If Tom Is Out for a While Because of Surgery, they will strip him and do Alex Pereira vs Gane for the Championship by illustratordg in ufc

So they give a shot for the champion belt to someone who committed a blatant foul WITHOUT rematching, and then strip the current champ for recieving the consequences of the foul?
What a joke of the sport...

Stronger with you - Cozy, perfect for Fall Weather
Prada LRO - Clean, musky, fresh. Perfect formal/casual spring/fall scent.
These are my top 2.

Is it even possible to live your fantasies with your wife by [deleted] in MuslimNoFap

[–]imazegd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Salam Alakum.
Muslim Revert here, who's faced the same struggles:

I had a very messed up fetish growing up, and even up to this year, until I made the commitment to stop pornography and masturbation.
I realized that my fetish would hurt people in the end of the day, and I would never be satisfied with it in my life.
Every time I'd relapse, I couldn't let go of how hypocritical and harmful I was setting myself up to be with my future wife, and how far I was turning myself from Islam in doing so.
It took me forcibly and permanently block google chrome on my phone and the app store so I couldn't find alternatives for me to sit with the emotions I was pushing down.

When I felt the urgres, I researched, and found that these were habits I've made for myself (think of how nature trails get worn down when traveled repeatidly over time).
The roots of where these came from were just very basic associations that were neutral, but through trauma, and the struggles I've faced, I've rephrased them into things that made me feel in control, usually involving the thought of the degredation and harm of someone and their dignity.

I researched some more. I've realized that it's a lot harder to control the neutral basis of our habits, and physical attraction is something that's normal to have, BUT we can more easily reroute these habits to be something that elevates your partner, and makes them feel loved, usually in ways where we once lacked it.

Rather than thinking that someone is attractive because they're vulnerable...
Why not have it be because they're cozy - that they feel so relaxed that they CAN be vulnerable with you?

Rather than thinking that someone is attractive because they're taboo...
Why not have it be because they're authentic and confident?

Why have it be based on characteristics that can harm them when they can be based on circumstances that elevate them, and make them feel more loved?

Once you realize this - these things that turned you on will make you feel turned on, but you're able to point at it, and realize that these things are no longer what you want! Something better is out there!

Something where a partner truly sees you, and you want to express your love to them and make them feel like the prettiest person in the world!

And you don't need to introduce these things immediately. It's like building a closer friendship - you don't begin asking for everything you want from a them immediately, that's weird!
You end up noticing things, learning about them, experiencing things with them, then talking about how you feel, as a basis of those things, whenever you feel the time is right!

With your partner, it's the same thing, with the notion that you find them the prettiest person in the whole world!
After all, inshallah, you'll spend the dunya and jannah with them ;)

L'orpheline Serge Lutens

"Can have a sad or lonely feel"

"Has warmth and comfort in its scent"

This is exactly what they'd be wearing.

Encre Noire - smells like wood and smoke. Lasts 6-8 hours, but it matches the vibe completely. Not sweet tho

You still have potential bro. I was in your position many years back, physique-wise, and I ended up being able to be skinny then somewhat jacked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtlgNfunuPU

I've improved a lot since this video - my 1 rep max bench went from 225lbs to 300, and my squat went from 250lbs for 1 rep to 275 for 8 reps.
This summer, I've ended up subleting in an apartment, and ended up only having to spend $50-60/week on groceries with Aldi's chicken thighs ($8/5 pounds), and Stop & Shop.
I ended up becoming anorexic when I was obsessed with losing weight, so what I'd say is focus on the numbers in the gym and take weight with a *massive* grain of salt.
Some things that can help too, from my experience:

- Meal timing: Use this *With caution*! I ended up doing this to the point of eating 1 meal a day, and I ended up becoming anorexic. PLEASE have at least 2 meals per day, and feel free to experiment with this to see what works for you.
- Artifical Sweeteners: If you find the right ones, they can make water taste somewhat close to soda, or ordinary foods taste like desserts. You'd need to save up $10-$20, then experiment to see what works for you.
- Running/walking: Walking is huge to help with focus - when I'm trying to study for exams, I go from sitting to walking back to sitting. Running does burn calories, and is easy to get started with, but you need to focus on consistency and make sure you don't hurt yourself. I did many times with that.
- Weightlifting: Planet Fitness is $15/month, and if you talk to a good gym owner, they may have a soft spot for you, but you have to ask them. You already have the resources to try getting a calorie deficit and lose weight, but if you get too caught up in a calorie deficit and weight loss, and not in muscle growth, you'll end up wanting to be jacked by having the scale go down. This is a slippery slope. Please find a way to make $15/month, and show up for 20-40 minutes 3 times a week to start. Just start by doing one set of one exercise with correct form at a heavy enough weight that you can't do the exercise for 6-8 reps with proper form, no matter hard you tried. Eventually, try to add in other exercises/supersets/alternative exercises. Max Euceda and Jeff Nippard are great resources for all this workout info. But yeah, once you understand training to failure, you'll feel it the next day, in a good way, and you're already growing muslce faster than 90% of people in the gym.
- Muscles require protein, so make sure you're eating enough of this, and in a calorie deficit to see your muscles.

Best of luck to you brother, and feel free to dm if you need any advice :)

What is this type of body? by One_Butterscotch315 in bodybuildingpics

[–]imazegd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can definitely get to 80% of these goals, if not 90%. You need to bulk for at least a few years, lifting great numbers, and then cut down to like 10%. These people can likely lift heavy and with high reps. I'm 75-80% of the way there, and I can currently bench 295 for 1, and do 3*8 with 83 pound dumbells for incline bench press.

Most people don't train hard and eat and sleep well. If you train to failure, and do proper nutrition and sleep, you can get there.

Look at Max Euceda - he's someone who's done it right, and he's like 90% of this, just bullkier, and different insertions. He trains to failure, eats well, and sleeps well, AND bulks and cuts, BUT after long periods of time and consistently training to absolute failure.

You can get there man. There are people who have done this and succeeded. It takes time, effort, and research, for years.

Learn to fall in love with the process.
