today i was in a pretty decent mood. the morning had gone smoothly. i drank my chocolate muscleegg eggwhites about 9:30 and had a string cheese. took my preworkout at 11 and was changed and headed to the gym about 11:50. there were only 2 vehicles in the parking lot, yeah! the cardio room was empty. got on the treadmill and it went very smoothly. 12 min 195 calories, hardly breathing heavy.
i went into the weight room and it was empty! yeah, i love an empty weight room. i sat on the bench and i just had that feeling that it wasnt going to be a good workout. does anyone else have those? i picked up the 55#ers and they were heavy and as soon as i layed back on the bench the shoulders were complaining the left elbow cried. one set and i decided that there would be no pressing today.
i was reading somewhere that they have linked bad workouts to body temperature. interesting thought. the higher the temp the worse the workout. they said that it didnt seem to be hormonally related at all. so i got to thinking, when are my worst workouts? when are my best? what about average?
i think many things can affect ones workout. for me, i think my mood is probably the biggest. i think some of my worst workout are when i am in a good mood. my focus is decreased and in general they tend to be lack luster and i dont seem to care as much because, im in a good mood. my best workouts are usually when i am mad or frustrated. i am far more focused on my workout and i have that energy that i need to get out.
what are the causes of your good or bad workouts?
