Let's weed out the idiot, newbies!
We all love newbies. We hate idiot newbies. Don’t be an idiot, newbie! This thread is actually to protect the idiots and maybe make them good newbies before they even start.
Name some things we need to say to weed out the ones that will hurt themselves.
- Ask yourself, if you invest 2 years of your time and you gain nothing but strong EQ or up to 1/16 of an inch would you do it? If you answer NO, PE is not for you. You can have an objective to reach 1/2+ inches but when you push that hard with that mentality, you will hurt yourself.
- You must be on Thundersplace reading threads for at least 100 hrs before you start a newbie routine and or post anything.
- Will you do more than just PE? If you answer NO, PE is not for you. You must have other objectives, working out for some level of fitness, education, money, hobby etc. You are going down a path of discipline. PE has to be done in parallel with another project that is not a short-term project.
- You never question the time it takes to do something if you are thinking about it half-ass or if you will reach X objective by doing the minimum because of time. You would never tell a bodybuilder you have X objective but you only have time to do a little, they would look at you like a dumb ass, that is how newbies asking those questions are treated here. The same as any discipline. Going all in does not mean forcing yourself to any extreme. That also does not mean we don’t want you to start extremely slow, it just means you can’t do this occasionally or with time on your mind because that is not a part of PE.
- This is not an extreme sport, this is a marathon at a walking pace. Never a run or sprint but occasionally a power walk can be useful for *some, maybe even that is not for you.
- You must trust the process
- Always trust the vets when they say don’t do X more than X, they have burned themselves already and are telling you to not touch the flame on the fire. LISTEN.
