My training partner has been in a "funk" of late, so after our leg workout last
night and sipping on a post workout smoothie, I asked him what was going on. He said he just had a lot of issues lately going on outside the gym (primarily his girlfriend). When I got home later, I wondered, "What could be some of the most common things we do to hinder our fitness goals"? We may not often realize it, but unconsciously we may hinder or even hurt our fitness progress on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. At home it could be something as simple as skipping breakfast or eating to fast. At work it you might have a job where you sit too long, or consume too much caffeine or other stimulates throughout the day. In life, perhaps you let negative self talk control your days, setting goals without time lmits, or a general lack or loss of motivation. We have all probably been guilty of a few of these (I know I have) at one time or another. Ifound this article: https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/9-things-that-stop-you-from-achieving-your-goals/ which is an interesting read on 9 things that stop us from reaching our fitness goals. We all know that bodybuilding (in general), is very much a mental game. The mind and body are deeply intertwined.
So I'm interested in what you guys have done that has hindered your progress and bodybuilding goals, and what have you done to make corrections?
