Oh you’re right, it’s just that the quote fits what I’m feeling now. Of course, with the supervisors lurking it’s almost like Darth Vader stalking me in his tie fighter.

Serially? blushes

So, I’d like to print up business cards with the slogan “Making technology your bitch since 1996.” I think it would appeal to the ‘element’ that I enjoy being around, but alas - It would also be the element that is hardest to collect from…

A few years ago I got a couple rubber stamps made that said “Fuck It!”. One of those would be useful for bills you can’t pay because of the non-paying ‘element’.

mah dog is hurt and offended that I didn’t get home until 1145 last night and you bastards ignore how cute he is…

If you put him in a cat costume I will say he is cute!! haha just kidding!

So fucking frustrated. I need to vent.

I’ve been working out for the last 3 months on a 6 day a week plan. For the first month it was hell. I was weak and tired constantly. I ask my close friend, who happens to be a grizzled old PT, what the deal is. he says I’m over training. So i politely told him to STFU and worked through it. 2 months passed and I was gaining strength and size. everything was peachy. That’s when I took my avatar pic. Now two weeks later I’m feeling the same way i was at month 1. And once again, my PT friend says I’m over training.

This guy usually knows his shit, so now I’m starting to think I need to change my whole routine. That means changing the whole makeup of my week, too. here’s how I’m doing things now:

Sunday: Legs, primary mover is squat

Monday: Back and bis, primary mover is usually single arm rows

Tuesday: chest and tris, primary mover is flat bench

Wednesday: Legs, squat again

Thursday: Shoulders, MP as my primary

Friday: bis, tris, and grip training.

saturday is my day off.

Granted i just got over a horrific stomach bug but I took four days off. Goddammit, I feel like such a fucking noob for having these problems, which is why i didn’t post this anywhere else. I don’t know If i’m looking for tactical appraisal or what, but this had to be said. fuck fuck fuck. I’m having a crisis. where’s my mom. i need a hug. fuck.

and to top it all off my SAD is back. i thought taking vitamin d would help. it didn’t.

Keep trying for another couple weeks before making any changes. Even though you took time off, you could still not be 100% yet.

But what do I know, I’m just a person on the innerwebz with a silly monster avatar.

Are you going all ‘heavy’ on the muscle group repeat days? ie: the squat especially, or are you using high weight/low reps one day, ‘low’ weight/high reps the other?
How long is each workout? -for me, I aim to keep things below 75 minutes total for a workout if I’m doing 3 or 4 days a week. for 5 or 6 a week I HAVE to be done in 45 or things start breaking down.

re: the 4 days off, any time you’ve been spraying semi-solids out of either end of your body, it doesn’t count as ‘time-off.’ The smart thing to do might just be taking extra time off/ or going less intensely for a little bit longer.

(all IMO)

i think i need a combination of what everybody is suggesting. i’m just so horrified of going backwards in progress it’s tearing me up inside. top that off with an existential crisis and you’ve got a recipe for disaster.

Wow, maybe I’m going to get the boot off this site for saying this but…six days is going overboard IMO. I never go over five but I’m old and crotchety.


related somehow.
