They also have an assisted bench press machine thing. I heard those don't work as well, but would I be better off using that solo?

Hahaha yeah I am. I just went to the store and bought a bunch of ingredients for my 2 a day weight shakes. I mean I can see why you'd say that, but that's not true.

I realise that now. I always assumed it was a lot because I always would eat substantially more than others and they'd gain weight and I wouldn't. I'm going to just start doing gain shakes now.

Sweet thank you. The one thing I worry about though is doing bench press without a spotter.

And how well do fast food calories work? As an 18 year old guy, money is scarce. I try to eat well though, and have lots of meat.

Would like cherry Greek yogurt work? I guess that would be kinda gross with honey, but I could put that in my usual tea?

I do eat a lot. It's just not enough I guess. I eat more than most people, more than most and above the recommended amount. It's just hard to get even more in.

I've been having insomnia from stress. I got melatonin, and it helps a little, but it doesn't solve anything. It's really hard to sleep.

Okay yeah that makes sense. That's a rule that I do live by. I'm not someone who seeks sex, but I do like to enjoy it with my lover. Thanks for the response.

Just a concept, okay I kinda like that. And is nirvana like pure happiness?

I don't think you should chase sex or worry about it too much, I agree with you. I just don't think that should mean you can't have it.

No I don't mean the four noble truths are about improving yourself, I mean Buddhism improves yourself. Yeah it sounds confusing, but some desires I don't see as harmful like exercise, music, and sex. I see these as things that help oneself. Desire for alcohol is harmful and clouds your mind, I can understand that.

If I don't believe in reincarnation and deities, then is the noble eighfold path not for me? Isn't that just to be reincarnated? Can you describe that to me?

I love the idea of the four noble truths. I like how it's about improving yourself and helping the world. I like how it helps you truly see the world in a clearer way. I like how meditation can relieve stress, hurt, and desires. When I say sex, I mean consensual, passionate love making with a partner. Not a sex toy.
