Great post bro, this is so.. true. I was in a very similiar situation with a girl that I was with for 6yrs. I was certainly no angel but I always treated her with respect I was devoted to her and gave her everything I had. Then she took my heart stepped on it, spit on it, and left me for dead. At the time I was training for my first competition and needles to say for at least a week or two my training, diet and stress levels were out of control. I took all those feelings and emotions to the gym and let loose on the weights> I refocused and was determined to show her that while she can knock me down she can't knock me out. To make a long story short I won the show and haven't looked back since.hairlossguru said:This is something that Ironmaster PM'd me. Ive posted this many times before, and it helped me through the toughest time of my life.

I've said this several times, so I'm not sure which post you mean. But, yes, I've been through life's ups and downs. My first marriage ended badly, I've had successes and failures in business, I've fought the battles of raising teenagers, lost loved ones......this shit just happens if you live long enough.
The one constant thing in my life has been the training. The gym is a place of truth and honor. The iron and steel is always there waiting for you, and always gives back exactly what you put in. The determination, sacrifice and hardwork required to be successful there will spill over into all your endeavors in life.
Yes, women and money and friends come and go, but a 45lb. plate always weighs 45lbs.
When things are in the shitter, I've always just renewed my dedication to training and the brotherhood we all share. And you know, things always get better.
My second wife is great.....shares my interest in enhanced training, cooks my food just right, is a great mom to our 5 sons, and is much younger and prettier than I deserve.......but if it went down the dumper tomorrow, I'm still going to the gym.
Hang in there, man, it'll be ok.

Show that bitch she just made the mistake of her life and move on. Attack the weights and get up on some strange bro you definitely deserve it.
