Positives

• Signed up to Reddit and subscribed to TheRedPill after a long time lurking this subreddit.
• Currently digesting the sidebar for real this time (was reading it passively the first time tricking myself into thinking I was improving).
• Signed up to the gym last week and have been 3x so far (my first time ever stepping into a gym in my life).

Negatives

• Been going to bed too late recently, my sleeping pattern is messed up.
• Been watching too much porn...
• Haven't been pursuing my hobby at all recently.
• Haven't been drinking nearly enough water as I should be.

My focus for the coming week

• Fixing my sleeping pattern. More sleep = Waking up early = More time to get things done.
• Continue to go to the gym and aim for 3x a week.
• Keep myself accountable on the weekly progress thread.
• Journal my gym improvements, sleeping patterns and positive/negative interactions so I can analyse what I need to do to improve.

P.s Great to be part of the community, will do my best!

I'm on steroids so gym gains going not so slow and steady.

Work is fine. I am on top of most things and my pay review is coming up. If I don't get a raise I should respectfully ask them for a good reference and look for another job.

Socially is a bit weird. Friends wanted to go out but my gf who lives an hour away always wants my time. Not really going to do anything about it right now

It got me about a 300 day following the red pill processing with baby steps Got laid Thursday I Hit 374 pound deadlift today 264 bench press Monday Got a date scheduled in Monday

Haven't lost any strength on big lifts. Transitioned to keto 6days/week so I don't have to count Cals. Doing really well in finals so far, much better than I've been doing. Med school is a doozy. Also I feel good that I'm not letting girl bullshit affect my schoolwork.

Main girl has started getting her act together after I spent the night with another girl. Still thinking about ending it since I think she talked shit about me to a mutual friend and that's unacceptable.

Girl 2 is either the most convincing BPD or the nicest girl I've ever met. Probably helps that I fuck the shit out of her multiple times a day and fill the hole (haha) left by her father.

Finally started dating again after beating depression. Been to the gym for the past year or so, and have been putting myself out there for a few weeks now. Boy, is it nice to get attention from women, especially after having read no more mr nice guy, and the art of seduction. I'm in control.

positives - signed up for local gym and dieting on 2000 calories for new low of 221 at 6' 3", even after thanksgiving feast. Sore after doing a circuit of 3 * 15 reps on a dozen + of the weight machines, tried to do a lighter load just to get form done well but still need to take a break yesterday to rest the muscles that previously weren't isolated with body weight exercises. Aiming to go there 3 days a week and might take a break from my daily workouts while feeling sore from heavy lifting at work and gym to let muscles recover. Bad news is that all my pants are too loose so time to check out any fashion tips.

Job search wise got a call from a company I failed the interview previously with for a long distance position that just opened up that seems a better fit for me, so trying to psych myself and research for that one to not be as nervous and maintain better eye contact / body language. Relocation isn't an issue for me but will need to do a soft reset socially with cliche. still working at family business in the meantime.

Negatives - Didn't get too many chances to branch out socially or cold approach anyone due to family travel. Need to just hang out at the local bar and practice my pool game again. goal for next week is to do that and strike up conversations with dozen + people,

Hey guys, first post here after lurking forever.

I'd been slacking on hitting the gym for a while after a minor injury. I guess I figured I was "red enough" after bulking 25 lbs and becoming more social over the past 2 years. I noticed myself starting to slide back to my former beta ways.

I made up my mind this week to start taking cold showers again and I instantly started getting my shit together. Cold showers, 10 min of yoga + nofap is a life changer. I got back to the gym twice this week to ease back into things with lighter weights. I'll be increasing my lifts by 10 lbs instead of 5 until I get close to my limit. Diet has been good, I'm taking my supplements and getting to sleep at a good time. I was a hero at work this week too since I fixed the billing software the day before billing. I feel pretty good right now.

Consistent cold showers, 3 full weeks into 5x5, I tried Boxing for the first time and it was fucking fantastic. All this was done by me, for me. And I couldn't be prouder. I still have so much I need to work on, but I know I will succeed.

The first time going to the gym and holding yourself responsible for your actions is the hardest, yet most liberating, thing you can do for yourself.

300 push-ups in a single workout 300 dl, on the way to 400 next year GF is constantly feeling my ass and shoulders after gaining muscle mass

Hit 205 on dl. I know most won't be impressed, but it's a milestone for me.

After a bad gym accident and unsuccessful back surgery (got 2 steel rods holding my spine together), in August doc said he was ordering a wheelchair. Fuck that. Back at the gym on August 24th after a 2 year off...hit 232lbs (up from 188), topped out all of the machines WITH my 4 inch resistance band, testing out a new anabolic protocol, and inclines are back at 245 for reps (short of my personal of 365, but the stability is still not there).

I have begun preparing small, really small,daily exercises for myself after it sank that adopting the shit preached on this sub wasn't gonna come quick 'n easy. For the past week I've been attempting just to speak louder and have my voice literally shake the room, even if it makes others uncomfortable.

Positives: Been murdering the gym, up to 15 pullups at a time at 5'8 215.

Fasting more, eating protien salads for lunch all week. Drinking plenty of water.

Went to my weekly small group for young men at my church. This is my meditation, also gives me weekly practice to watch bp men.

negatives: Drank 2 nights this week, not much but still need to take a break from that.

Honestly I've been in monk so long, i think it has now become my comfort zone. I need to push myself back into female interaction. I see them staring i just need to approach now.

Havent been cutting as fast as i want, need to step it up. Will begin 20 hour fasts next week.

Edit: and i did bust out of a button down shirt by sitting down at a table and bringing my arms up. That felt good.

Have been hitting the gym pretty hard over the last two months. Never did this before in my life so I'm weak as hell and trying hard to change that. Only missed once so far because of thanksgiving goings on. This week I increased weights on just about every exercise, finally got my bench over 100, squats so close at 95,lat pulldowns to 115... well a bunch of low numbered crap but feels great to be bumping triple digits for the first time. Hopefully I'll gain some visible size over the next several months, then will try to cut and show some abs this Summer... hoping and working towards that anyway, we'll see!

Started lifting and making it a goal to make it a habit to do some sort of workout each and everyday. Also trying to get into the habit of eating three meals a day and put on some healthy weight and help improve muscle building. I'm a skinny fuck, but I will change that.

Also been working on maintaining eye contact and smiling at girls I make eye contact with. It's not much, but it's opening my eyes to how many girls are really out there. Next step is to approach, but first I need to start getting out more.

Just got my first apartment.

Hit a bodyweight if 247lbs.

Peaking program is going well, started doing singles this week:

Squat 375 x 1; then some backoffs at 330, 340, 350 all five reps.

Deadlift
435 x 1; backoffs at 385 x 5

Bench
270 x 1; backoffs at 230, 240, 250 all fives

OHP
3x5 @ 150

Being a tall motherfucker I'm impressed with myself. Eat, sleep, train.

Good

• My application for graduation in May has been accepted.
• SL 5x5 progression continues.
• Doing well in courses this semester
• Continue to become more social with my peers in class.
• Reading 48 Laws of Power daily
• Dieting well.
• Decided 100% on going to grad school but changing what I am studying. Undergrad, I am Media Production, but I do not want to be a starving artist, therefor I will be going for my MBA.

Bad

• Keep watching porn.
• Financially broke. No call backs yet.
• Went out Saturday to have 2-3 beers, ended up closing the place at 3 AM with this divorcee. She is red flags galore.

Overall week: 9.2/10

Fitness 10/10

• been following the program to a tee. every workout is great, especially today's workout

• no injuries no pains.

• Absolutely loving myself and my body when I look in the mirror. thats a great feeling, especially because I'm bulking. shredding season is going to be EPIC.

School 8.3/10

• 2 Exams. been a long week.

• Have been studying for those 2 exams so I have been putting in a lot of work. which is why I give the rating an 8/10

• eh, one decent grade. hoped for better but Im over it really. it was one of those small things I overlooked and it royally fucked me up the ass.

Social 9/10

• Monday was fucking awesome, felt dope and all that, made everyone laugh. Friday was also alright.

• Been debating if I should write the different IOIs I have received and post them here: just for myself to reflect and learn from. seems a little douchey though.

• one social situation I wasn't talkative but I wonder if I really wanted to be. a) I don't want to fuck either of girls in the situation b) I was trying to work on a school project (they were kind of distracting) c) they were talking about boring stuff IMO.

but then again I found myself a little jealous when the girls laughed with one of the guys. like I said, I don't even care about those girls, why am I jealous?.

• This girl one who was with her boyfriend (or what looked like her boyfriend) totally checked me out the gym. I know that's a pathetic thing to be proud of but it actually really felt awesome for my fragile little ego. Like her BF was right there but clearly I was way stronger, taller and more muscular and aesthetic so I saw her sideways glances from the gym mirror -this is literally shit I couldn't even have imagined 2-3 years ago before I started lifting. LIFT BOYZ, seriously.

Other goals 9.5/10

• Personal project #3, made a lot of progress, in fact Im nearly done already.

• Been quite interested in art recently, different art styles. especially like "photo mosaic", seriously, search it up.

• also looked at wallpapers and dream "battlestations", reddit is great for inspiration, honestly

• Sleep, seriously wtf. I'm tired as all hell in the morning and when I come home from school but I can't sleep for the life me at night. that's so fucking frustrating.
