Seems you have figured it out. Just do what you want to do, and the rest falls into place. I don't know about having it figured out. But I know I am a damn lot happier doing what I want to, when I want to. I think the biggest thing I've got from MRP is remembering that my life is for ME first. Then, I can share that with others. My life is not about pleasing everybody (hell, its not about pleasing anybody) else as a priority. At least not right now. It just turns out that the people in my life h…

I agree. I am not in amazing shape by any stretch but I am the most muscular/in shape person in our social circle. Getting my bodyfat down so I am fully ripped will no doubt improve my SMV, but I'm not going from a 0 to a 10 physically. Whereas with general appearance, everything you mentioned, I am / have been very much working at a 0. So, theres a lot of gains to be had here. Its not attractive to wear t-shirts with food stains on them. Its not attractive to wear trainers with holes in. Its no…

To be clear, it was not the fact of the handjob that was the issue. It was my reaction to it of 'yes, better than nothing', this was self pity, I did not need to say that. Even if I thought that, it should not have come out of my mouth. It was just being a bitch and complaining. Funny you mention about giving it to her, rather than taking it from her. One big thing I've really been making an effort to do recently is post sex STFU, not asking her how it was, not checking if she wanted something d…

OYS #8 Early 30's. LTR 5 years. No kids. Reading Steels detailed guide. WISNIFG. NMMNG. SAONGAF. TWOTSM. MMSLP. TRMY1. Currently reading book of pook. Lifting Squat 450, Bench 285, Deadlift 500. 5'6, 15% BF (average of 3 measures), I lift 4x/week at the moment. Squat (+20lbs) in the last 2 weeks. 187lbs (-2.5lbs). Eating 3000 calories and losing 0.5-1lb/week. Goal for this fat loss is to get down to 182lbs, probably lower. I am fatter than I think I am. I suspect I will need to be sub 180lbs to …

Good man, they're not bad numbers for your weight at all. You'll probably need to be 170+ at this height to start to actually look 'jacked'.

I was overwhelmed with how much stuff there is at first. It feels like you're trying to empty the sea with a spoon. Instead of doing everything at once, pick which areas are your biggest weakness. Then go hard on them. e.g. Losing weight, getting to the gym will drastically improve your appearance. Make you more confident and get you out the house more, where you potentially may make new friends. Pretty big return on investment from just one thing. At your weight, just increasing the amount of w…

Just looked back to some of your OYS from a year ago. Weight 155lbs -> 152lbs Deadlift was 300lbs -> 310lbs. Squat was 300lbs -> 310lbs. OHP 115 -> 120lbs Bench 215 -> 220lbs. 1.5 mile run 11.30 -> 12.20 ​ What happened? Was there a big injury?

Thanks I'll take a look at those channels. Im close to 40lbs heavier than you, slightly shorter and most of that is likely muscle mass, that, combined with the extra years of lifting, Im nearly 10 years older than you, will make a big difference! I've been stronger in the past too, powerlifting was more of a focus in my mid 20's, my best lifts at the time were 500/320/600 at around 220lbs. Residual strength from that will be making this easier, I've only been back in the gym for 6 months or so a…

Thank you, I think I've been capable of it for a while but its nice to tick it off. Restarting a fresh training block this week so looking forward to pushing it on.

Your OYS #5 was the furthest back I could find. https://www.reddit.com/r/marriedredpill/comments/hv3omy/own_your_shit_weekly_july_21_2020/fyrdq1i/?context=3 The difference is astounding. Thanks for sharing where you're at now, I know we're all on our own journeys with this stuff but I find it helpful to see where people have started compared to where they are now. Reading your old OYS I see a lot of similarities to where I think I am at now, but reading this one shows me just how far there is to…

I guess I'm still not through the anger phase. Is the apathetic stage a thing? Thanks for the feedback.

You said similar on my first OYS, I understood your point, but now I actually believe it. I am working out the best way to separate our business, and how I can walk away from this in the best position possible. In the meantime, having a sparring partner will do.

I don't think you're wrong here. Since taking marriage off the table, I've noticed I generally feel happier too. Almost like I knew subconsciously it was not what I wanted.

You're right. This is lazy posting on my behalf. And lazy thinking too. Thank you for pointing it out. But I guess it's just easier to throw up your hands and go 'lol prob get banned again, lmao oh well, too hard'. This is the story of my life. Making a joke/deflecting on something instead of doing the work to make it better. When things have been shit in our relationship, it coincides with me being shit. If I do better things are better. It was always my fault. You're right, that gets the point…

New bench PR this week (275) up from 250. Happy with that. Why am I here?

More good training the last few weeks, my training has mostly been for strength, I've added in a few more accessories for the beach muscles (biceps, side delts specifically). Why am I here?

OYS #2 Early 30's. Fiancé 5 years. No kids. Reading Steels detailed guide. Halfway through WISNIFG. Lifting Squat 430, Bench 255, Deadlift 460. 185lbs, 5'6, 15% BF, I lift 4x/week at the moment. Good sessions this week. Nutrition at maintenance at the moment. Then a fat loss phase in the new year, I have come down from around 30% bodyfat and been doing it in approx 5% chunks, then a break for a few months, rinse and repeat. The next few phases will be more like a 2-3% drop each time as I know it…

This comment thread is eye opening, along with the posts you shared. Regarding getting married - like I say, we've not set a date yet, though I do like your idea of doing it without the piece of paper at the end. Deadbedrooms - not entirely dead, just not what it was, or what I want. In the last 4 weeks we did sex related stuff BJ's/oral 9/28 days. Of them 6 were enthusiastic, 3 were meh. We haven't had actual sex for around 3 months though, the working diagnosis is vaginismus - aka I am not att…

Yep, writing this stuff out is a bit of a wake up call. Regarding working together - I've moved my office into another part of the building so we're not working in the same room, practically speaking I told her its as I need more space for working on my projects. That should at least create a little distance during the day.

To sort my shit out, to lay out my thoughts, observations & progress as I go & try to learn from others who have made it through this journey. Initially I was reading dead bedrooms, tried their approach, no resolution. Came across this and it makes a lot more sense to me from what I've read/experienced so far. Sta…
