Charles Poliquin says you are the sum of the 5 people you spend the most time with.
I’ve been spending too much time with unmotivated, untrained and worst of all uneducated people when it comes to lifting. Guys from work have been going to the gym at lunch and their lazy unmotivated attitudes have worn off on me.
Haven’t been around here much lately to get my boost of motivation so I’m back with a new log, new attitude and membership to Planet Fatness! Yea that’s right I’m going to make that gym look good. $10 a month and free pizza, how can you not go there. Honestly, it’s 5 minutes from work and I can lift there 2 days a week which frees up 2 nights with the family and hopefully prowler time.
Starting today, I’m the sum of 1, me. No one else can motivate me, no one else can reach my goals and no one else is going to train for me.
Thanks guys. Finally admitted to myself I’ve been being kind of bitch in the gym lately and it’s done me no favors. Refocused and ready to lift something heavy.
I know what you mean, I just reenergized my lifting these last few days with a new (old) program that shakes up the variables. Wendler I had been doing for 3.5 months and I stagnated, so maybe a shake up is good for the duration of it. (and at some future time take another crack at Wendler)

Yep, ran 5/3/1 for a long time off an on and just got burnt out. Doing another program G1 wrote starting tonight and can’t wait. Thanks.
Fischer- I’m gonna try. We’ll see how they like the bands and DB handles tomorrow.
Cav- Yea, no power rack, thankfully I have one at home and will do the big lifts there. They did laugh when I asked when is pizza day.
BD- yes…yes I am.
Deadkong- they make it pretty impossible to set that damn thing off. No barbells and the DB’s only go to 75lbs. Luckily the days I go there I don’t need barbells and the machines are a nice change of pace.
Went pretty well and I can honestly say I gave 100% of what I had.
Couldn’t dial in my squat form, it’s been wonkey lately and I called the last set due to shit form. It was a good first day really back after it.
DaCharmingAlbino- Hahaha, I think about that guy every time I walk in. It works for me, the only chest exercise I can do is incline DB bench. The lifts that really matter to me (squat, deadlift) I do at home.
Just call him the Bus driver because he is taking everyone to school!
Sometimes I will just call the nearest Power lifting gym and jumpin with them on a heavy bench day just to be humbled and motivated. It normally lasts for about 6-8 weeks…

That’s a darn good idea. In my case I could go to a high school gym and get humbled
