It take 10 days to get back to the same workout and try to improve upon a lift and I just lost my patience today and did front squats again instead of deadlifts. I manged to hit a pr by 10lbs but it still didn't feel great and I wasn't too pumped after the workout, kind of drained. I like going to the gym, the atmosphere, my friends, the Milfs that are there in the daytime, etc, but I am losing enthusiasm for lifting heavy weights all the time.
I also like mountainbiking and hate to compromise between lifting and biking. Do I skip tonight's ride so I can have a better lower body workout tomorrow?...blah blah It seems like my legs almost never feel fresh.
I just took a week off about 5 weeks ago and came back feeling strong but now I'm bored. How often dop you guys rotate your templates, days of the week, full body to split etc.? Do you actually plan out mini cycles and stick to them? Is that a bird over there?

If your still here thanks for reading my insane rant.
Have ADD (off the charts level, yeah me!) and I learned that I should not fight the desire to exercise differently whenever the urge strikes. I just make sure I get 3 weight training exercieses in per week and the other 4 days I have to do something cardio-ish.

Oh look, a chicken!

Regards,

Jim~
