Is the NYC disaster affecting anyone's training in a negative way?

[Furious1]

I haven't been able to eat right or train since this thing happened. All I can think about is how bad I feel for everyone involved. My cycle was going great until now, but it's going to shit cause of this. I live 45 minutes from the city and knew a couple people that worked in the WTC. I'm considering ending my cycle at 5 weeks till I can get my head straight.

Yes, it is affecting my workouts in a negative way. This dude wouldn't stop bothering me about it tonight at the gym. I was going heavy on barbell curls, and this dude says, "C'mon man. You can do it. Think about those bastards that terrorized us man." Just leave me alone. WTF?

its hard to workout, and get syked up. this whole bodybuilding, powerlifting, and steriod this seems so unimportant right now. my weight has suffered, and i havent gone to the gym since, and all i want to do is watch the news and sleep. wish i was in new york, so i could put my muscle to use.
this might be the end of my lifting for a while, alot of people around me new people in the trade centers, its so doom and gloom around here, cant take it. im going on vacation in a week, so hopfully i will chill out, and pick back up, but i dont know.

I was doing excellent in the gym, but since that shit, I cant get a good workout. Fuck, I used to be pounding the shit for 2-3 hrs. now I do it and I barely even break a sweat.. i have no motivation at the moment.

i get so pissed off half of the time that i go in there and in a few instances threw some equipment across the room even damaging some cables and bars but i really look forward to that day when i see those fighter jets torpedoing the shit out of those heartless punkass mutha fukas.

So true, I can't lift for shit since this happened, I live right over the bridge & going to work everyday I get a nice view of the skyline. I feel like I'm getting punched in the face in the mornings now....truly sad....

I am getting great workouts just thinking of killing all those pussy terrorists. I can't wait to start terminating them.

 

[Nimrod25]

I have gone from greif and sorrow to complete anger and hatred.
My workouts are super intense, cus all I see is Bin Laden's face, and I just imagine how I would tear him apart.

 

[futrmro]

I know what you mean..I couldn't do shit Tues. or Wed....I've just now started kicking ass in the gym again as of Today. I can't wait until George gives the word and we start fucking up those assholes. Can't keep that Texas cowboy down for long

the first two days i couldnt eat right. the day it happened i only ate twice, i watched the tv from 6am to 11pm with only a 20 minute break to go get pizza, i only could eat two pieces. if youre wondering why i was watching at 6am, i live in hawaii so that was when i first heard about it.

It is affecting my workouts and life although I live a long way from NY (in Sweden) and have no "personal" connection to the US. I think every sensible person in the free world takes this shit pretty hard. Although this is a direct attack against the US, it is an indirect attack against us all. The worst part is that it really confirms that there are evil people.

The sick part is their sick logic: Lets kill a lot of innocent people in the name of Islam - a religon which states that persons who kill others will burn in hell until infinity.

We have 24hr coverage of it on tv from some news channel. My workouts have never been so intense, EVER.

Although Im not American it upsets the hell out of me and rather than turn into an emotional wreck in the gym I see those bastards face's on tv and it makes my blood boil.

Needless to say I have been getting more reps with less breaks in between.

All I can say is try to be strong and dont let the bastards get you down.

I am having a hard time working out also,everytime I go into the gym I get a real guilty feeling.Because I know there are alot of people suffering right now and I am in a gym working out.But we must go on,we cant let this ruin our lives or those fuckers that did this got what they wanted.

My friends and I walked my neighborhood here in NYC holding lighted candles last night. We joined the huge crowd of people in Union Square and it was uplifting. It's so sad to see that the area around St Vincents has turned from an area with bustling crews of emergency doctors and nurses waiting for survivors to heal into a shrine with candles for and pictures of missing loved ones. There just weren't many for the doctors to save.

Yes, it's affected my workouts but they've become more intense and my diet has become more productive. They are the only things I have complete control over in my life right now. So it's important that I take full responsibility for the parts of my life that I can and not give those bastards and their acts of cowardice any more negative power.

With all the bomb threats and such in DC they keep closing down the street that my gym is on. It was crazy Thursday evening in the district......tons of roads shut down and unbelievable amounts of traffic. I stopped by a restaurant to eat and the TV shows all the tragedy and people are talking about it.....it really makes me depressed, and worn out emotionally......
