What's it worth? Where do you derive your drive?

hey Chris - glad to see you back bro, sorry its under these circumstances - losing a relationship you had big hopes for is a kick in the teeth, but its just a temporary challenge to get over. It'll hurt for awhile 24/7, and then just every once on awhile. At some point, it passes. probably anybody here over 25 has gone tru it at least once. It gets better.

stay busy and dont obsess on it, and YES the gym is a good place to be. self-improvement helps heal the hurt. and living well is the best revenge.

Khemix, I was wondering what you've been up to. I have missed your intelligent insight into this thing that we do. Your posts are alway's very articulate and well thought out. I have learned alot from you. I wish you all the best and remember even though it may not seem like it now, sometimes change in our lives is for the best.

I hope to see you on here more often, and remember you have alot of good bro's here who are family. I wish you all good things.

Man up. Drink a twelve pack and plow through a stripper.

Wow guys, I got a better response than I expected.

Theres way too many good bros in this thread to thank individually, but karma msgs have been sent . I really appreciate all the kind words and encouragement guys. Its still a daily battle but only time will tell.

I've been getting back in the gym more than before and I'm slowly ramping my diet back up. Its amazing how much my stomach shrank in such a short time. I forgot how agonizingly full I use to get lol.

The drive is coming back. And I have Test/Tren stockpiled.



You guys are my second family and I can't thank you all enough.

Chris

Im not sure if you were around in the days of IronMaster, but I went through the exact same thing as you in 2004, and this is what he emailed me.....

I've said this several times, so I'm not sure which post you mean. But, yes, I've been through life's ups and downs. My first marriage ended badly, I've had successes and failures in business, I've fought the battles of raising teenagers, lost loved ones......this shit just happens if you live long enough.
The one constant thing in my life has been the training. The gym is a place of truth and honor. The iron and steel is always there waiting for you, and always gives back exactly what you put in. The determination, sacrifice and hardwork required to be successful there will spill over into all your endeavors in life.
Yes, women and money and friends come and go, but a 45lb. plate always weighs 45lbs.
When things are in the shitter, I've always just renewed my dedication to training and the brotherhood we all share. And you know, things always get better.
My second wife is great.....shares my interest in enhanced training, cooks my food just right, is a great mom to our 5 sons, and is much younger and prettier than I deserve.......but if it went down the dumper tomorrow, I'm still going to the gym.
Hang in there, man, it'll be ok. -IM


Hope that helps.

Oh ya. Almost forget....

What drives me is the Challenge/Reward culture of the weight room. I walk into the squat rack with Pantera on my headphones and get underneath 325lbs. I set a goal of 6 reps, but I dig deep and grind out 8 ass-to-the floor reps. The feeling of reward after I rack the weight, is well, beyond verbal description!

Oh. And by the way. Were glad to have you back in the board!
