What is YOUR Sport Accomplishment Since Going MGTOW?

[DocSavage46Participant 1]

One thing that I realized upon swallowing the red pill was that, once I started concentrating on what I wanted to accomplish, I actually WORKED towards a goal, and ACHIEVED it!  I had never been physically active, but during a long period (in which my then-gf decided to freeze me out for eighteen months – it’s complicated, and I’ll talk about it in my introduction) (when I get around to writing it) I decided that I wanted to run.  So… I started.  And got better and better.  Last year I accomplished my goal of actually running in, and completing, my first 5k!  I’ve done a few more since then, and except for a period with a physical injury have been going steady.  Next stop, 10k!

I’d add a photo of my accomplishment here, but I can’t figure out how to work the !#@#%#% system yet.  Anyone have any tech advice?  You CAN check it out in my profile, though… I figured out how to add it there.

 

So, here’s my question… what’s YOUR sporting accomplishment since going MGTOW?

I have included the profile photo you uploaded since that was your intention.
Big congrats on your spectacular accomplishment.

Not much of a runner myself. My knees can’t take it.
(It’s not the years… it’s the mileage.)

Big welcome to MGTOW and thanks for joining!

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

I have picked up my gun collecting and shooting sports.

 

You know how hard it is to go hunting while married?  You can’t just grab your buddies and go because your wifey gets all p~~~ed when you do.

And want to buy a gun?  Well, hate to break it to you but your money now belongs to your wife too.  Doesn’t seem to work the other way though for some reason.  Hmmm.

 

I also have started to ride a bike around for a bit of fun and to save gas money too.  I am hoping that one day I can get 60+ miles in a day on the bike like I used to be able to do.

I started weight lifting and jiu-jitsu lessons in my early teens, and I’ve been very glad I did. This was at the height of my Blue Pill days so is doesn’t really count, but I carried on with them as I learned about real life and evolved into taking the Red Pill.

Congrats on completing that 5k, DocSavage. Funnily enough I did my first one last year. Good luck on the 10k.

I’d say my best accomplishment was being brave enough to start boxing.

[GoneGaltParticipant 361]

Congrats!

Btw, I was and still am a huge Doc Savage fan beginning in my teenage years when I first thumbed through a DS paperback novel from the 1960s my father had on his book shelves, which happens to be the source for your avatar – “The Man of Bronze”. Absolutely despised the only movie ever made from it though Ron Ely was a good choice. My brothers were into the Conan series and I used to tell them Doc Savage would whip his sorry ass in a heartbeat – heh heh! I ended up buying the entire series in paperback (I believe it was Bantam) and my worthless younger brother stole them from me, whereabouts to this day unknown. Ah, the Fortress of Solitude!

I’m impressed!

Thanks for the compliment.

In regards to the fitness world I have a “been there done that” attitude.

Right now I am studying a “primitive” form of fitness.  What “fitness” is in the “civilized” world is a lot different than what “fitness” is in the natural world.  Two different philosophies, two different animals altogether.  There are a few similarities but a lot more differences.

I went MGHOW, and started skiing like Forest Gump, I just never stopped! I got real good (extreme) trails are just something you skip across, and back into the woods. Skied some dangerous s~~~, 3 avalanches, one I don’t count cause the trees stopped it!

I use to fly over tables and land half way down the hill, no longer, to dangerous. I enjoy terrain parks, and especially the Giant Half Pipe, but not as much as the woods. I skip over snow covered rocks in brooks, up fallen trees, and moguls’. Killington’s Outer limits is only changing when icy, or there’s Devils Den.

I ski jay peak head wall, broke a pine tree using it to stop, like jumping on a 2X4, loud crack. One fall on that head wall and you’ll be breaking pine trees with your head. I do wear a helmet, it has multiple bark scratches and a large skull and X Bones, I wear skis out like most people use rubbers. My friends and I ski over rocks gravel and all protrusions, we’re that f~~~ing good! Nothing like ripping a fast line through the woods in freshies. It’s only too steep when you are free falling to a bomb hole, It’s a great feeling to ski off 25ft cliffs and stick the landing. Out West, Colorado, and Utah, is f~~~ing awesome! Bottomless powder! Sick f~~~ing AIR without getting hurt! In New England it’s common to see blood spots and body baskets. Getting good at skiing around here can kill you. But I recommend it to any adrenalin junkie!

I had a trial for a county badminton team here in England recently, but unfortunately an old knee injury flared up so no badminton for me for 6 weeks!

Why is this relevant to MGTOW? Badminton is a sport of agility and speed, you don’t want to be heavy. I’m not skinny but I used to play American Football when I was 19 so I was twice the size I am now. Bottom line I am much happier at this weight, my body is built for racket sports like tennis and badminton. When I was younger I used to go to the gym to get big to impress girls. F~~~ doing that s~~~ now, my goals are for me.

I like to stay stong by doing push-ups, pull-ups etc but my aim is to keep strength but stay slim for agility. I had to set my sister straight at christmas when she recommended I buy some weights for my arms, I told her what I thought about her physical appearance. Got to love the holidays 🙂

If you buy a tire and hit it repeatedly with a small sledgehammer (4-8lbs) it will help develop your hitting power more.  There is a huge transfer that chopping wood or trees / sledgehammer work has when it comes to sports that involve hitting (boxing, baseball, tennis, etc.).  It will save your knee but also keep you in shape (cardiovascular) along with developing the right muscles for speed.

[Miles aheadParticipant 42]

Sounds like an awesome idea thanks John.

I’m going to see the physio about my knee this month. I also play football (soccer) regularly but can’t right now until my knee is better. No sports at the moment is driving me nuts, I need an outlet, hitting something sounds appealing. I like strength training but sports are much more satisfying to me.

[John DoeParticipant 743]

I have had a similar, but less serious issue.  The main focus of my workouts, nowadays, is chopping wood/sprints/pulling a heavy bow.  The chopping wood has helped me develop a jab that can (and has) knock somebody flat on their ass.  I do not even box.  My point is that if you take advantage of your time off, and suck it up, your badminton swing will increase.

Give it six weeks.  Get a 4-8 sledgehammer.  Get a tire.  Beat the f~~~ out of the tire for 20-60 minutes 3-5 days per weak.  It will help you develop body mechanics a lot better.  It will help you develop striking power from your toes on up without putting stress on your knee.  It will be easy on your joints.  Or you can practice striking using only the arms/upper body and gain mechanical knowledge of how to only apply thoses..

It will show you how/where to tense up and how/where to relax.  This is important for “hitting things”.  It will strengthen your wrists, which is one of the most important things about striking people forget to train.  Forget the “sixpack” or “ideal look”, train the wrists.  The wrist is an important area for swing a racket/baseball bat/axe/etc.

Hitting a tire will help you understand your body more with how to generate force using either all your muscles or only specific ones.  It will also give you great cardio.  I got my resting heart rate down to 44-45 bpm just hitting a tire or chopping wood.  You will find the repetitive downward strokes strengthen similar muscles to the “pullup”.  I do not do pullups anymore but can knockout 25-30 with a bmi of 27-28.  That is with zero practice on pullups too.

Plus you can burn up to 20 calories per minute and boost your testosterone levels 45% more than if you played a game of soccer.

I jump out of planes.

When taking into consideration a period of time spanning well over a decade of catering to narcissistic sluts, trying to be what their own idealized versions of what they wanted me to be and sacrificing my own life goals, dreams and aspirations in the process. . . . .

Getting out of a Twin Otter at 12k feet is probably a way more logical and rational act at this point than how I was living my life before.

That’s MGHOW quote of the week. Well said and welcome to you.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

[Smitty the Great OneParticipant 1535]

April 11th to July 4th 2013, I walked 1,200+ miles from Poplar Bluff, Missouri to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Eighty-two days with a bunch of side trips and site seeing along the way. I camped out at Kentucky Dam State Park. Visited Ft. Knox and the Patton Museum (it was under renovation) I saw half a dozen different battlefields in Kentucky, went through the Cumberland Gap Into Virginia. I met a bunch a great people, a couple friends I met online. Visited even more battlefields in Virginia I went to Lexington and toured Washington & Lee College, and VMI. Walked Jackson’s flanking march at Chancellorsville. A cemetery and what was left of Ft. Look Out P.O.W. Camp in Maryland. I got all my gear stolen along the way, and a had to improvise for the last 2 week. Then I was there at the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg.

Until you’ve been on one of these fields it’s hard to imagine what happened from records and accounts. I stood there on the Emmitsburg Road, where 2 five board high rail fences where 50% of Pickett’s Charge met their fate. What courage it must have taken, I was in the Army, in the infantry in fact. It is NOT a natural act to walk into the face of gun fire. I can’t imagine the excitement and fear as they cleared the fences and saw 150 guns in 22 batteries all firing at them, canister range is ahead. I walked the actual route Pickett’s Division took. It took me roughly 25 minutes, up until the Emmittsburg Road you can’t see the Union positions, there is a rise that obscures you from site.

Anyhow, that’s my greatest physical /sports type feat, in my life. Maybe not the most impressive. I was 44 at the time, and camped out almost every night. It was an adventure, and I must have done it right, I know I still have it in me to do something great. I still got it.

Life is too long to play by someone elses rules....

[ILiveAgainParticipant]

Got back in to skydiving and starting my old company up again taking skydivers & wildlife photographers to South Africa, Namibia & Botswana. Im even going to get my pilots licence up & running again. All this replaces ‘her’ at no extra cost. Thats right, Im no worse off for doing all these things. Its so f~~~ing peaceful around here now.
