How often do you miss scheduled workouts?

I missed a workout about 5-1/2 years ago, and am still pissed.

Now that's dedication!

I sometimes miss a day but I work it back in somewhere. The rest sometimes does me better.

training will injured or sick is usually not a great idea for me...I was DEAD tired and was grinding thru and hrt my shoulder - only time I have ever been hurt in the gtm

I only lift 3-4x per week....so if I miss a day (rare) then it is easily made up...

I did skip several days after my contest(s)...but I was with my girlfriend and the time spent with her was more important to me.

As far as other priorities go, that's a pretty damn good one!!

Thanks...I believe so too. She makes me smile a lot too. I also needed the time off after 2 contests in a month...the joints were screaming...

I'm pretty compulsive about going to the gym. It would have to be somthing pretty important to get me to miss.

my buddy's a nationally ranked powerlifter (ie, squats well over 800lbs in competition) and he takes a week off after every competition.
My wife is the only thing in my life that I would miss the gym for, but she goes out of her way to accomodate it that it almost never comes up

if during my warmups, a certain muscle I'm working feels odd, then I go home. I've learnt from the past not too push things.
I always like to do better than the last time I was at the gym. If I lift less reps, then I get more depressed than if I didn't workout at all

Its better to skip, than to try and fail, when it comes to workouts. This way I keep my motivation and morale up. Nothing worse than forcing a workout to then lift less, and then you've added even more fatigue, and extended your recovery further.

Well this is the case for me anyway - motivation is not a problem for me, but backing off is!
