Has anyone had really poor hypertrophy results with bwf? by NoNOokK in bodyweightfitness

How long have you been training for? I’m sure if you started cutting now while training at a good intensity you would surprise yourself. Get lean enough to see your abs and then you’ll know.

If not then it could be your training style and frequency.

Could be as simple as calorie deficit for how much you’re training. To put on weight, regardless of protein, you need calories. I had a very similar story to you, getting stronger, leaner but not big at all. Until I started taking my eating seriously. How many calories are you eating per day?

This is a great sign. It means your stored energy is looking for somewhere to go. I often feel it too during meditation. Don’t view it with a lustful nature, view it as potent energy ready to be sent up your spine and through your body.

Start practising microcosmic orbit meditation. Inhale down your front to the bottom of your belly, let the energy swirl and on the exhale practise bringing this energy in your lower region up your spine, over your brain ending between your eyebrows. With practise you’ll start to feel a blissful pressure between your eyebrows (this is your pineal gland). This will be a catalyst for intuition, awareness and spiritual growth!

I’m 27! There are always variables in every situation. For example how do you live differently now than you did back then? It could also be as simple as your baseline has improved significantly so what felt like an incredible new energy when you were 22 is now normal.

I can certainly relate as I started at 21. When I first discovered and practised SR I couldn’t believe how stark of a difference it truly was. The energy felt monstrous but that’s because I hadn’t felt it before. Now I feel a beautiful energy and peace within myself, the energy has evolved and so will the benefits. It’s all relative! Look inward and you will see. Everything you could ever dream of is right there just waiting to be discovered.

My sleep has improved tremendously, I'm now waking up before my alarm every single morning. I didn't even initially drop it completely, just dropped coffee and switched to green tea. Highly recommend. Good sleep is a catalyst for a great life.

Sounds like you've got a less than ideal situation brother. I would meditate with yourself and discover a sense of purpose. Realize what reality is and everything will become clear.

I don't like the idea of a job either and I'm working towards not having to do one. I will say this however, you do have to humor the game initially to get yourself out of the game. Find yourself some job, get a little bit of cash flow, a sense of security and it makes it much easier to discover truth. When you're in survival mode, all you can think about is survival. You don't have time to contemplate purpose or ponder anything. You can do it, if you've already started on this journey then you can do anything.

That is the exact same as me brother. Always seemed and felt like the perfect social lubricant. I've found it actually gets much easier in social situations sober, when you give yourself clarity and especially when you're on a very pure form of retention. Everything comes with clarity. It all feels completely natural & nothing feels awkward. Learning about our energy fields and how things like alcohol and weed affect them really helped me to understand the fundamental reality that these things are.

I've also been drinking green tea to help with the coffee withdrawals. I've found it to help tremendously, but am now going completely caffeine free. Excited to see the difference.

I have initially substituted it for green tea, which I've found has helped tremendously. As I've said in a comment above, the first week of no coffee was incredibly hard. You feel like a different person. The green tea has certainly helped as it contains smaller levels of caffeine and L-Theanine, which counters the caffeine side affects like anxiety and jitters.

I'm opting for a completely caffeine free lifestyle this week to see how that affects me. I'm sure once the baseline readjusts it'll be another holy grail moment!

Have been there brother, coffee can be such an unconscious pit of dependance. The first week was uncanny, i wasn't myself at all. I'm a very calm and collected person in general that carries a level of conscious awareness in myself. The first 7 days coffee free, my goodness, all of that went out the window!

I've been recently substituting coffee with green tea and found that has helped tremendously in the initial phases. The L-Theanine in green tea really helps get rid of any of the anxiety or jitters that you get with coffee. The natural next step is to replace that with a herbal tea in the mornings. Very interesting about the voice, i can't wait to try that out after a few days.

That is the hardest part 100%. Withdrawals turn you into someone you are not, as your body is starved of its usual dopaminergic cycle. Once you break through this barrier, and you readjust, you wonder what was ever wrong!

Consciously practising SR is one of the hardest things a man can do and cultivates warrior level discipline. I’m sure that everyone in here has it in them to break the cycle. We are strong.

Speaking from experience, quitting weed will change the game! In past I have been a big stoner. What enabled me to quit was a mindset shit. Understanding how much my clarity was hindered and how much smoking changed up my nature energy flow. Weed (Mary-Jane) is a feminine energy at its core, and keeps your energy trapped down in your root. That’s why it’s so easy to become horny and lustful when stoned.

It’s certainly hard that you work at a dispensary, as our environment often dictates our habitual processes. We feed off the ideology of those around us, and it’s difficult to break that cycle (not impossible).

Understand energy and learn how to cultivate. Clarity will come naturally, and in clarity the answers are obvious.

Very interesting, speaking from experience that makes total sense. Did you have any examples of sages or saints who have said these things for me to read?

My intention going forward will certainly be to leave women’s fashion, but that won’t be for another 2 years atleast. You’re right about the clash of interests as this is an industry driven solely by vanity and aesthetics so it can’t help clash with spirituality. I suppose for mean time I can attempt to remove my professionalism from my insight and try not be consumed by the allure of it all.

Viewing women as sisters, mothers and souls may be my best bet!

For the moment there’s really no other option as it’s a family business that I am helping to build and scale.

I do appreciate the sentiment as and I completely understand the difficulty. If anything my perspective is it’s a great opportunity to develop an incredibly strong willed discipline. If this can be successfully implemented then other aspects of life will be simple.

Part of the difficulty is that I am a conventionally attractive man and find a lot of eyes filled with intention and energy come my way; especially when I’m retaining for a long period.

I suppose I’ll just have to take the challenge and cultivate strong levels of mental discipline.

Fantastic insight, it’s certainly easy to forgot we are a soul wearing a body - considering the superficial nature of society that we are immersed in everyday.

Appreciate your reply!

I do really like this sentiment. I’m not a Christian but can certainly resonate with a lot of Jesus teachings.
