Haha. I don't believe in generalizing, so I did not mean to say everyone has a front, it's not completely true, but if I were not to generalize my thoughts would take longer to write out. Sadly you can't get the most out of what I'm saying because you choose to ignore it and create this mob mentality. Those who do agree with me on some points won't speak out for the most part.

Raptor: unfamiliar things are always scary. Scary = unfamiliar. Something that is true for pretty much everyone who commented on my posts is that most of you don't actually like to think as much as yo like to rant/get emotional. I've said this before many times, but getting emotional is "gayer" than staying rational as I try to, and the person who intelligently criticized my generalizations. I stand by what I say and am not afraid to speak my mind like some of you here because once again, my confidence comes from within, not from what people on a forum have to say.

One IM PERSONALLY laughing because you were HORRIBLY TROLLED. DUH they are going to hate on darq not because of some karma bullshit but just because. Whenever you see any kind of video on youtube there is always some weak ass slob saying thats not ATG or those arent deadhang pullups or someshit like that. HALF THE PEOPLE WOULDN'T SAY SHIT LIKE THIS IN REAL LIFE. What everyone forgets to realize is that HATERS ARE GREAT. AMAZING ACTUALLY. If you don't have haters you are doing nothing with your life. You have to have something for them to be jealous of. No one hates on a fatass.

Two you have to understand that half the shit you just said sounds like some new age shit. No matter what you say about it. You sounded like sicken vendetta there. That is horrible company. Even if meditation is good for you, you made it sound GAY AS HELL. A lot of us meditate, but we dont call it meditation for the most part, its just alone time. You have to remember that when we read your posts we are on a training site and you really have to be careful how you word things.

Third this comment
"It's okay for men to cry. I learned this recently at ultimatemenssummit.com, where these older men are promoting the idea that being stern and unemotional was the old-school concept of masculinity. It's okay to harbor grief, and can be quite therapeutic with a circle of men."

Why must you say it like that. If someone said that to me in real life is no thank you i wont join your circle. Again remember your demographics. For the most part everyone is between 14-30. Would you say this in a high school/college weight room? if not, then don't say it. For a lot of us training is our way of expressing our feelings. Idk bout many of yall but without i would be pretty depressed/smoke weed/become overly sexual. I know it is with darq. Idk his family situation, but from what i do know this is his way of getting away from everything and expressing his feelings.

Fourth, My personal annoyance with you is that you think so freaking much and the way you keep saying confidence from within. To compare it vertical jump training...you sound like a scammer like a luke lowry/alex maroko. We all have our guards up for a reason.


NO ONE WILL READ THE WHOLE POST EXCEPT A FEW PEOPLE. EXPECT THAT. DONT BE SURPRISED. IF YOU LEFT IT JUST AS
WE WOULD ALL BE COOL
MY MAIN POINT IS TO WATCH HOW YOU FREAKIN SAY THINGS...KEEP THINGS SIMPLE AND APPEALING ENOUGH FOR THE AVERAGE BRO AND THEN ELABORATE.

You people really have a lot of time on your hands don't you? I haven't even read all that crap, it's just stupid of me to do so. Blah blah blah blah blah a lot of talk on SHIT. On nothing at all important. Wasted time.

Who the fuck cares what you think/say in a useless subject?

D-Rose:

Why do we always try to analyze people? You're trying to figure out 'why I had to say it like that.'

Get the f*** over it. I actually have improved on getting to the main point, the problem is that there are quite a few points to make...I would say everything I said in a college weight room actually since I aim to share my different thoughts as much as possible without those extraneous worries like "what are my demographics, I should know my demographics so people don't shit on me..." It's again a confidence issue.

If you ever think something sounds 'gay' or 'new age,' realize those are your subconscious programs and judgments. You're basically a robot not a free thinker when you react like that. So you're not thinking, you're reacting. We all do this (look up the amygdala). What I have taught myself to do and preach to others is to detach yourself from your preconceived notions. Takes lots of practice and it won't make sense overnight, maybe over a year...

But it is still relevant to peoples' goals on this forum. Learning these techniques and viewing things openly and non-judgmentally could take your training to a higher level, and help you absorb more information whether it be related to nutrition, or power training. Just some more food for thought.

I could elaborate more, because the way you think is really closed.. you said I almost sound like a 'scammer.' Your perception of a scam is dependent on the open-mindedness and your attachments to your beliefs and generally an inability to relax and view information without judgment and emotion. That's what most of the 'call 'em out' threads demonstrate.
