June 09 - Weekly Improvement & Progress Thread

Just swallowed TRP earlier this week after my LTR (first relationship) ended in finding out my SO was cheating the whole time. Friend pointed me towards TRP and it was not a hard pill to swallow so to speak. Been reading as much as I can on TRP. Time to work on myself and I will probably make my own post sharing my story soon enough. I'm just glad I found the answers I was looking for so I could stop choking on that blue pill. Looking forward to fulfilling what I am truly capable of.

I finally started seriously going to the gym a couple of weeks ago, and I feel 10x better for it. Previously I'd be too embarrassed to go and barely be able to OHP the bar, but right now, for whatever reason, I could not give a fuck and it's really paying off, mentally as well as physically.

I've also been putting serious effort into learning a few new skills which I've been meaning to do for a while, but never got round to. My spare time is filled with "work" but I love it. I'm happier right now than I've ever been.

MONK MODE progress:

Started back in the gym after 5 months away. Managed to squat ~~255 lbs~~ 225 lbs. first day back (yay muscle memory!)
Purged my hard drive of all porn. Unbelievable how mentally challenging such a things was. In the back of my head I'm think "keep just a little bit", but I'm cognitive of these thoughts and aware that I was sounding my mind like a fucking junky, and that's exactly the problem with porn. Plus, these women you'd never actually fuck, and if you could why would you want to? Nobody rides the CC more than a porn chick, right?
Halfway through "Mastery", and from there I'll start reading "48 Laws Of Power" and the rest of Illimitable Men's list of books to read.

ExplorerTRP · 2017-06-09T14:51:31+00:00

Been going to the gym 6 times a week for the past month, which I am really proud of. I used to skip 1-2 sessions, but got very consistent now. Sticked to my nutritional plan, however due to going out a few times this week, had to eat fast food. Not too worried about it, since I'm trying to gain mass.

It's been alright in terms of social life. Talking to anyone doesn't seem like a problem anymore. Ever since my failed date few weeks back, I started regaining confidence. I tried to push myself out of the comfort zone as much as I can in order to further improve myself as a person.

Nevertheless, there are some complications. First of all, I'm extremely tired. I consistently hit 7.5-9 hour sleep every night, but I feel tired when I wake up and then after around 5 p.m. I don't know the science behind it, but I highly doubt that's normal. Secondly, there are moments when I just feel down. Say I come back from home after a long and busy day and I just feel like it's not worth it. I feel like giving up, but thankfully I never do. However, the thoughts are there. Also, I can't stop thinking about all the shitty mistakes I made in the past. And I hate to admit it, but I'm still not over the failed date I had a few weeks back.

TaxationSucks · 2017-06-09T13:51:10+00:00

Been losing weight. Posted a picture last night where I haven't looked that thin in years so confidence is high. I have slipped in bass practice after my move and need to bring that habit back this weekend. I started a trainer on Saturdays, my weakest day for my diet, helped me tremendously avoid shitty food. Once I add the bass practice back into my routine I'll bring back my reading routine as will and be back to my full routine. This move was such a bitch.

Hector_Castillo · 2017-06-10T10:28:39+00:00

Had probably my greatest accomplishment so far in life this past week (I'd only rank my meditative achievements as superior to this and I suppose my seductive accomplishments).

I finished my book on college game. It's about 800 pages and I'll publish it in a month or so. Five years of undergraduate craziness (chapter president, IFC president, most infamous playboy on campus,etc) boiled into one monstrous tome. Although I'd been writing for Girlschase.com for years now, I couldn't find the energy to finish the book until I finally settled down in Europe and have spent the majority of the past six months furiously writing (I graduated two years ago). Had to all but give up women during this period (though I did pull a few times I went out and had some help from Tinder, too, plus some social circle pussy).

The sacrifice paid off.

Currently setting up editors, graphic designers, etc. Should publish within the next month or so. Have had lots of guys ask for it, too, so my financial situation could change dramatically very soon. I'm beyond pumped.

WaterSpiral · 2017-06-09T18:32:07+00:00

Ways ive made progress: sticking to training/diet changes, this week marked a full 6 months. Recently started approaching training with the attitude of "find your weaknesses" rather than "gain strength", i'm pleased with recent progress.

Neighbor I rarely talk to said I was looking totally different, so that was nice even if I dont quite see it.

Also recently passed a certification course at my job, comes with a pay bump and some relatively interesting oppoetunities. Reading more, as well (Book of Five Rings is worth taking look at imo)

Ways I need to improve: still absolutely despise talking to women, whether its at school, work or out and about.

I get very little pleasure from it, and im sure my inner thoughts translate to my actions/vibe in ways im not likely not aware of, and that drives them away.

Im sexually attracted to women, however I have absolutely zero motivation(?) to pursue them.

Keep grinding, guys.

SteelToeShitKicker · 2017-06-10T13:22:58+00:00

The good 1. DL hit 2 plates this week. Chalk helped improve my grip and got it double overhand. Previous DL had to be cross gripped without chalk. Double bonus.

Squat went over body weight.
Making it through my first full week of 50/50 custody with my son at my residence. It went how I expected. He loves his daddy time and I love hanging with him. He's at the nonstop question phase so it's a ton of fun. Got some interesting texts from his mom like this has been hard. Thanks for supporting me in this. (By meeting her when she goes out on walks so she can say hi to him, etc). This arrangement will work well.
Have a meeting with a realtor to start looking for my own place. Currently have a sweet rent free living arrangement with a friend, but a man needs his own castle.
My boss put in for my switch from hourly to salary exempt. Gotta get through HR and my CEO. good stuff here. This change was in the works right before I heard the words "I want a divorce" so I iced it till that shit got resolved.
Got one of the best compliments I've received in a long time. I was hugging my daughter goodnight and she goes dad I can feel your ribs.
Reached out to the local bjj dojo. They were closed when I stopped by on Friday. If I don't get an answer from their website I'll go in before the days they have classes. Ready to add a combat sport to my life.

Lots of positive steps this weeks

the bad 1. Still kinda monk modeish. Want to get more social overall. Got a tinder match that didn't pan out. I'll keep working on that shit and seeing what works and what doesn't.

My financial planning is not fully in place. I can wing it just fine but I don't have an overall plan. That's on the agenda for this weekend.
I haven't made it as far into "becoming a supple leopard" as I wanted. Definitely need to improve my mobility. Braced neutral spine has helped my posture and walking, but I need to finish the intro chapters and implement the changes or one of the 14 day prescriptions.
Meditation dropped off this week and I didn't keep my morning routine. Need to set myself up for success in the mornings when I have my son.
I don't have an overall mission. Yes I'm being an excellent father and all that, but I still think I'm reacting instead of proactively determining and achieving my goals. I've hit my pre-divorce goals so I need to take the time to write out my next set of goals for this part of my life.
Weekend nutrition is not fully on point. Need to cut back on eating out with the kids. I justify it by telling myself they enjoy it, which they do but once a weekend is enough. I've been taking them out 3 or 4 times per weekend and that's too much.

Writing out the bad gives me actionable items to work towards this week. Time to own my shit.

TehJimmyy · 2017-06-09T21:21:03+00:00

19 M ( 20 in one month) Computer Engineering College Student

Deloading for next week . Finally reached 130 lbs on 5x5 but need to take a rest. A month remains before summer break (no lifting for 2 months,maybe i will get to calisthenics). I am cutting and i am slipping a lot but i get back to it with cardio .

Today i got stuck by the barbell on bench press on the last rep.Luckily i called one of the guys and we racked. Thanked him and handled it really smoothly continuing my day.

My mom mentioned seeing a therapist as a joke after i had a fight with her. I took it seriously and have been thinking about it since.I just cant make it alone. However i dont think my family can afford it alongside my university . Exams are next week. I am gonna give it my best but i know i left the hard work studying for summer.

It was almost time i got some hobbies.

1)Reading
2)Anime-Shows
3) Gym
4) People Watching
5) Computer Programming ( Cpp - Java - Unity)
6)Cooking
7)Guitar
8)Video Editing
9)Lifting

I figured out your life mission should be these and that . A life mission is yours and it never abandons you unlike women.

Finishing again No more Mr nice guy and rereading the sidebar. This time i am taking it's contents to heart and thinking about it unlike the first time i read it. One time read is never enough. Atleast for me.

I am still fighting with my porn addiction . I figured again i would fap each 4-7 with porn only once at a time.I just cant cut porn even tho fantasizing with MO seems better.

I am not really relying on NoFap. Of course it makes me happy confident more social but on other side it makes me needy depressed and cant focus on work.

Like everything must keep a balance at it.

Anyway if you read this here's a good song :):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUesDQxGLXA

TRPLeft · 2017-06-10T12:39:28+00:00

Went a jog for the first time in about 4 years yesterday. Girl played hard to get and I tried to implement the abundance mentality. Spent 4 days job hunting and applying for college courses(different from US college)

Cons: Girl made arrangements for me to Netflix and chill, she ghosted for 3 hours around the time I was supposed to head over and I sent two texts enquiring about her company.

It's a good start and I am feeling good about myself but this week I will really step it up a notch. Back into reading and the gym are my two goals this week.

Reeeeeacher · 2017-06-09T18:26:36+00:00

First comment here but this is a good way to journal and hear from others so I'll keep it up.

I'm reading a book called You Are a Badass (it's written by a woman and I don't usually like their style but this one speaks to me). This is being super helpful in my mentality.

I've made the decision to have faith in a higher power because of the book. God isn't an old white man in a bath robe, or maybe he is. It might be a taco that poops ice cream for all I know. What I do know is that instead of everything we experience there could be absolute nothing. I have always believed something must have kick started the universe. And this new faith I have is more of a gratitude toward that higher power. A belief that the universe wants me to win (I still believe religion is the opium of the masses and organized religion is run by charlatans)

I've also started writing down and saying out loud some positive affirmations. I am self conscious about my looks so one of my affirmations I constantly say is, "I love how tall I am and get better looking every day." This is producing amazing results for my self image.

Even with my new beliefs I still feel like shit at work. I have literally zero things to do and I sit on my ass 40 hours a week and it's depressing to me. I have asked for additional responsibilities and am always told to be patient. I'm fucking dying of boredom.

Overall, I'm starting to see myself as the man I want to be and who I will be. This is my real accomplishment for the week. That I have hope for my future and that I'll reach my goals if I continue to improve myself.

Cos_7_ate_9 · 2017-06-09T19:03:17+00:00

The gym has been paying off and I'm physically the best I've ever been. Also absorbed some fashion sense from a few friends and I think I dress well now. I've taken some steps to move to a new college away from my hometown which I think is going to open up a lot of opportunity since its a much bigger city and I'll be out of my parents' house.

One fuck up last week. Me and a friend went to this bar and within minutes this drunk chick is all over me and I'm just kind of ignoring her and talking to my friend so she's trying to get my attention.

Another few of my friends showed up and soon after I got up to go to the toilet. When I came back the girl was sitting in my seat so I asked if I could have it back. She said no so I just picked her up and sat down with her on my lap which she responded well to and it ends up with her sitting on my lap with my hand around her waist. I'm not really talking to her much just keeping up the conversation with my friends.

They tell me they're leaving to go to another place which was the plan originally and I ask if she would come but she has some excuse not to. (red flag no. 1). One friend tells me to stay behind and pull because it looks like its gonna be easy so I decide to do that. A couple of minutes before my friends leave this girl has her full attention on another friend of mine (red flag no. 2) and he's kind of uncomfortable because he thinks I care. Soon after its just me and her and we're not talking much at all which was sort of how it was already because I was talking to my friends mostly not her. Its a bit awkward because it feels like the energy has left with my friends (mistake no. 1). I ask about a tattoo on her arm and she tells me she has a big one on her stomach but she can't show it because she's wearing a dress. She shows me a picture of it and I tell her I don't believe her and she says ok she'll show me and I say "no maybe later" since we're in a well lit room full of people and she's about to pull up her dress (mistake 2, why should I care). She seems kind of disappointing and shortly after she says she has to go somewhere and she'll be back and idk if she left or got lost (the place was packed) but yeah I wasted some time on her.

I mentioned the 2 red flags along with a third that she wasn't making much eye contact. If those had happened with any other girl I wouldn't have thought I had a chance and I would have gone with my friends but her being happy to sit on my lap threw that instinct off.

The 2 mistakes I mention in my opinion were due to me not knowing how to deal with and allow her to be the slut she was ready to be. I should have just talked shit and been forward sexually but my quietness and not wanting her to pull up her dress (I know what the hell) made me waste an easy chance. I had her attention and attraction but I was completely empty handed when it came to having a plan on closing with her.

studentsensei · 2017-06-09T20:33:35+00:00

Hit a wall in my fitness goals. Extremely disappointed because I'm no where near my goal and yet I'm struggling mightily. Took a week off and started StrongLifts 5x5 and haven't been as consistent as I would like to be.

Not giving up though.

[deleted] · 2017-06-09T22:57:49+00:00

Good:

Been feeling tired and fatigued for as long as I remembered. Finally ordered some tests today so I'm anxious to see how they turn out.
Continue to make progress with my PE, fucking girls better every time. Applying Sex God Method to my fucks is helping too, still trying to learn Immersion though.
About a month in to my new job, going great and saving a lot of money.

Bad:

Moved to a new city only for two months and don't know anybody. Been using Tinder for lays but it's just keeping me complacent, I need to delete it and start day game. Starting is the hardest part.
Ruined an opportunity to fuck an HB9 who was extremely into me. Was scheduled to go to her house, she was already sending me sexy pics and showing huge sexual interest. She had two days left in town because she graduated and she ended up staying out late with her school friends on their "last night out." Instead of using abundance mentality and acting like it was no big deal, I send a few texts trying to persuade her to come home. Looked needy and ruined chances for her last night. Oh well.
Slacked on reading every night this week. I've also been sick though so sleep is more important. Finally recovering.

iamtheswoop · 2017-06-09T23:22:19+00:00

Finished reading: Rationale Male second time Roosh V Bang 1st time 3% Man 3rd time

Finally got tested for low testosterone, turns out I'm beyond low, so starting TRT soon

setsuna0 · 2017-06-09T23:45:37+00:00

I'm healing from an injury so I'll start lifting soon. I'm practicing driving for my test next month. Deleted any and all dating sites/apps that felt great Regulate my online time Returning to old hobbies Tomorrow I'm planning on getting my hair cut, buying clothes, and talking to women while I'm out.

RenaissanceMan79 · 2017-06-10T01:54:13+00:00

Good

continuing to hit the gym, already seeing a little gains
made big steps toward improving diet, still a ways to go
took this slut home from the bar last weekend

Bad

got CB'd by bitchy friend when I got above mentioned slut back to her place. probably for the best, she had a little too much to drink.

general_derez · 2017-06-10T05:05:57+00:00

Improved: Lifted more weight and/or reps than last week. Closer to Goals: One successful week closer to graduation. Less than 11 months to go. Fails: Passed up on many opportunities to approach. Success: Approached, Gamed, and went on a hot date with a girl. My first serious effort and success since the end of my LTR a month ago. Aiming to plate her and get another one.

rogerramjetz · 2017-06-10T05:52:56+00:00

Improving drastically with weights.

I've been doing the Strong lift 5x5 beginner program for about 5 weeks after finding TRP.

I'm finding that the boost in testosterone is helping me give less fucks and improves my confidence.

It helps me in all areas of life.

This week I squatted 73 kg. Tomorrow I do 76kg. I never thought I would be able to do this in my whole life. I haven't lifted weights for about 20 years. My Day job is a software developer.

Thanks TRP.

Fook209 · 2017-06-10T12:33:19+00:00

Met 2 girls from Tinder this week! Both went great. They were actually pretty cool chicks, both super laid back and are just interested in NSA sex

I've come a long way from getting no matches and struggling to get a reply.

redskirmish · 2017-06-10T09:21:34+00:00

Pros:

stopped watching porn and fapping for 9 days.
started to working out again (still difficult)

Cons:

I'm out of bed too late
playing videogames (this is the cause to sleep at midnight)

Roflsquad · 2017-06-10T16:24:42+00:00

Lifted three times this week and planning on going on sunday again. Got a meet up with a girl tonight. Also studied for my exam. Life is good.

Ginger_destroyer · 2017-06-10T18:47:32+00:00

Made a goal to get to 180 lbs about three weeks ago. I've always averaged about 156 and now I'm averaging at 160. Working out everyday with a buddy and have been making 1600 calorie shakes every morning. I've been staying the course to get bigger because I'm tiny

The_Redmen · 2017-06-10T21:55:47+00:00

Just received my NMMNG book and started reading it, started to run again, have been watching my diet and cut out all sugary and processed foods, and am now on 24 days of no fap! Decent week for me so far.

Huskimbo9 · 2017-06-10T22:40:17+00:00

Started a new routine this week.its a rough start but by the end of next week I should have it down. Having a routine saves a lot of time,even better when you you leave no idle time inbetween your objectives.

Huskimbo9 · 2017-06-10T22:42:48+00:00

Gonna put this out there again.

there's a redpill chat on the app Discord.if you'd like to join,download the app and send me a pm and I can send you a link to join,it's not a busy chat either.

Peace.

FAT_BOSMA · 2017-06-11T07:03:52+00:00

I've been trying soo hard to make funny videos on social media but it's just been sooo difficult to make progress.

The red pill helps but I feel like I need someone body to go to for help/advice, but I guess that's what not having a father means for a guy like me.

showerdudes99 · 2017-06-11T12:59:34+00:00

After being rock bottom since my past gf of 7 years passed away in cancer, my mother also and one of my best friends, within the period of 5 years. I'm 32 and all of that happened from when i was 24 to 28, had to move in with my stepdad and had been living like a loser there, smoking weed, wellfare, alcohol, pornaddict, adderall, caffeine, nicotine, you name it.

The past 8 months has been a complete turn around, I stopped all of those things one after another and suffered withdrawal like you would not believe. I rode it out day by day and it strenghtened me like jesus christ. I've gotten a job which is very sociable, meeting new people all the time (i was an introverted, shy, anxious loser obviously, still a bit introverted but def. not shy or anxious around people anymore)

Payed off debts i had, removed all computer games, have morning routines, do great at work and I started lifting although without a real program so i've only gotten some base strenght but didnt want to mess up my body too much by lifting poorly/too randomly so I'm hopping on 5X5 SL and adding some accessories. I feel like I have an enormous hunger for life and come back with enough discipline to pull it through even though I am 32.

How I found TRP was that 3 months ago while I still was fairly vulnerable, i met a girl online who had a bf since many years but she was looking for other options it seemed (something i read it's called BRANCH SWINGING) and we started chatting every day, talking on the phone, while i also knew him a bit (we played some online games together) and it all was such a fucking mess, but back then i was a bluepill beta, well kind of still am but now i at least understand things better while i'm processing the TRP swallow. Plan was that she would break up and move to my country, but the more i pushed and wanted her and loved her the more she hesitated and ended up crushing me, we also met once and I gave the most beta bucks impression possible, cause i was still a bit of an anxious nervous wreck from withdrawals and shit.

Either way, she said she was gonna stay with him some and then i ended contact and said id block her cause i refused to be friendzoned and she was sad but said ok, a week goes by and she contacts me again and says shes ready to move out from him if i still want to pursue our relationship.

by then i had just found this TRP and had my mind blown (my life was flashing by me and my brain was connecting so many pieces that I never understood before) so i was like forcefeeding my brain the whole sidebar while at the same time ordering 10 different books

Although being a TRP rookie i still had fragments of the oneitis cancer left in my brain and started talking to her a bit again but with a much different attitude, more confidence, less needy, and she was surprised by it and wondered where the old me was and i said i'll never give her the old me until i've had my dick in her, i refuse to be an emotional tampon, she was surprised but understood and then we kept talking and i also raised competetive anxiety in her when i told her i was also seeing someone else atm but just for sex, it pissed her off which i thought was pretty funny since we weren't even together and she had absolutely no claim on me even though she somehow thought she did.

either way then she said i hurt her and that this would be her last sms to me and i said good, i hope it is and that was a week ago and some of the oneitis cancer in me is still there but its slowly being fought off with meditation and constant self improving, and also coming back to this sub to remind me of AWALT.

I cant stop feeling like i sometimes hope she'll come crawling back again so i can maybe have a chance at fucking her (i havent had sex for so many years and i dont fap anymore and i'm in no position of dating since i live with my fucking dad after being at the absolute rock bottom in a loser life).

The rational me tells me that i need to ignore women completely until i've fixed myself entirely and at the very minimum have a steady job, appartment, driver license. The only thing going for me is that i have a really good body / base, even if it's a bit small still it's def not fat and it wont be hard for me to get a really good looking body when i start taking nuitrition seriously this month's pay.

TLDR: shit loser life abused every substance possible and fapped myself to near death surpressing emotions of death from close ones until something snapped in my brain, but then a fucking succubus comes by and casts ONEITIS on me and halts my progress and fucks my mentality a bit but then i gather more strenght and slaying this ONEITIS cancer one piece of the tumor a day

[deleted] · 2017-06-11T16:47:27+00:00

Stopped watching porn and gave a fuck about myself and finances, and health, Told my cunt parasitic mother that she was a cunt and broke off the relationship with her and told her she was a piece of shit. Made plans to go back to school, finally decided what i want to do with my life, started my first savings account in 10 years, started meditating.

[deleted] · 2017-06-11T21:49:35+00:00

The solid- Found new daycare for my son (2 weeks on two weeks off is tough to find. Took about 100 phonecalls to find a new one) Hit 235 5x on DL Did shit with my kiddo, invited a neighbor I had never met to come hang out.

The shitty: Dropped meditation Have NOT been approaching girls I see during the day. For whatever reason I can't seem to overcome this damn fear--and it is really starting to piss me off. My house chores have fallen to the wayside.
