Quote:I'm experiencing the same thing. Progressive overload is much easier than it's been in the past, mainly because of my mindset. To me, strength (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, etc.) is a masculine trait. As my inner strengths increase, the outer strength seems to naturally follow. I really hope to see this aspect of PM infused into AM7.
Definately agree. I can't comprehend how anyone could try to say that strength isn't a masculine trait.. but somehow there's a whole load of nutcases trying to tell us that bullshit. It's funny cos I 'know' about progressive overload, but wasn't necessarily doing it for ages. Last time I followed it consistently I got good results, and PM seems to have pushed me to do a program where I can do it gradually and that suits what I want to develop.
I definately hope there is stuff im AM7 to help with workouts and physique, but i'm guessing it won't be in there directly. Personally I think that having a good physique and being functionally strong and functional physically in general can't be seperated from fully developing your masculinity. That also includes learning how to protect yourself for me.
Quote:I had this happen yesterday. For the most part, I'm very relaxed on PM. But I despise being at any place or any event where large numbers of people gather. Well, there I was. As I walked through the crowds I felt myself projecting a semi-aggressive 'this is my space...stay out of my way and don't fuck with me' vibe.
It turns out that the inner badass I wrote about early on can show up if he feels called upon. Superman
From past experience, I know the "tides of change" can be frustrating. But it indicates that you're making progress. Keep it up man.
I haven't had it too much, it was only briefly that day. I do notice my thoughts are more aggressive at times, like thinking of situations and i'm imagining myself acting more aggressively.
In general the calm feeling you mentioned is what PM has been for me. I actually like it, still i've observed things that show I am projecting masculinity such as when I mentioned I seen myself on a screen when I walked into the supermarket and I didn't recognize myself for a split second and my walk was noticably different, though i'm not really consicously aware of those things and alot of the time feel pretty much the same.
Thanks, i'm trying, hit a period yesterday and today I was close to giving it up. I'll expand on that in another post.
