I am so discouraged.

I have been out of the gym for a few months due to injury. Then I started back after I moved to NY but had to stop again for a few months due to some things going on. Now I am back full time, but it feels like I am starting completely over. My 2nd week back and today I did 5 sets of 5 reps with my body weight (135lb) on flat bench, and 2 sets of 10 reps with 45's on incline DB press. I feel like such a weakling. And I know everyone has to start somewhere but it is still embarrassing. O.K., I am done whining.

Time to stop whining and start lifting, weight is all relative to myself and progress is the true measure of success in my book....

My first two years stopped and started again and again.

injurys (not weights related, dislocations, broken bones) breakups, breakdowns, relocations, work-school-work (with 3-5 hours sleep max)....

I lost the first couple of years of training, and i am in my third year now....things couldnt be better.

i have trained constantly, eaten everything in site.

I have made more gains this year than i could dream.

focus, train hard and dont let the past bother you....look towards the future

What kind of injury?

everything feels heavy after a layoff - it takes a week or two of workouts before your golgi tendon backs off the alarm signal.

_Quit yer fucking bitching! Suck it up, and add some weight next time.

That's how real champions are made.

You'll be amazed how fast you'l bounce back. Don't worry about it bro.

It's happened to al of us, the dedicated ones are the people that use it as motivation and come back better than they were before

I've been working out religiously for five years now, sometimes it pays to take a little bit of time off. I'm surprised you did not go back stronger.
