No game until next Friday so hopefully I can heal up fully and be good to go!  Can't wait to get back to bigtime lifting after the season though. Glad to hear things are going better. You may have mentioned this before, but I forget, do you play in High School or College? Sophomore at high school. Unfortunately I don't believe I will be good enough to play college ball haha Edit: Congrats Mordek!
Nice! Keep it up And playing college ball is a pretty insane time commitment, besides being hard to get in to. Don't be like my friend who played football in high school and keep eating like you're playing after you stop (he gained over 50 pounds in the year since we graduated)

Oh yeah. Eating is definitely something I will have to control at university. Hopefully I will move onto olympic or powerlifting in college as a hobby though!

I can't really get into my workouts lately. I just mentally don't really want to lift the weights :/ It's probably because of stress from school and having to deload my squat again to fix my form :/// When will I ever reach 2bw deadlift and 1.5bw squat for my 5rm

I just PR'd my squat for the first time in like 3 months. If I were you I'd still be stoked I still had so much room to grow. Bask in it and appreciate it while you can.

My form kind of degraded for the last reps of each of my sets in my exercises, but overall not so bad. It kind of sucks that I don't have smaller increments for increasing (next size up is 25 lbs from 15) but I guess it wasn't so bad. I just really need a squat rack.
I'll just stall my lifts for next week and make sure my form is ok. I think I'm going to have to keep stalling my lifts just to make sure the form doesn't get too sloppy.

Thanks everyone! Things are coming along. Hopefully we get to meet her tonight :D

After almost 9(?) months of lifting I just expected to reach those numbers. I just am not eating enough right now and definitely not sleeping enough. Fuck man. I barely have time to go to the gym. I love both math and physics and all but this is getting rediculous :/

If you are improving even slowly, you are improving. The moment you start to give up is the moment you stop improving. I know you set goals for yourself, and its a downer not to be able to reach them as fast as you would like... But try to focus on who you become through this rather than what the end goal is. How you can enjoy it besides reaching a goal or six pack abs.
If you don't have all the time in the world to commit to it, then don't expect all the results. You can enjoy it regardless

Cmon man be strong. Concentrate on what you want; do you want to be strong as fuark? Or do you want to just look good. Envision your goal clearly and then focus on what you need to do to achieve it. I'm sure that if I can study 60 hours a week and lift 5x, then you can do your current program. Gotta focus! And get enough sleep, it gives dividends.

I prioritized looking good, so I'm still stuck on the same lifts I had a year ago, along with some fresh injuries.But at least I'm back down to 90kg, and I'm never getting fat again -_-

Thanks, cool to see you can find the time to lift 5x. What do you study? I want to be strong as fuark, and look good ^.^ I really try, but I keep waking up after just 6 hours and it's hard for me to fall asleep. I just can't stop thinking.

If being tired and working out only gets you 6 hours of sleep a day and you still keep thinking about things, you may consider things like meditation or other breathing practises to calm your body and mind. Figure out how to sort out your mind, what is bothering you so much? (Yeah I know that other people keep thinking about things day in and out, but 6 hours of sleep persistently isnt normal)

I'm still thinking about my studies really. It's like my body is completely tired but my brain is still sprinting the 100m.

I used to have trouble going to sleep in a timel manner and what I learned that worked for me was to focus on my breathing, and try to count to 100 while laying completely still. Any time you move start the counter over again.

But handling babies reduces T-levels. Get your wife to do it !
Also, when I have a kid (10 years hopefully :p) I plan to raise him spartan/chinese style so he grows up a beast and crushes everyone :p (yup, compensating on kids)
Feed him meat regularly, have him watch me lift till he begs to join me, etc :p
