I look and feel like shit. Honestly, the emotional aspect is taking its toll.

Hang in there brother. You gotta get through the hard stuff, before you can get back to living normally. Going to the gym now is defintely good for you and slowing any muscle loss. When you get past the hard stuff, then you can look for growth again.

You got this.

I look and feel like shit. Honestly, the emotional aspect is taking its toll.

Just like said above....keep at it. The shit will pass and the time you spend with the iron will benefit you forever bud.

Try to keep a positive outlook.

Not , "I look like shit".... more like, "Even tho it hurts and progress slow, it is progress and I am getting better."

Also, dump any sad, mad, or feeling bad music.

Everything can affect your frame of mind. Those are some things helped me during negative times in my life.

Looks like a really nice workout UHC. I do find a workout that gets me to sweat usually has me feeling better than I was before the workout. Keep working on being positive and find at least one thing about your workouts, etc. that makes you feel good.

Thanks man. With my test in the shitter I'm a real big pussy lately....no gains, feels like I have no strength and my body fat comp is higher than it has been in a while..... 2nd and 3rd set of BW was done last week so we'll see what the doc says when they call back today or tomorrow.

Worked out twice over the weekend.....small stuff and a 3 mile run on the beach and surrounding areas......a lot to log to be honest and it's pretty boring.

I went in today with only a 30 minute window to workout as my day is fukkin jam packed with work and a dinner meeting tonight.

So I went back at the incline:

Bar x whatever
135 x 10
155 x 5
175 x 5
185 x 5
185 x 5
185 x 5
185 x 6
drop set down to 135
paused reps, 3-4 count pause for 135 x 8.

Kickback tricep db's
side lateral raises
3 different ab exercises....did 3 rounds of this and now I'm back at work.

Really happy with the 185 x 5 for incline as last week was 165. I'll chalk it up to lack of food and being tired....I'm well rested today and I wish I couldve stayed in the gym for longer.

Really happy with the 185 x 5 for incline as last week was 165.

Nice work! A 20lb. increase over 5 reps is pretty nice improvement.

Nice work! A 20lb. increase over 5 reps is pretty nice improvement.

thanks....I think it was more related to lack of sleep and low carbs ultimately. That's a pretty big jump which means I had it in me last week.....just wasn't prepared.
