I was in the same boat as you, what I found was that team activities like sports or group cardio makes it much more enjoyable. You get to socialize and workout at the same time.

As for martial arts, HPS Maxine has stated that martial artists have stronger souls and are easier to read. I did martial arts at one point, and there were several times where I could have sworn one of the instructors heard what I was thinking (this was before I became a Satanist). You just know. I think it boils down to focus. When you have perfected a certain technique, you don't have to *think* about doing it, you just know you're going to do it, and the body follows. It's like you're moving your soul instead of your body, and the body follows. This creates a mind-body connection that most people don't have. Which opens up for other things like telepathy. The style doesn't matter, this can come from any kind of exercise.

When I used to treadmill running in the gym, I would go into a trance-like state and get to a point where I was moving my soul instead of my body. My aura would expand and my kundalini would throb more powerfully than I've yet experienced in meditation. The energy was actually moving upwards from this, as I was getting crawlies. When I would step down from the treadmill, I was moving my astral body, and my physical body followed, like I was floating. This only lasted for 5-10 seconds afterwards.

I finally realised what my mistake was. When the fire starter came here to argue, instead of answering the question of the OP, I should've said "I'm not here to discuss about weight-lifting. I was only here to answer the OP and give him advice." Instead, I fed the fire and allowed the fire starter to drag other people in and turn this into a flame. Even if I didn't get emotional here, I apologise to the OP, to those who got caught in the discussion-turned-argument and to those who are reading annoyingly. I'll try to avoid the same mistake next time.

All I see are a few rhetorical questions that were made to try and prove a point. A point which you both agreed on. This isn't putting words into anyone's mouth, you can see this if you read the sentences in question a few times. And this was AFTER you called the guy an infiltrator because you thought he was disagreeing with you - even though he wasn't. Just read the posts. So who threw the first stone again?

I'm not flaming at all. I'm addressing what you both wrote, it can't be refuted. And no one *dragged* anyone into this. I'm willingly addressing this because I don't like to see people being gagged and bulllied for no reason. Which is what you're doing because someone supposedly disagreed with you. And it's not the first time either.

And now you're blatantly blame-shifting under the guise of admitting a mistake. You're clearly the fire starter here dude, get real and stop overreacting to everything. You seem really scared to be wrong, it's becoming clearer and clearer and it's almost unreal to witness. And it needs to be addressed by someone who can see through all the fancy argumentative words which you often use incorrectly.

Yes Sir, that's what I meant, but you stated it much better. Thank you. I can agree with you here!

That is interesting what happened with the instructor. Which martial art did you practice? I’m curious to hear which martial arts others in the community have practiced.

To the one asking about Aikido..

What I know or have read of it is that it is supposed to be a mixed marterial arts type, with about only exclusively defense type moves.

What I know of the spiritual side, is not much, as I only took one lesson to see what it was like (it was fun by the way I do have to say that), but they said that by controlling of the energy like.. Im not 100% sure what I was told, but, they said that if you were to put your hand on anothers shoulder and they were to hang on it normal peoples arms would bend.

But they couldnt get to do that with me LOL.

And that if you changed your focus or something like maybe trying to grab something behind (maybe Im not sure) that it wouldn't be possible to get that arm to bend even if people hung on it.

But its also different muscle contraction to stretch the arm. You don't use your biceps, you use the idfk what it is called on the downside of your arm.

I read it multiple times. Still doesn't change. Who threw the first stone? It's clear from the top someone came here explicitly to argue. Otherwise, they would've limited themselves to answer the OP, instead of accusing me of posting misinformation basing on unsubstantiated evidence.

I'd suggest you avoid dragging this on any longer. Just because you guys let your emotions dominate you and blind you instead of seeing clearly once the word Jew/infiltrator/Xian is used, doesn't make you on the side of right. If I wanted to bully someone, the discussion would have gone much differently. Next time you won't receive an answer as I'm not going to entertain this any longer. Neither here or on other topics.

I see. So what triggered you was Gaal Zuh asking you not to spread misinformation? This was in his first post, and maybe a bit cheeky, yes, but not starting a fire. On the other hand, your subsequent responses were disproportionate and childish in the extreme. You went from 0 to 100 in one post and kept it up throughout the whole topic. And while Gaal Zuh was trying to deescalate the whole thing, you started accusing him of stuff based on unsubstantiated 'evidence'. Which is what you're accusing him of doing now, lol. Just read the posts. You're clearly the overly emotional one with a hair trigger temper.

I called you out on this and you blame-shifted. I then called you out on your blame-shifting, and now you claim I let my emotions dominate my judgement even though everything I wrote was pure logic and based on what you wrote. So you're actually the one appealing to emotions, my emotions, which is bizarre. Now I'm calling you out on this, but you already took the reservation of not responding anymore because you've run out of creative ways to get off the hook. The ability to take responsibility should free you from this pattern.

Thank you for your suggestion.

That quote of mine, has nothing to do with this thread. My quote was about below-average non-SS who believe in stupid things for no logical reason and then demand respect for their opinions, such as something like "drugs are great and that's my personal opinion so you have to respect it" (not the best example but I'm lacking on time). It has nothing to do with SS who state their opinions based on experience.

(Someone emailed me about this and I felt the need to reply here, as they pointed out that it misrepresents me. I don't want to look like an idiot for something I had nothing to do with.)

Dark_Void wrote:That is interesting what happened with the instructor. Which martial art did you practice? I’m curious to hear which martial arts others in the community have practiced.

I need to keep the specifics private because this was obviously a rare situation, and I live in a small country. But again, I personally don't think the style matters. If you can get the "flow" and the mind-body connection consistently when doing your movements, this is what builds power. Just like yoga. However, internal martial arts are obviously the way to go if you want to learn *how* to use these energies in physical combat. I never had any training in this, although I've had it happen by accident once or twice.

It's probably also easier to get into the above state with a "flowy" art like Aikido, rather than MMA (just to state an example). But I don't know.

It's really disappointing to see a SS constantly act like this especially since Stromblood does help out in his replies on the forums sometimes. Dude you need to chill out and start using logic. Nick has been doing a good job dissecting that situation imo.

Anyways, as for me I've been sticking to calisthenics/weight training and the aesthetics seem to be better for sure than when I just lift weights and most importantly my strength has improved way better as well.

Although what Gaal has put is very interesting.

Oops I meant body* weight training.

When you do your calisthenics and body weight training, do you keep your heart rate up while doing the exercises, like to combine cardio and strength training? Or do you do these on separate days? I am having results with my regimine, but I want to try and have an open mind to other's advice and experience in the matters if something works well for them

That sounds like cross-fit and we here have talked about how dangerous that way of exercising is. Many people come out injured when exercising like that.
I myself have always been told by couches and trainers that you should take a break in between sets. A good +/- minute break (without letting yourself cool down too much) gives you more energy to do a set than if you just immediately go at it again right after doing an exercise.

Whoa calm yourself down there, this some legit bro science lol. It's just endurance training, nobody gets injured unless they do exercises wrong.

Yes, I think this way too. When I say I include cardio with strength training, I mean that I do both but on different days. I just have this friend constantly talking about doing both at the same time. I am seeing that it's not just me that is skeptical of his methods.

Thanks for the reply!

The way I'm training now, we have target heart rates during exercise, depending on the intensity of the day. Recovery between sets/exercises is instead focused on lowering heart rate as much as possible until it goes lower than 50% of the max.

So kind of like a form of alternating interval training, based on staying within corresponding heart rate levels? If that's what you are speaking of that's really interesting you mention this because I was just reading and researching about this myself a little bit ago and then saw your post. I am looking to find the best way to add this to my cardio work. You all have have my curiousity piqued here.

Well, yes. It's interval training. For now, we're only working on the basics so we can get rid of mobility issues. So, we're only using tabata (20, 10) and 7 minutes AMRPAPs for strength protocols. In the program I've bought (Primal Stress), it explain the whole philosophy and also talks about to kind of cycles. A 4-day cycle that includes:

• a no-intensity day where you only work on reviving joints with light mobility exercises (this should constitute the warm-up on other days). Other complementary activity are also suggested during this day such as more mobility, Tai Chi, light stretching, walking swimming, hiking.
• a light-intensity day where you do the warm-up and other more complex and flowing mobility exercises (that constitutes the cool down on other days). Complementary activities: yoga, pilates, deep stretching, myofascial release, jogging, biking and some free programs of the community (ageless mobility, prasara yoga, tactical gymnastics).
• a moderate-intensity day where you the warm-up, the protocol of the week at moderate intensity, and the cool down. Complementary activities: rowing, mountain biking, running, moderately hard circuit conditioning.
• a high-intensity day with warm-up, strength protocol at high intensity and cool down. Complementary activities: sprinting, hill runs, very hard circuit conditioning, racing (rowing, biking, paddling) and some high-intensity interval-training paid programs of them.

There is also a 7-day protocol for those who can't do it in the other format: no, low, moderate, no, low, moderate, high. And, of course, the classical 3-day split, although neither of these two is optimal.

The author of the program encourages journaling to evaluate progression and regression. And, since everyone is at different level of ability, he suggests a three-factor model to identify intensity. The three factors taken into consideration are technique, exertion and discomfort. Each parameter is given a score from 1 to 10. For technique 1-2 corresponds to very poor/sloppy form and 9-10 to extremely good form. Exertion is how much stress you're expressing and/or resisting, with 10 being the hardest you've ever worked. So 1-2 corresponds to very easy and 9-10 to extremely difficult. Discomfort is your pain level. 1-2 = no discomfort, 9-10 extremely painful (the highest pain you've experienced). The goal is to maintain high technique and exertion but low discomfort. There is even a compass that identifies incorrect behaviours: high technique + low exertion + high discomfort = overuse; low technique + low exertion + low discomfort = disuse; low technique + high exertion + high discomfort = misuse.

The goal is to keep technique to 8 or higher, discomfort to 3 or lower and exertion to 6 or higher. Other parameters used are heart rate and breathing. Awareness of these two can give insight on the intensity of your activity. Now I won't write the parameters here as I've already written a lot and I can't type hundreds of pages of material. There's a lot of scientific inquiry, stress psychology, willpower, visualisation, fear psychology, recovery, nutrition, etc I would share it for research purposes but it's 133 MB. It would take ages to upload.

To further expand on the 4-day cycle:
• a no-intensity day warrants for 20-40% of the max heart rate and an exertion of 2-4
• a light-intensity day warrants for 40-60% heart rate maximum and an exertion of 4-6
• moderate intensity day: 60-80% heart rate maximum and an exertion of 6-8
• high-intensity day: 80-100% heart rate maximum and an exertion of 9-10

Since you specifically asked on interval training, other than tabata and AMRAP these are the training methods used are EMOTM, AFAP and other unnamed ones.

Taekwondo is a great martial art(this contains the traditional Korean martial art called Tekkyon and the philosophy is based in Korean ancient religions) but the main issue is the spiritual practices are not included.

Bro science hell yeah! Chest bump bro! XD

I've seen some of their workouts and they do seem unnecessary and dangerous (not all but a lot) but they do have some things that are helpful which can be said about weight lifting as well. The programs or gyms that do these are the same. Just about getting money and making you feel like you're doing something special.

No worries. Just apply critical thinking. While some advices about nutrition, for example, are correct, others - such as "eating most food raw or very rare" - is not very healthy, unless prepared in a particular way like Japanese prepare sushi, sashimi and the likes. But that takes a lot of training, so it's best to leave it to professionals in Japan, not even so-called professional in Western countries, as they have a looser attitude toward it and you can end up with digestion problems.
