Training for weeks, then suddenly stopping...anyone else go insane?

This week i havent been the the gym once. Had lots of deadlines and lots of work etc.

For some reason, so many things have been messin up for me recently:

• sleep
• women
• work
• patience
• general mental things

Is this somethin about being a teenager? I seem to rely on exercise so much to keep me calm and have things in order.

Anyone else get this? i seemed to have gone fairly insane this week,

I think im just ready for my xmas holiday

I experience the same thing too, i look forward to nothin more than goin to the weightroom afterschool, sort of like a safe haven to just get away from everything

5 RM
Bench Press: 240 lbs
Hang Clean: 225 lbs

goal bench by end of football season : 285

Welcome to the lovely years of hormones and bad decisions. For me, the gym is my second home.

Some but that's why I make my routine flexible enough so like last night for example didn't get home till like 12:30 so I wasn't gonna lift but I can do it today and i'm still not really behind..

Goals by end of 2009:
Bench 205
Squat 255 ATG
Squat Clean 185

Welcome to the lovely years of hormones and bad decisions. For me, the gym is my second home.

It has been for me also, especially these last couple of months

ever since i turned 19 ive gone a bit more mental than usual i think hahaha.

Ah well, 20 in a few months =[

well, im only 15 here but yeah i got a job and lady and school and it's the gayest thing when you cant get to the gym 1 or 2 days of the week but some days i will work up to 4 different groups in 1 day and it's feels just fine

it ain't the size of the dog in the fight, its the size of the fight in the dog


fight record:  
 10-2

I had the same problem, with the exams, presentations and major deadlines I couldn't go to gym. So not going once, twice and then I decided to not go the rest of the week to let my body recover and finish my work. On those days I had so much energy and I didn't know what to do with it, even though studying should take most of my energy I still had surplus energy by the end of the day and I wanted to do something physically active. Then when I hit the gym again, I would go up in weight, regain those loses and get back on track. It's a sudden change in routine that leaves all the energy in you with no use.

Its not what you know, its what you can do that counts!
