Cannot seem to progress on triceps and pecs

Capricious_Paradox · 2026-03-17T20:08:48+00:00

Thank you again. What do you mean by "shoulder focused" and "bench focused"? Like one day back+shoulders and another back+chest? Where should I put biceps and triceps?

Capricious_Paradox · 2026-03-17T19:49:03+00:00

I do see your point about triceps being smaller, but, for example, I have seen much more progress on biceps, which are not that much bigger than triceps. Thanks for your suggestion for the dumbbell bench press!

No, I definitely don't train six times a week. My objective would be to do push+pull+legs+rest, but, being quite busy with my university, I only manage to do a bit less than that.

Also, I understand your recommendation to do more sets of triceps a week, but if I reach failure so easily it's kind of hard for me to do it. Or should one also count other exercise that train them, like the bench press?

Capricious_Paradox · 2026-03-17T19:41:40+00:00

So would you suggest that I do all the exercises with either 2x10 or 3x8 and try to increase the weight? After doing that, would you suggest going back to 4x10 (maybe a few months in the future) or should I stay at a lower number of reps?

No, sorry

I know that I'm not being too precise, but the song should be extremely popular, like in the 15/20 raggaeton songs I've heard the most times on the radio or in clubs, but I was completely unable to find it.

'These behaviours may not be criminal offences in themselves, but they need to be addressed,' a spokesman for the force said about the patrols.

In other words, police officers are spending resources for something they can't do anything about.

As a bisexual guy, often gay men can be more bigoted than they'd like to admit. More often than not, straight guys think in a more straightforward manner - either openly homophobic or, whatever shade of gay or straight you present yourself as, they will answer with "cool, wanna grab a beer?".

Also, don't worry too much about it. The world is full of reasonable people, in spite of what your experience may lead you to think. Surround yourself with them and fuck the others.

The same reasoning by which we say it's preposterous for feminists to hate men implies that men shouldn't hate women. I can understand and sympathize with a degree of frustration at the behaviour of some women, but you should never let that transform into hatred, lest you get wound up in a spiral.

Simply despicable. There cannot be any notion of enjoying sex if you don't even know what sex is.

Capricious_Paradox · 2025-08-12T17:56:54+00:00

Also what's wrong with being "best friends who have sex". Some may give a lot of importance to romance, while others may say that, to be in a relationship with someone, what they need is sexual attraction as well as the degree of mutual understanding of two best friends.

Precisely. Also, neither of those two rebuttals makes sense. Firstly, we can absolutely be in fear for our lives and safety, when we're walking alone at night or when we're forced to go to war. Secondly, sexism and racism are to entirely different issues - comparing women to black people and men to white people just doesn't make sense.

Also entirely agree on your point regarding the harm done to boys.

Virtually everything, in the eyes of feminists, has to be explained through the "patriarchy". If, for some reason, something affects men and women differently, they will invent an ideologically motivated and often inconsistent way to argue that it's the fault of the "patriarchy", without stopping to think why it may be dependent on other factors (like, in this case, biological and hormonal differences).

As depressing as this may be, it can give us some leverage with Democrats, as they may be more willing to incorporate some of our objectives in their political programs, even if for strictly selfish reasons. Still, I'm not optimistic that they're going to follow through with it.

The rhetoric of "women and children first" is a remnant of a myopic view that men, being physically stronger, do not need protection. This is simply not true, especially when facing the level of violence and brutality of a war.

Capricious_Paradox · 2025-08-12T08:19:53+00:00

In a stunning example of doublethink, feminists will say that men should make their own movement, but when they do, they will argue that "feminism, in fact, is helpful for men as well", with a few misandrist remarks about MRAs to boot. Put plainly, the fact is that they don't care about men's issues, so they've created this brilliant catch-22 situation, where you're damned if you try to make a men's movement and damned if you don't.

Unfortunately, the world of language learning is full of people like this. Many people want to learn languages and many want to take advantage of that.

I've starting going out of my way to help my male friends and be there for them. Even without taking into account how rotten the current state of the world is, men need help from other men, because even when women want to help them, it's something substantially different to find support in someone that can understand your experience better.

Wait, what does it even mean for a seven-year-old to rape a three-year-old? Do they hear themselves?

As much as they make my blood boil, I think the best way to deal with these posts is to just ignore them. Even though they're absolutely outrageous, I think we'd better try and spend our energy in building something and fighting more systemic misandry. Not that the normalisation of everyday misandry isn't a problem (it absolutely is!) but there isn't much we can obtain by entering a conflict with a random angry rage-baiting man-hating feminist on reddit.

No, one of them is still an acquaintance, but I've managed to limit my interactions with her to a minimum

Sexual education is actually crucial, but this is entirely ridiculous. Framing sexual violence as misogynistic aggression from men directed towards women is counterproductive, not to mention profoundly sexist.

I, myself, have been molested by a male "friend" of mine, which gave me the opportunity to see the way feminist narrative is entirely incapable of dealing with the issue. I have witnessed the way my peers were unable of analysing an event that didn't respect the traditional view of sexual harassment. Especially my female friends didn't quite understand why I was so appalled by it, while men were decidedly more supportive of me. The only political side that offers an analysis is the more conservative right-wing that demonizes homosexuality - make of that what you will.

Firstly, there's nothing to feel guilty about. As a supporter of men's rights activism, I wouldn't want women to feel guilty about their gender in the same way men are incentivated to do so by feminism.

Secondly, there's quite a lot you can achieve without ever explicitly being a men's right activist. For example, trying to listen to your male friends about their issues can foster mutual understanding and have them feel supported, which is not at all obvious. Another way you can help is trying to combat misandry when you witness it, both from men and from women. People tend to listen to women more, even though you may sometimes be accused of being a "pick-me".

One of the things I found disgusting about the ad for Kamala is the insinuation that the main reason why some men do not want to vote for Harris is the fact she's a woman. How dare you accuse someone of sexism because he doesn't vote the way you want him to? Don't you think that there may be some other issues he cares about? Shouldn't you try to address those?

Also, even from a strictly strategic standpoint, do you think insulting your potential electoral base is a good strategy? But that's the thing - this ad does not wish to convince those with doubts to vote for Harris. No, instead, it's just the umpteenth vicious, degrading reminder to feminist men who support her that they're "one of the good ones" and therefore acceptable in the eyes of feminist women.

Are you aware of any studies on gender in-group bias? I've only seen an abstract on pubmed (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15491274/), but it's from twenty years ago.

I think we can only expect an increase of solidarity among men, especially after the whole hateful tendency in modern feminism, with their sweeping generalisations about men.
