Just another way to kick eachothers' asses

I'm getting bored of my workouts again. I need to switch things up. Shoulders are getting so boring for me :/ ughhhh...
okay bad day which i'm gonna post about BUT first a lot of random shit for you to read/take a look at:

FIRST: hilarious. and so true. happens to me too.


Dear readers, it is with troublesome news I break my three months of silence.
The statistics all point towards the same conclusion: we have a global outbreak of fuckarounditis.
Fuckarounditis is a behavioral disorder characterized by a mediocre physique and complete lack of progress, despite significant amounts of time spent in the gym.
Fuckarounditis most commonly manifests itself as an intense preoccupation with crunches, curls, cable movements, belts, gloves, balance boards, Swiss Balls and Tyler Durden. Fear of squats and deadlifts is another distinguishing trait. Physical exertion is either completely lacking or misapplied (towards questionable or unproductive training practices).
Despite an alarming increase of fuckarounditis in recent years, prevalance may vary greatly depending on location. However, in most commercial gyms, it has been estimated that 90-100% of individuals are afflicted to varying degrees.
Environment and social networks are crucial factors for triggering the disease. It has been proposed that the roots of the disease stems from misinformation and counterproductive training advice found in popular media (“fitness magazines”) and information hubs on the Internet.
Human nature and the so-called “laziness”, “magic bullet” and “complacency” genes plays a permissive role for allowing the disease to take hold.
The disease spreads rapidly, as carriers of the disease communicate with other individuals in locker rooms, Internet discussion forums and other arenas of interaction and information exchange in real life or otherwise.
The onset of symptoms typically occurs in young adulthood and may go undiagnosed for a lifetime. Diagnosis is set by a professional and based on observed behaviors and physique progress.
Symptoms, preventative measures and intervention strategies are reviewed and discussed.

SECOND: i feel like this has been me lately... but i'm not sure why the importance would have dropped for me. Possibly, and most likely, because i haven't been allowed to work my legs so i feel stuck and have seen my progress go backwards which frustrates me and makes me feel like it is all pointless.

THIRD:  get rid of the bench, Minh. get your ass down.

good motivation, i think.

FOURTH: i love this. i think i need to print it and post it on my wall and read it everyday
What I would prescribe for you is to get rid of all these silly, pathetic and disgusting notions of what you think a man should look like and start over. I’m going to give everyone a huge hint here: no one gives a shit what you look like. Now I’m not saying being a fat slob doesn’t raise some eyebrows in disgust, but if you kick as much ass as possible in the weight room and conditioning field AND start OWNING the fuck out of your given “sport” (you better start competing and making your training count), you will not only LOOK better but you will feel better. People are not attracted to vanity – they are attracted to confidence and passion. No one owns a room by the way they look; it’s how they carry themselves.

So, i've told you lots about my struggle. Well i was really starting to feel back on track after our talk and of course as soon as i get motivated and on track again, stuff has to happen (out of my control) to mess that up. akA this past weekend with my family. I couldn't do the workouts i ahd planned and eat how i wanted because of them all being here which through me off and now i have been off all this week. I skipped my workout again today. FML. But another problem i've been having is i have been eating gluten and fructose (started this past weekend with my fam being here) and then my stomach hurts everyday now and so i'm like well fuck it it doesnt matter what i eat because i feel like shit so i should just eat whatever and then i do and it's just a vicoius cycle. it will take at least a week for my body to detox once i start eating properly but feeling crappy for that week makes it feel like it will never change so i just continue to eat crappy. do you get what i'm saying? but i need to be really strict and deal with the pain for a week to get better. FASDLFJA;EITAJ;LSKGDJ ugh. and i'm really wanna get better- physically and mentally. I am still headed in the rigth direction, i don't wanna go back. I've really realized that. But i have a terrible problem with comparing myself to other people and I really need to stop. I need to stop and just starting kicking ass, and be the best ME not best anybody else because i'm not them.
I really hope i can get some rest tonight and then wake up and kill it tomorrow, ii'm so tired, i got like no sleep last night :/ i don't know why.
