@SaintSovereign the core when 
?
After I get feedback. This title is just as long as Wanted Black. Need to see if that equates to density.

would stacking this khan and lots be too dense ?
Probably. Whatās the goal here? Added more edge to HERO, then physicality with LotS?

yes thatās pretty much it . I really liked khan because it really did amplify alot of the things in my personality that i actually liked whereas eradicating the things that i didnāt . I just want to develop myself in the best ways possible and live a good life .
i had a couple of plans that i was going to try .
-
run lots and hero for 4-6 months then swap khan for lots
-
is the same as plan 1 but with khan and hero for 4-6 months
-
run Khan and Hero for a few cycles then adding Lots later
Edit:
My goals when running khan were essentially to get laid at first but as time went on and i got deeper into it the program actually did a lot more than that . It did give indicators of interest from girls i was into but it also gave a fiery passion to actually pursue my wildest dreams (getting into boxing and starting my own business ) . It made me very comfortable around girls i was attracted to and learn very quickly from blunders I make around women .
actually typing this out im gonna shelve lots for the time being but i would still love your input

Ran a 5 minute loop:
I was being a bit lazy today, was thinking of taking the day off, but at the end of that 5 minutes.
I sat up straight and went off to do a task I had put off for a week.
The most noticeable is the feeling of mindfulness in all the actions. Like I pay more attention to the micro actions I do. I feel like a scrutiny mode has been turned ON in my head, not in a judgemental way but more of an enhanced feedback type.
And when I was chopping potatoes to make some fries, I was able to distinctly feel like that kitchen knife was something special. All the cuts on the potatoes were done with extra care, usual i just cut willy-nilly, but today I was just too mindful and tried to cut in equal shapes.
And after they were done while eating, I also felt that the potatoes and the spicy mayo was extra colorful, like a contrast filter was turned ON. taste wise felt the same as usual.
I also feel motivated to keep doing something, not just staying stillā¦
I was just gonna try a loop to check it out, but now Iām curiousā¦
Thanks for the sub yāall.

I think if you can be more specific about what you want to amplify and what you want to eradicate, Saint will be able to give you better feedback about how helpful stacking Khan with Hero Origins would be.
I realized when I started asking for advice and saying exactly what I was looking for in terms of results, like saying I wanted more groundedness vs just saying āalphaā then I got better feedback on the forum

will do that
This is just fire, i have been playing a game, i was stuck in a fight, so was trying again, died a couple of time but but but this time i anticipated and learned all his moves , how to effectively side step and the timing of his attacks tf, then i beat him like a Breeze,
i searched up on reddit how hard it was after i beat him, people were advising to use healing items or a non functioning battle tip. Meanwhile me with no healing items and just raw fighting technique, i got it 
Well one moment,i was in flow studying my syllabus, another moment i was gaming like my life was dedicated to it lol
This is the title i dreamed of

5 min loop initial impressions~
-
Very stoic feeling, but so much in a contemplative way in the mind, just clear on what I want, and a higher inclination to act, rather then think about it. Excited about this point here. Typically when my motivation to achieve is really high, itās mental. Thinking about the best way to do things, fantasizing, Hero seems to guide you to just start doing the thing, and intuitively learning from there.
-
Been a bit out of sorts this week, like Iām coming down with a cold or something, and missed a couple workouts. Went to the gym today, and the strength was there for sure. Couple more reps then I could normally do, hit 105sX4 on db shoulder press.
-
Have this awareness in the back of my head surrounding cause and effect. Ex, if I take this action, what will be the result. If I think this thought, what will be the action.
-
Just a general feeling of peace. Typically the weekends role around and my mind is racing about what to do, how to spend it. Right now I really just feel like going on a nice hike with my dog and listening to TBO5R
*. Definitely have a desire to get back into Muay Thai. Slight hesitation here as every time Iāve done this in the past, I get a bit obsessive and it ends up consuming a lot of my thinking and time. Wouldnāt be a problem, but Iām 27 and have maybe a couple years of training under my belt all together, donāt really see myself pursuing this as a career path lol.

Testing the combat scripting of Musashi ZP
Just had my āpractice dayā with a friend of mine.
Him and I are both going to be competing in a āadult sports dayā tomorrow
Events are:
- Handstand Hold
- 100 meter sprint
- 400 meter race
- 1200 meter race
- Wrestling (starting from knees)
- āPush-Hand Fightingā
Push Fighting, rules explained
- Two people stand across from each other, square stance, one arm-length apart from each other. An outstretched hand should just barely be able to reach the opponent.
- The goal is to push the other person off balance, whoeverās feet moves first, loses
- This is intricate because pushing their body is not allowed, you can ONLY push their hands
- If you try and push my hands, and I just go limp, thereās no real way you can push me
- Rules: no moving your feet or else you lose, hands have to be raised (so they can be pushed) at all times, if you push someoneās hands and accidentally touch/push their body, thatās a āfoulā and the push doesnāt count.
Iām going to go in chronological order of the events that happened.
First, some SERIOUS freaking inner-circle-but-martial-arts people manifestationsā¦ I started telling him that I was going to go to a Filipino Boxing Gym that also specializes in Two-Stick Fighting (Kali.)
Him and I talked about that for a while, I joked āthe guys who teach martial arts in their basement are either the best, or the worstā and he said āyeah theyāre usually pretty bad unless you know the guy who teaches Kali in his basement but is also one of the foremost experts in the world on itā¦ luckily I know that guy.ā
Me: WHAT!??!?!?
Conversation goes on and my friend says āyeah I was training Kali and Jujutsu with him.ā
Me: āOh thatās cool, Iām not really interested in Jujitsu though.ā
Him: āNot Jujitsu, JU-JU-TSUā¦ā
Me: āWhatās that?ā
Him: āThink of it this way, Brazilian JU-JI-TSU, popular now, is 100 years old. JU-JU-TSU practioners from Japan came down to Brazil, brazilians loved the ground work, and they popularize JU-JI-TSU by getting involved in the UFC. But JU-JU-TSU is what the samurai trained. Itās standing, involves weapons, wrist locks, throws, itās for inflicting maximum damage and finishing your opponent in two concise movements.ā
At this stage Iām already thinking wtf is in this subliminal I listened to it yesterday and now Iām connected to an actual 9th Dan Black Belt + Kali aka 2-Stick-Fighting master? Come onā¦
And I had never mentioned ANY interest in Musashi or Samurai or anything to my friend.
Then comes the actual physicality, but Iāll try and be brief.
One of the competitions will be a āhandstand holdā and I donāt 100% know if itās going to be a totally static handstand, where if I move my hands, I lose, or if Iāll be allowed to move my hands freely, aka do a āhandstand walkā not a āhold.ā
If itās a walk, I might win, but if itās a hold, Iāll absolutely lose.
Except, I said āwhen I do a handstand walk Iām falling forwards and catching myselfā and then I thoughtā¦ why donāt I just try and do that, but do it without walking?
And I went and did a handstand and did the longest handstand hold Iāve ever done in my life, first time, just from being able to conceptualize the technique better in my mind, think of a new way of doing it, and then trying it out.
For the wrestling, my friend and I didnāt do full on sparringā¦ we just explored various pulls, twists, techniques, and he was showing me some Jujutsu that could apply to starting-from-knees wrestling involving placing the hand on the opponents neck to apply pressure to the jugular and get them to the ground. How fast I was learning and applying and understanding was incredible, and I even showed him how the technique would have to change.
My inner understanding of how to move my body and how to dissect another personās body in that context was unparalleled. We spent most of our wrestling-time talking, imagining consequences, and dissecting the human bodyās fall-points, to create a strategy going into the wrestling. We made amazing progress.
Then, finally, for the push-hands-fightingā¦ thatās where the scripting really kicked in. This is the MOST similar to a swordfight of all of the events. Two men, facing each other down, no running away, no tricks, just an understanding that itās a fight to the death (elimination) and that itās impossible to eliminate your opponent without attacking, therefore also putting yourself at risk of elimination.
Dokkodo #17: I spurned not Death, in practicing The Way
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Miyamoto Musashi- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Then I laughed, in the middle of practicing, because a quote from my Musashi book came rushing to my head after we had spent a good ten minutes testing whether it was better to stand with our feet pointed directly at the opponent, or ever so slightly angled outwards
1000 days of training to forge
10,000 days of training to refine
But a duel is decided in an instant
And thatās exactly what it felt like. Spending over 2 hours contemplating what tiny tiny adjustments of the body we could make, knowing that if we could just be a bit more prepared than the opponent, we would win in a split second.
My understanding of the physicality stayed strong, and when we got to the sparring him and I did together (push-fighting is essentially no-contact, so totally safe), I was completely outclassing him even though heās done this many many times and I was basically figuring it out as I went along.
I was actually remembering something Musashi related, not sure if in the sales copy or the book, regarding āif you can stop your opponent from attacking, youāve already won.ā And I created some really effective strategies in that regard that always gave me the advantage, and if you tried to counter the advantage, you would immediately loseā¦ in order to counter it, youād have to know Iām going to do it before I do itā¦ this is what Iām referring to when I say all that work and strategy, just to win a duel that would be over in a split second.

Holy shit thatās great!
After a loop of 5 minutes yesterday :
- Few minutes after the loop ended I started to cry, I could not control myself and I did know why !
- Then a big calm came, a deep calm with a surge of confidence
- It stayed the whole day
- But late night, I had an health emergency. For 2 days I had something going wrong in my internal cheeks. But yesterday night it increased in volume and started to āmoveā. So I jumped in a taxi for the hospital. During the whole trip I felt still, calm, resilient. I knew it would be benign but I wanted to be sure ā¦ My wife was the one super nervous and she asked me how I do to be so composed. I told her āsecret ! I will tell you later
ā. Then what happened was a strange feeling in the emergency area. They took my blood pressure, and ā¦ my blood pressure was so high ! @SaintSovereign how can it be that I had strong feelings of calm and composure and at the same time super high blood ? I thought it canāt be. My wife was laughing at me when she saw that and told me :ā maybe your secret is that you know well how to hide your feelings :-)ā - After this disturbing feeling, I went back to this resilient status and during 6 hours I chatted with the staff of the emergency department. One of them was into kali (martial arts of sticks practiced in the Philippines, one of you mentioned it also in this thread, it is funny) and was explaining with passion this martial arts
So lets see for a second loop today !

Ran 5 minutes of HO this morning and have felt a really amazing internal strength all day. Its hard to articulate. I felt like a master warrior today. Like I have been a master warrior. Steadfast, strong, and serene. I had three different women that I have been working for tell me how grateful they were for me today. That they felt so lucky that they got me to do the work they needed done. Three different women (two older and one attractive younger). I wonder if HO has any positive aura scripting.
Just from one run of it have I felt rock solid. Not that I wasnāt feeling this way before HO, but this just massively amplified it. Like it brings out the best in you. There wasnāt even a thought today of being lazy or NOT getting shit done. Like āif I am here action is going to be taken and the task accomplished.ā
Just bad ass. I LOVE it.

This sub has elements of Survival instinct X
Survival Instinct had some healing elements I believe.
This sub also seems to optimize strength and athleticism.
Will is improve healing indirectly or directly for acute / and/or longstanding/ chronic issues?
Would it help more or less than LOTS? I know LOTS has healing for organs, muscles, and tendons.
