@rbb221b Yeah, learned it the hard way. Sleep deprivation can be a terrible thing.

@icetiger100 Have em. Bench, rack, everything. Just been lacking motivation and energy. It’s a drive problem.

@mrbingie I wasn’t getting enough recovery for two years and that’s what I’m sure got me where I am. I burned out so bad pushing through 5 hours of sleep, lifting, and working 15 hour days. I’m just trying to find the motivation to get me slowly driven so I can avoid this from happening again...

@jcm2000 I’m definitely not designed for bb so I’ll check it out!

@khaos Thank you. I tell myself that it’s better to know I’m trying than just to stop. I do usually have healthy snacks instead of crap sometimes. It’s just been a lot lately — kind of eye opening to realize how bad burnout can be. I used to just be tired, have pre-workout, and get going. Now...

@omar Thanks for that. I think I had to take a step back to accept the reality. I’m at the gym now and taking it easier. At the end of the day, I’m still trying and that’s better than just completely neglecting it.

@saintscruiser It’s tough. I ended up just deciding to narrow my practice areas. When a part of your daily life, like lifting was for me, starts getting distorted over work then it’s best to adjust. Thankfully I have the ability to modify my existing situation. I just had to push through the...

@nebula1 I looked into that idea—thank you. The issue I run into is the working hours usually conflict with most classes. I will likely have to stick to night routines. Even looked into judo again if I could find weekend classes.

@olusanya800 Thanks. This is probably a good comment to read. I’ve been beating myself up for this and never really thought it’d be me but life has a funny way of proving us wrong.

@yox Funny you mention that. I’ve had people ask me more if I workout while wearing work clothes. I just assumed they noticed now because I lost weight but maybe I’ll check what my BF is at to see if I unintentionally did something good here.

I’ve been lifting for quite some time now. Regardless of how busy I used to get, I still made time for the gym. During COVID, I ended up getting a solid little home gym to keep up with my routine. However, the last couple of months, I have been the busiest I’ve ever been in my life. It’s not...
