You could have saved everyone a lot of time if you had followed your own advice to Blarg and opened with this: “This is a long way of saying ‘to get results different from what you’ve always got, you’ve gotta do things you’ve never done,’ but the nuance would help me, so maybe it’ll help you.” I wonder if this post could have been written without you referencing several times your elite athleticism and other golden boy victories? Why did it take you until mile 84 to realize your ego was a toxic …

I know I should be doing this for myself, I want to do this for myself, sometimes I truly am, but then I catch myself in the "is she worth it" loop and I know I'm not as far along as I'd like to believe. It's a weakness that I have identified. You are a man who needs to act like a man. You need to start getting yourself under control. When that day comes the rest is going to just fall in place. This hit home for me, thanks for sharing.

I have plenty of "friends", several made in the last few months. Many of these relationships feel superficial, though some are developing into real lasting friendships. I moved to a new city 2 years ago, and my social network was reset at that point. I have a few close friends I've kept throughout the years who are scattered across the globe. Your point about going out in the world "by myself" is very interesting. I work from home mostly. I feel that I don't have a good reflex around going out a…

I won’t be de-loading from this. I’ll be de-loading in 3 more weeks, when I’ll be closer to my previous max lifts (205lb SQ, 255lb DL, 150lb bench, 110lb OHP, 165lb BBRow). So far I’ve considered the strategies of “don’t be a betch”, and “just lift heavy”, and also “stop sucking”, but I haven’t made much progress there.

I took 4 weeks off from lifting to focus on training for a half marathon. The run was amazing, I learned a lot about my limits. Now my lifts are trash. This isn’t the first time I’ve regretted stepping away from the gym, I want it to be the last time. I’m realizing that this isn’t isolated to my fitness, it’s about being consistent in all parts of my life. Showing up for what matters even when priorities shift. Keeping strength and endurance in balance.

I'm no MRP master, but: See, up until now, I thought my job was to be able to provide money, security, masculine skills and leadership, be physically attractive and be good in the bedroom. And that would equal her enthusiastically giving me the dirty nasty submissive sex I want, anytime. You laid out your own covert contract so clearly it made me laugh out loud. Can you really be this retarded? Chances are, you're lying to yourself (and us) about all that bullshit you wrote.

Fostering dread in your wife for the sole purpose of sex is, in fact, a covert contract. If, on the other hand, you work on yourself, own your shit, and be attractive for no other reason than investing in yourself, and that has the side-effect of fostering dread in your wife and leading to more sex, then that is not a covert contract. A higher value man will garner more sexual interest. The point of divorcing your wife in your head is to take her out of the equation. You're more likely to invest…

Glad to see you've started tracking calories, now you can start to identify all the lies you tell yourself regarding your diet. In reality, if you were truly eating 2164 kcal/day at 6'1", you'd be losing fucktons of weight, so there's still a lot of bullshit you're telling yourself. Also glad to see you're caring about your sleep. What helped you in getting to 7 hours? What went wrong on the 4 hour nights?

Losing weight is simple, it's just not easy. Stop overcomplicating it. Stop sabotaging yourself. There are 3500 calories in 1 lb of fat. If you lost 2 lb, that's 7000 calories. If your TDEE is 2000, and you ate 800 calories a day, that means you had a 7000 calorie deficit, which means you would lose 2lb. The math checks out. Now do that for 1 year and you will have lost 100 lb.

I think it's a valid question. Is your wife the one bringing up counselling or is it you? Everybody here assumes your wife is forcing you to go. If she is, treat it as a gift. Go and practice STFU. If it's you trying to force your wife to go, I think it's not likely to yield results. Blue pilled me tried that and it's just a waste of money. You're the authority, no need to appeal to a counsellor for that.

Whenever your woman says “x” imagine instead that she said “I feel ‘x’ right now”. Women often communicate in feelings (which are temporary) whereas men communicate in logical assertions (which are unchanging). You’re literally speaking a different language. When she says “You never help me with the kids!” (or whatever she’s bitching about), she’s really saying “I feel like you never help me with the kids, right now”. The first sentence can be logically refuted: “I did x, y, z for the kids just …

Did you try listening to her and seeing if she had a point? Maybe there actually is some shit you can own better. Treat it like an opportunity and not like a burden. The small thing really pissed me off and I felt like a confrontation about the whole mood swings and depressive thoughts was the only way to disperse of how I felt. But it appears to have achieved nothing. There's no point in confronting these things with logic. Women's hamsters eat logic and shit out more hamsters.

Not even close to enough sleep. You need to be getting 7 or 8 hours every night, consistently. For lifting gains and for fat loss. You need to take it seriously or you’re hamstringing yourself.

Every time I think I’m going to fail during squats, I get a burst of energy to finish, no matter how much I want to drop it. Very insightful. This is probably true everywhere in your life. I’ve started intermittent fasting, which has been effecting my glucose levels but not my overall health. This shit takes time and you won't see any difference if you just skipped breakfast for a day or whatever. Make sure you're eating enough protein and sleeping a lot if you're planning to take IF seriously.

Why didn't you tell her about the car accident? Where you scared? Why are you cutting? 156lb seems pretty low. What's your health goal?

OYS 6 37M, 6'0", 178.3lb (7-day average) Weight: 3-day: +0.6lb, 7-day: +1.2lb, 14-day: +0.4lb, 30-day: -1.3lb, 90-day: -6.0lb I've ended my cut phase and now I'm entering a maintenance phase that will last until January. My goals here are body recomposition to lose more fat while gaining muscle. I realized that my calorie deficit was probably hindering my lifting and recovery, so I'll be eating at maintenance and continue training for a few months to see if that improves things. Lifts: Squat 5x5…

Get after it homie. I could summarize your response as: I've been fucking around and now I'm going to get past it. Now it's time to OYS and make good on that.

I'm no expert, but your lifts seem weak after 33 weeks at this. We are about the same height/weight and I'm squatting heavier than you already. What's holding you back?

If you come here and dump all this crap, expect to get roasted. Next time, write your feelings down in your journal and come here and post the condensed version. Stop defending yourself and start owning your shit.

I'm still working on the basics, so take this with a grain of salt, but: You talk a lot about your GF and how she makes you feel (jealous, happy, validated, etc.). It might be best to focus on yourself and stay firmly in your own frame.

I can’t find the post you mentioned or any user named becomingabetterman — if you have a link to it could you share it?

This is just classic oneitis, no? There are so many other women out there, ones without baggage like a child you don't want, or trying to manipulate you by bringing up the past. If you didn't want to get married and have kids, that's that. Misaligned goals in life. I know your feelings are hurt and you feel rejected, but you are objectively a high value man. You said it yourself. You make lots of money, lift, look good, have ambition. Let yourself feel shitty for a bit. Then get out there and se…

I understand the concept; it's the basis for "lift" being step one. Help me understand where I'm failing here. Is it because I'm cutting and not bulking? Because I puked out my fee fees instead of STFU?

Thanks for the insight! Truthfully, I did not push to failure before deloading. My fear held me back instead of my true limit.

I fasted 2 days last week (18hrs each), which helped accelerate my fat loss. It's amazing how much food you have to not eat in order to lose fat. Lifts Squat 150lb, OHP 100lb, Deadlift 185lb, Bench press 120lb, BB row 120lb Lifts were stagnant this week, other than OHP. I de-loaded last week as I felt that I was struggling too much, and fail…

Calorie counting every day consistently, but I'm still going over my calorie budget which is leading to slower progress than my target. I need to restart IF to ensure caloric adherence. Lifts Squat 155lb, OHP 95lb, Deadlift 185lb, Bench press 120lb, BB row 120lb Lifts are still weak, as I am still a beginner. Making steady progress increasing the weight. I de-load…

Good questions, thanks. Lifts are weak as I’m new to lifting. I’m following the StrongLifts program since I don’t know wtf I’m doing at all. Still working out why I got fired but my sense is that I was inconsistent and unreliable with my work output, coupled with negative and critical towards my co-founders. They gave me this feedback months ago and I clearly didnt do enough to fix the problem. I’m fat and weak and not assertive, not leading the family, spending way too much time around the hous…

First OYS and first post. Coming up on 40 years old. Fired yesterday from the company I founded. Wife throws me pity sex every week or two. I’m a drunk captain below deck with no idea what’s going on. Even though this feels like rock bottom, there’s still plenty more to lose if I can’t fix my shit. I suck. Squat: 130lb OHP: 100lb Deadlift: 145lb BB row: 110lb Bench: 110lb Estimated bf 20% but that’s just a guess. My plan is to keep lifting. Figure out my career next steps before the end of this …
