Sadly, seems like only @ChickenLittle got amused by Annarexia. To think that I was so proud of myself for that

I thought it was a typo, to be honest. I’m now disappointed in myself.

It’s called “being bloody knackered”.

If I train too hard for too long I’ll have trouble sleeping.
Or if I do an extra intense or long workout I’ll have trouble sleeping that night.
Is there any connection between too much work and problems with sleep for you? Maybe you could work up a plan to lighten your lifting workload on your call weeks so you don’t get so run down?

If I lift in the evening it jacks me up and I won’t sleep for shit.

Nope. Lifting doesn’t change it. I’ve had this long before I lifted. I probably have sleep apnea or something. I’m not gonna get tested though. Starting Jan 1. I’ll be dropping a ton of weight, that should help for sure.

Last night I had a pretty weird dream. T-nation had a big meet up in my city. Everybody was there and @Chris_Colucci was giving a speech to the people there. I was running around with a confused look on my face trying to see if I would bump into someone I knew from the forums, and wondering why everybody was suddenly speaking Italian.

I confess I’m worried you’re dreaming about me dude.
Although my actual confession is I’m just wasting time before my next set of squats in the hope armaggeddon comes and I don’t have to do them.
WOW! was I in it?? 
I’ve had weirder dreams:
Two nights ago, I had a dream where I “woke up” in another dream. In that dream, some pretty bad stuff happened, so I “went back to sleep” assuming it was a dream and “woke up” again only to “find out” it wasn’t a dream. Then I woke up for real. some serious inception shit

Unfortunately, I can’t recall seeing any of you guys in the dream. There was just a bunch of people. The only one I can remember is Chris, because he was giving a speech in front of a mic to the t nation people.
I recall having had pretty weird dreams, including some lucid dreams that were pretty awesome.
One of the weirdest one I recall having, and waking up completely terrified from, is one I had at least 6 years ago. I was in a park with some friends doing something. I can’t remember the details, I just remember that for some reason a picked up a flower. I was looking at it.
And then he barked at me. very loudly.
I woke up on the spot and felt like I was having a heart attack. That has to be weird haha.

Can you taste stuff in your dreams?
Not really.
Most of my dreams aren’t very vivid. I never remember looking directly at people’s face in dreams, but rather just knowing who they are, and I’m pretty sure I don’t “hear” their voices but rather perceive what they say like when you’re thinking and hearing your inner voice.
I call this state and feeling “introvert dreaming.”
No memory of smell, taste, or touch that I can think of.
I think my biggest problem with the “cater your programming to what you like best or what feels best” mentality that I see some coaches doing or people advocating for, is that my best progress comes from doing shit that is just miserable on every level, from start to finish. That’s why I get confused when people show up saying “I feel burnt out and I don’t want to do the workout”, and when I’m making serious progress, that’s how I feel about all my workouts.

I’m absolutely the same. I think it boils down to the majority of people being either prepared to trade more progress for enjoyable training; or being unwilling to admit that they don’t have the intestinal fortitude to endure discomfort.
You feel burnt out and don’t want to train? Fuck off then, while I feel burnt out and dont want to train and train anyway and leave you standing there wondering why you aren’t progressing.

It would have been even cooler if everyone was speaking Italian but got dubbed in English like those old giallo movies.
