Depressed After a Bad Workout

Did you leave the gym injured? Was anything broken?

Well then stop whining over it and redeem yourself next workout.

I have more chronic injuries than I can count, and a couple of new ones just in the past month. But I still return to the gym with a smile like it’s gonna be the best day of my life.

It’s not that serious, man, really. There’s a whole lot of shit in life tougher than one bad day in the gym. I know you were just venting, but this post, honestly, makes you sound seriously unbalanced in your life.

I gotta be honest, the other day I hit a snag in the gym and…I didn’t do this. I got pissed and told myself to try harder next time!

Grit your teeth and fucking smash those weights man.

Just shows your working hard enough to be tired. Doesn’t mean you should blow your brains all over the wall… though in your defense I dont know you well enough to make that call for you.

It’s not like being an ‘emo’ or something like that, but I have a hard time taking the punches of a failed workout. And today, I was just pitiful.

As I walked out the weight room some hours ago I felt like putting a gun to my head and paint the wall with my brains. I felt anger, disappointment, grief. I was at my worst. I try not to think about it, but not being able to do 5 reps at 70% of my 1RM just drives me crazy.

I guess it’s just one of those days, huh. To everyone who ever felt like this, I know what it’s fucking like.[/quote]

Just man the fuck up! If you have a bad workout, and you will. Use that pain or emotion or whatever for the next workout and set pr’s all over. None of this gun to your head bulls###!!!

Yes :frowning:

A bad workout is when you fuck up your shoulder, again, because you weren’t smart enough to avoid exercises that you shouldn’t be doing with a fucked up shoulder.

What’s important is how you deal with it.
