worst workout ever...

LATS · Oct 19, 2009

i have had bad workouts like every one else.. but even my bad workouts i could use decent weight.. but tonight was a first.. i was looking forward to the workout.. started warming up.. but i noticed that the warmups felt heavier than normal.. i mean a ton.. never had that before.. so i plug on.. i get to my first work set and notice that the weight that i normally do for 10-12 was feeling very heavy at 4 and 5.. really odd.. i stopped the set.. regrouped for a few minute and tried again.. no go.. might as well been a yugo.. so i stopped completely.. really odd and really pissed me off lol..

oh well.. just venting..

I feel your pain. A real mind fuck huh?

MrCyp · Oct 19, 2009

Ive had these days. Its aweful b/c once your in the mindset your gonna be weak your really gonna be weak. But nothing is worse than when you get a mild injury on your first warm up set. That really sucks. LIke you do a hacksquat with no weight and feel your knee kink and your like FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

Same thing happened to me today when I worked my back....the workout was good in the sense that I know I stimulated my back but my power was low, not cool!

Those days will come man..Maybe you are getting sick, hopefully not though...Maybe take a couple days off and relax, and I will bet that you will be back better than ever...

It's a weird feeling to have days like that...Good luck man

The difference between athletics and Culinary

This is the difference between athletics and Culinary. Nolan Ryan didn't pitch a "No Hitter" everytime but Emeril's "Cajun Gumbo" comes out just right everytime.

My strength varies but my Grilled Cheese Sandwiches taste the same everytime.

Pretty funny Moen ! Hey Lats that shit happens to us all from time to time man, sometimes I go to the gym all psyched up and think I am gonna have a great workout and I am weak and just can't get in the groove for some reason, and other days I am tired and have to drag my ass to the gym and once warmed up I am strong and have a great workout, doesn't make sense sometimes but that's life and so I always go even if I don't feel like it.

Training is a weird thing..I've had days like that also...The real kicker is I've had days where I felt like shit and thought this isn't going to be a good day and I feel weak and ended up stronger then normal.Go figure

Me too. I walk in the gym thinking, I'll just do a little something out of guilt, then bang, it all comes together out of the blue and it was a great one with strong lifts.

LATS · Oct 19, 2009

oh yeah. it does mess with your mind lol.. in over 25 years of lifting i have had bad workouts.. that is a given.. but feeling that weak was weird as hell.. will try again weds.. if the same thing happens, i am quitting and starting my new hobby.. building doll houses..

LATS....Maby you need to increase you HRT doses....

When this happens to me i usually cut my workout short and get more rest. What bothers me more is when my appettite supresses and i can't eat as much as i usually do. I'd rather miss a week out on the gym rather than missing 2 days of insufficient diet. Get some rest bro, sure you'll be fine in a few days.

gravity

i like to think it's not that you are weaker but rather somedays gravity is stronger than other days....

napaulm · Oct 19, 2009

i had that happen to me too. when i was younger, it would fuck me up so bad id be depressed for 2 days and quit lifting, cuz i was a big baby.

.. i was looking forward to the workout..

This is the most frustrating part for me...there are times when i am so anxious to get into the gym and train and have a lousy workout...

We've all had 'em, that's for sure. God, I hate that!

So what do you more informed among us do? (me = less informed)

I used to just say, "Fu@k it" and push whatever weight I could manage to failure...but maybe that's the wrong attitude. (maybe we are already tired and just overtraining even worse by staying?)

So, stay and push, or go home and rest?
