Hopefully I’ll be insured soon and can go get it checked out!
Nothing too special today. Finally worked legs again. The hammy is tight but no pain. http://bobbiskai.blogspot.com/2010/10/lmelight-lower-4.html
fatigue is a life sucker. Im dealing with it again myself…hope you get some answers soon!
Finally was feeling energetic so even though it’s Halloween Friday night and all that I wanted to take advantage of it so went to the gym.

I felt really strong today, maybe it was my Strong(her) shirt that I got to wear for the first time. haha.
Highlights would definitely be the easy bench negatives with 155 and getting the 15lb DBs up for 50 reps on seated overhead press (last time I did 10s and it was HARD). Exciting stuff.
I just realized that while I was being sick and getting weaker, FUCKING EVERYONE, including women I INTRODUCED TO LIFTING, have gotten stronger than me and I am pretty damn pissed about it. This is completely unacceptable. If I have to snort pixie sticks for energy by god I will be strong again!!!

Powerful words right there 
having a change of heart?
I remember you saying something like people don’t really care how strong you are as a trainer, they just want to see abzzzz…
That’s still true! I wrestle with this a lot. The top powerlifters are still too muscular for my liking, but being out lifted by women whom I’ve trained just really grinds my gears! I think it also just grinds my gears that I’m weaker than I was last year. I’m trying to make myself take my focus off of the gym and do new things but ahh! I’m still addicted.
ya, I wrestle with the same stuff. But isn’t possible to get stronger, look hawt AND do new things?
I don’t know. I already feel like my arms are bordering on too big.

Sounds like somebody needs to go trick or treating!
let see these big arms! I bet you look awesome!!
Some kind of stomach virus ripped through the house. C and I were yacking our brains out today. On the plus side, I feel a little leaner. ha. And Brute I’ll try to get an updated pic tomorrow in my new efts tee
Hope your feeling better!
Back squatted for the first time in about 6 months http://bobbiskai.blogspot.com/2010/11/sswk1sq.html
Hoorah for squats! Congratulations!
I hope you get the fatigue checked out. I’ve been dealing with getting weaker as well, but mine is down to injuries and some serious shit I’ve been through this year (sick parents, losing my job etc). Kind of sucks when you struggle with weights you used to be able to haul up no problem.
Fatigue’s a weird one as it could be a lot of things - hormones, anemia, virus, etc. Had a friend who suffered from what he thought was ME. Then he was properly diagnosed and they found out he wasn’t breathing correctly, so he basically wasn’t getting sufficient oxygen. Bizarre! Once they got him to learn how to breath properly he was fine.
Thanks Cal. I try not to make excuses for anything so I’ll be going for new PRs even with the drop in energy until I get in to a doc. I’m not too worried about it.
Highlights of today: Ran hill sprints for the first time in forever. Those suck! Also got a dub at 115 on bench. Still completely flat. I wonder what I could bench if I had any resemblance of an arch… http://bobbiskai.blogspot.com/2010/11/sswk1bn.html
Nick Winters passing is a real eye opener. Training one day and gone the next. Making me sit back and evaluate some things. Sad to see such a genuinely good person go.
We really are twins! Dealing with fatigue, injuries and distraught over other people getting stronger. I hope it all works out for you. Take care of yourself.
Thanks Dani, sorry to hear about your MCL, sounds like time to go on an upper body specialization program!
Was doing really well on deads today and then got a wee bit hurt. Whole story on the log and a demo video. http://bobbiskai.blogspot.com/2010/11/sswk1dl.html
