💉 Should I take STEROIDS? 👀🧪🧪🧪 Read and share your opinion, please. • • Even though I‘ve been accused for using steroids as early as 2013, I never used steroids or other illegal substances and can to this day say that I‘m a lifetime-natural athlete. ☘️ • • ✅ Most of you will say that being natural is something to be proud of, for I am HEALTHY & taking the long, hard road of building muscle and strength. For I experience a MENTAL struggle that steroid-users don‘t know. They workout and get rewarded - from week to week they grow! I DON’T! I fight damn hard, for a damn little reward. I am one of the rare breed fighting this battle for so many years. And I agree: I AM PROUD.🔱 • • ✅ Thinking back to 2010, when I was just an insecure, flabby 16y/o who was air to most girls, I could have never imagined to, one day, be the man I am today. I AM PROUD. 🔱 • • 🌀 Some say that you reach your natural limit after 5 years of seriously working out. I don’t believe this - on principle I don’t believe in limitations on „what‘s physically possible“. Since those would stop me from moving forward. Why would I work my ass off when believing that I can’t get any further? Also, I made sick gains the last years - and I‘m doing this for over 9 years now. It’s save to say that self-believe and denying limitations is key for progress. ✅ • • 💯 HOWEVER, now, when checking myself in the mirror I think: „You‘ve come so far. You are your strongest and you look your best ever! Damn! YOU ROCK! 😍 ... But compared to like ALL famous athletes on social media, you are just too fatty - too weak - too small....“ And I imagine myself after just ONE YEAR OF STEROIDS which would probably lead to an EXTRA ~10-20kg of PURE MUSCLES + LOWER BODY FAT. With my genetics I‘d look CRAZY, I tell you. 👀 • • 🔆 Now, you guys know that I am here to inspire people to think beyond their ego and to finally GO VEGAN, because DAMNED! IT‘S THE RIGHT THING TO DO + GREAT FOR EVERYONE - FOR YOU, being a normal healthy person, an athlete, being old or young AND ESPECIALLY GREAT FOR THE ANIMALS - and even for our PLANET. Would steroids help with my goal of spreading veganism? 🧐 • • ❔MAYBE. For I COULD ... [⬇️⬇️⬇️] (hier: Tübingen, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9PVsfoq_71/?igshid=10qb7x9ksp15t

🖤 MUST CROSS OUT MY FACE. ❌ The original picture is showing me smiling. Life was great when I took this picture - and absolutely isn‘t right now. ☔️ • • Can‘t really find any more words at this time. However, I must thank all of you who messaged me & sent me positivity, support, hugs. You really helped me by doing so. I’m not so alone as I used to be and it feels good. THANK YOU! 💌 • • In dark times, going hard in the gym and listening to loud music helps me a lot.

😽 So much feedback to BRIDGET! 😊 Sadly, yesterday‘s story posts where just a throwback... I have no clue if she‘s well..😶 But I sincerely hope so! • • Some of you may wonder who she is? Well ➡️ 💚😽 Cycling to my gym I must cross a bridge leading over a river. A few weeks ago, I recognized a cat sleeping on the hand rail.🙀 I was worried about her life for she could have fallen into the river easily. But since I did not want to frighten her I just walked by.🦵However, after this first meeting we met again and again. She gave me the feeling of even waiting for me to cross the bridge.👀 I call her by the Name „Bridget“ (short for „Bridge-Cat“) and whenever I meet her, I sit down and cuddle up with her.😽 I am sure that Bridget has a home. She‘s healthy and quite thick. But I feel like she’s missing love - and I do, too. Maybe that’s why she chose to jump onto my lap - when I was still a stranger to her. Thank you, Bridget!😊 • • #cat #instacat #instacats #catsofinstagram #catlovers #catlover #broccorocket #veganatural #veganathlete #veganmuscle #plantbased #animalethics #biceps #vegan #veganmuscles #veganfood #veganinspiration #animal #animalliberation #ethics #changethegame #gamechangers #teamgamechangers #animalethics #moral #morality (hier: Tübingen, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8WpXkVKMPL/?igshid=1g3w6elhkh0no

🔞 „VEGANS CAN’T BUILD MUSCLE“❌ said no scientific paper EVER. 🥔184cm.🍌 96kg.🥦 Why vegan? Ethics, Science, Compassion.

🕊 According to Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) there are three fundamental motives in human life: „Egoism, Malice and Compassion.“ 💡 But what did he say about animals? • • 💚 „Compassion for animals is intimately connected with goodness of character, and it may be confidently asserted that he who is cruel to animals cannot be a good man.“ • • 🧠 Schopenhauer argues that MORALITY is based on COMPASSION, t.i. „„the immediate participation, independent of all ulterior considerations, primarily in the suffering of another, and thus in the prevention or elimination of it (...) Only insofar as an action has sprung from compassion does it have moral value; and every action resulting from any other motives has none.“ Compassion is not egoistic because the compassionate person does not feel different from the suffering person or animal that is seen. Even though the sufferer is experienced as an external being, „I nevertheless feel it with him, feel it as my own, and not within me, but in another person… But this presupposes that to a certain extent I have identified myself with the other man, and in consequence the barrier between the ego and the non–ego is for the moment abolished.“ Schopenhauer thus considered that „compassion, as the sole non–egoistic motive, is also the only genuinely moral one"“ (monsalvat.no/mitleid.htm). • • 📙 In his work „On the Basis of Morality“ Schopenhauer reminds us that „goodness of heart consists of a deeply felt, all-embracing Compassion for everything that has breath.“ • • 🗣 I WISH THAT COMPASSION MAY BE YOUR MOTIVATION to act (differently?). To do so, is needed now more than ever since humanity is at its peak of destruction. Some time is left - Let‘s use this chance to make a change to the GOOD. • • Compassion is only „for the weak“?! 🤔 WRONG! The highest STRENGTH is expressed in TREATING THOSE WITH RESPECT WHO ARE AT OUR MERCY. 🐶🐷🐮🦊🐒🐔🦆🐢🐋... • • #compassion #compassionforanimals #vlourish #Schopenhauer #ethicsofcompassion #animalethics #ethics #moral #morality #freedom #peace #moralvalue #character #selfgrowth #selfdevelopment (hier: Tübingen, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8EmCrgI2VJ/?igshid=fjf60q3zd933

🌱 My VEGAN tattoo is so important! 😊 For it adds an EXTRA DIMENSION to my body. 💠 Now, when visible, my body isn‘t recognized as „developed in a certain way X“ but as „X and VEGAN“. • • It’s important that people realize that veganism is NOT a disadvantage when striving for health or muscles or strength. 🔥🥦Veganism is great for it all. Just watch „THE GAME CHANGERS“.😊👍⚠️ • • And, EVEN MORE IMPORTANT, it is the consequent way of rejecting an exploiting system that brings unbelievable amounts of suffering and injustice into our world. ‼️Don‘t support cruelty. ❇️Be better. ✳️BE KIND to everyone who feels. Be it a human, a dog, a cat, a pig, a chicken, a horse, a bird or any other sentient being.🌐👵🐶🐱🐷🐔🐴🦅🐳🐬🐋🦑🦍🦒🐘🐑🐄🐂🐏🦌...

✅ IMPROVE YOUR DEADLIFT WITH ME!🔥🥦 COMMUNITY CHALLENGE📈 • • Recently, I hurt my lower back trying to deadlift 260kg when I was sore. This was amazingly dumb. I know that🙈 • • HOWEVER, this fail made me, once more, aware of my greatest weakness: the LOCKOUT. While my technique was „good“ meaning „healthy“ it was not „good“ meaning „technically optimal“. As I proofed: Without optimal technique you can still deadlift 250kg (and probably more) without hurting yourself - but you will have a damn hard time at the lockout. AVOID THAT. • • THEREFORE, I am now retraining the movement pattern - which takes some time and is annoying - because I want to move big weights and am not allowed to do that in this process.🙈 • • 🔥 So HOW 2 DEADLIFT?? Remember biomechanics affect some of the following but in general your deadlift is perfect when: • • 🥦 Position: Stance shoulder-width, bar over the mid of your feet. Feet slightly outward. Grip: Close to your shins. • 🥦 BREATHING When positioned, legs still straightened, take a belly breath and flex your abs to the max. #eminem2 • 🥦 Get the slack out! After breathing you lower your hips and lift up your chest and head to flex your upper back and thereby pull the slack out of the bar. • 🥦 Bend the bar! Then „bend“ the bar at your shins to activate your lats, further stabilizing your back. • 🥦 The actual lift is easy, now. Just push your legs into the ground (while statically holding your back as tight as possible). Don’t overextend! Done. • • 📈 YOU ARE INVITED to make a story of you deadlifting ANY weight but with my TECHNIQUE CUES APPLIED. Tag me, use the hashtag #WeVLOURISH and I will repost!😊✌️ Anyone up for it? • • #deadlift #deadliftguide #howtodeadlift #how2deadlift #perfectdeadlift #vegan #vegansofig #veganpower #veganmuscle #deadlifttechnique #properform #deadliftform (hier: McFit Tübingen) https://www.instagram.com/p/B71TwFlIcjy/?igshid=ecnsdukbtp7h

👁 LOOK INSIDE! YOU MY FRIEND ARE FIRE! 🔥 🔥 🔥 • • These days are not easy for me.. Maybe you have a not-so-good time right now, too. Or maybe you feel good. Your life is peaceful and you have what YOU WANTED - but what about the things behind your ego? 👀🧠 • • Clearly! In both cases YOU’RE NOT BURNING! 🔥 You‘re just smouldering - a small source of light & warmth. • • YOU CAN BE MUCH MORE. IN fact, I think that YOU, ME, EVERYBODY should be BURNING BRIGHT! 🌞 • • When striving for fulfillment, money, muscles, good grades, BETTERING THE WORLD or really ANY GOAL: You know what’s separating the SUCCESSFULL from the others? FIRE! 🔥 THEIR WILL TO SUCCEED AGAINST ALL ODDS. THEIR MENTALITY OF PUSHING FORWARD - NO MATTER WHAT. THEIR MINDSET OF REACHING TOWARDS THE END OF ALL UNIVERSES. • • I TRY to do this. I try to burn bright. I try to bring good into our world. At the end of the day I want to be a good human - and I want you folks to TRY THAT, TOO. • • 👁 LOOK INSIDE! YOU MY FRIEND ARE FIRE! 🔥 🔥 🔥 SET GOALS IN THE STARS AND GET ‘EM! YOU CAN! 🌟 • • #VLOURISH #vegan #vegano #vegansofig #veganmindset #winner #successfull #selfgrowth #selfdevelopment #growthmindset #mindshift #inspiredaction #healthymindset #healthyminds #selfawareness #personalgrowth #selfconfidence #selfconfident #selfimprovement #confidenceiskey #strongmindset #selfmotivation (hier: Berlin, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7l1S_eInyl/?igshid=16o629cddwckm

🧠 WHAT ARE YOU? What am I? • • It‘s save to say that I‘m a conscious living being interacting with the world around me. Parts of myself are traveling the world - are thereby interacting with the world and changing. • • As visualized one could say that I and you consist of „squares of identity“. One square might be „I’m a compassionate person“. Another one might be „I’m an athlete“. • • None of those squares are static but in constant interaction with the world and thereby object to change - to growth - to development; AND THAT‘S JUST GOOD! 💪 • • Let’s realize our POTENTIAL! I wish that we all #VLOURISH - develop our very own strengths and have a life of personal fulfillment. It’s so important! 💚 • • However, we shouldn’t limit our view onto ourselves. Simultaneously we ought to look behind our EGO and CARE FOR THE WORLD. For there is so much bad in this world and you can make a change to the GOOD! • • Our world would be so much brighter if more people cared for the living world - for all the beings that can suffer like us. For all the animals.🌱🐷 Please consider doing just that.🤗 • • #identity #growth #personalgrowth #philosopy #selfgrowth #selfdevelopment #growthmindset #mindshift #inspiredaction #healthyminds #healthymindset #selfawareness #personalgrowth #selfconfidence #selfconfident #confidenceiskey #strongmindset #selfmotivation #lifecoach #selflovecoach #lifecoachlife #lifecoaching #holisticlifecoach #lifetransformation (hier: Berlin, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7gwovko5Np/?igshid=83om67dzkzm9

⏳ LIFE FLOWS.... TO DEATH. NO PAUSE POSSIBLE. 🧭☠️ • • Years ago, I realized just that & with it, how PRECIOUS✨ LIFE is. In a fundamental way death adds value to life. Death defines life. Especially, when the affected life is conscious, t.i. when the affected life is able to realize and reflect on its mortality. 🧠🗣 • • Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) did that and realized:“ All of the days go towards death and the last one arrives there.“ • • BUT SHOULD WE BE DEPRESSED? SAD? ANGRY? No. ☀️ We should accept death as it is: A necessity of life. An event that should not worry us. FOR, where there >is< life there >is< no death. Where there >is< death there >is< no life. • • Montaigne suggests to live a death-conscious life. „To practice death is to practice freedom. A man who has learned to die has unlearned how to be a slave.“ BECAUSE what could possibly enslave us, limit our freedom IF WE DON‘T FEAR THE LOSS OF OUR LIFE? Nothing. 🤗💚 • • Therefore: Let‘s not waste energy on worrying about death. Let‘s accept its function and approaching and live free. 🕊🕊🕊 • • #freedom #montaigne #death #philosopy #selfgrowth #selfdevelopment #growthmindset #mindshift #inspiredaction #healthyminds #healthymindset #selfawareness #personalgrowth #selfconfidence #selfconfident #confidenceiskey #strongmindset #selfmotivation #lifecoach #selflovecoach #lifecoachlife #lifecoaching #holisticlifecoach #lifetransformation (hier: Tübingen, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7G4TE2KS4j/?igshid=1mqk87wmn2l9u

[danvlourish]

WELCOME! 😊🌱 My name is Daniel. I'm a student of #philosophy, veganatural strength athlete, student assistant, wrecker, declutterer, crime scene cleaner and content creator. I want to spread #veganism, inspire, motivate & help you and speak up for all animals.

Why? 👀 I'm an (animal) #ethicist at heart. Knowing that the actual human-animal-relation is a catastrophe I want to better the world for non-human #animals. 🐷

However, since ethical argumentation is not very effective in changing people's views on the other animals, I decided to go for a pragmatic and unique approach of ethics: Namely, demonstrating #vegan muscles and strength on the internet, while also sharpening people's ethical #thinking. In short: I am the World's Strongest Ethicist. 🌱💯

As a matter of fact, people come up with the strangest arguments when talking about ethics but no one denies an impressive vegan-built physique or a vegan lifting 300kg off the ground. It's coherent. 💪

Also, since going vegan my motivation to give my all in the gym, to grow, to get stronger is fueled by the hope that my achievements may cause a positive impact for all those sentient beings out there who are abused and killed for no good reason. THIS INJUSTICE & SUFFERING MUST END.❌

We are many and we are growing. One day, #PEACE will be on earth. Join the greatest social justice movement of our times. Join veganism & #VLOURISH. 🌱🌿🌳✨
