ive been doing the same just going through the motions this summer trying to maintain, ive been itching to hit it hard but just too much stuff going on latelySup. Iāve been a human slug for the past 6 weeks. Ive made it to the gym maybe once a week on average. There have been a couple other ebbs in my consistency, this is straight up bad though
The motivation hasnāt been there. Thereās a couple things at play.
1. Iāve been working too fucking much and life is too busy. Obligations plus 50-60hr weeks puts me at odds with prioritizing gym time vs relaxing/fun to keep my sanity.
2. Long term relationship motivation sag. Just feeling like I donāt need to try much more than maintaining current physique.
I have to figure out a program. It keeps me more compliant with going and making progress. Lately itās been going to the gym and doing whatever Iām feeling, which doesnāt accomplish much, beside maintaining.

1quick joins sober October, probably just going to do no drink November also lol, Iām ready to focus hard on weightlifting and nutrition again and attempt some big numbers this winter, to kick it off Iām gonna bench heavy today
Iām giving myself 5 months to hit these two goals, 365 bench and 500 squat, buuutttt I donāt want to gain weight like I did last winter so it may be a lot harder, i can probably single 325 on bench right now and maybe 415 on squat but I havenāt done more than a triple at 385 in a really long time, long winter of hard work ahead
I was hung over as balls today but wanted to lift to keep in the swing of it, 2 McDoubles a dry scoop of preworkout and 2 shots of vodka, my veins just started sprouting their own veins
Gonna be tough without putting weight on especially the 365 bench. I keep going back and forth if I wanna go for 405 on bench.
I have hit 365 but I was about 20-25lbs heavier when I did so. Right now my 1RM on bench is 345 (hit it last Saturday)
But I know for a fact for myself to do that (405) I would have to put weight on, and I'm still trying to cut 45-50lbs
Iām fairly light for what I lift now weigh right around 220-225 most of the time Iām doing sets of 5 at 305 right now on bench for my heavy set, Iāve also squatted 455 at this body weight, Iām not against weighing more but I need to gain weight slow or my blood pressure will skyrocket and I donāt want to be that much heavier 235 seemed hard but I gained 10 lbs in a monthGonna be tough without putting weight on especially the 365 bench.
