So there is always voice talking in his head he isn't good enough.


according to audio book David has 3 failed marriages. just mentions gf that he got pregnant and is never heard of again.

has zero relationship with kid.


so he isn't angel like he is being made out to be.
Nobody says that he's perfect but his mindset, discipline and dedication are second to none.
If regular people get a fraction of these attributes, they will surely accomplish more in life.

There is nothing admirable about making commitments and fuking them up so badly that they end in divorce, not once, but three times. I'm sure it was hard growing up in an abusive environment, def seems like he's running from something and probably avoiding attachment and relationships with people because of it. I feel bad for him and don't see how that's any way to live.

Not familiar with this guy but he sounds petty in that response video on Instagram. Truth be told I'm happy for any individual who found their purpose and actively spending all their time working on it. At the same time, I feel sorry for the friends and especially spouse of someone like that. Imagine being married to a literal robot who is so focused on performing all its tasks with such routine and precision. Imagine trying to have a human connection, fun and spontaneity with said person.

Brb wanna cuddle one night and your S/O slams a protein shake "sorry babe gotta hit my window" rolls over and starts sleeping because they need to wake at 4:am to train. Lol.

Wonder hows the sex life like. After running daily marathons, id imagine the last thing his body has in mind is to have sex with some sloot
"The flowers bloom, then wither... The stars shine and one day become extinct. This earth, the sun, the galaxies and even the big universe, someday will be destroyed. Compared with that, the human life is only a blink, just a little time. In that short time - people are born, laugh, cry, fight, are injured, feel joy, sadness, hate someone, love someone. All in just a moment. And then, are embraced by the eternal sleep called death."

Honestly I would not be surprised if they have an arrangement where she's allowed to sleep with other people. From reading this thread and all the chit he does, it feels like the dude is above sex. He probably thinks that nofap/no sex is better for his performance dude to higher test levels

He does it not because he wants to, he does it so doesn't relapse into a depressed bloatcel.

- i get it if you are trying to break records

- i get it if you are trying to get to a high level in something (seals, iron man, etc)

- every single person can benifit from more discipline.

- he takes it to an admirable but extremely unhealthy level that would leave most people with long term health consequences.
This is my take as well.

The literal translation of his message i find outlandish and hard to take seriously. He is a good example of “take the good, leave the bad”. Running 100+ mile marathons until your legs break and doing pullups until your hands split open will not improve most peoples lives in fact they would damage them.

In some weird way hes supposed to inspire you to follow your dreams by saying anything is possible if you put the work in. Thats what i try to take away from him. If you take his advice at face value i would question how responsible it is. I actually at times have trouble taking him seriously and heres why. I can’t recall him ever saying pull out a notebook and write down what your life goals are. Now on another sheet write down what you’re going to work on today to get closer to those goals and do it. That’s what 99% of his followers need to hear, not a story about plastering and taping his shins to make it through the last quarter of a 100+ mile run.

He's just an example of the "no excuses" mentality that many people desperately need.

If some dude is out there running 100 miles with his feet split in half, you sure as hell can go walk around your block and drop that fukin twinkie
