Can you give us some examples?

WAit u took this job right?

And is that real life? U said ur not qualified for the position? I legit do not understand this play. Pls explain.

i interviewed for it on Wednesday.

after reading some 'qualifications' of the job description, i just felt i wasnt suited for the job. it also stated i needed a bachelors lol. i wrote him an email saying i am not qualified, then he told me to call him. guess he really wants me on his team, but im not taking it anymore. i just got a pay raise for being with Starbuck's for 5 years. yall can call it an inflation raise, but im happy with my wage atm w/ overtime pay. also the assistant manager starts at around 50k+. that is my goal for the new year. become one then manage a store.

im still selling off most of my shoes for a car. i will need one come next year and i need one for Vermont. Killington, here I come.

so i was warming up for squats, and something pfacking happened while i was warming up. lets just call it knee pain. almost felt like a band of fiber/tissue was dislocated in my right knee everytime i went down for the eccentric. didn't want to risk anything so i just stopped warming up at 185.

What was the position of this job u interviewed for that required a BA? And what was the starting salary?

In rather stark honesty, I think is solid advice for the sigma male community. No hate. They need more focus and drive.


N1,

Honestly, super happy for you son. I think that career choice is awesome and gonna lead you down a much happier and healthier path allowing you to be the best you.

Real estate/property management/etc. was around 40-50k, but was told I would be traveling a lot. After car payments, gas, insurance, city sticker, and parking sticker, I’m probably making around the same as I do now. Just not worth it imo.

Ain’t gonna lie, the benefits ain’t too bad at my work. I am covered for health and dental. I also got another 8 shares of our stock today which vests in the coming year.

Bruh I was born for this. I honestly do not enjoy much in life. I work, I gym, I watch sports, then go to bed. I actually enjoy my routine.

So today I skipped the gym. My back still in pain from aching my back 2 weeks ago. Today though it was acting up. It is definitely bone/spinal pain. Might need to get it checked out. Hurts when I press on my mid spine. Almost feels like a bone bruise. Hope it ain’t a disc or of the likes, that would really suck. Resting up and hopefully I’ll be good to go on Wed.

Getting old, in a few years you will be pushing 40. Then time to cardio and hit up Chicago marathon.

Sad what it is become. My shoulder injury slowed me down. Was gonna attempt 275. That’s 2 wheels and a 25. I’ve seen guys that weigh 215+ struggle with that. Maybe bc I’m in a commercial gym, but still more advanced than most lifters.

Then now my back is gone. I think I slipped a disc or something. Might head into doctors for an X-ray. Wont show much, probably need MRI. Also my right knee is also ailing. Everytime I kneel down to restock the milk at work, I forget I injured it and the pain kicks in….

Funny how these injuries is all through the bench press. DL not even once.

Need a ABPxLoco Pt. 3. It’s been 3 years already. Have you found another ABP? sad if so. Could really use the money atm to down pay on a car.

Finally lifted last night after taking nearly 2 weeks off for my back. Gotten better, but still pain. Didn’t want to arch my back any more, so I Larsen press for now. Knee is still fhucked. Warmed up with a plate and 2nd set in my knee acted up. Did research and seeing it might be a quad problem that connects to knee. Weird.

Did ohp but back started to hurt bc I tend to arch there too lol. Staying away from that. Might be just DL and Larsen press for now.

welcome back playa, we love you bro, quit treating us like fans and come back

^lolol

Wow where has the time gone?

My backs been healed since my last update and benching regular now, no larsen. Also my right knee pain is gone too. Don’t know what that was about, but we back.

I been snowboarding a lot lately but since I live in Midwest, most resorts are closed or will be within a week or so. In January I went to Minnesota and stayed at Lutsen resort. Very nice place, but their terrain park is possibly the worst in the Midwest lol. I think they are known for groomers which I must say is great. Their double black diamonds are crazy.

Anyways my lifts has finally started to take off and maybe by mid year I can be stronger than I ever has been. My shoulder is pretty much healed but still have this weird pain whenever I warm up but then subsides. Very weird.

This was my work out today:



Need to go back to Mike T. training but would be taxing on me. Been working over time lately bc gen z kids don’t like to work. On Monday I worked 14.25 hours between 2 stores. My district manager knows all too well about me and I think I’m headed into management soon.

See you soon, eating my chicken and rice and getting rdy for long day tomorrow where I stay after for 2 hours after close and deep clean the whole facking store lol.

11pm to 1 am and a ton of volume. The king is back, baby. Love it.

Awesome. Glad you decided to start climbing the corp ladder. Soon you'll get to **** on someone else to wake up before dawn!

For us wagies, up before the sun 9 months outta the year and perptetually out of circadian rythmn, not from being up too late but too early, is the norm. I can't even conceive of a world where i go to bed when tired and wake up when refreshed. Just part of the grind. Part of the purpose or smth idk.

Pretty sick WIM to work that much and lift that heavy - glad to see you're back grinding your porpoise.

The kid has heart, that's fosho.

A bit aspy but good worker.

Yeah I used to go like 3pm-5pm, but got sick of influencers in their gym shark gear not even lifting and wasting my time. Disgusting really. I now go after 11p most days and it’s great. The true lifters come out during that time. Not being racist but jacked black dudes love those hours. I see them every night here in the city and it’s great.


Yeah bro my manager even told me my work ethic is elite level. He told me I need to delegate more because he had a meeting with the baristas and they told him I do everything. I think he’s been talking to my district manager and trying to make me a manager soon.


Yeah I don’t cap. Lifting is like a daily routine or else I’ll get mad. Like not brushing your teeth. I’ll take double shifts and still go in for the love.

Wow today was great. Underestimate my single at deadlift as usual. 435x3 felt easy so tried 450. Bench I overshot but whatever.



Also who ever thought making plates a hexagon shape is a moron.

Not to be aspie, but why are your hours totaled at 7.07 & 7.15 (and not higher?). Something like you get an automatic 10 minute break every few hours but don’t get paid for it?

Welcome back

Clock out for 30 min lunch

I remember back in the day, spending hours crafting replies to a young ABP. Most people didn't get it.

They drifted in from their yuppie simp lives, sipped their pumpkin spice lattes while they sat in front of their macbooks, eagerly mocking the ABP. Some even mocked me and the believers. Some were well meaning, but you could tell they didn't believe. Why? Because it takes one to know one. It takes heart to see heart. Sometimes you had to read between the lines. Sometimes you had to read the sms screenshots between the sms screenshots.

Where are they now? The naysayers. The chest-thumpers. The know-it-alls. The dong measurers. The yuppies with hard words, soft bodies, and soft minds. They drifted away to the next quick fix for their fragile egos.

The jmakins, the El Diablos, the marknfws.

But some of us could see the potential all along. Some of us could see the heart, because we have the heart. Some of us made the investment, and kept on dollar cost averaging, even when it looked hopeless on the outside.

Look at our ABP now. Crushing it. Slingin coffee like a boss, maybe a literal boss soon. On that porpoise. No time for your simp bullshit. Not responsible for your feelings.

ABP is the only influencer the world needs. As long as ABP is around, the lunch pail days are not over yet.
