August 11 - Weekly Improvement & Progress Thread

I've decided that my life is a mission; not just a life I'm living. I need to get a lot of shit together before I even think about game, but it's hard. I'm drowning in debt and without a car sure, but damn do I want pussy. But within me there's a side that gives no fucks and is slowly building his frame, discipline, and game. He cares about himself. He is the goal, the trophy. His life mission and passion is the reason. Women are the pleasures he enjoys along the way. If you want him, great, come get this dick. If you don't, see-ya, he's still ascending. He wants to come out, he even pokes his head out a lot; but I have to fix a lot first he says...

BlueCollarAsshole · 2017-08-11T18:51:09+00:00

Improved my deadlift from 425 to 435. Worked my ass off at my day job. Got new towels that's are really soft. 2/3 saved up for a truck.

Positive:

This three weeks been amazing with a girl, I felt loved and had good sex.
Leaving to a new country for a job next week, know 0 people, kind of scared but it's something I have to do.
Took the habit of reading again.
Started to control the negative thoughts that go through my head and trying to analyzse them.

Negative:

Kind of developed oneitis into the girl of those three weeks.
Haven't been consistent on gym and diet.
Spent more cash going out/eating outside.
Oneitis made me realize I'm so far still to grasp TRP concepts, I can read a lot about them but experencing them is a full different thing.

To improve:

Clean diet and gym.
Keep reading, look into meditation threads.
Would like to find someone in the forum to talk about problems.
Keep controlling my thoughts that invade my head negatively.
Plan my life in the new city.

Been out sober the past 2 nights in Vegas. Going out sober again tonight. Trying to go out 4/5 nights/week.

First night: made out with cute 35 year old but couldn't close because she said I was too young. Need advice how to handle when they talk about me being too young. I probably misstepped there.

Second night: Ran into Owen from RSD. Thought that was pretty awesome. Overall game was weak, couldn't get into the zone and my openers were all dumb. The one good convo I had where she was loving me she had a BF.

Anyone else live in Vegas?

Not much to say.

Read like a maniac. Worked. Thought about many things. Visited an old friend and had to realize - sadly - that we seem to differ to much by now to get along like we used to. We think differently, act differently, prioritize differently ect. Me tendinitis seems to get better (finally lol). Will start working out again as soon as tomorrow. Will continue stretching for Kickboxing (which I still can't resume because of my tendinitis).

Also: Shaved my head. It's fucking great. No need to worry about styling or anything. I really like it. It also fits me, my headshape and my character pretty well. Mixed opinions from girls I know but that was to be expected.

Also: Watched a movie with a potential plate. Was prepared to escalate, kino and have sex. I usually perceived her as an HB7 but she somehow thought it would be appropriate to wear baggy clothes, an ugly pair of glasses, dye her hair one day before the date and just generally look like a shitty mess. That made her look like an HB5 with an above-average body. I was so revolted that I couldn't escalate without my brain vomitting. Therefore, after watching the movie, I politely told her the next time a train arrives and she left me in a perplexed state asking me if I didn't want to come with her. No lol.

lucasmarsbars · 2017-08-11T16:58:52+00:00

Consistency lifting with a partner who pushes me. Missed more days in a row than I wanted to but I see how much strength I can build if I keep going.

RedBeaverBeards · 2017-08-11T17:33:22+00:00

I started working out and having more sex then I did a year ago, even if it is with one woman. I wrote out a strict 5 goal list in my journal for those special things I want to achieve with life and women and I am hoping that this lost will blossom into something more grande like developing a technology or becoming a really reliable developer of apps and games. For the new guys that might read this. Make fucking lists of things to improve. Why? Because you are instilling into your noggin the information you are trying to learn. Watch videos, listen while I'm in the car, write about my success and shortcomings and take action everyday even if it is for an hour. Mine consists of two simple ideas to practice everyday even at work.

Practice on vocal ptojection, tonality, speed and make your voice rhythmic when you speak.
Hold your frame of cool, calm, collected confident sexy man. Or simply "I am enough"

Good luck bros! Even posting to the thread helps with the neural pathways making connections and instilling xoncepts quicker.

DSetupDTitleDMenu · 2017-08-12T06:06:32+00:00

I had to quit my job and I have to move back home soon for the fourth bloody time in two years because I broke my leg from falling down a tree. I just wanted to see what the view was like, okay? I'm in my early twenties, ahaha.

Also, no money, no gains and no girls. Loneliness is starting to seep in pretty quick.

briskestbrisket · 2017-08-12T20:59:47+00:00

How do you avoid the scarcity mentality when fighting off oneitis?

CallMeHaseo · 2017-08-11T15:20:46+00:00

Stopped jacking off, bought some needles and syringes for my first cycle.

[deleted] · 2017-08-12T01:30:10+00:00

Positive: Recognized that my cynicism contributes a great deal to how people take to me as a possible friend. Gym is still a consistent, fun thing for me. Reading more. Paying more attention to my appearance.

Negative: Slipped back into smoking weed every night, still not practicing my instrument consistently (regardless of school coming in a few weeks), allowing myself to feel down in the dumps too much.

JFMX1996 · 2017-08-12T02:13:20+00:00

Decided I was trying to do too many things at once, and my efforts were spread out and ineffective. Put some things in life on hold meanwhile I work on others at a more concentrated and quality pace, like getting certified to be a personal trainer.

Making better progress now.

GOATmar · 2017-08-12T04:07:02+00:00

I expect this to be buried, I do this mostly for myself.

I kept at working out. I've gone maybe 5-6 times now in total, nearly every other day albeit one or two days missed. Can you believe that I manage to drag myself out of bed every other morning at 7:30am and throw myself on a train, head to downtown and grind away at a gym? This is new to me. I enjoy the high every time I work out. I do cardio and 5x5. Albeit my squat is so problematic as I'm feeling this pressure in my left bottom abdomen when I push up the weight. I think it's gas. It's really surprising that my cardio is improving, not as in I'm better at running, maybe very slightly, but my blood pressure went from "good" to "optimal", bro this is insane. After just a few days running I can control my heart rate and bring it down with two or three solid breaths and essentially feel in control. This is good. + I'd like to get more beef. I want to be a muscular guy, not just skinnyfat, though my bodyfat is definitely dropping despite my diet of chocolate bars and other junk which btw is going to receive a new stimulus package in the form of a dedicated protein drink with all the daily essentials one might need (Omega 3, multivitamin, creatine, protein etc) so yeah bodyfat dropping, muscle.mass and muscle definition is going up.... Which idk.. sucks but doesn't. It sucks cause my genetics are not ideal. Chest Gap. My abs are probably going to show up all the way fucked up too when they're visible. I'm going to get a fat injections in my chest for the chest gap, can't do much about the abs if they're fucked. Also, my membership is going to end soon, and the majority of what motivates me to go to the gym is these friends I go with. It's essentially peer pressure and competitiveness to not be the loser who quit. Never want to be the first to quit. Or quit at all. I want to win idk.

So he membership is ending, and I'm.not sure if we're going to get a new one or all switch to a gym nearby idk what will be pushing me to go. But at least the new gym will be cheaper, closer and I'll have to make a new friend there to peer pressure me into going.

Oh man.. this is just fitness. Imagine the rest of my life! One thing at a time. I want to master physical activity.

I'll try to wrap it up quick. 1. Made 600$ during the summer. Will invest 80% in current projects (omnibackpack, protein drink, style and clothes), put 20% in savings. 2. Will cheat for my tests in school to make sure I pass. Dont question me. 3. Took up the habit of studying new languages and reading. I can feel those habits slip!

Work_In_Progress92 · 2017-08-12T04:26:28+00:00

Good

Continued reading but not as much as I would like
Still going to the gym, feeling my quads getting stronger which is exactly what I need with my fucked up knee.
Talking to a new girl..still looking for more girls.
Reunited with people I havent seen in 6 years and it was a lot of fun. Was a good place to put to test some socializing.
Continued nofap 11 days strong.
Came up with goals I want to achieve within the next year.

Bad

Oneitis with my ex is still getting to me.
Didn't read as much as I wanted this week.
Drank too much when I went out.

liridoncenaj · 2017-08-12T10:17:02+00:00

Good: - Slept on floor for three nights (had to stop cuz it caused me major back pain) - Worked out 5 days - No fap day #6 - Read: You Are A Badass, Man's Searching For Meaning; reading: Awaken The Giant Within, Crucial Conversation - Learning sales

Bad: - broke no fap - did zero approaches - felt hopeless most of the time

kranos411 · 2017-08-12T17:15:53+00:00

Just started meditating and for about an hour each day.

I've been lifting a lot more too now that I'm able to go to the gym whenever I want.

Still gotta work on my wardrobe though.

[deleted] · 2017-08-13T01:16:01+00:00

Walked into a meeting with the president of my company, expecting to get fired.

I simply held frame and was clear on my needs.

Walked out of that meeting with my write-up thrown out, with both of them shaking my hand, thanking me, and then scheduling a meeting for my raise.

Thank you trp, you showed me how to be a man. Don't wait around for your situation to improve, make it happen.

Burnd1t · 2017-08-13T07:20:31+00:00

I bought clothes that really look good on me. There was a crazy ass sale. I know it might sound pretentious, but I feel good when I know I look good.

Beats wearing T-shirts that I got for free because they're advertisements for payday loan companies.

Goaheadhateme658 · 2017-09-16T21:37:52+00:00

So this week I am going to work on my sales Hit the workout 3 times and continue to watch my weight, down 30 pounds got at least 40 to go Why? ,why,? why,? Because I got lazy that is why!
