I gain more and more respect for Verbatim

I’ve always respected him and I don’t agree with everything he says obviously. But mentally he was just SO many levels above people. Really complex and deep perception of life he must have to have adopted the beliefs he did. Along with his incredible discipline x self control. The type of mind that can change society srs

i appreciate that

sometimes i think it's a shame that i kinda stayed angry and never became more personable when it comes to defending my beliefs, because i've long been told that there's no other way to get through to people

and maybe that's true to an extent, but i don't think being angry is without its benefits—for one thing, it has a way of breathing life into what i'm saying, in the sense that people don't usually forget what i say to them, because if i can physically throw them off the beaten path into newer territory, i can force people to think in alternative ways

where, on the other hand, if i were nicer, i'd become a pushover/NPC/doormat, because most people probably wouldn't think twice about their own beliefs if i said shit like "uh, i'm a vegan, but don't worry, i'm not one of THOSE vegans, haha"

at the heart of it, i express myself with anger because these things are important to me, and i've always seen more value in getting my beliefs out there than maintaining some kind of good boy reputation on the internet, where i never try to challenge people, or dare to piss anyone off—so i like to think that my attitude comes from a very genuine place

i'm just happy that some people can see where that place is, even if they'd never visit

unrelated, but you might get a kick out of this:

i'm not taking it super seriously, or anything, but i started lifting a couple months ago (hour a day, four days a week)

a friend of mine goaded me into it, but i only agreed to do it because i wanted to prove to him that i wouldn't get anything out of it (it also gives me an excuse to hang out with him more and get more water in my system, which is particularly important for me because i have kidney stones now), but for what it's worth, i haven't missed a day

it's been fun, even though i can't squat for shit (my form is fucking HORRENDOUS) and i haven't really made any serious gains yet (need more protein i guess)

Long live NoNolesNeckin.

Ya fuckin' ganderneck.
I disagree with Verb on so many different levels, but I can respect the fact that he seems to have certain principles that he follows adamantly, even if I personally don't fully understand or subscribe to them, and he goes his own way even though he gets all kinds of flak for it. He definitely doesn't seem to hesitate to show people what kind of person he really is and what he believes in so props for being real and not putting on a front to try to "fit in."

nothing impressive, because my partner says i should be focusing more on reps than weight right now

for one rep:
90 pounds on the bar for military (RIP, i fucking suck at these)
100 pounds on the bar for bench
180 pounds on the bar for deadlift (these are my favorite)
180 pounds on the bar for squat (smith machine though, because i suck and need to work on my form)

idk how much the bars weigh if you can't tell, i get different numbers every time i ask

because i'm very out of shape (200 pounds, not fat but very out of shape), i'm mainly focused on just conditioning right now, so basically getting to a point where these unfamiliar motions start feeling natural to me

i'd say i'm halfway there, but my inability to squat properly is rather discouraging

I never really thought about it too much, but you've greatly impacted my life. Thank you for that, you truly are a special person. As for squat advice, don't use a bar, and just go down into a squat slowly while having something you can grab unto for support, and when your back starts bending go back to where you can maintain balance and a straight back and just hold it. This will greatly improve your form after a few days I reckon. The point is to basically not use the support at all

The smith machine won't help with that

to make you feel good about lifting without actually doing anything

nah just kidding, from what i understand the movements you make on the smith machine aren't the same as when you're squatting without the smith machine, so it can actually hurt your form if you get too used to using it
