forth and procreate

I would trade a hundred lifetimes of playing videogames for a single afternoon at the park with my son I say that as someone who does play videogames

@max4matt これが道である

@WayBudo ゲームと子育てなんて比較にならない。 子供はゲームの主人公と違って、自分の分身じゃないことはわかっている。だけど、ともに笑って泣いて苦労して挫折して、乗り越えて、数多の経験を重ねて、自分が死んだあともその物語が続いていく経験なんて子育て以外にはない。

@OlympusMadeMe88 Amen, brother Bless you and your family

@WayBudo My life is absolutely at its peak when im watching my sons play baseball ⚾️ and supporting them on the sidelines with my wife (who also coaches). Or when we are all together laughing and gaming....nothing beats family. I've gamed all my life but family always first

@WayBudo I cannot describe how incredible being a dad makes me feel.

@NoahRyanCo In the Army we'd often stock up on Haribo tangfastics, during long marches that stuff would keep you in the game.

Always saw the biggest guy at my college gym eating sour patch kids inbetween his sets and my underdeveloped brain could not comprehend why a man so jacked would eat something so taboo (this was peak low-carb era). But now I understand. Fast carbs (glucose, dextrose, sucrose) enter your bloodstream immediately. Working muscles sucks that glucose out of your blood via GLUT4 transclocation, independent of insulin. You bypass the usual metabolic bottlenecks and feed your engines mid-burn. High intensity training is heavily dependent on glycogen and glycolosis. Burn through your glycogen stores and your performance suffers. Less explosiveness, no pump, more cortisol. Keeping your muscles fueled mid-workout gives you everything you want and need. Glucose has an osmotic effect. It pulls water into muscle cells and hydrates you at an intracellular level (very anabolic btw). You get better bloodflow, bigger/fuller muscles, better contraction. You can sustain peak output for the entirety of your workout. Its not just your muscles that are being fueled either. Your brain is a glucose hog. Low blood sugar during long sessions is the leading cause of fatigue and poor motor output. Hence why glucose microdosing is beneficial for cognitive tasks as well (especially hybrid psycho/physiological tasks like martial arts, sports etc.) Better yet, exogenous glucose blunds cortisol-induced tissue breakdown. Extremely anti-catabolic. You perform better, you feel better, you recover better, and you leave your workout less fried than you otherwise would. All while giving you a perfect excuse to get your sugar fix in guilt free.

When you meet someone in the gym who gives you trouble you've gotta knock 'em down twice I've never met someone that completely believed it the first time, or ever doubted it the second

Those who are skilled at their work are scornful of anything not learnt first hand.

@aristomarinetti Errybody wants to be sigma, until it's time to do sigma shit

Isolating yourself is one of the worst things you can possibly do to yourself. It’s the best way to become hateful about everything. Everybody I know who isolated himself regrets it to the point that they would do everything to go back in time and change the past.

@AlpacaAurelius Onsen

@LifeMathMoney Average testosterone production and IQ peak at 25, until that point everyone is naturally growing, beyond that is a downward slope for everyone who applies no effort.

Being fit becomes more and more exclusive and high status as you get older. Most guys let their bodies go as they age and accept that they are fat and overweight. By 25 most guys start "getting comfortable" By 30 most guys have given up

@BowTiedYukon 37 years old, stopped barbell lifting in 2016, just martial arts and the occasional dumbbells at home.

One of the biggest flexes as a man in his 30’s and up is continuing to improve your physique while the majority of men around you get lazy, fat and weak

@BonesawMD Similar to people who grip unnecessarily tight when you shake hands, a clear sign of insecurity.

As you move up in the world you notice this rule goes backwards. Seeking eye contact to be validated is subspace coded. Very submissive position. Holding it longer than necessary reveals you’re someone painfully conscious of their lower position in the dominance hierarchy. Most dominant people you will ever meet assert it by dismissing you. Will hardly acknowledge you or grace you with eye contact at all. Won’t bother playing games with you bc they genuinely see you as nothing.

@plzcallmechrist In regards to fiction I'm currently reading the fourth book in Conn Iggulden's Gates of Rome series. Brutus is a menace that needs to be put down.

The only books that anyone on X has read is Blood Meridian, Starship Troopers, Dune and Lord of the Rings. And the latter three, people just watched the movies.

@TheArtOfWar6 That shin kick from the deck is something straight out of Street Fighter. Tragic what has happened to him.

Taking a life altering beating and still doing shit like this is so damn funny

Today, it's crazy to think that boxing used to be in the school curriculum. London, 1930s ⏳️

@hanaamurakami Having a wife and child I wouldn't want to be anywhere but Japan. I want my son to experience growing up in the UK also, but my hometown is no longer safe.

Here’s the truth: Japan is great for vacation, but not for living ✌🏻

@LeighStJohn33 The sound of spring. Uguisu and tonbi (black kite) are my two favourite local birds, both with a beautiful call.

@WayBudo Happy birthday my dear man I remember asking a gent on a remote Nagasaki mountain what that bird noise was and he replied "Uguisu" A divine piercing cry - Auspicious indeed!

Meditating at this Soto Zen temple on my birthday, complete solitude, I hear the first uguisu of spring A most auspicious sign
