Anyone else been sluggish with their training?

[wutangnomo]

For the past few months I've been very sluggish. The last 3-4 weeks have been pure crap as I've worked out a total of maybe 3-4 times in that period. I've also let my diet go down the tube completely and have lost a ton of weight. I haven't been eating every 3 hours and probably get in 3 unbalanced meals a day. Lots of personal shit going on that's why.

Anyone else going through something like this where you just let yourself slip? Knock some sense into me bros!

maybe its cause its not exciting for you anymore, i personally look forward to going to the gym, i think about what im going to be doing the whole day before i do it. you need to change it up so it doesnt get so damned boring, plus, i find that when i make gains, i dont like it as much as when im struggling bc im so determined to get stronger and bigger, maybe your not challengin yourself enough

same here on the sluggishness.

i LOVE the gym and thats all i think about and a good workout means a good day the nex tday bot for the past week and a half ive been sluggish and cant push myself and tap into that inner strength afte ra couple of sets.... (ill get 5x5 easy for the first two sets and then fall appart for example).

its probably because i recently started wrestling twice a week and then with the hard ass school program im in i have alot of work...i was gunna take a week off but first im going to try making myself from a 4 day split to a 3 day split and see how tha tworks...

today i actually had a pretty good day tho

Get your shit together, wutangnomo

Maybe you need to lighten the weights for a while and work on form. You can't push yourself to the limits all the time.

Thanks bros! To be honest I LOVE hitting the gym. I am always most energized towards the END of my workout and can easily stay in the gym for 10 hours if I wanted (don't worry I don't train that long lol). It's like when I'm in the gym I don't want to leave because I forget about everything in the world and just zone out into my own little paradise. To be honest the past few months have been mentally draining due to female issues. I learned that my now 'ex' lied to me about a good 80% of our relationship. I pretty much wasted nine months of my life with her all for lies, deceit, and games. What a fuckin waste!

The weird thing is that I'm falling apart now. I haven't really been training for the past few months, yet my right knee and ankle are hurting now, my back is hurting, and my neck is stiff as well. I guess the good part is that my left shoulder is no longer sore from benching, but why am I getting these aches and pains now that I've stopped working out??

You guys are right I do need to change things up. I'm going to do a full-body workout Mon, Wed, and Fri. I have done these a few times and I love them. It's a nice change as opposed to a conventional split. I will ease up on the weight and slowly work back into things.

This is not an AOL chat room brother. You might want to post something useful or risk being banned. Something to think about. The posters on here will be glad to help you, and if you can contribute even better. No room for this waste though.

Only during an injury brother!! Ive had plenty of shitty days over the years, and weeks/months. Ive always forced myself to go through it unless I physically cannot. I know how shit can pile up! Its so important to be consistant though. I know if I miss a beat, everything goes to shit. I wouldnt let it slip to far away. Maybe change your routine, put in some exercises that motivate you to improve. Almost anything is better then nothing! Best of luck getting back into it! Go KILL THAT SHIT!!

Hopefully things will start goin better for you amigo.

Maybe watch a really sad movie or something. I do that sometimes and although it sounds like the exact opposite of what you'd want to do, it always makes me feel better in a weird way lol, cuz I know my life's not that shitty, ya know?

Whatever you do, keep working out. Don't let it slip. All that progress just goes down the tube and I know this from experience.

Lift, be thankful you don't have colon cancer or something and start eating again!

Best of luck man.
