I am ALWAYS looking for ways to improve my training....you will see questions on this board CONSTANTLY that look exactly like this..

"huh, so that's good?"

followed up with...

"So I should do that?"



Recently I've gotten a foam roller...stretch more often...and am reading up on teh plyometrics...oh yeah, and am going to start doing energy systems work...all while slowing trying to get my diet where it needs to be...

Sometimes having knowledge, but not enough, is a dreadful thing...You know what you've got is a great start, but that it's not good enough, and are constantly tweaking things, adding things, taking things out.....it's exhausting...my workout partner doesn't get why we have to make changes even though we are doing good already.

I'd like to get back into this mindset again... Sometimes addiction is good.

Damn - I'm glad I'm not the only one who obsesses -

I dont drink with work colleagues anymore - but mostly because I used to get pissed and tell them exactly what I thought of them!

I used to end up boring people by getting too deep into detail when they asked me about diet. I guess it's their own fault for asking. I try and do as little as possible during the day that'll tire me out for training. I even spent a year working the early shift at a shitty supermarket so I could fit in all my meals and train afterwards round 2pm ish when i finished instead of looking for a decent yet more restrictive job. My whole life was arranged simply around eating, training and resting. Although it was the best environment in which to make gains- I got huge (for me anyway), it was scaringly taking over my life. So I stopped that all, enjoyed a holiday in Greece for a month, got pissed and partied, quit my job and moved back into the city to seek my fortune. What happened? I got a job that has stupidly long hours that leaves hardly any time to do anything let alone train, lack of money that only clears my rent and bills with a below average diet and I lost all that I had pretty much gained. My conclusion is that I was better when my life was all about training. Shit.

That is sad bro....but very inspiring to hear someone say that their life was "better when they just trained"

My life without training would be completely meaningless, and I would be better off dead. True story.

Damn straight. I didn't train over the summer due to some personal issues, and the guilt of not training almost tore me apart.

I seem to check out my biceps too often when i pass a mirror

I just call it good body awareness

 

[Double D]

Yeah I get alot of comments from my wife, why are you always looking at yourself. I dont tell her "because I look good". I normally say, I thought I had something on my face or, I thought you were behind me.

 

[Squaggleboggin]

Every time I carry anything, I think of all the different exercises I do that apply to it. And if you follow my training at all, you know that most of my exercises fall under the category of applying to most things.
