A couple notes today:
- My legs HURT. I am so sore and stiff and no amount of stretching and foam rolling has helped so far.
- Got a bunch of new products in today. MAN Iso-Amino (came with 4 samples of new Game Day, 2 samples of their fat burner Vaporize, a sample of Pump Powder, and a sample of PepTest Bulk), Allmax Hexapro, Hi-Tech DMAA-enhanced Off The Chain. I also got a sample of NO Explode XE, which seems to be transparently dosed but also underdosed. Oh, also got my monthly Dollar Shave Club pack.
- Getting really tired of my girlfriend making me change up my workouts because she doesn't want to do something or wants to do something different than what I have planned. She gets crabby during our workouts too which really puts a damper on my mood at the gym sometimes. Actually kind of relieved she's going home for the weekend and I won't be working out with her again until Monday.
- Weight is back up to 223!

I was surprised at the pump I got from such low rep curls. I think I'm going to start adding more heavy weight stuff into my arm workouts.
That 275 close grip bench was rough too!

Lol. So. This is a conversation on my girlfriend's phone. This is not the first time I've caught her getting involved with another guy, but I forgave her in the past and told her if she does it again we're done. So this situation should mean the end of us. I haven't told her I've seen any of this though. It's hard to let go of someone I've spent almost three years with and bent over backwards for.

Man...
Giving advise in such a private matter is hard. It doesn't seem like she is cheating on you but she cares for the other dude.
I'll pass on this one, to difficult to handle.

Just think carefully about it before reacting to it. Communication with your girlfriend is key.

The fact that she acknowledges she has feelings for him and knows what it feels like to be laying next to him raises huge red flags for me.
I think this needs to end, I just need to muster up the courage to do it.

Yep, they met in the past. Apparently NOW she declines to meet with him to "not cause harm to either one".
I understand you. Her feelings for another dude is something like "mental cheating", you expect from her to have only feelings for you.
Personally, I would have bad thoughts towards the dude, he clearly knows she isn't single and he kind of insist meeting her again..

I bet we both are very different in handling this kind of situation.

Not so different. I have feelings of beating the ****ing **** out of the guy. He acts like he's my friend when I see him.
But I also have bad feelings towards my girlfriend. I give that girl my all, day in and day out, and I just keep getting ****ed over like this.

Ok, I tell you what I would probably do. It's only hypothetical.
First I would ask myself if I could continue with the relationship.
When I think she is worth fighting for, I would give her more attention to strengthens my bond with her and diminish her feelings for the other dude.
Then I would call the dude and ask to meet him to talk about this issue.
IMHO, the guy will try to avoid confrontation and will not agree to meet -and probably he will limit contact to her.
If he meets with you:
a: calmly tell him what you think about it, making clear that you not gonna tolerate it any more, this in case he is a girly-man (nerd).
b: if it's a strong guy, bring her to the meeting and confront both asking her how this will workout in future

-problem is, I could never be sure that I could keep my calm when confronting the dude, but getting jail time -or a hefty medical bill would make me think twice to explode
 
Man the motivation to work out is not here today. Gonna push through because I know it'll make me feel better, but damn. Days like these I wish I had dbol haha.
I'm not hung over or anything but definitely feel depressed or something related to my alcohol consumption last night.

you forgave her once. so she was caught full out cheating or just talking to a guy. regardless, that has been on your mind and here you are again.

you have 2 choices here bro
1- you forgive her again and you both move on from this. you don't think about it, talk about it, you move on
2- if you cant forgive or move on from this or it hurts (im sure it does bro and it sucks, I know) the sadness you have now will heal. Not nessacarly in the next girl you meet, but time ( I know everyone says it takes time, but it does, just a plain fact) itself things will get better.

I have come to the conclusion that when the moment you are in seems to be at its worst, the there will be just as much happiness coming back around.

Were all bros here and if you need anything, just ask but make the choice soon. whatever you feel comfortable with, you are the one who has to live with this.

You're right, thanks for the advice man.
Yeah I've caught her flirting and getting "involved" with other guys two or three times before.
And one time I found out she renamed her ex's contact in her phone as some girl and had been texting him for a whole week, the whole time acting like she was just chatting with one of her girl friends.

Dedicate yourself to the iron and random tail
 
I'm sorry about the **** bam , I personally never have been cheated on or in your situation . However I did spend two years of my life being intimate with a girl who went behind my back and got with other dudes and I can relate to how it feels to be betrayed by someone you gave a good portion of your time too. Hit the weights , focus on your life , focus on being happy and doing what you e allways wanted to do . Heartbreak is what lead me AM and weightlifting and I'm thankful for it ever since .
 
And my advice bam is don't ride it till the wheels fall off, I'm a hopeless romantic and riding that **** to the bitter end isn't allways best. I'd say leave while you have dignity . Cause like you've seen if she's done it once she'll do it again.

I'm the same way and I always do this ****, hang on too long and let myself get hurt when I know I'd be better off getting away.
 
I think I'm going to wait to talk to her about this until she's back in town and I can confront her in person about it.
 
Well I was up until 4am last night/this morning, getting drunk and I barely ate anything yesterday so it's no surprise that I weighed in at only 220 today. My appetite is back and I'll gain it back fairly quickly I'm sure.
I dragged getting started but it turned into a pretty decent shoulder workout. Tried going heavy on some stuff today and I liked it.
