Not sore or burnt out, just unable to perform. Just warming up felt heavy. Got pinned by 245.
When I feel like that I know it is time to quit and try again another time.

Had to work a bunch more then normal this last week. Weights felt not so great today. Tuesday I will do some MSEM and see how it goes.

i've decided that full breaks are underrated for most amateur athletes. 4500 miles is a hell of a lot of driving time, where'd you go?

We went from Seattle to Nebraska. Got to see Yellowstone, the grand Tetons and arches national park on the journey. Weather was perfect, couldn't have gone better.

squat 5x135, 5x185, 4x5x205

Recently went on a 4500 mile road trip and took my first vacation in ages. Didn't do anything but gain weight and lose strength.
I have been doing pretty well at lifting weights about 2x a week for the last 10 years. After the break I got back in the squat rack and it turned out bad. I forgot how damn sore you can get. My BW Pull up/dip/push up routine has been hit 2x this week and is feeling good.
Positive is my body has no nagging issues. My back feels great!

Lost the brakes on the weekend car on the way home at the end of a 2-3-4 tuning pull...that was hairy lol! No brakes at ~140ish. Turns out I have a caliper leaking internally past the seal. Yay! New one on order.

That is sketchy. Hopefully nobody was around so you could just roll it out, or even better you were at the track?

What is your weekend car BTW?

When I am more active during the school year, I assume I feel worn down from all the activity.

Now that I am a month into summer I can't seem to catch up, still wasted wtf?

Motivation to improve is low atm. Today was my first day off in a spell and get going enough to visit the barbell. best workout all month.

Feels like my ability to recover is at 0%. Over the last week weights have felt impossible.
did some warm up jumps pre-work out and felt glued to the ground. blah.

^^^^ thanks man. The motivation of what you and others on this board have got done keeps me rolling.

solid workout. warmed up with jump rope, and my side was splitting after 1.5 minutes.

cardio wise I blow. Been working a band to gain some more mobility in my ankle recently. It really seems to be helping. That + lacrosse ball rolling on my foot for the win.
