Stronger Than Ever!

I can understand where a lot of people are coming from, and why your log rubs them the wrong way. Myself included.

The medical issues you listed mainly come from having a shot diet, and proceeding to have a busy schedule and continuing to do nothing about said shit diet. Most of the issues you listed can be fixed by seriously weight lifting and readjusting your diet. And by that i mean, eating enough to fuel your lifts, and lifting enough and frequently so that you can better respond to how you’re eating. Neither of which you seem to grasp fully. Just from reading your log and what you eat, you’re about two steps away from virtually being on a starvation diet. What you eat in a day, I was easily eating for breakfast, let alone lunch and dinner. Up your caloric intake steadily and I’m sure you won’t be worrying about strength plateaus, or vitamin deficiencies for that matter.

Believe me when I say, that you most likely haven’t put your body through as much as you think you have. And this is coming from someone who has been recovered from an eating disorder of 14 long ass years.

I saw that you mentioned depression, look. I don’t want to sound unsympathetic, but we all struggle with something. All of us. Use that and set it ablaze to better yourself, and by better yourself, I mean don’t make excuses. Stress will always be around, ALWAYS, instead of trying to find the “stress free life”, maybe try to find the life worth living in spite of stress.

Your heart rate went up. Okay? There’s quite a few healthy individuals who experience a heart rate of up to 200bpm. I’m pretty sure you’re fine.

Feeling tired is going to happen. I’m a college student, meaning I’m always tired, but im walking around sporting an almost 400lb squat. if I can progress, so can you.

What I can’t seem to shake, is how your numbers do not add up whatsoever. Unless you are experiencing some sort of muscle failure, or even atrophy, you should at least be able to lift a regular 45lb bar, with maybe a 10 or 25 on each side. Like Mark said, I’m pretty sure you’re uncomfortable with being uncomfortable, or you’re some sort of hypochondriac. I don’t mean to name call, but I’m just calling it how I’m seeing it.

If you want to progress, just put in the work, and calm down. Your body is pretty resilient in terms of what it is capable of doing. If you want to continue doing whatever then go ahead, but i would suggest you not ask questions if and when you realize what you’re doing isn’t yielding proper results
