Launched new company.
Socialised 4 evenings but kept work on schedule.
Did body weight training 6 our of 7 days. Can see a vague outline of my abs. Finally. Also did yoga and meditation 6 out of 7 days.
Talked to a few women. Couldn't convert but I'll keep trying and learning.
Maintained frame in a few situations. Rewarding experience but needs more work.
Maintained my diet. Drank plenty of water.

I will break it to them once I am a few weeks in. I will be laughed at and mocked if I tell them I quit cold turkey and planning on never doing it. They know me well and know how much I use to love it so the reaction from them will be justified. Need to start making a new social circle with people that are motivated to do things other than smoke up.

Positives: -Went to the gym 6 days in a row. Lifted 4 out of the 6. Did cardio and abs on the other 2 -Started to develop content for a side project I am working on. -Made phone calls to potential strategic partners and they are interested in a future partnership and can see the synergy -Have cut porn out of my life 99% for about a full year now expect for random images that pop up on the reddit homepage every now and then -Started working part-time to make some income
Negatives: -Still very much in monk mode, I am not working a full time job -I have not been approaching woman, still not feeling fully confident in my approach -Thinking about starting BJJ, but have not proactively sought out classes in my area. -Working on keeping myself more busy and effective

• Going through the sidebar fully for the first time. Other times I have only read a few snippets or quit partway through, this time it’ll be different I’m sure of it.
• Lift numbers have continued to improve but I still find myself struggling to progress with my overhead press. My last weight check I was around 155lbs at 5’11”, 5lbs more than mid January thanks to getting my hands on some protein powder. My goal is to weigh 160 by the end of the school year (a little over two months away).
• I’ve increased my reading duration to 30 minutes from 20 minutes.
• Grades wise I have As in most of my classes except for a C- which will change after my essay is graded, and a D- which I’m trying to fix although if It should’ve never been that low but I have been lazy.
• Socially I feel more confident but I haven’t had any presentations in class until another two weeks which is when I will be able to put my social anxiety to the test.
[deleted] 6y ago
First post on reddit, sorry.
15 yr, 189 cm (6'2-6'3), 73 kg (160 pounds), 3 months into TRP
Football (soccer) season started out again. Went to practice Monday, Wednesday, have a game today. Slightly dissapointed with my performance. Also, since I'm a quite skinny, tall young dude I've been starting to get somewhat worried that such cardio isnt actually beneficial, and would instead end up in my burning my hard-gained muscles.
Went to the gym Sunday, Thursday, Friday. Will go back on Sunday. I haven't given it my best, though it wasn't my worst either. From now on, though, every rep should be my best rep. This goes for everything else, as well.
Ate consistently healthy this week. Plenty of fish, avocado, nuts, MEAT, and truckloads of fruit and vegetables. I've always been a healthy eater, and I can feel the benefits all the time.
Nofap, day 7. Weeks are easy for me. I don't even have time to wank. Weekends, on the other hand, harder. Again, though, I'm confident I'll make it through without a hitch. The biggest reason I do nofap is that it helps discipline me - I've noticed, that once I've indulged in fapping, the dominoes start to fall and I basically waste my entire weekend. Not good. Also, what embodies positive masculinity more than building up your sexual, testosterone-borne energy inside you, rather than wasting it on a couple of pixels on a computer screen?
Continued reading 'The Rational Male' by Rollo Tommassi. Didn't read nearly enough. It's turning into a bit of a drag. Sorry, I haven't finished a whole book since I was 8.
School is doing alright. Again, though, I'm unsatisfied with my performance. Gotta sharpen up. Every assignment should be my best possible assignment.
Slight ONEitis for this girl in my class. She is the red pill text book example of a woman. I think she's somewhat interested in me as well, and, boy, I can see her flirts and strategies from a mile. Thanks, TRP. Now, how do I shake her off. The reason I've contracted in the first place is because I'm in a small, private school, in a small, private class - it's the exposure effect in action. She's been my theory testing mouse for a while, and, for the most part, I haven't ventured much into her frame, problem is, she hasn't ventured far into mine, either. Smart gal. Help me shake her off.
Last but not least, some goals for next week. I've been, for weeks and weeks trying to implement three, new, daily habits - Meditation, morning stretching/mobility, and meal prep/calorie counting - into my life and so far, I've failed.
I have moderate but annoying acne, and it's gotten better this week. Good. I have (from birth) moderate glaucoma on my right eye, so I wear contacts. But even before I wore contacts, I had these dark, stubborn eye circles under my eyes. Zombies may be all the rave on netflix, but trust me, it's not a good look in real life. Perhaps I should ask my ophthalmologist next week.
Set a goal - no non-schoolwork PC Usage (writing this warranted an exception) for about 3-4 days. From thursday til' monday. Going strong, going confident. Reason for this is, ever since I was a child, I spent too much time on the computer. Now, even though I use it for relatively good purposes, I need to cut down. This is, for one thing, due to my eyes, and for another, due to brain fog and lack of focus resulting from constant usage.
Captain_Save_A_Hoe_ 6y ago
You dont burn muscle from cardio if you eat enough(calorie surplus) which you dont do because youre a 75kg anorexic. Cardio is considered GPP work and helps you recover from workout to workout faster in the long term. Even if you went out of your way to lose muscle for weeks you would struggle doing so. And stop listening to fitness bros on youtube like the hodgetwins and navigate towards your field professionals.
Ive seen lots of soccer teams in my area and they are full of idiots with no clue what theyre doing, half of them are only slightly stronger than the average numale and are probably picked into the teams because generally they have good genes(such as explosive strength and height) and maybe some talent but they definitely dont work hard. Sports isnt a beauty contest its competition. You have money to buy overpriced junk food like nuts and fruits, I suggest buying a coach whos knows his shit and is going to train you properly. Someone who could use the money would be eager to help you. Tell him you want to be not a loser. Where can you find such people? Fuck it go talk to all the head coaches or younger trainers and talk to all of them. See which one vibes with you and attempt to hire them out for 3-12 months. You probably have the fucking money to do so if you want to become someone in soccer. If not then thats a different topic.
Trust me bro you need to eat some potatoes and oats you skinny twig.
suavogame 6y ago
Pretty cool you're only 15 and onto TRP man. Look forward to the next one.
With your daily habits try just doing one for a few months, once it's actually a habit then start a new one. I've read this from multiple sources in the "advice space" and have found the same thing from personal experience.

Overall I'm moving in good direction but it's slowly. Good - it alllows me to enjoy pain WAY more.This is EXACTLY as fast I want this to go.FUCK '' 'feeling good' now''. The fact that brain feels pain and resistance means I'm actually changing slowly. If I wouldn't, I would feel just fine. I'M exactly where I want to be.

Thanks for advice :) !
I didn't mention it specifically but I do, do daily exercise, as part of habits I mentioned above.But it's not so important for me now so I just do 7 min HIIT per day instead of lifting.
Have a great day :) !
Vanwaq 6y ago
Thank you. I will definitely keep that on back on mind. I think the key from what I read from a lot of people is to be mindful of every action you do.
I have gotten myself in those situation before where I be bored and toke one and let one out but that quickly leads to feeling like shit and regret right after. Lesson learned after doing it more than a thousand time. It's like borrowing happiness or at least a illusion of happiness for instant gratification.
Any real happiness comes from struggle and hard work.
EqualitysA2WayStreet 6y ago
Gym 4x a week
Reading regularly, and not just self help stuff. It's really easy becoming a self help junkie
Professionally, I'm still stuck at the internship, where I'm learning but it's not exciting. Hell, there isn't even a lot of work, but project hasn't started in earnest yet, either, so that'll change.
Social life: Man oh man, all the popular kids who I thought that it were having a blast, are ..boring. Sort of like the post telling how girls become boring when you have them, now that I have access to that kind of a social life, it turns out it's boring. You literally show up and talk. That is all. Anyone who's used to a life of adversity, and a mentally stimulating lifestyle, for them, I'd guess it's the same; it seems like a board game; there's very little kick. Still gonna hang out with a couple of family friends, but not even sure I'm going to enjoy it. The only justification I have for finding enjoyment in these activities is that I know what else I'm giving up in order to attend the event.

Positive:
NoFap 3 weeks. No edging, porn etc..
Spoke for my team in the company's Employee of The Month meeting. It felt fucking good to have that ball of anxiety back again. Public speaking is something I'd like to take classes for when back at Uni, as doing these speeches is a great way to get out of my comfort zone.
During the EoTM meeting, I wasn't clapping when everyone else was. Doesn't sound like much, but when the CEO would start clapping, so would everyone else (sheep much, huh?), yet I only clapped when I felt it were necessary. Again, nothing big, but it gave rise to some anxiety due to 'going against the grain', which felt good.
Began reading LoTR, which is the first fiction book I've picked up in, well, years... Reading Ego is the Enemy alongside, but it would be nice to actually get my teeth into something not self-dev related for once.
Hired a photographer and got some modelling photos taken. Updated my Tinder and began using it. Thinking of saying 'fuck off' to girls so they're not at the forefront of my mind. So far I've gotten 1 response from a girl, and that opportunity seems to have dwindled. It's better I just observe the sense of entitlement girls feel on these apps, rather than beating myself up for not getting any success.
Developing some way of organizing/formalizing my buying and selling so that it doesn't add anxiety, I don't spend excess time on it, I'm making profit, and I don't accumulate too much stock. This is a WIP and a learn-as-I-go process, but for too long have I not been applying a business-like attitude towards it.
Negative:
I still compare myself to other's in regards to success with women and I still drag myself down because of it. This shows I'm still associating success in life with success in women, so much so that I'd say my feeling of 'success' and growth is dependent on my success with women. It's probably why I've been feeling so anxious and feeling little joy in my life: Because I'm getting anywhere with women, but advancing in other areas, but am not associating growth/success with these 'other areas', thus feeling down. I must find some way to reframe this mindset. This isn't to say I should start neglecting getting better with women, because I haven't spoken to a girl I deem sexually attractive in literally 2 fucking months, so that's gotta change somehow...
Only been to the gym once this week. Could go today, and tomorrow, but I doubt I'll go. My cut's probably been too aggressive these past couple of weeks, and I think I've burned out a little due to literally feeling weak just cycling to work in the morning, which hasn't happened before. Almost finished the cut though, which is quite relieving.
"You are the result of your 5 closest friends." Well, friends aren't something I currently have, so I guess I'm the result of what I let rub off on me from my acquaintences at work. I don't mind this much, but I am still trying to cultivate some friendship with this PT at the gym. Also got ignored by a few 'acquaintances' and my barber never messaged me after saying he would. Meh, fuck 'em.
Quit BJJ. This is more a positive for me, as it was adding to my anxiety throughout the week. There's pros and cons here, but ultimately I currently feel better off without it for a few reasons.
My evenings still aren't as organized as I'd like. Gotta be stricter with my Wunderlist organizing and stop putting so many goals into one evening, only to push them to the next evening, then push them again, etc..
coldser 6y ago
I also was doing that but I realized that no matter how you try it's not a success or failure. Women Like you or not its simple as that not a big deal or success because there is nothing to do about that
[deleted]
Shaney96 6y ago
It's something I want to get back into in the future. I enjoyed it alright, and the people there were sound.
I believe once I'm able to manage my time better, organized my life, and get some things off my plate that are already making my a little anxious, I'll start it up again, mainly since it's the only time in the week I can actually be around non-beta males.

It's mostly in the gym. Get your deadlift to 4 plates, your squat to 3, and your bench to 2.
Nonstopas 6y ago
I don't think that plates matter, go for general improvement and your strength will improve. I check my maxes once every 2 months or so and i know i can push myself harder, but i see no reason to go into power lifting/ strength training, and i can already do 2-3 plates on the compounds
[deleted] 6y ago
Muscle activation matters more than big weight for sure. The plates are a guideline for growth. I don't go over 315 on squats. I'd go down to 225 and do 20 reps. It's not all about the weight but it certainly helps.
Nonstopas 6y ago
Plus during my ego lifting years i went for weight and got shit ton of injuries that i still feel to this day, so now a days id rather do 20 reps and get sore as fuck than do 5 reps of my max weight
[deleted] 6y ago
Smart. My left shoulder hurts from handstand push-ups, believe me I get it. Dips are the way to go.
Nonstopas 6y ago
My damn shoulder is popping for 2 years now, i can't find a way to fix it at all.
[deleted] 6y ago
If stretching doesn't fix it maybe get it looked at.
Nonstopas 6y ago
Well it doesn't hurt, just annoying pop, the only time it's good is after i go to the swimming pool and do a lot of laps swimming in different styles, so i guess i need to find a good stretching routine and do it every day.

Vanwaq 6y ago
Positive: This Monday I woke up and changed everything.
Have been a daily pot smoker for 13 years and I quit cold turkey.
I stopped watching porn and whacking off daily like a ritual. Clean 5th day today. Can't remember when was the last time I did this.
I went to gym every single day this week. It was my first week going back to gym in over two years.
I ate healthy food everyday. No rice or bread. All greens and good meat with no oil. Etc
I went to bed in time and attempted to get a solid 8 hours. It wasn't easy as muscles and head were hurting. I just manned up and kept going. I had dreams for the first time in a long time and remembered them.
I stayed positive at work and got shit done. Didn't waste time on random YouTube or news channels. Even when I went to YouTube I was looking at all positive and motivational stuff when I needed a break. And Reddit a few times.
Negatives:
I have so much work to do on myself and my inner game and didn't have too much time to think about girls. Didn't work on game or approached any girls.
I didn't go out or socialize outside my work or friend circle. After gym just came home and watched documentaries and motivational YouTube videos. Not neg but could have been out.
Wasn't too communicative with family.
Didn't study for certs to enhance my knowledge.
That's it for my first Friday log! Hopefully I am here again next Friday with continuation of this new life I have decided to persue for myself.

Thanks! First week without it and it wasn't hard. The hardest part is not telling my friends and giving lame excuses why I can't chill with them. All week been dodging there invitation. I will cave in if I chill with them. But I don't have any long time friends that don't smoke and I still love those mans too.
MrEscher 6y ago
good job, I was in your situation. Build yourself choice by choice, minute by minute. Judge your position relative to where you were, not just relative to where you want to be.
BluPillMaster-bater 6y ago
props to your honesty and authenticity. Make sure you keep busy to keep the whacking off and pot temptations at bay. Going to the gym is awesome, just be careful with the recovery.. sometimes sitting on teh couch with sore muscles and being bored leads to a quick toke or a quick stroke off. Just be wary of getting bored when your muscles are all sore and make you not want to move..

Ohh you naughty naughty boy! We've told you so many times touching your wee-wee will make you blue pill!
Maybe start spending money on taxi rides to the gym instead of chocolate if youre too much a nubhead to walk there yourself? And no, carbs arent bad for you, you cant lift without em.

Negatives : Fapped three times in two day : Diet is shit : haven't lifted in three months now : Been waking in my sleep lately, stress-related

Approach more women. Just because that one shot you down doesnt mean you have a fundemental flaw in your game/approach. You need to approach more, get social proof, and abundance. Hit the sidebars
[deleted] 6y ago
The good: I think I've solved my rotator cuff issues. Less pain than in almost 1.5 years. Lots of external & internal rotations with a band and a towel between my elbow and side, lots of holding my shoulders back and down, esp. when running or talking. Progressing on Strong Lifts.
The bad: Slacking on judo..........plus, I waste far too many IOI's.

BluPillMaster-bater 6y ago
Dude, fuck. Well done in the positives list... the disappointment this week was jacking off more than once!!!?
You won dude, celebrate.
God I love jacking off. Its like one of my favorite things.. right up there with steak. And bourbon.
I do better not jacking off. Sorta. It certainly leads to me feeling way more sexual angst and tension. But it makes we way better in the sack. If I know I'm fucking on Thursday, for example, I stop jacking it on Tuesday, and Monday if I can.
I'm with you on giving up on anger, I'm tepidly with you on giving up jacking off (or just less), but when it comes to reducing social media, hell yeah. Social media is shit... nothing wrong with a weekl FB scrub to see what friends and family are up to. But most people use it way too much as a time sink.
Anyway, nice work.

Positive:
Been to the gym every weekday for the past 2 weeks. even talked myself into doing cardio last Saturday.
planned a trip to Europe with my friends. originally I was out on the idea, but after crunching some numbers I found out id be able to afford it.
have had sex twice in the past week with 2 different girls, and hung out with another one on but didn't fuck. Wouldn't you know it, TRP theories are actually working. Hopefully can keep developing plates.
planning to go to party on Saturday with my friends. its at a local college (I'm 23, graduated this past December but all of my buddies are about a year younger than me - is it frowned upon going back to college party after graduating)?
diet has gone very well. trying to cut some excess BF; I'm about 190lbs right now, trying to get down to ~178 or so.
Negatives:
haven't started studying for the LSAT yet. Told myself I was going to start Monday, but got tied up with some stuff Monday and Tuesday after work and couldn't start. Plan is to begin coming Monday, but I have to quit making excuses to not study.
When I did fuck, I didn't last very long the first time. the second chick I was able to go a little longer on. I guess this is still a work in progress.
Need to be more productive at work.
buttgoogler 6y ago
Glad for your improvement. What kind of TRP theories were you applying?
lovs2spuge 6y ago
Maintaining frame, handling shit tests in a MUCH better way, being more relaxed in my approach, and basically just not giving a fuck about the outcome of whether or not I get rejected.
wertrax 6y ago
Positives : I started the gym 3 days ago and it feels fucking great, I thought that I would be nervous about being in the same place as the 6 pack arms bigger that my legs alfa Chads but they are actually good people, I started to talk to some of them to practice social interaction and loose approach anxiety and its working wonders.
Took the challenge of talking to random people on the street to enforce the approach anxiety killing and it's easier every day, this makes me very happy.
Diet is still good, i added some fruits to the mix so don't eat the same food every 2 days.
Tomorrow I will see if I can get into the boxing club of the gym (planning on going each Saturday because is the only free day that I have) so I can add a sport to the training.
I deleted tinder and forgot of chasing girls until I'm better sorted out, this Monday I start university again so getting new friends is my main objective (besides studying of course).
I will finish my teeth treatment at the end of May and that means finally getting rid of this fucking brackets.
So my weekly routine will go like this since this. Monday to Friday : wake up 7am, going to work until 2:30pm (with lunch in the free time we have there) then going to the gym for an hour and then studying until I have to go to the uni, then uni then sleep rince and repeat.
Saturday: wake up 9am and going to the gym for an hour, go to be boxing class then whatever plans I made for the weekend, going out with friends or alone to have fun and meet new people.
Sunday: sleep :p
Negatives: it seems that the gym I choose (it's the only one that is close to work and university) it's a little bit famous for having a lot of gay people going in there and it's a little bit uncomfortable but I'll survive.
Going to spend some time looking for a new job because I will need a higher pay income in the future (second half of the year).

I've been reading TRP for 3months+, bought the rational male books and finished the first two, I need to finish the last one soon.
One week of holiday. Saw my dad and some friends last saturday.
Was able to hold frame with friends and it seemed more enjoyable. I was the one organizing the evening. I also just bought ticket for a US trip with those friends in August, it will be great.
Negative:
Couldn't go to the gym as my gym's school is closed. Will have to lift seriously as soon as monday.

Going to the Air Force. Been doing sets of 44 push-ups daily to prepare for basic training even though I'm in the middle of a rest from lifting to prevent overtraining. Already getting a cold idk if it's the weather or maybe I've been lifting to hard for too long without rest. Symptoms of overtraining are flu like I think.

Death before cardio. And like Quavo said, "I want the M&Ms fuck the fame". So I'll be doing sets of 45 to prepare and do whatever ridiculous cardio drills they make us do for 2 months. Then never do cardio again. They have girls in the Air Force. It can't be that hard.
FirstNamesMusic 6y ago
A little late to the party.
197ish on my cut, first time I've seen the outline of my abs in 2 years.
Last year this time I was 240 @ 5 foot 8
Not done need to be 190 at least.
Forced myself to not go to the gym yesterday for the first time in weeks. I am getting forearm splints, so I needed to rest a minute anyways.
Back at it today.
Have a few leads on plates, just keep slowly working on them. They are fun but a backseat to my fitness, job, and music right now. I am pursuing them though and will go out, it's more of a perspective thing.
