I’m sorry, but I don’t believe you.

But I should’ve been more clear.

Not: How’s your stress level because of school now?

But: How’s your stress level given that you’re in graduate school now?

The distinction is subtle, but important.

But really my point is this: Be aware of your stress levels.

I’m often unaware that mine are climbing, but everything starts getting harder and harder when it is.

And then stuff like this happens:

@SvenG

In fact, I was in my second of two back-to-back runs 5/3/1 BaBY when I woke up one morning and just didn’t feel like lifting.

So I didn’t.

And that snowballed into two weeks of nothing. I did not lift, I did not eat right, and I did not feel very good at all—mentally or physically. I was pretty much fed up with everything, but mostly me, myself, and I.

but then I got my head on straight, I changed my training, I crushed an impossible program, and set I back-to-back-to-back-to… squat PRs over the course of just a few weeks.

So maybe consider a change.

And just go a little easier on yourself.

Please.
