    Body felt good, it was purely lack of motivation.

    Your face is so ugly, at least with a paper bag your body still has a chance.


    Ok, that was pretty rude of me, felt weird being that horrible even if I intended it in jest.
    Anyway, I'm right there with you on the motivation thing. Trying to get myself going again. Just keep fighting, keep clawing for every small bit of activity. Those small things will snowball and hopefully you'll eventually be back rolling full steam ahead.

    I respond better to negative reinforcement.


    so....


    Let hear it! Go!

    With over training and injury in your future on a schedule like that, I'd recommend you not go to the gym.

    If you're in the gym for 2 hours you're wasting time somewhere...Yesterday I did heavy deadlifts, shoulder press, rows and then ran intervals on the treadmill. That took 1 hour. Today I did some circuit work for 20 minutes and was ready to puke. Are you doing manscape lifts and taking gym selfies?

    no shit on the 2 hours. If it takes your that long your not doing enough. Hell just a good leg day will make your want a break, I don't care if you eat bcaa by the 5 gal bucket.

    I'm a hurting mofo some days on an hour and 15..... But my trainer, he's a real asshole to me. Like his mom threw gravel at him and made him eat shitty cold food a lot kind of asshole. Kinda like gunny.......... But god bless him for being an asshole to me. damn, do I love these gains.....

    If you can casually lift for 2 hours everyday, you need to put on some more plates and hire ct Fletcher....... That ought to take some of the piss and vinegar out of you.

    But in all seriousness though, good for you... I wished my schedule would let me do that.

    That's a lot of exercises, brother. How many sets of each are you doing?

    2 hours is quite a lot of time; 22 days straight too

    It varies depending on my body signals,
    Bench, Incline, Decline 5-6 sets, 8-12 reps
    Flys 4-5 Sets, 8-12 reps
    Preacher Curls 5-6 Sets, 8-12 reps
    Dumbell Curls, step down until failure
    Situps, Step down until failure (start at 25lb extended overhead, can usually get 10-15 reps, then step down to 10lb 20-25 reps, then step down to 5lb 8-10 reps, then burn out with just my weight)
    Crunches, 3-4 sets, rep till failure
    Abb twist, 4-5 sets 8 reps, starting at 140lb stepping down 5lb at a time.
