Having just fought this same battle i would say do something fun that makes you want to be in the gym. Even if it is having no plan other than doing what feels good. Get the pattern down again and the routine of going the goal will materialize later.
Good job! [/quote]
I have issues with motivation especially during the summer. Getting outside and training has helped me. And also not worrying about setting PRs helps me.[/quote]
I agree with that. I find aiming for PRs to be very stressful. BUT, if I don’t aim for them, I suffer from a lack of intensity and purpose.
Keep at it, Wilson. Workouts are looking good. Things will work themselves out. It just takes time.
And, no, I am not a patient person either.

Scott, I read where a 20 set squat helps activate HGH and testosterone. It really gets my heart pumping and motor running for the rest of my training.[/quote]
Interesting. I may have to add this to part of my warm-ups. Thanks.
Flat DB presses: 3x90x8
Hammer Incline: 2x115x6, 115x4

Just an average training day after a week of personal setbacks and problems. I’m not sure if and when I will get back to the gym again. Unfortunately this may be my last post on this log. I just don’t know anymore about so many things in my life. I do know I enjoyed the friends and people here and all of you influenced my training more than i ever imagined. You all made me wish I had never stopped training during my college years and I realized that at almost 50 I could be stronger than the average men I have been surrounded by. I really enjoy my time here and in the gym. It fucking sucks how life gets in the way of all the things you enjoy.
So who knows… Hopefully I will be back tomorrow with a post that says I just needed happy drugs and this post was ramblings of a man wallowing in self pity. Right now, as I write this, I just don’t know.

Today, Wilson mounted his Harley, the harley was willing, and rode her hard to the beach. There he walked out on the sand, kicked off his boots, opened a cold one, gazed out at the wonder and glory of the ocean and felt insignificant. He reached in a pocket and pulled out his life to consider. Circling it like little moons were friends he knew only from the vastness known as “Internet”. They were minor players in his life but they’d grown to care. Realizing this his insignificance faded, because in this universe, if nowhere else, he was not alone and had meaning to others.
I don’t mind any of you guys stalking. I have been in for a few workouts. Nothing much to comment about. In fact i did just enough to make me sore. I’m trying to work through the issues of my life and try to find some base to rebuild my training around. I sure appreciate all the notes of support. I wish I was eloquent enough to put into words how special they all are to me. Anyway I will keep y’all posted and hopefully be back in full force at some point. It really means a lot to have the friends on this board.

I drug myself out of bed. Wasn’t really enthralled with the training, but I moved something. I’m not sure of the direction I’m going but I do need to move some iron to keep a little bit of my sanity. I hope I can make it back in tomorrow. Who knows, I may try to do some complexes.
