Ive done negatives and jesus, its tough. Boring and (hopefully) long, but effective.
Oh and fu, at least you showed up today. I did too. Nothing like working out on a day when everyone uses the day to 'relax.'
"Relax...jesus, get the fuck outta here.
Those are possibilities. Basically anything is a possibility because I don't even know what my goals are.
Well you gotta have goals. Set some before you set a program up.

... Thanks for the encouraging words/ video, fufu. That video cracks me up.
It sounds like you are having a hard time too...
So what's up with you? Why are you so down? Is it just your lack of focus/ motivation or is something bigger bugging you? How's your life outside the gym?
Sounds like you need to create a program that excites you enough to want to train.
Sounds like you need a challenge. What about doing some difficult BW stuff (like pistols, one- arm handstand holds, strap pushups and rows, towel pullups, mixed pushups rolling a medicine ball from one side to the other etc.) mixed with some unilateral DB stuff (like one-arm snatches, one-arm bench press, one-arm overhead presses, roll outs) And create a new warm up to work on your conditioning- I like rope work/ burpees. When I get stronger I am going to start skipping again. Just some ideas. I love bare bones' workouts with limited equipment. If I had the money (and was at 100% health wise I would buy some KB's). Anyway keep your chin up and remember your mind is your strongest muscle- don't let it get dull.
I like the 5x5 routine.
you can do lots of different things though. You can even create something if you want.
My program now is basically, a power exercise, a high tension strength exercise and then non-competing supersets to work on metabolic conditioning and to increase work rate.
I got some bands, adjustable DB's up to 50 lbs, light jumpstretch band, and the coc trainer. I decided to devote one of my training days to just using those sort of things in my basement. It is gonna be wicked fun.
just a few things I have thought of, band scap retractions, band push ups, standing unilateral ovrhd press, db snatch, goblet squats, db swings
so use all that shit as intense circuits for metabolic conditioning.
You could so something like
mon- lower body strength work
wed- upper strength work
fri- total body conditioning
or
mon- lower strength
tues- upper strength
wed- off
thurs- total body conditioning
fri- off
sat- total body conditioning
sun- off
Someones in the zone.![]()

Merry Christmas, FuFu!
working the club....at midnight...I'm gonna find as many cute girls to kiss as possible...
You?
what are you doing on-line today? I'm at work...
lol, I only have one movement written down.I'm checking through all those T-nation, "exercises you have never tried" before I start putting stuff down. This is the fun part though.
I made a post in Training for all of those articles.
Give the Zercher Good-mornings a try. Another good one is the Overhead Squat. It looks gimmicky, but it'll work the shit out of your core.
