Nice Aloha, keep up the grind. Yeah you still have some work to do, but you’re noticeably improving and I suspect it will come off even quicker now that you’re getting the diet in check. Has this experience and getting the monkey off your back changed your Oneitis issues or do you think you had that fixed before getting out there?

Good job on getting the diet on track. Not an evangelist, but 18:6 IF has been a consistently useful diet protocol for me for a long time. You can definitely gain muscle and continue to lose fat from where you are once the Iron Temple opens back up. In the meantime keep your protein high doing what you’re doing and you should come out of this significantly leaner without any major hit to lean mass.

I started to grow my beard and the wife doesn’t like it. Same here, with the same types of reactions. Funny stuff.

Well, you do a great job of it. And at least this internet retard gets a lot out of it, even if the OP doesn’t. This was partly talking about you, but I was really struck after falling into an old thread reading-vortex of comments by u/jacktenofhearts after u/blarg_risen commented on mine and another OYS last week with a link of his. Dude wrote chapter-long responses with apt and creative analogies and the OP would up and delete the original comment.

Doing this kid a great service. I know a lot of people are probably thinking “man, I wish I had a Mr. Horns there for me when I was 16.” I say that because its the first thing that jumps into my head reading this. The difference is that this kid is willing to put in the work and is assertive enough to ask some dude who knows what he’s doing for help. Both things that I never would have done at that age, and most of you probably wouldn’t have done either.

Well I would guess you’re a bit lower based on height/weight/lifts but who knows. I’d get a measuring tape and check. Either way, you admit yourself that your diet has been shit and you’re not focusing on it. Shouldn’t take much effort to dial in. And you should have room to cut while gaining strength right now or least maintain. May be your programming.

Well, paying attention to actions and not words, I guess I’m doing something, just not sure what. She says this stuff when I don’t react to the outbursts, but she’s in a great mood 95% of the time. Not doing anything deliberately, I’ve just been staying happy and positive and keeping things lighthearted.

Prioritizing the mental energy You still have about 10% bodyfat to lose. I can’t speak to how much energy your other shit consumes, but bringing this down and fixing your diet will start a virtuous cycle in all areas you’re struggling with.

You should track your lifts - just not those. There’s literally no reason to do those lifts for a 1RM.

My interpretation of this is that, once you’ve developed and truly internalized OI and abundance, you can offer your wife an overt contract rather than a covert one to fulfill your needs in exchange for your time, attention, whatever. And if you are a high value man who has built attraction, your wife is almost certain to agree. And it’s not using words to negotiate attraction, as the attraction exists, your communication just removes any ambiguity as to what those needs may be. If that’s the ca…

But as a first step towards recovering, I made a draft of my own stay/go plan for the next few years Sounds like a blessing in disguise that she pushed back. Mapping out your own plan for your next five years seems much more important right now than your “next five years together” which at this point is far from guaranteed.

Thanks - but looking at your posts, is it you or me who doesn’t know what OYS is for?

I don’t know how long you’ve been at the BJJ, but, at least at any of the places I’ve been, you’re eventually going to roll with a female if you keep at it. Unless you don’t want to do it for your own reasons you may need to reset expectations with the wife. Or STFU.

Fuck dude. You’ll definitely want a belt. I DL barefoot but use squat shoes. If you get shoes with raised heels don’t use on DLs. I’d skip wraps unless you have any specific structural concerns or are looking to compete.

On my heavy set of deads it’s critical for grip (in conjunction with switch grip). I also use for my heavy bench for a little extra grip stability.

Also chalk. Look for “secret stuff” chalk on Amazon if your gym has an issue with normal chalk.

It probably has crept up here and there, but thus far I think sex it where it’s most apparent. Joining the Army probably crushed a lot of the other shit...but also made me really good at following orders. Good in a military/paramilitary context, bad in a marriage. But god knows where I’d be right now without that experience. Honestly I think I have overall good self-esteem other than my general validation-seeking behavior that I’ll probably get into next week.

Shit Owning #3 (formatting edit) Age: 37 H/W/BF: 5’10”, 205lb (-1), ~19% BF (Navy Method) Lifts: SQ: 346X3X2 (+4 lbs, -2 reps, +1 Set); DL: 379X5X1 (+4lbs); Bench: 260X5X1 (no change). Moved to Phase II in Texas Method for squats at end of last week; probably should have done so sooner after re-reading the intermediate chapter of Practical Programming but I had only been bumping weight up 1kg each week instead of 5lbs so progress has been more gradual. Will switch to 2 sets of 3 for other lifts …

Almost the same exact story for me. Not fully internalizing it just helped me treat the symptoms without fully diagnosing the disease.

An area for potential introspection that helped me: you had initial posts here almost 4 years ago. What went wrong that you made basically no progress? Lack of OYS or something else?

Even though you’re pretty fat, I’m impressed that you can throw up 100kg on the bench and a 150kg DL without being on any program or having the gym as “part of your identity”. You have some strength from something in your background to work with (or you’re full of shit).

Not sure how much experience you have cutting and bulking, but you can probably cut to at least 12% BF before noticing any negative impacts other than potential lift stagnation which should be mitigated if you keep protein high. Then you can clean bulk up to ~15%. Rinse, repeat. This link has been a useful resource for me.

I would binge NMMNG now and then re-read it soon and work through the exercises. I also lurked and half-assed it a while ago and somehow missed the fact that the book was literally about me.

Thanks. I’m a little unclear on what specifically you’re referring to in “doesn’t count” but I think your bottom line is that I need to OMS moving forward. I agree. Regarding the pregnancy thing - don’t necessarily disagree based on all the general experiences I’ve seen, but I’m curious what makes you specifically mention it in my situation. This has been a major area of introspection for me in terms of my wanting children or not.
