Losing the drive

[Lord_Suston]

Have you ever felt constanly fatigued? I mean my physical stamina and strength are fine but I feel fatigued mentally and it is bringing down my performance in the ring and gym. It might be the weather or I need a break. But I just don't feel the insane drive I use to have, to the point where I would lift weight out of sheer will without any regard to my physical limitations. Guess I am just ranting but it seems as if the world is always grey and my own presence is diminished somehow. Maybe I am just burnt out......

"and then on the 7th day GOD rested"

so what makes you any better. Look suston, i know how you feel but out of all the people i train and my own routine. i have planned rest days. i actually force myself to take days off when i feel fine. this way i dont get burnt out so often. plus, im so ancey the days i force my self to stay away from the gym that im rip ready and rarin to go with that insane intensity you speak of.

so my advice, dude relax. you will reap the benefits 10 fold.

Lord,
I had a really tough week too man! Really rough, shit, I had a rough last couple years. No matter wtf happens, stay in there, no matter how hard it seems. Only few know the road to becoming champions.

It's probaly just a phase, life is cyclic and your old self is just around the corner. I go through these also, it can be difficult to keep prespective sometimes. Things will change!!

Strider's right. We all go through this. LS (and I don't mean Louden this time ) will be back in no time.

Those are classic symptoms of overtraining bro. Take a full week off. By about day 4 you will be chomping at the bit to lift anything. Wait the week out and when you go back, you will have some of the best workouts of your life.
