OYS 12 STATS Basics Age: 40 | Married 12 years | no kids 5'10 | 195 lbs Lifts / Cardio Light weights this week -- squats, cleans, bench, rows, etc. Getting back into things after a week and a half off. REVIEW A few weeks ago, I wanted out. I wasn't happy with my situation, and I told my wife she was holding me back. I needed to go it alone to get my head right and figure things out. This was a familiar script, one that has been on repeat ever since 2019 or so, and one that has been getting more …

OYS 12 STATS Basics Age: 40 | Married 12 years | no kids 5'10 | 195 lbs Lifts / Cardio Fitness competition: Squats, bench, cumulative miles run over the course of 4 weeks, sandbag carries, etc. REVIEW I just finished up an annual fitness competition I do with some of my old college friends. The competition is a great way to reconnect and remind myself how much harder I could be working in the gym. It's also a time when I revisit many of my personal demons. I get anxious about how well I'll perfo…

Points taken. I guess I was trying to avoid excessively negative self-talk and shame oriented narratives of past events, but I can see how that could easily slip into ego preservation. Bare your heart to the world. You'll be amazed how resilient it is. I need to think about this one.

OYS 10 STATS Basics Age: 40 | Married 12 years | no kids 5'10 | 197 lbs Lifts Squat: 5x5 @ 205 Bench: 5x5 @ 185 T-Bar Row: 5x5 @ 40 Overhead press: NA Deadlift: NA Cardio 2.11 miles @ 10.08 / mile pace REVIEW Lifts It was the first day back after a 10 day holiday sabbatical so I kept it a little lighter. Will be progressing back up to my previous numbers quickly. Trying out the T-Bar row instead of the bent over row. List work Last week I put together a list of specific issues I need to address …

I've read NMMNG, WISNIFG, and MMSLP. Going to be rereading the first two and working more closely through the exercises. Have not read MAP, though my sense was that it covered most of the same ground as MMSLP? Yes, the list is long and there's a lot of repetition, but I wanted to get everything down at the same time to give me a full picture of what's going on and establish an overall baseline. I agree that subsequent OYS posts won't need this level of detail.

OYS 9 STATS Basics Age: 40 | Married 12 years | no kids 5'10 | 197 lbs Lifts Taking time off this week for the holidays and to let my body recover. REVIEW After a couple weeks off and in light of the approaching year end, I've taken a bit of a different approach with this OYS. I tried to distill my general feelings of malaise and discontent into a list of specific issues. From there, I added a list of actions I can take to address each issue. My hope is that will give me a clear map to follow an…

Hmm. 18.9% sounds high given I look pretty lean right now. I suppose I should get it tested to confirm. Maybe I am too weak given my height/weight for that calculation. At any rate, I have a lot of issues, but food / diet isn't one of them. I've been eating clean for a long time and it comes easy.

OYS 8 STATS Basics Age: 39 | Married 12 years | no kids 5'10 | 196 lbs Lifts Squat: 5x5 @ 250 Bench: 5x3 @ 215 Row: 5x5 @ 165 Overhead press: 5x5 @ 125 Deadlift: 1x5 @ 315 Cardio 2.79 miles @ 9:28 / mile pace REVIEW Career I'm on a work trip this week. It's been refreshing to get back together with colleagues in person (I work remotely now). I feel energized talking with people in my industry and people with my same interests. It's made me realize that I spend a lot of time socializing with peop…

A few things to note, however: I need to get more efficient with regard to time management, especially on the business / people front. On the coding / technical side it comes naturally. I have my tools …

Agreed. My "day job" has been consuming a lot of time over the past few months, but things seem to be stabilizing a bit and I should have time to start pushing the side projects forward.

Vaguely throwing out ideas without any structure behind them sounds like a recipe for uncertainty. Yes, this is very true. Unfortunately I don't have any concrete plans beyond what I mentioned in the "Career" section of my OYS...yet. That's why I've decided it's probably best I just shut up until I do.

I tend to dwell on my losses and downplay my wins, so this week I made a cons…

The first is an ephemeral sensation based on circumstances and the second is a decision?

I couldn't believe how spot on it was. I found a few passages especially salient: Most of the time it [the BSG] appears concerned, wanting to keep us "safe" or "dignified" or "nice". If I were to rank my c…

On Wednesday morning as I was heading to the gym, I received an alert that one the products for which I'm responsible was experiencing a database outage.

OYS 2 STATS Basics: Age: 39 | Married 12 years | no kids 5'10 | 198 lbs Lifts: Squat: 5x5 @ 240 Bench: 5x5 @ 200 Row: 5x5 @ 160 Overhead press: 5x5 @ 120 Deadlift: 5x5 @ 275 Cardio: 3 miles @ 8:35 / mile pace ​ REVIEW I started reading NMMNG again. I've read the book a few times, but I have yet to fully internalize its lessons. I was struck by how many of the "not so nice traits of Nice Guys" presented in the first few pages are still squarely applicable to me. Career This is one of my biggest s…

My wife actually wanted kids but I never had the desire. I convinced her not to have them pretty early on in our marriage. I remember the feeling of relief wash over me when she told me she was on the same page. As I've gotten older there have been times when I wonder if I made the right choice, especially as many of my peers break away from the old social activities in which we used to engage and form families. Ultimately, however, there are many other things I wanted to pursue in lieu of kids,…

OYS 1 Basics: Age: 39 | Married 12 years | no kids 5'10" 198 lbs Lifts: Squat: 5x5 @ 230 Bench: 5x5 @ 200 Row: 5x5 @ 160 Overhead press: 5x5 @ 110 Deadlift: 5x5 @ 255 Summary: I found MRP in 2019. Like most men here, I ended up on MRP because my life was seriously off track. I was working a job I didn't like, I had just spent a year and a half building a business that failed, my sex life was on the decline, my social network had atrophied due to years of neglect, and I was having major health is…
