It Really Do Be Like That Sometimes

[@redriderhitman]

When I miss a lift, even in daily training, I like to recover from it by spiraling into a deep self loathing fueled depression. It’s called “progress.”

[@Rantalanta]

Ah yes the classic

[@notablediscomfort]

I smile automatically every time, knowing I've reached a limit. A failed lift is either an indicator of lack of effort or a a lack of strength. And strength is not a moral concern.

[@joel5956]

I like to remind myself that missing a lift may not be due to a lack of physical strength. It could be from a lack of mental strength as well.

[@johnnydepp30]

I thought I was the only one who did that.

So to me at least he is a pretty strong guy making a video and having a bad day, and so for me it makes me feel better about having a bad day at the gym sometimes.

I'm glad you showed this Alan, I once nearly loaded a 100kg stone at 71kg bodyweight two weeks back, managed to get it off the ground onto my legs but just couldn't get it up high enough, then when i went to try it again this past monday i couldn't even get it off the ground. Some of these youtubers you know the ones, its all perfect reps, flawless everything, we don't see the reality behind just because that day you couldn't get the weight up doesn't mean you're getting weaker or that you're not training hard enough its just we're not seeing the reality behind these training videos which is what makes weight lifting beautiful, nothing fills someone with more joy than bouncing back from a bad day instead of walking away and giving up

Thanks for keeping it real! I tried getting a new deadlift PR last week. Got it off the ground but couldn't quite lock it in. Tried a couple more times after resting in between. I was dead in the water. I could barely get it off the floor. It's good to know that everyone has those days. Time to keep grinding and I'll get it eventually. I walked away happy knowing I about had it and determined to make it happen. I know that's what you would do.

​@@VA7Vlad its hard to find any coaches where i live . In fact. most people here have barely heard about powerlifting, they still believe squats are bad for your knees for example. He is pretty strong, just lazy overall especialy with the organization of the gym. His programs are waaaay too hard to follow (too much volume) so i dont usualy do everything that he tells me, but they still gave me some pretty good results. Im not a strongman or a powerlifter, i want to get strong because of jiu jitsu, so its enough for me. I'd love to try some online programs but the dolar is way too expensive for me now, so i cant hire someone else.

@@supern0is349 Dude, buying a template, even an expensive one, is wayyyy cheaper than paying a shitty coach who you don't like and doesn't work for you. Just look at Stronger By Science (Greg Nuckols and pals) with a bundle of 7 (very highly rated) programs for 10$ PWYW. BBM's templates are on the more expensive side and are still far cheaper and (imo) better than a bad coach. I'd sack that guy off and try going solo for a while.
