Guest guest Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Hey everyone, I just realized that there hasn't been much traffic lately. Let's wake this list up! How is everyone doing with their program? Even the old-timers, post up your current goals and your plan! (put OT in the subject line if necessary) Me? My workouts are centered around rehab-ing my shoulders, and progress has been a roller coaster for the last 3 years, but slowly getting better overall. Bodyweight is slowly dropping, which is part of an overall goal of returning to a weight that is consistent with lower strength levels (due to shoulders). Other goals are keeping the knees happy and overall fitness (being able to backpack, sprint, wrestle, hike, etc). Diet is mostly good, sometimes bad. Good habits, most meals are clean, but too many treats to consider it BFL by the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Brett ( & BFL'ers), I'm a little (okay a lot) stuck in the mud. Not getting very much traction lately. 100 false restarts. Can't seem to find why I am unable to engage. Economy? Income? Family? Work? Lazy? Pain? Depression? Recession? Obsession? Other? All the above? None of the above? But... I am here, alive and kicking. ...Weakening and widening, but, kicking. Looking for progress, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 , Glad you are alive & kicking. I don't know what it takes to motivate you, but only you will figure it out and we are hear to support you when you are ready to pick up the weights. Or to try to figure out why you are not motivated. I was just checking out this website that I hear so much about http://www.livestrong.com Maybe something to check out. With my short attention span, I continually need new sources of motivation. I went to the MyPlate Food Diary section and just typed in Roly Poly and was surprised that the stuff on their menu pops up. I know BFL isn't counting calories, but this might be a fun tool to use. Also some recipes too. I see some aren't BFL but I think there are some and others could be adapted. As for weight training program to keep things interesting for me, I did the ever so hyped P90X from mid June to Mid August and was impressed with my results and soreness in that short amount of time. I found that having the trainer on the DVD to follow really helped push me to a new level. I slacked off due to running races in September and October, but am going to get back to it regularly after my big race next month.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Brett, that is interesting the effect of going light on the weights. The mental impact of not doing anything at all is even worse that going light, but I know what you mean. I do miss the low reps, heavier weights. I may have to work that back in at some point if I feel like my back can handle it again and I do think there is hope. That is great that you have figured out a way to make some gains again. And habits are key even though we sometimes lose ground, adapt, and then have to adapt again. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
