Ok, so I'm legitimately considering this for the next year.
I just had a court case where I narrowly avoided going to jail. I was looking at a possible 3 years which would have been a total waste of my time anyway - 1 year spent in full cocoon mode doesn't seem so bad as an alternative since I was fully prepared to lose years of my life anyway.
>Have access to plenty of gear
>Make $1,750 a week after tax and work from home
>Access to 24 hour gym literally 10 minute walk from my house
>live alone
I've been lifting for 6 years and have built a great foundation, looking to achieve 3-4 years' worth of results in this 1.
Thoughts?

>Isolate yourself so you can become better socially
Being social or whatever skill you're trying to become better at only improves through practice. You've been lifting for six years so any gains you may make isn't going to surprise people as much as you're thinking bud.
>>34963504
first let me in on how to make 1700 a week from home
>>34963548
Being social really isn't the issue. if anything, I'm too social. It pulls focus from what's important and I'd like to focus on personal development for a while and avoid all the external drama.
The gains are just a nice bonus
>>34963670
I work for a family business. My job is all permits and paperwork so it's easy and no need for office space
>>34963921
Fuck you Chad. I hope the gear kills you.
>>34963504
>falling for the cocoon mode meme
Just don't shoot up a gym when you're out.
>>34964182
Wait - what? I'm a chad because I work from home... or because I work for a family business - or both? You realise I work alone, right? Not with a ton of hot female co-workers all fawning over me?
The qualifications for a Chad have been downgraded severely if I'm one.

I still need to interact with people for work and I maintain a close working and personal relationship with my family. I can still keep in touch with friends. I just won't physically be out socialising
>>34965038
I'm doing what you're doing now without the gear.
Been doing it for about 9 months so I can grow the business and focus on gains.
I'd say you'll reach your gains goals at a cost of happiness brought from social interaction.
I started seeing my friends socially again after cocoon mode and didnt realise how much happiness I was missing out on overall. Probably not explaining it properly but by removing socialising from my life I was capping my happiness to about 70% max including that experienced from the pleasure of working out, reaching goals, reading, growing the business and making life more minimalist/simple in general.
Started seeing my friends again and it's uncapped it because I feel great from another area of my life.
What I can say is single mindedness about achieving goals does mean sacrifice and that includes how happy you feel.
Sometimes it's necessary to see the bigger picture and just get shit done.

Do roids, join the dark side.
Been cocoon mode for over 6 years friend. Going for Wizard mode. I work from home too. Only ever leave the house to buy groceries, pay bills, and see family on holidays. Even got my own home gym. I think eventually I will crack, travel to the Philippines, fuck a bunch of virgins, then have a trap in Thailand OD me on some cocaine and classic 80s music while he/she throws me over a balcony and steals my wallet.
Feels good man

Hmmmm thanks for you insight, man. I appreciate what you're saying. I socialise quite a bit so I was expecting a pretty difficult transition. I guess all I can do is try it and see. I don't plan on having zero contact or anything extreme. I don't want people thinking I'm dead or worrying unnecessarily - so some contact/availability will be required. But I'm going to, or plan on, limiting it to only what is required.
How were your gains over the 9 months? Do you regret the experience? Has it negatively impacted any of your relationships?
>>34965167
I already do, man. Been on for a couple years. I'm just looking to bump it up and add gh and slin
>>34965184
Oh fuck, dude. Is that cocoon mode or just "life" for you? You're approaching wizard status? I'm thinking cocoon mode to really focus on a couple things personal to me, it's not just gym related, I have a few personal projecs that need the attention too. But it's temporary. I would never consider living this way.
I will go into cocoon mode starting december 1st until march 4th. Three months.
Looking to shed the last body fat and getting from 16% to 12-13 or so.
>eating right
>lifting 3 times a week
>cardio 4 times a week for one hour
>trying out a low carb diet for 3 weeks
Wish me luck brehs.

9 years cocoon wizard here, that's what I told myself as well
Don't do it breh
>>34965316
How old are you now? How does this even happen? If you're a /fit/ cocoon mode surely it's not hard to create opportunity to forfeit your impending wizard status?

Well it almost is, except for that cardio shit. I really fucking hate cardio.
But after one year of lifting my body is much better so I will finally go swimming again. Was always ashamed to go because of belly/titties.
Maybe I'll keep going for a swim after the three months...
What did you do to risk going to prison?
>>34963504
I think full BBer mode is disgusting , you should just get big, shredded, and learn some new shit.
>>34966356
Assault
>>34966445
I don't know if I personally have the genetics for full bber mode. But I want to try. Even if I fail - I would have built a hell of a physique
