SADNESS Lieutenant Update & AMA

Whatup fam.


It's been a minute, wanted to check in with yall and give all of you the chance to ask me anything.


Since we've last spoke I have:


begun working out every day- I'm working on calisthenics so I'm running, doing pushups, dips, situps, pullups, chin-ups, and the such. I do at least 100 Pushups a day, and about a third and half of that the rest of the stuff. I've always been notoriously skinny and I decided that it's time to get physically strong if I'm ever going to be mentally strong.


There's something about running 3.5 miles in 20-degree weather at 5 AM that makes you unshakable & unbreakable.


I just joined a gym yesterday so no more cold running. I did hit my goal of 4 miles in @45 minutes so I bought a 60lb weighted vest w/ removable weights. Going to now work my way up to 4 miles @ 30 minutes on 60 lbs. Started today with just 8 pounds and nearly died at 1.5 miles.


Anyways, the point is I'm pushing my body harder every day to get stronger and can already see huge gains. I'm on an 80% carnivorous diet now eating once a day for dinner and protein shakes/water/coffee throughout.


I feel extremely clear-minded and strong.


I cut out porn, fap-ing, and all social media besides LinkedIn.


I've started chatting with some new girls.


I've been extremely focused at work and can now seem to do about a full day's work in half a day.


I've been spending the other 8 hours focusing on building an SMMA and Copywriting Agency and have invested in coaching. I plan to retire from the corporate world in the next 2-4 months and be self-sufficient.


So naturally, I have no time for anything that doesn't directly benefit me, like daily check-ins.


This stage of my life is called - well fuck it then.


and since I won't be checking in anymore I want to give you the opportunity to ask me anything. I'll be checking in and out throughout the day.


Cheers,

much love,

the man

Wow, reading your post is inspirational to say the least. The personal growth is evident in your writing. Moving on from negativity can be so beneficial. My unsolicited advice is to not over do it. An injury can easily break the stride you're in. Kudos to you!

Thats good advice. It’s a big reason for me sticking with calisthenics. No ever squatting anything or lifting hard weights. Just doing max or near max reps in sets of 3. And listening to my body the best I can. When I get more money ill invest in a proper coach and stuff.

I also don’t really think the whole i can lift weights thing is as cool as I can run circles around you in a boxing ring ya big dork.

Oh yeah also going to join a boxing gym when i get some more cash. Just bought a car.

Props on the physical improvements. It's a slow but steady climb if you keep at it. I've been lifting in the gym pretty regularly 3-4 times a week for the past year and I'm pretty impressed with my gains. I'd still like to lose 10-15 more pounds of fat, but I enjoy drinking beer too much so I'm kind of resigned to being strong with a little extra baggage. I'd like to think being a father has earned me that right.

I Haven’t but have been debating joining Iman’s program. From what I know you don’t even necessarily need to know how. Just some more than the prospect, and then you hire a contractor.

Yea this to me seems like the wrong way to go about it, because you never really have control of the process. That said here I am not doing it so props to you!!

Great to hear from you, and that you sound so strong. <br><br>Because I am a mom, I’ll only caution you to be careful replacing one addiction with another and overdoing it with what could become an overly obsessive health kick. <br><br>Not that we need a daily check in, but your contributions have been thoughtful and valuable, so if you can provide some insight every now and again, that will be appreciated.<br><br>Proud of your grit and determination. :)

Good shit Sadness. Love the intention towards your health.

One thing I've continuously found in times of despair whether it's a shitty quarter with work, marital issues, etc etc...When these funks happen, it's because I have not been consistently going to the gym or working out in some fashion daily.

You can't convince me otherwise...the best thing for your mental/spiritual health is prioritizing your physical health.

working out and cutting out alcohol has a clinically proven success rate thirty times hire than any anti-depressant.

Hardest part is actually doing it, nice work!
