Agreed. I’ve never regretted getting a workout in, but have, many times, regretted taking the day off

Worst workout I’ve had in a while. Lots of pain, zero motivation, and weak. Hoping it’s just because I’ve been working so much and only sleeping a little during the day.

Worked up to my working weight on smith inclines and thought I was going to snap my collarbones and blow my shoulder out. Tried incline bench and same thing. Messaged my coach and got permission to swap to dumbbell presses for those, so that’s good.

Where is the pain? Have you seen a physio ? What is your plan to treat it ?

I have plates and screws in both wrists, carpel Tunnel and arthritis in both wrists and hands, I’ve broke both my color bones, left shoulder socket, and nerve damage on both sides as well as wear and tear in the joints.

It hurts everywhere lol.

I have not seen a physio, it really only hurts on flat bar work, which I never did until I hired a coach, but it’s going away now so that’s good.

My plan is to save up enough sick time to get my arms re operated on and then save up the time again and have both shoulders rebuilt.

wow that’s a lot of issues right there. Sounds like the simplest thing is to drop the flat bar work in favor of dumbells which you already did.

Yea lol grew up riding and racing dirt bikes and BMX. It was pretty tough on my body

Had such a damn long day. Worked through lunch and worked a little past quitting time. Tired, hot, and sunburnt from hell I chugged some pre workout and rushed through a workout.

I’ve got to find a better way to warm up for BOR’s, I’m always struggling on these. Maybe just ramp up slower.

Does this mean you’ve let go of the reins and you’re listening to your coach?

Yea. I’ve had a few small slip ups where I might eat a spoonful of peanut butter when I’m not supposed to, but other than that I’m doing what I’m told with food and exercise wise.

Glad to hear it! It looks like you’re in a better headspace now than when you started. Keep it up!

Careful with this. Peanut butter is very calorie dense. Not a bad thing, but if trying to lose weight, it is not a great thing to cheat with. I am trying to keep some lower calorie very filling snacks around. I have been liking cheddar popcorn for when I am starving (usually happens after I go to bed and can’t sleep). I could easily eat 4-5 Tbs of PB, but a big bowl of popcorn fills me up a bit more, and is a lot less calories.

I’m trying to gain weight lol but yes you are 100% right about it being crazy dense calorie wise for such a small amount.

Didn’t realize you had switched gears. Is the diet getting any easier? Coach being a bit more accommodating? Starting to like the workouts?
