A day in the life lifting w/nach

[NACH3]

Fella's and gals.... struggling with motivation lately...trying to dig deep, always open to suggestions??? Today did shoulders and traps.. didn't feel like being there so tried to mix it up and go very high reps. Probably looked like a little school girl but think I was fairly successful in that I got a real good burn by the time I was done..

Will be up out of bed at 4:20 tomorrow, on the road by 5am, will not feel like it but force myself to the gym....any little tricks, games people play to motivate them thru a day or two, maybe a week to stay on track, very open to any feedback. 30 plus yrs in the gym, not uncommon for me to go thru these droughts but they seem to get more and more intense every year that goes by...

Hey Bull thanks for sharing - I know you can contribute a lot to this thread with your knowledge and experiences over the yrs - I too, along with everyone else struggles just as much if not more than you! You've been in the game a lot longer than I have so you just gotta listen to your body - until Kel explained how he would take 1-2 wks off and then come back refreshed I tried and was a damn myrical! I exploded...

Music really helps me while in the way to the gym however once I walk through those doors I may talk to the regs yet once I start no one and I mean no one comes near me... I need a wireless headset/phones tho to keep me pumped or release that adrenaline I have! Give it's try and keep adding things and ?'s in this thread!!
Thx Bull

Sorry all I've been layed out for about 2 days and today has been the worst - threat, headaches(migraines) nauseating, and achy all over but I'm just resting as my eyes won't stay open at all lol

Was on a good split but 6-8 wk of hard core sgit will make me grow I know that!

Kickass all and tear it the F up!

Morning all!

Man I had a great training session yesterday and today feel like hammered shit! This head cold went from my head throat now deep in my chest... I made a doc appt but not till next wk... I took a cipro to see if it'll help as I keep hearing about pneumonia going around - any thoughts?

Not gonna make it in today but will do what I can at home - am pretty pissed tho I'll say that -

[songdog]

Good morning Nach they have a show like that around here also but I have never went.We also have this thing called grass roots where these throw backs dressed from the 60s show up.Women who don't shave their arm pits or legs tie dye shirts head bands always got 1 or 2 over doses had a kid die a couple yrs ago.I always thought it would be a good place for a drone strike.

Yeah I never did like people like that even as a lil kid.I was always miltary type of person even as a lil kid I thought it was a honor to serve your country.

Hey fellas just updating you all that I did actually have a sinus infection - first dr I saw said no - saw one today b/c it's gotten worse and is also in my chest and I am so tired I feel like major crap with very low energy - not like me... headaches turning migraine etc...

Hopefully once these antibiotics kick in I'll be gtg and can re-start my lil blast from my leftovers... been down for a wk(ish) but still been getting in roughly 3x wk not nearly enough since not combining proper muscle groups nor have the energy for it ATM!
