Rising From the Ashes (CL)

That’s ok. You can always find a direction. You know point A, you know point B. Draw a straight line.

Monday is rest day in my program (or makeup day).

What are you doing right now? The Daily Dose and what else?

It takes you a whole day to do your makeup? I thought my missus was bad.

I dunno. Just not focuses right now.

I am doing the Daily Dose along with whatever I can get in or whatever in the hell I want…lol

Just need to dial things in. I have been doing 4 days a week so long now the 5th day is throwing me off, if that males sense. I have tried to change things up a bit and am digging myself a hole.

I suggest that you plan days and just rotate through them. Don’t worry about what day of the week. If it’s a four day per week plan but you train five days then just do day one early.

Okay thanks! I will work on it. I just need to get back on track with some consistency.

What’s your goal(?) When I start struggling mentally, I try and pick the three things I need to do consistently to hit my goals and make sure I do them, and don’t worry about anything else.

When I am down on lifting mojo, stuff like instantly ignites fuels my fire! Maybe some Mateusz will help your mini slump!

That was definitely one of my favorite moments of the entire thing!

Exactly. As Dan John says… my ass can’t ride two horses.

The main goal is still… get stronger, but I don’t want to get any fatter…lol which I’m not. I am actually down a couple of pounds.

I’ll get it together eventually. I probably just need to run the hardgainer along with the Daily Dose. That is always my fall back when I start getting wigged out.

Get stronger at what movements?

To me, I’d just draw up a 3 point list of “Stuff I need to do”. For these goals that would look something like:

  1. Plan appropriate nutrition
  2. Daily Dose deadlift
  3. Hit all 5 other basic movements regularly.

That seems like something for me I could continue indefinitely without much fuss until the fire came back.

That’s because you are sane, and me not so much. On second thought, you did do 50 rep squats…lol

I took the privacy settings off my YouTube channel so @simo74 could access my pathetic videos. Now some random dude commented on it… it ended with “bro”… not sure how I feel about that. I don’t get dressed up to go out to my ton shed and lift, maybe I should rethink that :rofl:
