@chris_af_VP Nazilarpandet har inget med saken att göra. Dries Van Langenhove och Marine Le Pen åker också i finkan även om de inte är nazister, vilket är poängen

@zappman321 Varför skulle han inte håna dem när han, enligt egen utsago, talade om för dem att nazilarpande inte skulle sluta väl? Verkar som han fick rätt. Och nu kan de alltså inte organisera sig.

Kan vi få igång en skön debatt om optikhanrejer vs skiter i optiken nu går jag in -gängen? Är det ända in i kaklet som gäller eller har Nick en poäng om att det är klantigt och kortsiktigt?

@chris_af_VP Har, för många år sen. Han podcastar, vilket är varför många inklusive mig stör sig på när han gottar sig åt att folk som organiserar sig idag åker på repressalier

@zappman321 Och Nick har alltså "utövat" politik (vilket iofs är en distinktion som inte fungerar eftersom politik handlar makt inte metod). Rävar och lejon min vän.

@chris_af_VP Exakt - när du organiserar dig politiskt (inte bara podcastar) så bjuder du in repressalier från systemet, oaktat optik. Se t.ex Dries Van Langenhove och Marine Le Pen som exempel

@zappman321 Nick var i Charlottesville (tillsammans med mig), han var vid Capitolium Jan6, massor med utåtriktade verksamheter (vilket troligen minskat pga mordförsök, attentat mot Trump, Kirk etc. Klart killen varit ute och härjat.

@SeverusChud @Giga80085 People also forget the context. This was during peak woke and peak censorship: late 2020 early 2021. It was a different era back then. Maybe a genocide ending would be allowed today. Back then, no way

@Giga80085 Pretty much this. He either chickened out or was forced to rewrite, because there’s no way the person who wrote up to the basement wrote that abysmal dogshit ending.

Eren’s core conflict was simple and brutal: destroy a hostile world to save his people, or allow his people to be destroyed. That tension carried the story for years, and we were led to believe he finally found the resolve to make a brutal choice. Instead, it’s revealed he doesn’t even know what he’s doing. His actions amount to nothing, explained away by prisoner of fate time travel nonsense. Then Isayama goes out of his way to portray Eren as pathetic, retroactively mocking both his protagonist and the reader for ever taking the story seriously. The story had everything to succeed, but the ending retroactively ruins the entire story.

@Martin322146415 @chris_af_VP @Dalmasen12345 Joel är öppen med att som ung blev han inspirerad av anti-kapitalisiska argument (som Mussolini t.ex), och under en kort period försökte han organisera sig online i anarkistiska organisationer, men insåg snabbt att det inte var där han hörde hemma. Han var alltså typ 20 då.

@chris_af_VP @Dalmasen12345 Som jag skrev är det saker andra har sagt. Det andra gäller hur jag själv uppskattar att människor uttrycker sig och vad de anser viktigt att prioritera.

Is it ...insane? He basically labeled himself an enemy of the state. How would he expect to be treated? If anything he'd probably be content with being taken this serious.

@DeanTTraining Dont forget the cute anime girls!

@oskoreimotpol Kringe att inte nämna judisk makt en enda gång i hela texten. Det är 2026, man får säga jude nu. Annars bra

Den årliga nyårstexten. Gott nytt år! motpol.nu/oskorei/2025/1…

@Littoria14 >spoke to a nsn member on a podcast once 4 years ago >deep ties

NSN is similar to now defunct gladio Nazi orgs connected to Kapustin like National Action, Atomwaffen, etc in its structure and ideology. The deep ties to this Jewish CIA agent are hardly surprising.

@JYKines @AJA_Cortes Did you just write all of that?

You actually need to introduce fatigue and stress in order to increase strength and energy capacity: Fitness–fatigue theory and Selye’s General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) are two well-established conceptual models that align closely with one another. Together, they explain both (1) how an organism adapts to training stress over time and (2) why performance fluctuates in the short term even when long-term adaptation is occurring. How the two theories correspond: Fitness–fatigue theory proposes that each training bout produces two concurrent aftereffects: Fitness: longer-lasting positive adaptations that increase capacity (for resistance training, commonly discussed as improvements in neuromuscular function, strength-related skill, hypertrophy, and tissue tolerance). Fatigue: shorter-term (and sometimes medium-term) costs that temporarily suppress performance (metabolic stress, muscle damage, soreness, central fatigue, sleep disruption, and general life stress interacting with training load). At any point in time, the performance you can express is the net result of these competing influences, often summarized conceptually as performance = fitness − fatigue. Seyle's General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) frames training as a stressor that drives adaptation through stages: Alarm: the immediate disruption to homeostasis (acute fatigue and reduced readiness are expected). Resistance: recovery and remodeling, with improved capacity relative to baseline if the stress dose is tolerable. Exhaustion: maladaptation when stress is excessive or too frequent relative to recovery resources. Conceptually, GAS explains the biological logic of adaptation to stress, while fitness–fatigue theory explains the time course and expression of that adaptation in day-to-day performance. The “alarm” phase maps well onto the immediate fatigue response, while the “resistance” phase maps onto the longer-lasting fitness effect. “Exhaustion” corresponds to a condition in which fatigue chronically outpaces recovery and the system no longer produces net positive adaptation. The role of progressive, periodized resistance training within the fatigue-fitness and GAS framework: A properly designed resistance training program uses progression and periodization to manage the fitness–fatigue balance in a way that repeatedly leverages the GAS response without drifting into exhaustion. Progressive overload ensures the training stimulus remains sufficient to produce an alarm response and continue driving the resistance (adaptation) phase. If the stimulus is too small or static, adaptation attenuates because the stress signal becomes familiar and no longer challenges the system. Periodization (planned variation in volume, intensity, exercise selection, and density) is largely a fatigue-management strategy that preserves the adaptive signal while preventing fatigue from accumulating indefinitely. In practical terms, it distributes stress over time, sequences training emphases, and incorporates lighter periods or deloads so that accumulated fatigue can dissipate. This is why athletes and patients can be “getting fitter” while temporarily performing worse during high-load phases, because fatigue is high. When the program reduces load strategically, fatigue drops faster than fitness decays, and performance rebounds, often perceived as a jump in strength or readiness. How this produces strength, resilience, and increased energy over time: When progression and periodization are executed well, the long-term fitness effect becomes dominant over repeated cycles: Strength improves because repeated exposure to appropriately dosed stress produces lasting neuromuscular and structural adaptations, and because planned reductions in fatigue allow those adaptations to be expressed. Resilience improves because the system develops a higher tolerance to stress, improved recovery efficiency, greater work capacity, and more robust musculoskeletal tolerance, making both training and daily physical demands less disruptive. “More energy” over time is a practical outcome of increased capacity and reduced relative strain. As baseline strength and work capacity rise, the same absolute tasks in and out of the gym require a smaller fraction of maximal effort, produce less residual fatigue, and feel more manageable, assuming sleep, nutrition, and total life stress are not chronically undermining recovery. In summary, GAS describes the organism-level requirement for stress and recovery to produce adaptation, while fitness–fatigue theory describes how that adaptation is expressed as fluctuating performance depending on the current level of fatigue. Progressive, periodized resistance training is essentially an applied system for repeatedly invoking the GAS adaptation cycle while controlling fatigue so that fitness accumulates and is periodically revealed as higher strength, greater resilience, and improved day-to-day vitality. Therefore, we can't separate fatigue and stress from strength and energy. We need appropriate doses of one to lead to the other. 😀

Unless you are a physique athlete or pro athlete, most people are NOT interested in being beat up from training all the time The goal of your daily life is not be exhausted from workouts You train for strength and energy, not fatigue and stress

Was having a conversation with a guy early this morning He was like you don’t need to get up early to go train, you can work out later And I said what if I get busy or I miss the workout or something happens? He said training later is better you have more food, it’s not that big of a deal if you miss one workout He was making some good points and I was gonna listen Until I realised the one I was speaking to was my inner bitch. So I got my ass to the gym.

Gotta keep walking

@CoachFHM Slowly morphing into Superman

My quads have grew since removing barbell squats. I’d built a base with back squats over the last 14 years…but took them out over 12 months ago. Replaced with lots of pendulums, leg presses, hacks, leg extensions etc. Nailing the quads in absence of the lower back/hips taking over (especially as I’m 6’4 with long femurs/short torso) Also saves my lower back for my heavy Deadlifts/RDL’s which I keep in. The results speak for themselves really. I ain’t attached to dogma on either side of the playing field. I love both barbells and machines. But at some point you’ve got to make the smartest choices for your number one goal. My goal isn’t to have the “biggest squat” anymore. It’s to have the best quads I can on stage.

@CoffeeBlackMD Thanks, doc!

Finasteride (and dutasteride) are compounds that competitively inhibit the 5aReductase enzyme. This is the enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT. They are VERY effective at lowering DHT levels. These are the facts 👇 DHT is the necessary molecule needed for and implicated in all common forms of male pattern baldness. In rare cases of men without 5aR or castrated men they will never show any male pattern baldness. And this is why these drugs are used to prevent and treatment for MPB. Most men experiencing MPB will even regrow hair over time (years) provided they start using it at a young enough age. There are other adjuncts often used along with these drugs I won’t be getting into. Global average for MPB is 60-65% based on genetic risk factors and most Caucasian men (96%) will have some balding or thinning by age 80. These drugs will increase serum estrogen 15-40% in men. Often noted as clinically insignificant. They carry a 3-15% rate of sexual dysfunction. And a 1-4% rate of mood disturbances. In most men these can be addressed by stopping the medication with a return to normal. A “post finasteride syndrome” is not an entity currently recognized but estimates by reported cases of men experiencing sexual side effects long after stopping is 1 to maybe 2%. I’ve talked to two of these guys in my DMs who report to have tried everything to deal with what they are convinced is post finasteride syndrome and it sounds awful. Like hell. These are my thoughts 👇 The bottom line on finasteride and dutasteride from my perspective is that it’s a risks to benefits discussion between any man and his *treating physician*. Is it vanity drug? Sure. But I’m not judging we all have our vanities. Do I like the elevated estrogen levels? They probably aren’t high enough to really be an issue. Do I like the crushing of the DHT? No. I don’t particularly care for that part and I strongly suspect one trades in some (a lot of?) masculinity for thicker hair. The risks to mood and sexual dysfunction are real but almost always reversible. Interestingly enough if the side effect rates were blood clots or strokes (and they are not) these medications never would have made it out of phase 3. Blood clots and strokes are also more serious but it’s some important context here. Would I use them? No. Not personally. Maybe easy to say because my hair in my late 40s is still pretty decent, even if minimally recessed from 20s year old me. If it was take these drugs or shave my head and lean in, I’d lean in. But that’s ME and every guy has a clear right to do what they think is best for them. Way riskier things any of us could choose to do. The tl;dr on DHT use and finasteride use are that they are both “nos” from me (dawg). If you want to see the reasons why you’ll need to read the whole thing. And if you made it this far thank you for your time and interest in my opinion. I never know how to end these. I’m so awkward. And I apologize.

Some musings on a few things DHT, finasteride, and balding. And I come in peace here. But it’s Twitter so you can post what you want, but if you want to “debate me bro,” you can die mad in the replies. Yeah? Anyone who has followed me long enough will know I’ve had a lot of skepticism about the utility of supplemental DHT. That hasn’t changed. Claims related to its superior anabolic characteristics have never been supported to any level or degree where I can recognize it that way. Known metabolic pathways in the muscle make the claims highly suspect. Even before and after type of pictures of guys using it (which obviously leave a huge amount of room for confounding, given the variables even the most basic gymbro could rattle off their head in a minute) are basically in zero supply. There are personal anecdotes I do not find compelling. And take as much salt as you like on this bit, but talk to the old guys body building in the ‘70s when all the “stuff” was really widely available and they will tell you that if it had been such a magical compound there is no way they’d have missed it. We may have more nuanced protocols in 2025 than they did in the ‘70s but the compounds we use today are really usually not that fundamentally different. Of course there are a few newer compounds since then. But, for instance, the often suggested guy’s first cycle of 300mg of test per week is still a fantastic one. It’s as old as these guys. And really undefeated as advice for the first go. None of this is to say I think in any way that DHT is not important to the human male. It most definitely is. Very important for our natural masculinity through its more unique activities at the androgen receptor and its neurocognitive effects after 3aHSD change. These are good things in an of themselves but are they worth chasing with exogenous DHT? I’d humbly submit … no. Why? Estrogen. We still do not have a cognitive framework for starting dosing and adjustments based on objective data. It’s clearly playing with fire. There are known mechanisms of estrogen reduction with natural DHT. Interference at the aromatase enzyme, down regulating expression of the estrogen receptor, and up regulating enzymes that break down estrogen. Furthermore some of these effects can remain even after stopping (for months to years) due to epigenetic changes in key promoter regions associated with both production of estrogen and break down of estrogen. I’ve personally had three men in my DMs over the last 6 months or so who can’t get their estradiol above 15 and one guy reading less than 5. They do not feel good. And adding testosterone is intervening at the wrong location and won’t help. When normally it would. The mechanism that turns testosterone (which is upstream of estrogen) into estrogen are not working normally/natutally and whatever estrogen is made is broken faster. The only solution is literally exogenous estrogen. Does it have a place in an anabolic stack? I’m really very hesitant here as well. As anyone with any nuance on a cycle build can tell you, the art is in the estrogen (and downstream and/or indirect prolactin) management. Adding anabolic mgs is easy and any meathead can do that. As I do not think DHT adds any real anabolic mgs, then is it good for estrogen management? Again, I’d humbly say, “no.” It’s involved in too many unique mechanisms that other “estrogen addressing” anabolics are not (or maybe more precisely are not as far as we know) and maybe there are cases I’m not aware of (as I can’t be aware of everything) of using compounds like metenolone where estrogen did not come back up after use or could not be addressed with testosterone. I’m a hard pass and wouldn’t recommend it.

@Helios_Movement Doesnt positive life outcomes drop sharply after roughly genius level IQ?

I’m asking you once again to stop mistaking neuroticism with having a high IQ. A high IQ will vastly increase your chances of making money and it’s very well documented. Now if you want to make money for 5 years by being a Dubai no shipper that’s a different story. You need to be retarded for that.

@Littoria14 You just assert things that aren’t true. Homosexuality wasn’t accepted in the West until about 15 years ago, and even then, they were scraps thrown to a vocal minority. Calling it a “central idea” since the 1950s is a conspiracist stretch and completely out of touch with reality.
