Advice Working out is not a suggestion it’s mandatory
Lifting should be one of the foundations of becoming a king.
Effects of lifting
⚫️ better respect from both men and women. No one would dare disrespect a fit guy who takes care of himself
⚫️better testosterone levels which means you have high energy and don’t feel tired all the time.
⚫️ you sleep better.
⚫️high metabolism
⚫️better motivation and discipline
⚫️high confidence from good physical appearance
Every king should make working out a must

I must say that gym literally saved my life. I was on very very wrong, hedonistic path, I was harming myself constantly going out to party blacking out almost every time and PMOing a lot. Lifting weights taught me to be patient and systematic. And you just feel so good when u eat healthy and work out you know? 😊

Adding high intensity cardio can also lead to slower aging and reduced risk of chronic disease

Start tracking your calories. 90% of the time, when people think they have a high metabolism, it's actually because they're eating far fewer calories than they imagine.

I didn’t start gaining weight until I started tracking how many calories I was metabolizing. Seriously I recommend everyone keep track of their calories consumed throughout the day, just carry around a piece of paper or use your phone or something. My base appetite seems to be very low so sometimes I have to force myself to eat.

I'd recommend body weight training, it's free and rewarding and would be relatively easy since your weight is so low. I did the Russian fighter pull up program for a while and saw great results.

Look up “Starting Strength”. Follow that routine like it’s the Bible, and eat large amounts of clean food. In a year you’ll be a monster.

I don't like working out in general I'm all about self improvement but I just don't like working out in general it doesn't give me a good feeling or anything I rather be working on my car and learning other new things

Embrace being uncomfortable it’s for self betterment long term thinking over short term thinking

I'm not uncomfortable I just don't like it I don't enjoy it everytime I'd go I just got bored and it feels as a waste of time I'm not uncomfortable with my body at all I'm pretty lean but that is okay in my opinion, and I do some mountainbiking to keep in condition and I just generally enjoy it
I don't think you need to workout to be a king or become a king

u/Jofarr May 03 '20
ur making excuses. Youre not bored youre uncomfortable theres a difference. If you push through that discomfort a good feeling is waiting for u on the other side.

I'm sorry king but I have to disagree I don't feel uncomfortable going to the gym people keep putting that in my mouth but that's simply not true I don't like going it doesn't give me a good feeling. Working and earning gives me a way better feeling than going to the gym I'm not uncomfortable with my body and i get respect from people around me I don't need to be buff for that.

You are correct. If you're healthy and have the right mindset, you're a king. No need to be hitting the gym 24/7. This sub is for kings, not gymbros.

Do you eat well? I used to not like working out too but I had a goal, so I worked out anyway only to be met with pain and no gain at all. Turns out I barely eat in general and all I eat were just calories to get by. There was a time period were I ate more (and healthy) that significantly improved working out. No weird pain, no uncomfortable tiredness.

Could you give a few diet tips for a dude that doesn’t eat as much as he’d like to? I’ve been working out for quite some time now but I don’t feel that great, beyond the pride I take in finishing my hard work outs

I'm not an expert because I recently started eating more and better too. What is the reason you don't eat much? Could it be you don't like the taste or do you get full easily etc.

I get full quite easily, and fortunately my mother raised me with a fairly good diet, so I enjoy a lot of vegetables and fruits

Walking or running is not the sport for kings, lifting is.

u/Triple_Integral May 03 '20
I used to only lift, but then the quarantine happened.
Running taught me a profound amount about manly endurance and refusing to quit when you want to.
In my opinion, kingly living is about being the men we were meant to be. Only lifting with no cardio gives the look of power, but none of the athleticism.
None of us would doubt that military service is manly. To make it in there, we need strength AND endurance, muscles and speed.
Running (not walking) has tested my fortitude in ways lifting never did.

Let's agree on a good mix between the two. I used to 10-20km each second day, and while I had good endurance, I was really thin which I doubt was king like. My confidence only grew after I started lifting.

May 03 '20
you can run and be not thin, although you def. will be thin if you're doing 45-60KM weeks consistently and not eating 3500+ calories.

May 03 '20
Yes that is correct, I was definetly obsessed over it, it was actually not healthy at all.

It's good to start with and it's free and works well to get people on the right path.

You only need your bodyweight to lift, it's free too! But I agree that my comment was hyperbolic.

Rucking has been pretty fun so far, usually I dislike cardio but for whatever reason I enjoy it.
