NoWhereToRun’s BodyBlog

I’m currently in a rut.  I can’t seem to pull myself together mentally and emotionally while creating workouts and during the workout itself.  The workouts seriously lack the passion and anger and emotion I’m used to bringing to the table.  This is very similar to the baseball slump I experienced this past spring.  I came off a good weekend series and slipped into a terrible hitting slump which lasted for a good part of the season.  Like my baseball slump, this bodybuilding slump occurred after a solid two months of summer of exceptional conditioning.

How can I go from fully motivated and in the best condition I had yet to achieve to someone who has completely lost his fire?  So now I train as if I’m just going through the motions.  Like a zombie in the gym who has no purpose.

My summer journey is now over and although I failed terribly at achieving the goals I set for myself, life continues on and I look forward to autumn training.  A time to beef up and be a gym beast.  But the problem at the moment is deciding how to organize myself to hit the fall semester with ferocity and prepare for the 2010 spring baseball season. 

What went wrong this summer is that my training with the Navy actually caused me to lose weight due to the high level of activity and the low amount of food to keep my weight constant.  This was not what I had imagined for a summer in which I was supposed to put on close to 20lbs.

However I’m looking forward because my weight loss did allow me to become more agile, something I lost when I was doing heavy leg training, so now I have the opportunity to maintain my new found speed, but I am having trouble coming up with a favorable program for that while still doing exercises like heavy squats and leg presses.  *open to suggestions*

Anyway, life continues on and I’ll find my groove soon.
