There's NO shame in having to do AM multiple times, Shannon has done AM many times HIMSELF, in the end, progress is progress, it doesn't matter what program it is...I think a lot of guys have an insecurity of having to do AM more than once before jumping to a magnet, it's like admitting they're "less" than others. Guys, we're all here for improvement, improvement is improvement, whether it's a few runs of AM before being able to handle the magnets properly, or BAMM 2.0. Don't compare yourselves to others, apples to oranges, different people, different lives, different upbringings, different traumas...improvement is improvement...progress is progress. If you advance to a magnet and you don't master AM, it won't work as well as you want it to. Remember Shannon's house analogy.
This is absolutely right. Admittedly, I'm one of those that wants to rush to see results, and even during my 2nd round of AM, towards the end of stage 1 I have been wondering if I think it'll be worth it. But after reading this I know it will be, and am determined to not only finish it this time but maybe even do a 3rd round before I go to WM or SM.
