It's been happening for a while but my motivation to train is in the dumper. I'm lucky right now if I hit the gym at all. In the last handful of months I've only had 1 week where I hit all workouts, in the correct order, with no doubling up workouts to make up for missed sessions. Not sure what the hell is going on. I don't think I'm depressed but it does run in my family so who knows. Work wise everything is going well. Recently promoted, nice pay raise better benefits yadda yadda... Read more ..read more

Went to a friends gym in his garage today and he was showing me a ” new to him “ piece of gear he acquired. It was a 1970 ish chain and gear driven pull down machine, very cool, but I was very surprised how different the weight felt when compared to cable based machines.

Just wondering if anybody here has... Read more ..read more

I don't know if it has anything to do with the fat cells shrinking then growing much quicker or a sudden change in my diet. (More carbs) I'm thinking this time around when I'll be ready to bulk I'll eat at maintenance for a few months see how my body reacts then increase calorie by 150-300 calories a day for...

I am right handed/ right arm dominant. I noticed I have a hard time finding connection to my right bicep. My left i can relax the entire arm and bop/ twitch the left bicep (like the pec pop thing) but I cannot do it with my right one.
