    How do I get her back?

    I couldn’t agree more with your post. It’s true I do not value myself. Admittedly my family always saw me as the one that would never make it and they instilled this “he’s never going to do anything” mindset in me. My biggest accomplishment was the woman I married who cheated on me and left me...

    How do I get her back?

    I have 3 kids and she has 2. My two boys and her two boys were extremely close for the longest time. I mean they did everything together. You couldn’t tell they were not actually all brothers. Next thing ya know they start staying with her mom all the time and then they didn’t want me around...

    How do I get her back?

    First off, there is absolutely nothing wrong with what you just said and I do not disagree at all. Sometimes, the best thing you can do for someone is tell them the truth even if it isn’t exactly what makes them feel better at that current timeframe. Secondly, I am very much traumatized by...

    How do I get her back?

    It’s difficult because it’s like I’m dealing with two people. And I have severe trauma from the girl I dated before her and the coincidence in it all is both of them were in a serious relationship with the same guy before me… and many many people tell me the guy and I look very similar. He ended...

    How do I get her back?

    Well we talked on the phone tonight. She has severe trauma and PTSD from doing cpr on her dad. He’s on a life vest and on a few occasions over the last 2 days it’s had to shock him back to life or whatever. She is pushing me away and it’s got me questioning if I ever meant anything to her. I...

    How do I get her back?

    Well an update… she responded and said she was busy earlier and she’s been texting me quite a bit this evening. Talking all about her dad and the situation and stuff. She told my aunt she doesn’t want to bother me with it because she knows I have 3 kids and she’s under so much stress so she...

    How do I get her back?

    It’s difficult to take her seriously because up until that happened to her dad she was telling my aunt she missed me and was asking about me. She even admitted she never wanted to break up really and was just mad. She’s also bad to say things she doesn’t mean. Everything she’s saying right now...

    How do I get her back?

    What is sad to me is this girl has such a huge heart and she treated me so well but it was like the happier we were the more miserable her parents were because life wasn’t all about them anymore. They looked for any and every reason to hate me and she was in huge denial over that. The funny...

    How do I get her back?

    I apologize if this is long and thorough but I want to make it detailed, so I’ve been in a relationship with this girl for the last 18-19 months. She has been by far the best girl that’s ever walked in my life. One problem I admit we’ve encountered is she has bipolar disorder. She also was...

    Stalling at 225 lb bench

    Thanks. Yeah, I figured the chest was the issue too. My biggest weakness is the lowering (eccentric) phase of the bottom of the lift… I’ve noticed it’s HARD for me to get a chest pump. It’s almost always Delts for me. I can say I’ve found a few tricks to feel more chest contraction during...

    Stalling at 225 lb bench

    Thanks guys. Hearing the term “novice programs” makes me cringe at the thought of doing them (speaking from the ego) but it’s easy to forget that at the moment, that’s exactly what I should be training like… I’m a certified trainer through ACE, NASM and spent the first couple years of my 20s...

    Stalling at 225 lb bench

    I think 275 lbs was my best lift but honestly I could have probably done 2 or 3 reps with it. I used to workout with 225 on my regular sets. Maybe thinking two months in I’d be repping so much weight is a bit unrealistic.

    Elbow/forearm discomfort

    My left pec has seemingly always been stronger than the right, so you may be onto something here… It’s for this reason I’ve started to bring in a lot more dumbell. Maybe I should start doing more dumbell rowing / single arm pulldown variations?

    Elbow/forearm discomfort

    It’s mostly my left side. Not much discomfort in the right at all. Admittedly, I use a thumb over grip on pulling movements if that helps…

    Left shoulder pain when benching

    Hey guys. I took about a week off from benching and still doing a lot for my upper back. I can update this…. 1- my shoulder pain for the time being is very limited and more often than not completely nonexistent now. 2- I now warm up every pushing session with direct rotator cuff work and...

    Ya know I was just thinking this myself. Ended up getting over it pretty quick. Could have been just allergies but it felt like it was something worse. Feels good to train healthy again though!
