Bulking is OVER
Both bodybuilders and amateurs alike have been told for decades that if they want to gain muscle and lose fat, they need to have times when they eat in a calorie surplus (bulking), gaining both muscle and fat, and then eat in a calorie deficit (cutting), to lose the fat while trying not to lose too much muscle. However new research suggests that this really isn't needed.

Getting good with the wrong women: How men train themselves to miss out on quality
มุมมอง 1.3K19 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Many men who want to know how to get good with speaking to and dating women often learn from where things went wrong. But it's possible and all too common to learn the wrong lessons by choosing the wrong women to learn those lessons from. They may make themselves better suited to insecurely attached, emotionally immature women, but in doing so they may shape themselves out of being a good match...

    Have you talked to your ex-wife after this? It would be interesting to hear her perspective because I was in a somewhat similar situation to you but I think I was the wife. I tried to break up with my ex several times during our relationship because I didn't find him attractive but he just wouldn't let me. Here's how it would always go: I would tell him I want to break up, he would start crying and me being a chronic people pleaser would feel bad and take him back. Things went back to normal but my lack of attraction turned into resentment which turned into abuse, his low self-esteem wouldn't allow him to break up with me so eventually I would try to break up with him, he would cry, beg and negotiate himself back to me and the cycle repeated itself. I don't hate my ex, all I see is a complex, broken person at the time just like myself and we were a lethal combination. I don't know if he still hates me for leaving him with his crushed self esteem but in the end I know I did what had to be done for the both of us. I could not bring myself to love him and I don't think what he felt towards me was love in the end either, I was a sliver of hope in his despair of low self esteem.

      Within a year after we got married I asked her if she still wanted to be together. I said if she didn't I would send her money every month and make sure she was OK. She told me that she loved me and wanted to make it work. I don't think I was afraid of losing her as much as I was of being the one who had to end it. Because I didn't believe in giving up. But I never closed the door on that as far as I can remember. I've not spoken to her since due to the level of deception and cruelty she displayed during the divorce, stealing from me, lying about her finances, and dragging it out for 2 years before walking away with what I offered her in the beginning.

      @@busybecomingmyself Hearing your story felt eerie, almost like hearing my own but with some details switched out/reversed. I don't know your ex wife, she might very well be a complete psychopath, but that's 1 in 100 people. I'm not defending her and I don't suggest that you talk to her but chances are that she is simply a normal person with her own rationale for why she acted and did what she did. My ex was no saint either but I can see why he acted/said the things he did in hindsight. As someone who was on the other side of an (almost) sexless relationship for 6 years I can offer this insight: *we were in a sexless relationship too* and unless you're asexual that's not what any man or woman wants. I became christian in my 20s as well (but not religious enough to marry) and for me a big part of staying was the "don't give up" mentality. I also felt a lot of *guilt* for not finding my ex attractive, he had all these great qualities yet I could not find him attractive so there had to be something wrong with me. I must be a terrible person. That was my state of mind. Had my ex made a suggestion such as you did I probably would have felt *even more guilty* for my lack of attraction and decided to stay. When you're with a good person and you don't feel sexual attraction some of us will do insane mental gymnastics to convince ourself to stay; "I'm just tired, it's stressful at work, maybe I'm not a sexual person" especially when we are young and haven't had many relationships before. I hope my words bring some new perspective on your situation.

    You were weak and pathetic, she obviously didn't respect you, therefor she didn't find you attractive and didn't have sex with you, also you were very naive, you didn't even know where your money was going, you let her abuse you which made her respect you even less... You didn't set any boundaries you didn't have any frame, you weren't a leader.. Most women would've either left you or did what she did. As a man it's your responsibility to take ownership over your life and make your woman obey you, and if she's not doing what you want you should leave her and never look back.

    My question is, if I’m the wife that has the problem of not being up for sex, what’s wrong with me and how can I fix it? I find I enjoy sex with my husband but don’t really enjoy sex in itself. Ofc this problem didn’t arise til after having children. We had an amazing sex life before that. I don’t know if I just don’t love my husband like that anymore or what but I do feel bad for him. And I truly am just too tired and my stress is at an all time high. Sex has become a chore to me for the most part, and sadly my husband really loves me and refuses the idea of divorce. I’ve suggested counseling but he almost thinks he’s too good for it and refuses unless I threaten to divorce him. Ofc sex isn’t the only problem in the marriage so I do think we need it, and even if we didn’t I believe no one is above counseling and it’s more beneficial to start before the marriage starts breaking down as opposed to after. I miss enjoying sex and having freedom before children and hope that as they get older the desire and happiness will return but I do often fear it won’t last till that point.

    I wish it were that simple. My dad left my mom when we were young. Basically, that left my brother and I defenseless against my mother’s volatile emotions, which she didn’t get a handle on until after we were out of the house. The moment my father left, it didn’t feel like a home anymore. I can’t do that to my son just so I can have more sex. What a tragedy of society that this is considered good advice.

      I made another video about staying for the kids. When couples separate and custody is shared, at least the kids get to see the example of a man who is 100% of the father he could be 50% of the time, instead of seeing him being 50% of a father 100% of the time. There are sometimes no good solutions, but there are less bad ones. And kids learn what they should expect in life from what they see the parents tolerating.

    You kept her by your side for such a long time that is very sweet and kind but i feel like it has got to do with the fear of abandonment we had from our early childhood maybe? I also went through something similar with my ex it lasted for few months I regret not making her realise her mistake for not speaking up for myself since I had a fear that she might leave me, and I feel like if I had been more assertive things would have worked between us , but our values didn't really match so it's a win win situation for me learned a very big lesson. 💯

    I also was brought up by a raging abusive mother and ended up with low self-esteem and a virgin by choice. I think giving it away easily to anyone as a woman, just to witness your trust being abused, your body used and yourself discarded, is the deepest injury. It still hurts when the people we love leave or treat us poorly, and it is still possible to be invested emotionally without sex, but I like to save it as the last ounce of dignity I want to keep for myself. Women like us are not doing well in this culture where men walk away indignated if they can't get it, even though they always intended to move away, change cities, and they feel entitled to take it forcefully with tactics and deceit.

    Yeah correct although I still think a lean bulk helps for two reasons; 1) your body does like to build in a tiny surplus or at least to ensure you get the protein synthesis equally throughout the day. We aren’t scientists so a belt and braces approach ensures this. 2) extra energy during heavy more consistent training cycles. Anecdotally “gaintaining” doesn’t work for me. I do a lean bulk when I am training very consistent and heavy. But it’s not eating shite, I just eat more whole foods meat and veg, so more protein. The trick is to only oscillate 3-400 calories either way of your maintenance. So you never over eat or under eat

But I suspect that the effect of the extra 300-400 calories is mainly 1) enough calories to fuel your workout 2) enough protein to recover. I think it's pretty easy to try to hit maintenance and miss high or low. So aiming for a lean bulk may end up just being maintenance for all the extra training effort and getting enough protein. Any higher and it wouldn't stay lean for long. There's just no evidence that we know of where eating above that would mean more muscle.

    Kind of one-sided story with no reflection on what could've been going on in your ex partner's mind. I have been at the opposite end where my partner would pressure me into sex and get angry if I refused which created this hyper vigilance and anxiety around it because I wanted to make sure I wasn't doing it because of any external pressure/reason but because we both wanted it. Sex isn't a bonding activity if one does it out of sense of responsibility or duty. This may be also the reason why those trips and gifts didn't work. I personally would feel icky if my partner offered me gifts and then expected sex as a result. You may not have explicitly stated that that was your intention, but women can sense these things and ofc, if sex had been an issue for long then it wouldn't even need to be stated. So, instead of creating trust and connection, you may've accidentally perpetuated the opposite outcome. Ofc, I don't know all the details but I felt like offering perspective.

      Your partner might've easily also suffered from the same feelings of abandonment and lack of care if there were no affectionate gestures that felt genuine in the relationship.

      @@AnoNymous-jj1cm I swear some people mute the parts that don't fit their world view. I never raised my voice or showed signs of anger. I bent over backwards to be understanding and accommodating. I had the perspective that everything is always my fault so did everything I could to fix it. If you listened to the video you would know this. How is telling someone "don't talk about it. Talking about it just makes it worse. Now we won't make any progress for 6 months because you tried to talk to me about it" going to connect to your partner? Maybe shutting down conversation is your idea of a healthy relationship but it isn't for anyone who is mentally healthy.

      @@busybecomingmyself No, I agree that shutting down conversation is not productive. But there's also a chance that it reached a point in her head where even talking and bringing it up spiked her anxiety and meant the end of world. Each time my partner got angry I would feel like leaving him and not having sex ever again (and we had sex several times a day, but if I refused even once the rest of the day got ruined). I don't know the actions that would've made her trust that the signs of affection were genuine and not ways to get sex, but it seems like talking or gifts were not them. I don't know if you guys managed to have full conversations on the issue but the way they might've went maybe also made her feel apprehensive. Anyway, I'm just trying to say that these situations can be complex and both sides are often making them worse even unconsciously and out of desperation.

      @@AnoNymous-jj1cm I'm sure that my attempts to give her everything she asked for and sacrifice my time, energy, money, friendships and family connections brought out the worst in her. I tried to channel my energy into other things to give her the space she needed. When she stopped holding my hand in public and I felt even more rejected, I went to volunteer at a dog shelter on weekends, because if I couldn't be seen as any good to my wife at least I could be good to creatures who needed me. I gave her all the space she asked for and needed. She refused to go to therapy for the first few years. The longest gap of 3.5 years without sex started after the sex therapist advised us to stop trying then slowly reintroduce things. She preferred to never reintroduce things. It was only broken after I heard her drunkenly telling friends at a wedding that she didn't find me attractive and would go if she had a better option. When I confronted her the next day (without being angry... An emotion you seem to really wish to insert into my story to make it match yours), she told me that she was drunk and people say things they don't mean when drunk. And I was so desperate to believe that she loved me that I believed her. And sex came back. For about 2 weeks. Just enough to give me hope then take it away again. Perhaps it would be better if you stopped wishing me to be like your ex. I am nothing like him. And you're probably nothing like my ex if you actually tried to communicate. Or didn't demand that he never speak to his family. Or didn't steal things and attempt financial fraud during the divorce as a way of trying to punish him.

      ​@@busybecomingmyself thank you for taking time to answer and offering context! I didn't mean to insinuate that you may've been similar to my ex when it came to angriness, but instead tried to illustrate what might go through the head of someone refusing (and also, this wasn't to blame you for anything! Similarly to you, I have strong feelings over the matter because of my personal experiences and I found your video thought-provoking, which made me want to comment). I was thinking that even without the angry/silent treatment aspect, the things such as growing paranoia and anxiety over genuinity could've perhaps applied. If you've ever heard of relationship OCD, it's sort of similar to that: constant anxiety and analysis, but also with cognitive dissonance in which you want to have intimacy but at the same time feel like you have to refuse in order to avoid associating sex to concepts line duty or responsibility. It sounds like a paradox but simply put it just stems from the lack of trust or emotional safety. NOT to say you didn't offer it, but that maybe, maybe she was very deep into her weird thinking patterns that she couldn't see your loving gestures for what they were. But ofc, something entirely else could've been going on and most likely was since there were other layers to the situation and her behaviour than simply refusing. I'm very sorry to hear about what she did.
