Week 2 October in Review
* Submit paper to supervisor by Monday - didn't happen.
* Complete 8 new analysis tasks by Monday - didn't happen.
* Finish 2 job applications by Monday - didn't happen.
* 100 approaches in a day on Monday - got it done.
* Relax on Tuesday - pretty sure I worked but took things a bit easy.

So overall, not the best week but I did accomplish a milestone. Submitted my first job application today. Technically 4 minutes late (or 3h4m late depending on definitions), but I think it was actually a pretty great cover letter. Very nonstandard though so we'll see if I get shortlisted.

Week 3 October in Review (Work, work, work)
* Analyze V68 and V69 sims (include .false. bug sims)
* Tcutoff analysis: do it.
* Contact HF mentor(s)
* Revamp analysis to deal with BC.
Might add/revise this tomorrow.

Week 3 October in Review
* Analyze V68 and V69 sims (include .false. bug sims)
-> done
* Tcutoff analysis: do it.
-> done
* Contact HF mentor(s)
-> decided not to do, procrastinated too long :(
* Revamp analysis to deal with BC.
-> have not done yet.

Week 4 October in Review
* I broken down slightly with my checklists so I don't remember entirely what I did Thursday, Friday although I recall it being quite productive. This week my #1 work goal is to get an application done and I've been having some pretty bad writer's block. At least bulking has been much more successful since I woke up earlier the past few days. Had a pound of chicken today which was delicious. I almost never eat food right after I cook it.

Remainder of October Goals
* #1 = finish application!
* #2 = average 3k+ calories this week
* #3a = If elbow feels okay, try 295 lb deadlift
* #3b = If elbow feels okay, try 182.5 lb bench

Gents, I've been deported to covid jail for the past ~week. Two of my roommates tested positive, thought for sure I'd have it too, but I tested negative.

Nonetheless, my roommates have it not too bad - one has lost his sense of smell and taste and otherwise has it like a bad cold. Other roommate has had no symptoms so far.

So I've decided that worrying about covid is nearly over for me. I'll be careful the two weeks before I go home to see my family but when I'm back in 2021 I'm resuming travel - at least one trip per month. That's when I'll really be trying to get laid.

Besides not being allowed to go outside more than once a day, it's actually been quite nice in covid jail. With no roommates I've had no distractions all weekend. I've now submitted 6 job applications (34+ to go) and have a really nice daily schedule going: workout, eat, shower, ukelele+french, work 2-3 hours, meditate, work 2-3 hours, eat + relax and sleep.

The most substantial improvement to my workflow has been eating only twice a day; it's a lot easier for me to pack on Calories than GOMAD and my breakfast is digested by the time I'm done with my morning routine.

I'm also several days into no porn (forget when that started; staying accountable with MarkVegas (not sure which Mark he is here)) and started one fap per week. Also two days into TV only once per week.

This was meant to be preamble to my month in review + projection but I'll leave it there for now. Hope you all are gunning to complete your 2020 goals!

Hmm, guess I forgot to hit submit this morning!

Long story short, did two photoshoots last week. The cheaper one I don't think I got a single usable photo from (but maybe Andy will find one that's salvageable). The ones posted below are my top 10, I get to keep 5 (which the photographer will edit). I definitely have a my top 1 or 2 but let me know your top 5.

Ayy! Finally managed to stay logged in. Think it was a firewall issue at my parents' house. Although I also have just been crazy busy for the last 3-4 weeks since getting back from there and haven't tried since I got back.

Hit 1000 pushups in a day. Next goal is 100 consecutive push-ups in under two minutes. Let's go!

@enjoyablehat, I cheesed it - 5 sessions of 200 reps throughout the day. I did 5 reps every minute on the minute for 40 minutes for the sessions (except the last session I was in a bit of a rush to beat midnight so I did some larger rep sets).

Anway, 100 pushups in under 2 minutes is the real deal - no way to cheese it. I injured my elbow + shoulder which sucks. It's been 3-4 weeks now and I still feel it on certain movements - like sumo deadlift rack pulls today. Think it's related to the grip.

However, I've figured out a pretty good arm warmup I think will help - just need to do that before EVERY workout (leg day requires grip too).

==============

Today was a planned day off and so I reviewed my goals for the year and came up with sensible breakdowns for some of them. But holy shit I wrote down way too many gym goals. Some of them I don't even care about now. I already hit a couple of them so I got that sweet, sweet satisfaction of crossing them off.

Still, I didn't write down any girls goals for the year. And after my February trip to Miami, I'm dying to fuck a hot girl. It's been too long.

So I'm declaring that one of my goals for my trip to Austin this month will be an insta-lay from cold approach. Let's go!

@enjoyablehat, still having elbow (likely tricep tendon) and shoulder issues so sadly out of pushup training now. I'll get back to you when I get back to it.

Austin Trip
No insta-lay but definitely had a solid lead at the club with @Ed_ and @joe_ronimo. Had an awesome time hanging out with the two of them. Super pumped Ed got his first cold approach lay too.

For this month's trip I'm going to go easier on the budget and just take a drive to Chicago. I can stay for free with family there so the only major expense will be the paid photoshoot - going to make sure we hit up the "bean" (tourist spot), maybe also the tower with a glass floor I always see girls profile photos of (but I think you have to look small in it so might be better for girls than guys). Also my relatives have a puppy I can take photos with so some super solid photo options.

Going to try a instalay in Chicago too. Definitely learned a few things approaching with Ed. The goal will be to find a Trader Joes bathroom I can pull a girl to and then see if I can lead them in there (only if they're down to follow obviously).

One minor goal this month is to post on the forums more - I really enjoyed hanging out with Ed and Joe but felt like I've somewhat left the community since I've been so absent from here + GLL. On the plus side I have been crazy productive but there's definitely benefits from reflecting and I haven't kept up with personal journaling (other than the bare minimum keeping track of hours / goal progress).

So catch you all soon :)

Got my first covid shot today. Definitely was a bit nervous. I might've had some sides (light-headedness, racing heartbeat) but hard to say if that was the shot or the fact that I had half a beer right after with my roommates, played hockey, and didn't eat basically anything until 9pm.

Going to get back on track bulking tomorrow. Also going to do a leg day since I have no excuse there.

I'll plan to do a post early in the day tomorrow or Sunday as I still need to schedule my month and hash out my specific goals. So stay tuned on that :)

Photo Experiments
In general, I prefer a systematic approach with sufficient feedback to measure progress in basically anything I do.

For photos, there's photofeeler but that really only judges one photo on its own.

I've been toying with the idea of doing boosts in different cities around the world on Tinder. I imagine it'll be difficult to have a large enough sample size to average variability down to the point to make significant comparisons between trials. Still something I may pursue in the future.

The plus side of Hinge is the potential for feedback on individual photos. The downside is the potential for girls liking the word prompts instead.

So, I'm going to work on coming up with super bland (but ideally not turn-off) word prompts on Hinge to use it as an alternative to photofeeler.

Hopefully I'll do my first trial tomorrow with the highest ranked photos on photofeeler (though I have a feeling some that rated lower will do better but we'll see).

Fun fact is the tinder actually keeps track of how succesful your photos are if you have Smart Photos turned on, so if you can reach this information, you can get an exact percentage of girl that will swipe right on an exact photo.
The issue is it's hidden behind tinder API, and even then only easily accesible for photos of girls you match with.

I need to finally dig deeper into it.

@Lostcause, I had no idea about that actually. That'll be super useful. Do you have a script you can share? I saw there's an unofficial github API I'll check out but if you could transplant your experience to my brain and save me some time I'd appreciate it :)

Also, if you're just mentioning it exists and haven't used it before then I'll make sure to do a detailed post about how I get it working (when I tackle that).

Photo Experiments
Okay, I've selected my top scoring photofeeler photos to try first on hinge. The idea is to change location every ~24 hours and see what gets the most likes. I'll cycle out what gets 10 likes first to find the runner-up etc to top 6.

For prompts, I've started out with what I think are decent ones but I'm going to switch to the following (which I saw on a girl's profile) which I think are more bland so better for getting photos liked):

1) I'll brag about you to my friends if: You're super smart, funny and my dog likes you.
2) My most irrational fear: New Jersey
3) I'll keep the moving to Germany thing unless that gets liked too much.

I'm also going to keep track of what messages I send on likes to see how they work (and to avoid just doing the same one ad infinitum that might not work well). I'll send 3+ messages a day.

Today I did 2 of
Hey NAME, I dig those glasses. On a scale from Paul Blart to Alex Honnold how adventurous are you?

And 1 of
Hey NAME, you seem cool. If you could only drink beer, wine, or tequila for the rest of your life, what would you choose?

Already got one like on my top rated photo. More stats tomorrow.

=====
More on photos: Order
1) B&W doors: 8.3
2) Surfing: 7.9
3) 50 shades of white: 7.2
4) suit: 6.7
5) dog: 7.1 (but I don't like it, pretty artificial, will upgrade dog pic on trip this month!)
6) B&W copenhangen: 6.6

[EDIT: images excised next day]

If it's of any help to you, here's my humble code for logging and plotting your matches and messages. Unlike the unofficial api repo it's not in C# tho.
https://github.com/Re4derTheGlorious/TinTool
IIRC there is a "score" field (for each photo) in response to request for possible nearby matches. The issue is you potentialy need to make another account and find your main account from there for it to work.

Cheers dude! Really appreciate the share. Probably won't get into Tinder stuff until the weekend but I definitely will check out your code at some point.

@Lostcause, one quick question tho, bit confused: you said your code isn't in C# but then what language is it? Google was suggesting *.cs is typically C#...

Photo Experiments
I'll have to add this data to a spreadsheet, for now it's just in a note on my phone. I've had 3 likes in NYC west village location w/in 24 hours of setting it there. I'm keep track of the time of the like, what they liked, and my opinion of their attractiveness. I didn't send any likes/messages today. Will switch locations tomorrow (likely) and should send some likes.

Getting Meta On What I Want & How To Achieve My Ideal Life
Yesterday I spent the first hour of my day visualizing what an ideal day in the arbitrary future might look like.

I imagine waking up to the smell of my beautiful wife cooking breakfast. Morning sex in the kitchen and a steamy shower. At this point I've traveled to a few bucket list destinations, have 7-10 kids who are off making their own mark on the world, and am creating my own legacy with my company and mentoring. Beyond my legacy project, I work on whatever interest me most at the time (likely solving outstanding math/physics puzzles). I've achieved mastery not only in strength but also financial security and I'm skilled at all the things I do.

My wife has a high sex drive (or at least high drive to please me), enjoys cooking, is elegant, enjoys traveling and appreciates new experiences. She's fit and takes care of her appearance. Moreover, she's self-assured enough that we can do our own thing, sleep in separate beds etc. And she's Christian or converts. I've e

When I set down to write down what a schedule of that day would entail, it didn't sound all that glamorous after the morning.
  • 9:30am - 10:30am: To do list + plan for the day. Deal with emails.
  • 10:30am - 12pm: Read book/papers
  • 12pm - 1pm: Lunch
  • 1pm - 3pm: Work on X
  • 3pm - 3:30pm: Snack
  • 3:30pm - 5pm: Work on Y
  • 5pm - 7pm: Gym + commute home
  • 7pm - 8pm: Dinner.
  • 8pm - 9pm: salsa / activity with wife/friends
  • 9pm - 11pm: sex
  • 11pm: sleep
[*] Overall, such a schedule doesn't feel like it accomplishes that much.
[*] There just isn't enough time in one day.

I ruminated on those points further and developed what I'll discuss tomorrow:
