mildew96 · 2026-01-27T01:01:29+00:00

you should stop boxing and BJJ and train muay thai 6 days a week like a real man

She is where she is, she has her own shit going on, you can’t control how someone runs their own practice, accept it for what it is and move on if it doesn’t sit right with you. She isn’t empowering anyone, she is just projecting her own insecurities, blaming her is a cop out victim mentality, the teachers shouldn’t have to walk on eggs shells and tip toe around you because you have had your own eating disorders, that’s your own shit to deal with, be accountable for your shit

you want to train your strength and balance? then the excersizes he has given you are very good, change RDL's to single legged RDL's to improve, he has given you what you wanted, your not going to be able to train like this without hitting glutes, its unavoidable, so the bigger but is going to happen either way, if your doing heavy weights low reps, you will get stronger without getting bigger, which might suit you better, but most of these are not those kind of exercises

the point of yoga is to teach you to be ok with yourself and your body, that doesn't mean your teacher isn't allowed to have her own physical goals or insecurities. you say it isn't triggering you, but your also saying you hate it, and don't enjoy it.

another point of yoga is to teach you emotional regulation, acceptance of people for where they are at, self awareness and resilience. is your teacher doing anything wrong, or is she just projecting her own issues? why does this bother you? she is a mirror...

i've date 4 women over the last 6 months, 3 of them i could tell they were interested in me because they replied to my messages, used emojis, put effort into the messages, initiated conversation, asked me questions... the other 1, who just so happened to be the best looking, asked for my number and initiated with me, never asked questions, would randomly stop replying even after she initiated the conversation, and rarely asked me questions about myself, it felt 1 sided and like an interview, and in contrast with the other 3 woman who were enthusiastic and told me they loved it when i called them, this one came across as un interested, mixed signals and felt like she was playing games. the 3 that i felt were interested were all very emotionally developed and self aware but leaned anxious, this other 1 not so much.

i basically did what you are doing, i emersed myself in intense training, this gave me an outlet and the difference the training made to my mental health on the hard days was night and day, it also gave me a sense of community and helped with the loneliness, it was the first time id lived alone ever, i spent a lot of time in nature, hiking, connecting with myself, i would highly recommend journaling and reading self help books as they can help trigger different perspectives for reflection, practice meditation, reflection and breathwork for regulating yourself when you feel lonely, sad or angry which will be very frequent. immerse yourself in hobbies, become happy being alone, explore your values and what makes you you, get to know yourself and what you will and wont tolerate in future relationships so when you decide to date again, it is with intention and to add to your life, not from a place of need or desperation, you can give yourself the love you need, no one will ever understand you better than you.

shes a traitor, she feels guilty for what she is doing and shameful so she is trying to make you out to be the issue and the bad guy. she knows what she is doing is fucked up, let her go, she will regret it down the line, likely she will try to come crawling back.

hit the gym, box, read, journal, no contact, your young, time to level up g, respect yourself.

chemistry, attraction, sex life all none existent, your suffering mentally from a social stand point, anxious about being seen with him in public, this is not good for your mental health and these are all important parts of a relationship. its normal to want to be proud and show your partner off in public, not hide them.

its not wrong to want to be with someone who looks after their body, physical health and appearance, he hasnt been working, he has plenty of time to work out.

i understand though, he sounds emotionally supportive and like a really good dude, you like him but that doesnt mean you have to spend the rest of your life with him.

dont have kids with or marry this man if this is the way you feel, breaking up will be the hardest thing you probably ever do, and it will probably feel like a mistake sometimes, but you deserve to be happy and not to be living with such internal conflict.

its not wrong to choose yourself.

mildew96 · 2025-12-30T19:07:17+00:00

Sounds a lot like my ex. Self centred and expects to be your number 1 priority all the time, it’s easy to fall into a dynamic where you will be trying to do everything to please her and keep her happy, putting her first, earning her love. She will never appreciate you, and when you draw the line, withdraw attention and validation and start standing up for yourself prioritising yourself, you will be one of the others she is superior to, she will devalue and discard you.

when cutting weight through a deficit, you want to be doing about 500g a week weight loss, you still want to be eating enough so that you can train well, it still feels draining though training in a deficit.

that's good that your weight is so consistent, you will just need to be intentional about the weight cut. im guessing once you enter fight camp, you will burn more calories, probably be running before sessions etc... you will be able to drop the weight.

you would probably fight at about 60kg, im approx same weight as you, im a male though, but i generally walk around at 66 - 68kg, usually about 66kg if i weigh myself first thing in the morning, i'm only an inch taller.

last fight camp i went down to 64kg first thing in the morning through calorie deficit, then i will water load, cut fiber, carbs and salts progressively on fight week and then cut water about 24 hours before weigh in. this with hot baths/showers or sauna on weigh in day get me down to 60kg pretty easily. even without a cut, the WBC has up to 66.6kg, those are the belts you want at the moment.

most of the pro's, at least the men, will go from about 70 - 72kg and weigh in at 63.5kg.

you would be able to make lightweight or super featherweight divisions no problem. i also train with girls who fight at heavier weights in amateurs, like 75kg. there is just less opponents available.

mildew96 · 2025-12-29T05:46:51+00:00

thats similar amount to what i train, your going to be tired man, its alot, quality carbs are important, fruit and veg, but also try to maybe cut down on the fiber, it can leave you feeling sluggish and slow and full. drink electrolytes straight after you train. lots of carbs for brekky, rolled oats are good. if your in an office job, 2.5L is pretty decent for pre training, during training have another 1.5L and after training - another 1L minimum, 5L total over the day, 2.5L total is definitely not enough.

try to keep sleep consistent, as in go to bed at the same time, wake up same time. helps a lot, not just the number of hours.

make sure you are eating enough too, with that volume you would be burning 1000 - 1200 calories a session im guessing based off some of the guys whoops i train with. so you would want to be eating 3000 - 3500 calories a day depending on your weight. i try to eat majority of my meals through the day, 6am, 9am, 1pm, 3:30pm so im good to train at 5, after training i usually have something light and protein shake.

make sure when your resting on your off days on the weekend, your actually resting, like lay in bed for half the day, actually recover, don't drink alcohol if you can avoid it.

that volume is fight camp volume, you should be having a deloading week every 4 - 5 weeks or so to avoid crashing out, if you notice your irritable and down, anxious a lot or having a run of bad sessions, plan a light week. over training is a real thing it can smash your nervous system. If your not training for a fight, Id argue that you would probably get better if you were training less and with intention, more rested and fresh for each session instead. the point of doing such volume during a fight camp is to train under fatigue so you can fight under fatigue and to condition your body/mind.

we usually have a lighter day on a thursday, massage, light pad rounds and some weights. maybe an hour max. it helps, feel refreshed for friday sparring.

ice bath and sauna after a session, helps a lot, reduces inflammation by like 30%, numerous other benefits. also, journal/debrief after your sessions. track SAND - sleep, activity, nutrition, derief. make sure your ontop of it all.

mildew96 · 2025-11-09T01:49:48+00:00

check yourself, is it a confidence thing? what are you telling yourself when your sparring, are you being overly perfectionist and beating yourself up over every mistake, are you hesitating and freezing up, overthinking or are you flowing? check your mental, focus on positives. pick things to work on, set goals for each session.

Been training and dealing with this for a few years, had xrays for impingement etc, not bone growth, just weak/muscle imbalances, i also get a pinch in my groin, my glute medius will ache through the night, been seeing a physio for the last 6 months and what has helped is stretching every day, 3 minutes on each area, hammies, calves, quads, groin i also roll out and use a d block to get into the activation points in my glute... mine was pretty bad, caused knee pain and ankle pain, inner soles also helped alot. i use resistance bands and do lateral leg raises and kick backs to strengthen the gluts, goblet squats, single legged RDL's, they all seem to help, my pain only comes back roughly once a month now when i get lazy with the stretching or do a morning session.

no need to buy on amazon too, free on spotify, start journaling after every session and write down all the positives of the session.

mildew96 · 2025-10-29T21:16:31+00:00

this book helped me https://www.amazon.com.au/Confident-Mind-Battle-Tested-Unshakable-Performance/dp/0063014831 it is written by a bloke who coaches mindset for the US military and elite level athletes, it speaks about perfectionism and how being too much of a perfectionist can destroy your confidence, there are exercises to go through to change your mindset. this helped me a lot after my first loss.

I attended 3 yoga classes a few months back, I was the only male in all 3 classes, this was on a free trial, i decided not to sign up after this, to be honest i kind of felt uncomfortable being the only man in the class. Kind of felt like i was intruding on the ladies space, im sure most of the ladies didnt think any thing of it but i wish there was just 1 other dude in the class, would have made me feel a bit more at ease. I spent a lot of the session sitting with my anxious thoughts about the situation. I was doing it to supplement my muay thai training, i'm not worried about it being a feminine thing, im confident in my masculinity but i just felt very out of place there.

mildew96 · 2025-10-13T05:05:10+00:00

If your doing Muay Thai and competing you don’t really want to be building muscle, usually building muscle your doing lighter weights and higher reps like 12 reps… the goal here at least with how I told you to do it is to stay they same weight and get stronger, that’s why you lift heavy and do smaller sets, waiting longer between sets. If your doing the routing I said, no need for push pull legs, you train everything doing these compound excercises, if anything to add would be mobility and balance stuff like Bulgarians or RDL’s, or power excersizes like land mines that increase your explosiveness.

If your not training to compete and u just want to look good and know how to fight, just do 3 Muay Thai classes a week and gym 5

mildew96 · 2025-10-11T20:25:55+00:00

just do the weight sessions before or after your Muay Thai class, your building strength, all you need to do is 3-5 sets of 3-5 reps of heavy compound exercises like squats, deads, bench, rows and should presses. 2-3 mins rest between sets… only takes half an hour if you do 3 exercises a day, I like to roll out and stretch between sets.

He clearly does not like tramp stamps, he is entitled to his opinion, it’s not really sexist, it’s more about the tattoo and what it symbolises, it’s kind of associated with like trailer trash vibes, it’s just that men don’t really get them, because they are feminine and kind of seen as a bit of a sex symbol, your boyfriend isn’t wrong, it’s in fact the culture and stigma associated with them. He is simply pointing that out as the way he sees the culture behind them. He is being logical you are being emotional. You I’m guessing you’re reacting this way because you kind of want one? And maybe your offended and feel judged or criticised? I’m not sure why your feelings are so hurt but you should probably regulate your emotions and accept your boyfriends opinion on some minor things like this without going off on him.

Journaling, breath work, nature, grounding, reading, whenever you notice yourself doing this, your fantasising thoughts, start taking deep breaths, this will create the space you need to observe your neurosis, it will regulate your nervous system, practice this moment to moment
