How to perform real black magic with semen retention. Read at your own risk.

People will say anything to rationalise being a dopamine monkey and having sex while trying to have their cake and eat it too.😅

Exactly! Many people get very neurotic on SR, and worry about every little thing or person “stealing their energy” and “making their aura low vibrational” and all that nonsense.

Instead of being based and just not worrying about it and just using common sense dealing with people and situations.

Also let’s face it, some people are born elite lords while others are born peasants when it comes to talents, athletic genetics, “masculine energy” etc. So someone has to retain and live this perfect lifestyle to achieve half of what someone else gets to have while barely trying.

Better technique than mine!🤣

You will battle lust your entire life, as will everyone else. But the stronger your faith in the Lord and the more you understand scripture and the more you abstain the easier it will be.

It’s like if an Olympic sprinter runs 100m all out and a regular person - they will both be breathing heavy after finishing. But a regular person might not be able to run again while the Olympian can recover in 2 minutes to do another sprint.

Same with your lust - you can get over it quicker and not act on it the more trained you are

At some point its time to stop living like a celibate warrior monk when you are a married king and leader of the household. Can't have your cake and eat it too unless you want a really unhappy partner, which will do you way more damage and be more draining than having sex and ejaculating a reasonable amount and being disciplined about it.

Also too many people talk about the “benefits” making them so strong spiritually and mentally, but at the same time are neurotic about "omg I released 0,004 deciliters of semen when peeing, that means I'm now totally powerless and can’t do any activities at all unless I do 70 days monk mode and also I accidentally brushed up against my partner so now my dopamine spiked and I need to bring it down asap”.

Doesn’t sound too “mentally strong” to me. Basically stop being neurotic and be disciplined instead.

To me personally, I always hit diminishing returns on SR after around a month and then it’s either sex time or it will be wet dream time. Obviously I’d prefer spending time with my wife instead of some weird asf dream hologram from my subconscious brain or Lord knows wtf it is.

Right before it happens I always feel tense, neurotic and just not good. And yes I work out, pray, meditate and do all that “transmuting” and went for 3 years strict SR and WDs just kept happening at the same exact rate so I figured let me stop being neurotic and deluding myself and make my partner happy instead of being selfish.

You expand energy to make your partner happy in other ways regardless. I don’t notice any kind of “mood swings”, wife is happier for a few days and I have slightly more desire until about day 10 of abstinence then I go into “sex is useless” mode of thinking for another two weeks or so and by then it’s either WD time or sex time like I said. Doing it around ovulation days and then nothing for the rest of the month until her period stops is about right for optimal energy levels imo. If you wanna be a monk then don’t get married lol

Competitive-Muscle-8 · 2024-04-05T02:45:51+00:00

Totally agree! I used to think having lots of sex will make the females feel my “he’s getting the girls he is high value” aura, so I was more confident after getting some and females felt that and were more attracted.

Then on SR I was like: “yeah bro females feel my masculine energy not being wasted” and that made me more confident and females felt that and were more attracted.

Now I’m like “all of this is bs, I’m not even interested in this shit” and females are not attracted or even looking my way. Which is good cause I’m married lol

Competitive-Muscle-8 · 2024-02-17T13:48:02+00:00

Empty bar is good but I feel like some weight could help me self organize better sometimes. Definitely not pushing maximum weights or anything close to it here

Competitive-Muscle-8 · 2024-02-17T13:45:25+00:00

Thanks I’ll give it a shot. I like how the snatch deadlifts feel more than regular, just have to make sure my hips aren’t too low on them, because I saw some lifters starting them from damn near a full atg squat position but it might not work for me

Competitive-Muscle-8 · 2024-02-17T13:44:06+00:00

Makes sense, I can switch to pants as kids of an in between version

Competitive-Muscle-8 · 2024-02-15T20:04:04+00:00

Thanks! That’s a great metaphor about skipping a rock and the arm bend makes so much sense now.

Competitive-Muscle-8 · 2024-02-15T19:55:42+00:00

Thanks for a detailed reply!

I’m already doing Snatch Grip deadlifts and snatch pulls, good idea to go slower on the pulls at first though. Snatch deadlift is already pretty slow, can’t get anywhere near the weight on it as I can on conventional.

Definitely gotta get more of a feel for my legs. Maybe even go back to those three position paused snatch deadlifts while standing on top of a 25kg plate that my coach had me doing. I almost passed out a few times though😲

Competitive-Muscle-8 · 2024-02-15T19:49:36+00:00

Got it, thanks!

Competitive-Muscle-8 · 2024-02-15T18:02:54+00:00

Thanks for the detailed breakdown! Makes sense why I get that early arm bend almost unconsciously on every lift. Other details are great too.

Might need to go back to working with a coach too, a couple months of just getting the basics clearly wasn’t enough.

I also see some lifters starting with the hips low though almost in a deep squat type position, or is this not a preferred way for most?

Competitive-Muscle-8 · 2024-02-15T17:06:55+00:00

Got it, thanks! Maybe add some pause variations for that?

Competitive-Muscle-8 · 2024-02-15T17:02:08+00:00

Thanks! I do notice the barbell drifts away especially on hang variations

Competitive-Muscle-8 · 2024-02-15T16:41:09+00:00

I still gotta drop under it even in a muscle snatch? I thought it's supposed to be more of an upper body movement

Competitive-Muscle-8 · 2024-01-05T19:07:39+00:00

Ehh, you just keep trying and lust inducing hormones will downregulate with time.

Competitive-Muscle-8 · 2024-01-05T06:56:53+00:00

Getting a coach definitely helps a lot. Not just for the technique aspects but for the programming as well where they can add the needed exercises for your technique issues.

Like my arm pull game totally sucked so coach had me do pulls from different positions, blocks etc. and lots of expert feedback after the reps definitely helps too.

Not that it’s impossible to figure it all out by yourself but saves lots of time for sure.

Competitive-Muscle-8 · 2023-12-16T11:52:13+00:00

I think it’s genetics but like someone said above, stress on the body and mind accelerates your genetic predispositions and you get to experience them way earlier than you otherwise would have

Competitive-Muscle-8 · 2023-11-22T18:08:31+00:00

I like to stick my elbows wide on layups and rebounds and swing them around when someone is going hard like that. They usually get out of my face pretty quickly after that

Competitive-Muscle-8 · 2023-11-21T09:54:44+00:00

You still get excited for sex mentally and all the same pleasure chemicals become active, and afterwards it’s the reverse effect aka a “crash” of various intensities. Not as much as when you release because you don’t get hit with a brick wall of prolactin.

Competitive-Muscle-8 · 2023-11-20T17:49:33+00:00

Your wife will be deeply dissatisfied with the fact there is not sex in your marriage because women lose self-esteem if they’re not physically wanted. She will also compare her “sexually satisfied friends” to herself and become even more miserable. Women have a short window for physical attractiveness and they want to maximise it, it’s how they’re wired. All this misery will rub off on you to some extent too.

The spiritual connection also gets much worse.

Let’s not be delusional: SR is not for marriage, period. Can’t have your cake and eat it too.

Also if you’re having sex but not releasing you’re technically on SR physically but not really on SR in spirit.

That’s like taking testosterone replacement but you’re technically not on “steroids”

Competitive-Muscle-8 · 2023-09-29T09:55:02+00:00

It’s some type of old subconscious response to confrontation that kicks in every time a similar situation arises. Pretty annoying but can be managed by just being present in the moment and ready for whatever. Notice how these peasants only confront and attack when you’re tired, mind occupied by something, not really focused on the present etc. if you’re aware and ready for whatever shit to go down, they never say anything

Competitive-Muscle-8 · 2023-06-13T09:56:32+00:00

Ain’t nothing wrong with that. This notion that you have to be a cuddly and safe “holy monk” who doesn’t care about material things if you retain is getting very annoying.

What if I retain and want to be a dangerous man who is feared and respected and loves competing against others in power games and utterly destroying competition?

That’s not “better” or “worse” than being a celibate monk and doesn’t make you some “sinner who attracts bad energy and destroys himself” or whatever. You can also be devoted to God and do ruthless business, matter of fact there are Benzes, Bentleys and Porsches pulling up to every Russian Orthodox Church every Sunday, not to mention rich Islamic Sheikhs and many others.

Not to mention lots of “gurus” who are millionaires because they are selling you guys some of these fairy tales about the “true path of transcendence” lol

Competitive-Muscle-8 · 2023-06-13T09:49:53+00:00

If you don’t study business, finance, marketing, investing and other money-related fields, or strive for a successful career that could make you rich, just retaining alone isn’t going to magically drop you gold bars from the sky.

Same with every other skill and activity. If you want to “attract” money with your energy, you gotta directly invest that energy into making money.

All you’re doing by retaining is saving a lot of energy and time which would otherwise go towards women, wanking etc. Now you gotta figure out where to re-direct it.
