OYS #8: 43y, 1,76m, 72.5kg, 18%bf, ex-LTR 3 years, ex-married with 2 kids. Lifts: 88kg Bench, 156kg Dead, 136kg Squat (1RM) Rereading: NMMNGx2 Deload and refeed week. No significant changes, except that I feel rested and restored. Good base to start into the next 6 weeks cycle. Assistance still slowly gaining, main lifts mostly stalled but none regressing. u/mrpwtf busted my balls on whining. It's rare to see a community that actually reads my stuff from weeks ago to hold me accountable. Read so…

Thanks for the perspective, man. Sounds exactly like my ex chick. I can change my validation seeking, attachment and shitty patterns, but I can't and don't want to change what turns me on. And it sounds like you know what I'm talking about. Call it validation seeking if you want. So is sex itself, ultimatively. What I take from your point that it's probably possible to have what I want even from this kind of relationship (as well as others) if I'm in charge of both myself and her.

Thanks man, but I didn't have issues with hunger. I had issues with the impact of 6 weeks of serious caloric deficit on my metabolic panel.

100% spot on, and so much I understood myself. My root cause is that I learned from my narcissistic mom and unavailable dad that love is a wage, not a gift. I have a solid inventory of my deepest fears and I'm working daily to work with and lean into them. Where I'm lost is how I can overcome my taste for the struggle. I had unconditional love and security from my ex-wife already (she still does to this day) and it just bored the fuck out of me. As Groucho Marx said: "I don't want to belong to a…

Oh, absolutely did, so much is clear. I'm mainly trying to pick apart which attributes belong to the hidden contract and which ones are genuine desire and personal likes / dislikes of mine that I neither can nor want to change. I have that deep belief to be "useful" planted by my toxic parents. Her, being distant, complex, competitive, needy and demanding got me into a fucking deep validation rabbit hole. But she also kept me on my toes, was a kick-ass generous, smart and fun partner at times an…

You're confusing acute hunger suppression with chronic metabolic down-regulation. There's only so much mental sucking it up you can do if your HPA axis is crashed with low T & thyroid, elevated cortisol and non-existent NEAT. I did eat it up so far, I'm observing what works and what doesn't and I'm changing my approach to stay course.

OYS #8: 43y, 1,76m, 73kg, 19%bf, ex-LTR 3 years, ex-married with 2 kids. Lifts: 88kg Bench, 156kg Dead, 136kg Squat (1RM) Rereading: NMMNGx2 BODY My bodyfat scale was shitting me. Compared a few methods and the scale was the outlier with Navy method being somewhere in the middle, so switching to that and taking the drop from 23.5 to 19%. My cut is far from finished, but I'll take the blip of encouragement. I'm the leanest since teenage years and it's starting to show in the mirror. Lifts are sta…

OYS #7: 43y, 1,76m, 73.5kg, 23.5%bf, ex-LTR 3 years, ex-married, 2 kids. Lifts: 88kg Bench, 156kg (+5) Dead, 136kg Squat (1RM) Reads: Skipped these the last times, but basically everything in the sidebar except for Rollo and Laws of Power. Last read that's still fresh was Praxeology 1&2. Rereading: NMMNGx2 BODY 1 month in. I had to shift and improvise, but I did not miss a single day of training. Lifts on track. Cracked 2 year old deadlift PR, 4 weeks into cut. Did not eat disciplined enough thi…

OYS #6: 43y, 1,76m, 74kg, 24%bf, ex-LTR 3 years, ex-married, 2 kids. Lifts: 88kg Bench, 151kg Dead, 136kg Squat (1RM) BODY Had a downer Wed, sleep was miserable. Looks like I overpaced on the cut, dialed carbs up to stay sane. Apart from that, spot on. I hated the low energy level and elevated fatigue at first, but I'm slowly adjusting to it. I learn to like it like a good muscle sore, the feeling of some hairy self-respect growing. Went on a sprint run and had my whiny monologue already written…

OYS #5: 43y, 1,76m, 75kg, 25%bf, ex-LTR 3 years, ex-married, 2 kids. Lifts: 83kg Bench, 150kg Dead, 134kg Squat (1RM) ACTION Last OYS was too much whining, too little action. Right after, deleted Bumble, unplugged TV, trashed cigarettes. Booked a fancy group exploration, rebooted paragliding license, started planning my own mountaineering expedition. Realized I was trying so hard to go for that "feeling of abundance" when all I tried was desperately grabbing attention for someone to fuck me. No …

OYS #4: 43y, 1,76m, 76kg , ex-LTR 3 years, ex-married, 2 kids. Lifts: 90kg Bench, 150kg Dead, 140kg Squat Mission: Validation detox. Build a self so internally validated and grounded in purpose that I become the source of my reality, not a reflection of her approval. Last 3 years in a paragraph: Had a dead bedroom, started a hot affair, got hooked on the validation. Blew up my marriage. Became codependent with the new woman, mistaking her approval for my own frame. During a fight, I froze, got k…

I was just gonna explain to you why I possibly DEERed on that. Then when I realized what I was about to do, it hit me and I learned something.

Stats Age 40 Ht 176cm, Wt 82kg, BF 28%, Lifting 380kg big3, Wife 40, Kids 2 under 9 Reading Completed: NMMNG, MMSLP, WISNIFG Currently: none My Frame and Mission I've come back to the topic of my mission time and time again over the past months and feel that my depression stems from the fact I simply don't dare to have one. I have a clue on what it is - my original mission, 20 years ago, was about being a creator - but I'm too scared to attack it fully frontal after feeling failure. That's why I…

OYS #1: 2021-06-29 Stats Age 38 Ht 176cm (5’9”), Wt 91kg (200), BF 31%, Wife 38, Kids 2 under 7 Reading Completed: NMMNG, MMSLP Currently: WISNIFG Read the Rules Ban I thought I had something interesting to post two months days ago. I even got few upvotes. Yay, external validation. In hindsight, the content was pretty dumb and I got banned flatly for not reading the rules. So I felt victimized and tried to reassure myself it's just the community being mean to me. But of course it wasn't the comm…

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
