This was his way to make it absolutely clear how you need more food to recover from workouts... not nice of him, but very effective.

You know Epsi, I really don't know. From what I can tell, he (as a rule) doesn't really push his peeps to failure. Mentally it is not great and it took me 3 full days before I could move without pain. Not many people would train with him if he did that as a rule. This was a very effective way to show me that he means business and I need to do what he says.
Now here is the big kicker in all of this. Thru this week I have not been able to get my calories in despite this lesson and late last night I was nearly in tears talking about this dilema with Brent. It was already Sat night and I was 1500 cals behind my goal. I had analysed this issue to death and I kept insisting to Brent that it was physical not mental but by then I just wasn't sure. I mean I got 3K cals in when I was bulking. It just didn't add up. Brent suggested then that I talk to Bruce about this. Bruce is this great Body Builder in our town who owns a store where I get all my gainers and fat burners. Last time I saw Bruce he sold me these fat burners called Hot Rox. He told me they had caffiene and other ingredients that would help me drop weight. It then hit me. These damn pills had an appetite supressent as well.
I never told my trainer about these pills. I bought them from a source I trusted and I wanted to try them. I did not know if my trainer would approve or not and I wanted to try them. Anyway, long story short is I stopped them today and my ability to eat is back!!!!! I am not in need of therapy after all. I am in need of a kick in the ass for my stupidity. My trainer and I conversed today and I told him that I was cured. Of course then I had to tell him why. He is pretty angry with me for not disclosing that one. I am glad I told him today which will give him a few days to burn off the anger at least. He told me a lot of reasons why those are bad suppliments for me to take and also said that the disclosure issue is a real issue. But then he conceded that the first season is the time for stupid mistakes. So I think he will forgive me after some sort of lecture on Tuesday. At least I am hoping he does.
Anyway I am happy as hell today and my stomach feels good again finally. I ate my calories with no issues, had hunger and everythin. I even think I will even be able to get in the deficit. It would be great to go to him with the 1700 daily met since I have this other issue to deal with now. Cripes.... I wonder if all clients are so "high maintenance"?
That crisis over with the first week of vacation so now back to the slow cut and heavy lift program!
