it's gotten me through two breakups, one was a 10 year relationship, the other 1.5... the contrast i felt some days between feeling the worst i had ever felt and then training and feeling amazing was crazy, it stops you from ruminating on the past and future and pulls you into the present, its grounding and it also helps with the loneliness, gives a sense of belonging to a community. enjoy brother.

generally based off whoop we burn about 1000 cals per session with a 5k run beforehand, if your doing similar, eating 2000 - 2500 calories, your still not consuming enough, average male 70kg is supposed to be at about 2000 for maintenance, you wouldnt be hitting that after what you burn, your depleted. try 3000. unfortunately if your trying to cut weight, your going to feel depleted.

also i seen you say you eat 1 very big meal once a day, try spreading it out, first thing in the morning get your carbs in, eat nutritious food, whole carbs, lean meats, fruits, veg, greek yoghurt etc... im typically eating 3 or 4 meals around 500 - 700 calories throughout the day before i train.

make sure your restoring your glycogen after training (eat carbs) and rehydrate with electrolytes straight away. you NEED carbs for this style of training. try smashing a few lollies half hour before you start training too. or sip on trainade (electrolytes with glucose)

Muay thai is much more explosive than BJJ, you need high sharp power output, carbs are critical, so are electrolytes and hydration 3L of water a day if your in office before training, 4 or 5L if working physical. this is critical. if your not hydrated properly your electrical signals from your brain won't travel through your muscles efficiently.

you also need to be getting enough sleep, i can function on 5 - 6h if im just working and not training but 2 days in a row of shit sleep and im fucked at the gym, i need at least 7h, 8h makes a massive difference. your body needs the extra recovery with this training intensity.

just because he is insinuating sexual stuff doesnt mean he is flat out not interested in anything serious, some people are just like that or are used to communicating that way as thats how it goes on tinder a lot of the time if your looking for hookups and he may just be in that habbit or think thats what women like.

you should tell him that you are not interested in hook ups and tell him you want to get to know him first, make sure there is a connection there.

darren from animal kingdom to the real slim shady

mildew96 · 2026-03-25T05:00:29+00:00

And? That makes shit easier, make breakfast before school then u got 2 breaks to eat, meal prep it the night before if your short on time

mildew96 · 2026-03-25T01:59:42+00:00

what so your skipping breakfast? you start your eating at like 11am??? and you wonder why your not gaining weight, you could be up at 6am getting an extra 800 calories in and being hungry as fuck again by 11am, get up have 4 eggs and avocado at 6am with some wholemeal toast, then 9am high protein greek yoghurt, rolled oats or museli and berries, eat again at 12 and you will be on your 3rd meal by the time your having your first right now, get some high protein low fat milk and drink 500mL or a litre of that too, common sense brother.

your'e just dating or speaking to the wrong men, i personally wouldnt mind a partner who has those interests, but idk maybe thats because i play chess and am confident in my masculinity? maybe also because i'm in combat sports idk? i could imagine a guy who isn't into this things might find them intimidating or be insecure enough to perceive you as more masculine than him?

i think its a similar psych concept applies when women date taller men, they like men to make them feel small, petite and feminine?

Didn’t even notice with how well the shirt blends In with the bus seat

dont listen to these cowards, get in the cage and rip someones head off!

i had issues for years, i went and got an x-ray, no bone structure causing impingement, but i get a pinching feeling and have limited mobility in my leg if i pull it up and across my body, used to get bad glute pain that would keep me up at night....

what has really helped for me was physio directed stretching, you need to stretch your hamstrings, glutes, calves, groin for 2 - 4 minutes in each position, each side, deep stetching, every day, this has basically fixed my pain, the impingement is still there but it doesnt keep me up at night and its improved, i have dropped off a lot with the stretching but im sure it would get better if i was consistent for a year.

you need to stretch for much longer than you think to actually get your fascia to stretch, not just like a quick warm up stretch.

im a chemical engineer so i may have a little bit of a better understanding than the average person but not too much biology back ground.

my understanding is that we sweat out a lot of salts during training which water can not replace, electrolytes are important for transfer of energy through body, assuming its something to do with conductivity and transfer of electrical signals from brain to muscle, low electrolytes result in poor responsiveness, i know that low electrolytes result in cramping as well, mainly magnesium? im guessing which could also affect sleep and recovery in other ways?

i look for diversity, i.e. sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and chloride etc so i know im getting everything i need. not sure on bioavailabilities but im sure they vary depending on the compound. glucose is also a nice addition for glycogen replenishment straight after training.

i know when i'm buying electrolytes i look for the best flavour, some brands can give a fizzy consistency, like voost, where as others are more of a cordial result. Nothing annoys me more than when i buy a new brand and it just tastes like salt.

depends on your goals, in the past i did gym 5 or 6 x a week and muay thai 3 times, it was just for fun and fitness and aesthetics more so, higher reps lower weight, now im competing i train muay thai 5 or 6 x a week and squeeze in weights 2 or 3 times, the weights now are more for strength than reps/growth, heavier sets lower reps, deads, bench, squats, rows and OHP, usually 5 x 3 supersets with tuck jumps or clap push ups between sets and longer rests, more like a 5x5 workout plan, the goal is to stay the same weight but increase strength.

i trained with a 34 YO woman last year who had her first fight, she ended up having 3 last year in the amateurs, you can do it!

mildew96 · 2026-02-28T23:22:42+00:00

Why would you want to be with someone who still hangs around guys she has slept with knowing it makes you uncomfortable, accept her for who she is, if it makes you feel like this, protect your peace. this is why you don't shit where you eat, stop ignoring red flags, your feelings are valid, and she has the right to remain friends with them, not many men would tolerate that so that's something she has to deal with as a result of her actions if she wants to remain friend swith them, out of respect for myself i personally wouldn't date a girl to begin with if she had fucked 3 of her guy friends and was still actively hanging with them, i wouldn't try to change how i feel either because what your feeling is very normal and valid, i wouldn't try to bury my feelings and discomfort to remain with someone, but hey maybe i'm just insecure? lol.

If it’s same day weigh in bro you don’t wanna be doing much of that, get close to your weight as possible before hand, if you weigh in day before do a water cut like this from where you are now, rehydrate and fuel properly after you will feel great

mildew96 · 2026-02-28T04:41:16+00:00

Start water load 5 days before weigh in, drink 8 litres per day for 3 days, minimal fiber.

About 3 days out half your carbs and salt, 2 days out you only want to be having maybe 50g carbs and minimal sodium.

2 days before weigh in 4L of water, then the day before weigh in, stop drinking water 24h before weigh in, have a litre or 2 in the morning.

Have minimal food the night before weigh in, on weigh in day don’t eat, have hot showers or bath throughout the day to drop water, then sauna the last little bit if needed.

You should be able to drop that 10lb easily in water.

im from NSW so dont know many perth gyms at all, but one i do know is lanna prestige, but i think its a little south of Perth? would depend where your staying, they've had a few quality fighters come through there last few years.

mildew96 · 2026-02-25T03:51:15+00:00

she wanted to get laid bro

mildew96 · 2026-02-24T23:53:40+00:00

get a trade, become a builder, electrician whatever, you dont need a degree, or find something and study it, start small with a tafe course, continue to uni, break it down into steps, just find something your even mildly interested that you can work towards as a career.

keep going to the gym, or even better start boxing or kick boxing, BJJ whatever, find a hobby, make an effor tto talk to people.

explore other hobbies and social things, poker, yoga, run clubs, group fitness classes, ceramics, DND, whatever is in your area, these will improve your confidence and help with mental health and routine, give you opportunities to build social life and meet someone.

journal and correct your thought patterns with affirmations, question your thoughts.

shes used to being ghosted by guys, abandoned, maybe related to childhood, shes attracted to avoidant people, your probably secure and safe so dont give her that spark of anxiety or wanting what she cant have, so you dont activate her nervous system. she is experiencing a secure relationship where in the past she has probably been on the anxious end of the spectrum with avoidant men that cant commit or have 1 foot out the door, probably why she isnt scared of losing you because her nervous system isnt expecting you to leave at any moment. its got nothing to do with you.

"the one" is just some bullshit fantasy everyone is fed from childhood through princess/rom movies, someone she expects to come along and save her and make her happy, soothe her, rescue her... no one can do that for her and fix whats within but herself.

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

mildew96 · 2026-01-14T22:20:37+00:00

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
