| 1 | I feel like a dancing monkeyI think a big part of you head confusion is that you don't have clearly defined goals and actions towards achieving them. This is it. I focus on the micro, next steps, rather than defining the big picture and the path to it. That keeps me warring in my head about what I should do next to get to this nebulous idea of satisfaction. | /r/askMRP | 02/11/20 04:38 PM |
| 1 | I feel like a dancing monkeyThanks for the brutal honesty. | /r/askMRP | 01/11/20 09:16 PM |
| 0 | I feel like a dancing monkeyBy moving the bar repeatedly every other day. I'm not that concerned with what the scale tells me. The bar tells the unabashed truth, right? And I did push my BP to 120# today. And I'll push it to 125# on Sunday. Rinse and repeat. This is a stupid fucking argument. | /r/askMRP | 30/10/20 06:51 PM |
| 0 | I feel like a dancing monkeyIt's from a scale, and I know they aren't super accurate. I have lost 5% BF since I started making an effort. It's totally possible that I was a 30% fat fuck when it read 25% in the beginning. I'm not where I want to be yet, but lifting and moving a lot (35-40 miles/week) is getting me there. | /r/askMRP | 30/10/20 03:11 PM |
| 1 | I feel like a dancing monkeyThe downside is that you have to work for it. That's what separates strong men from the 90%, and I've enjoyed the work so far. I'll be there soon enough. | /r/askMRP | 30/10/20 11:28 AM |
| 1 | I feel like a dancing monkeyVery helpful - thanks. I woke up today in a much better mindset. Sleep deprivation apparently turns me into a massive pussy. | /r/askMRP | 30/10/20 11:25 AM |
| 1 | I feel like a dancing monkeyThese aren't max lifts. This is where I'm at with SL. Thanks for the opinion though. Edit: A bit of ego protection. SL isn't the only lifting I've done, but I am a novice lifter, so I started at the bottom to focus on getting it right. My 5x5 BP was 115# two days ago, and I'm pushing it to 120# today. If I should post my 1RMs instead of what I'm working with, I'll do that instead. | /r/askMRP | 30/10/20 09:56 AM |
| 2 | I feel like a dancing monkeyIf I land a kiss poorly, we laugh a little and try again. Sex is clearly still on a pedestal for me and I take it wayyy too seriously. Thank you for shining a light on that. I am way too far into my own head - been that way as an insecure Nice Guy my entire life. I am also breaking free from codependency which is why I think I'm so badly in her head (and probably has everything to do with the specific gripes I listed). I'll re-read NMMNG after I finish MAP. I appreciate your response MITW. | /r/askMRP | 30/10/20 01:26 AM |
| 1 | I feel like a dancing monkeyNot the entire goal, but it was my eventual yardstick as you said. Acknowledged - good call out. | /r/askMRP | 30/10/20 12:09 AM |
| 2 | I feel like a dancing monkeyThanks. I'm in the gym. | /r/askMRP | 29/10/20 11:59 PM |
| 1 | I feel like a dancing monkeyFocus on you. Not her, not her friends, not even the sex, because you're still too weak and unattractive to expect gains there. You're right - which is why I'm questioning the authenticity. I do need to stop and just focus on me. What are you doing to take care of yourself, build strength and self-respect? I built a home gym and started StrongLifts from the bottom. Most of my numbers are low, and they're easy lifts. I cut out the double rest day to speed up the progression. I've lost 22# since t… | /r/askMRP | 29/10/20 11:55 PM |
| 1 | I feel like a dancing monkeyIt's like you've moved from your wife's to MRP's frame, but still not your own. I think you hit the nail on the head here. I've caught myself wondering how honest my OYS posts have been. What am I not including? Am I just looking for validation? Thanks for that. I am absolutely an analytical person, and have always been in my head a lot. I think you need to do what makes you feel good, given you can accept the consequences. That's what's congruent at this point. Perfect. Thank you. | /r/askMRP | 29/10/20 10:33 PM |
| 1 | I feel like a dancing monkeyI started this process with no sex, ready to nuke, and felt like I was fairly OI. Then the relationship started to feel like it was getting better, and I didn't plan for what happens next. I'm slipping. | /r/askMRP | 29/10/20 10:12 PM |
| 6 | Physical abuseHave you told her what the consequences will be if she does that again? It doesn't look like you've established a boundary and enforced it. I'd kick my wife out immediately if she hit me. | /r/askMRP | 14/10/20 12:57 PM |
