Chest and Tris: Push-ups, Decline push-ups, Push-ups with weights on your back Biceps: Curl a chair, Curl your GF, Palm in pull-ups, Curl water gallons Back: Lift heavy shit like a trash can - Put it back down - Repeat Legs: Put heavy stuff on your back - Squat - Repeat, Pistol Squats, Split squats Winners find a way. Losers don’t. It’s that simple.

Ultimate goal is to get to a 2,000 total between B / S / D. My guess is that translates to around a 500 bench, 700 dead, and 800 squat. I'd like to do that in the 242 or 231 weight classes if possible. Right now, I'm just focused on getting 250+ g protein per day.

Here's where I'm at now though... you can say what you want now regardless of how she responds. You can make that change now. And you will be happier for it. Frame for you now is better than later. ​ Just know that a fat loser developing frame isn't nearly as 'tingle-generating' as a getting-fitter-and-taking-more-care-of-his-shit guy developing frame. Your mileage may vary.

Completed week 2 and I find myself practicing at home now. I recite the movements with perfect technique (to be best of my limited knowledge). I've also learned how to ruin someone's fucking day with a kick. Kicks are devastating, and I have long, muscular legs that can wreck havoc. It's like hitting someone with a baseball bat; I never knew I possessed this kind of power. I haven't been kicked hard yet however, I'm sure humility is on its way. Really? 2 weeks?

You mistook a youtube link for a photo and thought they all weighed the same. You think guys have just as much of a chance being 11% as 19% BF. You are stupid and not worth any more of my time.

Why does it matter how much you bench? How much $$ you make? How much you squat? How many #s you pulled last week? You don't open conversations with those. Yet they are all valuable numbers to know and post in OYS. Hell, the stickied post had to be made because guys were bullshitting their way through OYS posts without giving that info because they didn't want to be called out on it. These numbers are important bc they hold you accountable to tracking progress over time. This is not a hard conce…

Dumbest fucking comment in a long time. But... I'm bored so here we go. First, it's not a picture. It's a screenshot from the YT link I posted that Reddit automatically pulls. The video is of guys who take an advanced DEXA scan to measure BF%. Did you even read it? No, no you didn't. Your comment about guys having equal chances of being 11% or 19% if they measure at 15% implies that being 11% is just as common at 19%. Ok. Finally, calling people out on their lying shit in OYS is what we do here.…

So take this for what you want. But look at your pic that you just posted. Then look at the guy in the video at 4:44. Here's a marker to that spot. https://youtu.be/DdG3QfmjpvU?t=284 This guy had an advanced BF% test showing him at 10.8%. You said you are at 11%. Regardless of height differences, etc. you should have similar physiques. If you have less muscle than him, then you should be much leaner than him as well to offset that portion of the formula. ​ Compare his abs to yours. Compare his a…

Well... maybe I'm missing something but in your current movements, what are you doing that is providing total body stress while punishing the CNS and loading the spine? Looking at your motions, specifically the BW measures, you don't seem to do much that would make your body go "oh shit this is really stressful" which is perhaps the number one benefit of free weight squats and deads. The hormonal responses to squat and dead are significant in adding muscle / hypertrophy which is why guys who did…

BF% isn't perfect. It can vary a bit but not as much as weight or even max totals. For example, if you tell me you weigh 215, that number means very little without context. If you tell me you bench 395, that means more... unless you tell me you also weight 395 (got a guy in my gym like that who can bench close to 5 plates but is literally so fat that it's hard to tell he has muscle). ​ BF% though is somewhat universal. If you are a legitimate 12% BF, then that tells me quite a bit about you irre…

It's hard to compare leg press to squat because they are such different movements. Leg press is a stable, single plane movement with stability controlled for and the back positioned ideally. Barbell squats have little in common with that. For me and most of the guys I know, we generally can do about 2-3x as much on the leg press as with proper depth barbell squats. Also, guys as the end of the bell curve re weight are not the target of my post. You weigh 155 which is definitely at the lower end.…

Agree 100%. This is particularly applicable to guys who are skinny. They automatically assume that means they are sub-15% in BF. Maybe... but if they are weak AF, probably not. Skinny fat is a bitch!

Easily triggered. Look at the video of the guy at 6:08. He has visible abs and decent muscular definition. Not great but not terrible. He's at 16.9%. What was your point again?

Deadlifting barefoot works better for some people than wearing shoes. If you are one of those people but stuck at a gym that makes you wear shoes, get chucks. Best compromise between the flat feel of no shoes versus complying with gym rules.

I’m pointing out that your opsec is garbage and you are hurting your stated mission with your kids. Which is more important? The gear or your kids? You’ve immediately launched into a pissing contest and started slinging mud. Because someone tried to help you. Given your confessed past emotional issues, maybe you should step back a bit and reconsider. Posting selfies in the same post as confessing to gear while on the hook for DV is potato-level stupid.

You might care when you get bent over at the waist and fucked up the ass by a judicial system that is a) already biased in favor of women in DV cases and b) has a horrendous opinion of gear.

Men are conditioned socially to be independent. This occurs on an individual and a collective level. The individual is told to toughen up. The group is made fun of the minute they form. Society doesn’t want these groups so the loudest voices in society scream them down the moment any such group starts to form.

This. This is what I mean by linguistic judo. The NT is clear that women are equal to men in value and worth. The NT is also clear that women and men have different roles, functions, and responsibilities. Put another way... the NT is clear that God is triune. He is Three in One yet the three have different roles and responsibilities. Does that mean that God the Father is more important or better than the Son? Or the Son than the Spirit?

Scripture is exceptionally clear that while men and women are the same in terms of worth and as image bearers, they are also different in function, role, and responsibility. Do you disagree? If you apply linguistic judo to get around those areas in the NT, recognize that the same linguistic judo is applied by others to other areas of Scripture in manners you probably vehemently disagree with.

Stuff like frame, STFU, etc. are non negotiable. Other stuff is more context dependent. If you are getting laid like tile, are happy, and have no desire to game, then do your own life and don’t game. You do you.

Excellent post. For guys new to this, the portion about not begging is perhaps the most important. This is something you don't ask or beg for. You simply tell and then it's her choice to participate or not. If she doesn't participate, then drop it and try again at a later time. Begging / asking is the epitome of weakness and lack of frame / abundance mentality.

I read this a couple of times and I don't like this post because it's too damned simple. ​ So is "just go to the gym." So is "stop chugging sodas all day." So is "just go ask for her number already." So is "STFU when she nags." ​ Sometimes, hard problems are solved by simple solutions that just aren't fun but you do them anyway. ​ Good post.

Did you really just say "who fucking cares if your wife can control your emotions?" Damn dude. Think before you type. ​ It's important for new guys to understand this so I'll spell it out. Control of your emotions is binary. It's 1 or 0. Either you have it or you don't. If you have it, then your wife doesn't. If your wife has it, then you don't. ​ Most guys who walk in here have zero control of their emotions. They are manipulated and pushed around by their wives who use their husbands' overreac…

Dude, 100%. But the key is here that you were in control all the time and you were playing her emotions like a piano for a bit of good fun. That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about her messing with you in a negative way until you explode in anger or frustration. To me, that’s not drama. That’s just the dude being a bitch.

For me, point 2 was useful because it helped me identify the root causes of frustration or whatever emotion I had. Starfish sex pissed me off because I was letting it make me feel like less of a man. In other words, once I recognized that others’ reactions had more to do with them than me, I was able to control my responses much better.

Frame and emotions are definitely connected.

Women like emotions that make them feel good or safe (which is about the same thing). Anger at injustice ("he will protect me"). Sadness for a hurting animal ("he is so nurturing"). Raw passion for her ("he loves me and only me"). Et cetera. ​ That's not a bad thing, by the way.

Men’s testosterone levels are plummeting dramatically versus historical standards. Test is a primary driver of many things, some good and some not. However, historically attractive measures such as musculature, status, confidence, etc. are all tied significantly to test.

Maintain frame, set the example, point your woman to the squat rack, and thank yourself later. Or send her to Crossfit. Those bitches are hnnnggggg.

That's a fair point and I don't think you are wrong. The post was directed at guys who happen to want the woman they are with and have found that the more passive aspects / types of dread aren't working as well because her focus is on the little kids. If that's the case, sometimes you have to up the pressure a bit. If you don't want to, then you do you.

I talk too much. I was raised by a single mom who conditioned me to overcommunicate via what was effectively emotional manipulation. What's funny is I'm married to a woman who is pretty evenly balanced on the emotional spectrum and really isn't much into communication like that. Regardless, I'm a grown ass man and need to own my shit in this area more consistently.

Here are some general thoughts in no particular order that I would tell me if I were starting again in the gym. I'll address you specifically at the end re tennis elbow, etc. ​ Pacing It's a marathon, not a sprint. You want to be the guy who is still lifting in 15 years, not the guy who was the strongest for a couple and then busted his knee / back / neck / shoulder. Take it slow, focus on perfect form every rep of every set of every day, and don't worry too much about 'progress.' It will come. …

Change your scheme. If you have been doing 3/10 for for than 6 weeks, incremental gains are basically down to nothing. Do a mesocycle or two of 6/4 or 4/12 or one of each and then try the 3/10 again. Alternatively, for me, 20 rep squats 3x per week helped my bench more than anything. Loaded leaning dips helped too if your shoulder can stand the ROM.

For bench set up: First, pick the widest bench in the room if your gym is like mine where you have to slide a mobile bench into a squat rack to bench. 2in can be a big difference here. Girth over length but I digress. Second, warm up just a bit. I bench in the mid 3s and always start with just the bar. Focus on explosive yet controlled movements. Third, your positioning is key. It should UNCOMFORTABLE. Get under the bar and roll your shoulders back and down like you are bowing your chest up. The…

You only get angry at things that really matter to you. If you can get enraged by what she says or does, that means that she can control you with it and automatically decreases your ability to control your surroundings in her eyes. Women want a man in control.

High quality women exist, even in an RP paradigm. They are very rare, true, but so are high quality men. Marriage is trickier than ever and yes, the vast majority of the time, the man comes out the loser in the modern setup due to society as a whole, courts, etc. However, just because it works out that way most of the time doesn't mean it works out that way every time.

Two quick things though there’s about 15 that could be brought up. Think of change in a relationship like a long rope pulling a weight.

If you are gonna respond on AMRP, at least aim for reading comprehension or to be remotely helpful. I’m 5 weeks post knee surgery today. My 1RM squat 2 weeks pre surgery was 475. DL was 455. I’m still lifting legs but my prior maxes are pointless to mention now because doc has restricted squatting and DLs until mid summer and I’ll probably be starting back at 2 plates.

You can clearly see 3 plates at the start of the video and the end. You can also see it’s 3 plates at 54 seconds by looking at the light reflections on the upper right interior side. As for your 1RM, they very well could be higher. Mine aren’t great.

Are you slow? You can see how many plates it is by the reflections on the interior holes, especially around the 57 second mark. The side angle is done to check depth... which you would know if you knew anything about squatting. And if you knew anything about strength formulas, you would know they are garbage on anything over 8-10 reps. Strength doesn’t scale linearly like that.

Agree with your sentiment 100%. For me, I measure quality according to the value it provides. I wouldn't say "that's a quality jackhammer" because I don't need or ever use jackhammers. However, I do say "that's a quality olympic bar" because I use those all the time. So to me, quality is exactly a reference to "the degree to which it adds value to me on a meaningful basis."

TBP deliberately picks the worst of TRP and then implicitly makes the argument the argument that all of TRP is inherently bad. Furthermore, TBP is a perfect example of what could be coined toxic femininity... or those habits or actions typically associated with females which are usually negative. It’s a gossipy and catty clique based on cutting people down from afar without actually getting their own hands dirty. If toxic masculinity exists, then the reverse does as well and TBP is a perfect exa…

Newbies should not start on a body building routine and most lifting posts here are aimed at newbies. Newbies can get amazing hypertrophy and strength gains from the basic compound lifts and get the hormonal benefits as well. If someone has put 3-5 years under the bar and knows what they want, sure they can ditch the basic lifts and focus purely on aesthetics. Finally and perhaps most importantly, I’m convinced that a newbie learning to squat and dead properly will do wonders for his confidence …

Exactly. Society labels certain male behaviors as toxic masculinity and expressly tells young boys NOT to engage in such behaviors. However, since society is essentially gynocentric at this point, it lacks the self awareness to recognize similar issues with certain female-common behaviors.

It’s not a “decision” any more than a man “decided” if he is attracted to a woman. The easiest example is a guy at a bar who sits next to a woman. He starts chatting with her. Her perception of his creepiness level is going to be significantly (though certainly not totally) influenced by how attractive he is. That’s just basic.

metoo was not built just on legally-considered sexual harassment. Edit: here is what I mean... #metoo was built on the common and socially-shared experience of being made to feel sexually harassed. That feeling though is often predicated on the attractiveness of the man. If it is high enough then most behavior on the spectrum of sexual advances will be welcomed in most circumstances to at least some degree. If that is attraction level is low enough, then most behavior on the same spectrum will c…

Jack10 had a great post one time that addresses this. Your point is misguided because TRP doesn’t refer to assholes as much as it refers to confidence in terms of generating female desire.

Yes, there are examples of good looking dudes who are shitheads and push things way too far.

I can find the exact numbers but my weight went up a few lbs but according to the hydrostatic testing machine I have access to, I went down 2.5%. I’m still just over 15% BF and am only a year back into weightlifting after taking my 20s off. So some of this won’t be duplicated exactly by a guy running around all year at 8-9% and who has been consistent on lifting for 3+ years.

There is a difference between competence and independence. I want a woman who is competent enough to handle the shit that we decide she should handle. I do not want a woman that is so "independent" that it is a constant source of conflict as to division of labor.

What the other guy said re supplements is good. I’m also a fan of the thicker (7mm) knee sleeves. They help w compression and keeping the area warm. Finally, it sounds counterintuitive but you may need to squat deeper. Stopping your squat just above parallel puts much more strain on your knees than ass to grass due to patellar shear forces. So I would try starting lighter and going well past parallel and see how that treats your knees.

Listen to his interview on the Art of Manliness podcast. The guy’s name is Jesse Meacham. He explains the philosophy of the budget which boils down to: figure out your priorities and then give every dollar a job based on those priorities. It’s a zero sum budget but super flexible. You will screw it up a bunch at first but that’s fine... roll with it and improve.

Yeah... I'll need at least a year (probably a few more) before I'm doing 20x 405 "non-stop." These aren't "non-stop" squats. This is 'you don't rack the bar until you are done.' For me, it generally looked like "sets" of 6, 5, 3, 3, 1,1,1 with several big breaths in between the "sets." The sets were non-stop except for a re-brace breath at the top each time. I'll check out nSuns... haven't seen it before.

Before I started this, I read a bunch of articles about the 20 rep squat program. Very few mentioned doing it for other lifts and those that did seemed to say it wasn't a good idea. That much volume could be relatively harder on the shoulder / elbow joints but I'm not a doctor so I don't know. What I do know is that my upper body lifts responded well to this program just because of the hormonal changes from the 20s. Also, if you haven't, add in real dips and high volume (at least 5x10) heavy DB …

Second comment in favor of 531. It's built around the concept that slow, steady progress is fundamentally safer and more sustainable than "add 50lbs to your bench in 3.4 hours!!!1!!" type-programs.

I'm not an expert but losing weight first when starting at 149 (5'9) when you can't even squat your body weight seems backwards.

Belly fat almost always causes low T. Furthermore, be careful when you get your results back not to just take the doc's response of "within normal ranges." The range on the labs is for men age 18 to 75. Docs usually don't differentiate between where in that range you fall so you might have the T levels of an average healthy 70 year old and still be told you are "normal."

GET YOUR TESTOSTERONE CHECKED. Now that I've said that, do some fucking research as to what normal levels are for your age. The problem with a regular doctor is that they will run a blood test for you and tell you that you are "normal" even if your T is on the lowest end of the spectrum. The test results measure your T against a range that isn't divided up by age or health. In other words, you might have T levels comparable to a healthy 75 year old man and yet the doc likely won't even blink. To…

Sex is important but if she truly provides overwhelming value, then I would suggest setting a timeline, developing an action plan, and executing on it.

Compound lifts are king for generating the hormonal responses you need. As such, you need to be doing the big 4 as much as possible: Squat, Deadlift, Bench, OHP. Given your situation with your knee, I would recommend focusing on rehabbing that as soon as and as quickly as possible. Until then, do whatever you can using as many muscles per exercise as possible. With respect to machines v dumbbells, dumbbells are almost always better for the same movements. A bicep curl machine won't generate as m…

STFU is a tool. It is not the be-all-end-all of being a quality man. It has its uses but there are times when clear communication, boundaries, etc. are needed and it's hard to do that when you STFU. That being said, you seem from your comments like you are a bit of an arrogant asshole. That's ok. I'm an arrogant asshole too so I know that when you are being a dick, it's not really your fault, you just have a character defect. Ok, so it is your fault.

You have ZERO obligation to support her. You have 100% obligation to support your child. Man the fuck up and recognize that you don't owe her anything like foot rubs, time with her, rubbing her belly, affirming her, etc. You owe your child a stable home, food on the table, clothes on the back, and a father he/she can look up to and respect. Your ex is holding you at a distance and extracting all things of value from you while OVERTLY refusing to add value back. And this is when she "needs" you. …

Bench, deadlift, single leg dead lifts, overhead press, pull-ups, good mornings, GHD sit-ups, and thousands of dumbbell exercises. Quit making excuses and find a way to get it done. You will thank yourself later.

I have thought a lot about my interaction with the Mommy aspect of my relationship with my wife and have some ideas percolating around in my brain. I've got some of it written down and may post it later. The long and the short of it is that I was raised by a single mom who trained me that expressing feelings is the single most important thing in a 'healthy' relationship.

As a result of my efforts to increase T levels, I've noticed more pimples popping up on my face. Coconut oil seems to fight those very well and prevent also. I've also been using it under my eyes to combat dark circles and lines. Finally, I think it gives me a more "alive" look as long as I don't lather it on and get it greasy. Plus it is an awesome lube so it's multifunctional. ;)

4/19/17 OYS. This is all done on a A-F grading. Lifting D. I didn’t get any lifting in this past week because a) I was letting my tweaked back recover and b) I took the family on a surprise vacation to go hiking and shit for several days. No gym access at all. I did go back to the gym this morning. Diet A. Probably the best week I’ve had in years.

I'm tackling hygiene on three fronts: Smell I go to an old-school men's barbershop (for the love of all that's holy, if you go to a SuperCheapFastCuts, STOP!) and have started buying their products. I found a scent I like which is a combination of wood, whiskey, and tobacco (very smooth). I am now using the related products for shampoo, cologne, and aftershave with a non-scented underarm deodorant. Good responses thus far from people with vaginas. Clothes I had a tendency to dress sharply for wo…

My FIL is an attorney who has dabbled in this (Texas so your mileage may vary in other states) but basically his interpretation of the law and his experience was that there were more barriers to a married father being denied his children than an unmarried father. That does come with the potential for drawbacks obviously (child support, divorce rape, etc.).

I was a bartender in college. There were two types of bartenders (ok, that's quite the generalization but whatevs). There was the Boss and the Bitch. The Boss bartenders were the guys or girls who owned their shit, took pride making awesome drinks, made sure everyone was having a great time, and stayed cool / made jokes even when everything was going bonkers and we ran out of ABC liquor and XYZ beer. Everyone loved the Boss. They tended to have a bunch of regulars and made bank. The Bitch was fl…

Different people will have different answers. For me, there are two aspects: religious / spiritual and then secular. The religious component for me is that I truly believe that my wife is a support and help to me in our faith walk together. I'll leave it at that but if you want to know more, feel free to ask. The secular aspect is more quantifiable. Where I live (US of A), there are tremendous benefits to being married versus a LTR. These involve taxes, rights to your children, retirement planni…

I tweaked my back midweek (had already gotten four workouts in) so I took the rest of the week easy. Did chest yesterday. Diet A-. I’ve been substituting protein shakes for candy and it’s causing a huge improvement in my mood and energy levels.

That's a great, broad question that minds much smarter than mine have spent generations thinking about. But I'm an arrogant asshole so I'll still give it a shot. A man sees the world for what it is, changes everything in his power to the betterment of himself and his people, and then stands stoically against what he cannot change, unbowed and unbroken.

Masculinity is less about what you do and more about how you do it. There are plenty of alpha-as-fuck chefs who run a kitchen like a badass lord of hell... yet they are just 'cooking.' Keeping an orderly house, making sure the chores are caught up, etc. all of this can be as alpha or beta as you make it. Take ownership of it, do it to the best of your ability, AND DON'T LOOK FOR HER TO VALIDATE IT. The difference between alpha and beta here is whether you get your validation from "fuck yeah, I o…

What's with all the dumbbells? Dumbbells are fine for accessory work but you need to do compound movements with heavy ass barbells as the core of your program. There are several programs you can choose from. Some of the best for a beginner are: Stronglifts 5x5, 5/3/1, & Starting Strength. I'm a fan of 5/3/1 myself. If you don't have access to a squat rack / barbell set, go to a gym that does. If you have zero gyms around you, save up the cash to get a squat rack & barbell set. It is worth it. He…

"This MRP stuff" can't fix your wife. Only she can fix herself. You can't fix her. You can't fix her. You can't fix her. Your frustration right now partly stems from misplaced expectations. MRP focuses on fixing you. Once you are fixed, the rest will fall into place either with her or without her. Evidence from plenty of guys here shows that once you are fixed, she is likely to jump on board but she might not. However, if she doesn't and you are fixed, you will be in a much stronger position to …

Up vote for Extreme Ownership. It is an amazingly simple take on the 'revolutionary' idea that we are all captains of our own fates and we need to own our own shit. The TLDR would be '99% of the problems in your life are your fault - man up and fix them.' However, it's such a good book that I recommend skipping the TLDR and just reading it!

This is all done on a 1-5 scale with 1 being worst, 5 best. This is my first OYS. Lifting Four - I’ve been hitting the gym hard both on heavy lifts and HITT. Grinding away. Got 175# x2 on my Clean & Jerk and it felt pretty easy. I would guess my 1RM is 215ish. That should continue to go up. Diet Three - I’ve been eating clean, just too much. I’m not dropping #s quickly enough (2# in 3-4 weeks only) which means I need to stop being a bitch, take responsibility, and log all my food. Eating too muc…

What brought all this up? Why are you just now finding out about this guy? Have you met him? Ignore what she says about him and make your own assessment / comparison of you v him. Then base your decision on the two points of: 1) can I deliver so much to her that she 'forgets' him and 2) is she worth the effort of #1. EDIT: I don't mean "deliver so much" in a beta sense. I mean are you confident enough that your SMV is high enough and you have her craving you enough that she won't get stuck focus…

That's exactly what I did. Started off the marriage in great shape (mentally and physically) and then slowly transitioned over a decade+ to a fat beta. It's not exactly shocking that my wife would show less and less interest in me. Well, this place has been a jolt of icy water mixed with a kick to my ass. I have a LONG way to go but at least my eyes are opened a bit now.

I went to get it tested and it was very low, as in lower than the average for 60-70 yo men... I'm 32. Yikes. Doc said this was because I had put on a ton of belly weight, my diet was trashy, I was sedentary, I slept poorly, and I didn't manage my stress levels proactively.
