Some days you're the bug, some days you're the windshield

[MXP51]

Yo fellas. I'm no pro bodybuilder and I'm not nearly as big as a lot of you… But I’m definitely one of the bigger guys at my gym and I’m usually very happy with my progress. I’m 42. I still have all my hair and I look a fuck load better than most dudes my age…

but some days… I fucking swear... It doesn't matter how big, how strong, how hard I work… some days I just feel like a weak ass little cunt. Like none of it matters.

Just got done lifting and I’m in my head a bit right now.

Anyone else have those days?

 

[MXP51]

Today, I was the bug.

 

[Seattlesbest]

All day, every fucking day. The bigger I get the smaller I feel.

 

[JKUR2903]

I am currently in the best shape of my life at 37 and still feel small most days. I hear ya man.

 

[Jbswole40]

I hear you guys..the way other people see us is Def different than the way we see ourselves..imo..good days and bad days ..ups and downs..
As long as I'm doing better than I was a year ago
I'm good with that..work In Progress,always.
Only in competition w myself atm.

Appreciate the feedback guys. Definitely makes me feel better knowing other guys do this too.

The bug definitely today and yesterday and the last few days. Moving houses and good god was it a pain in the ass. Spent like 3k within the last 5 days on god knows what. The new place is a townhome and carrying all the shit upstairs was a pain in the ass. Traps, upper back hurt, viciously dehydrated, musty, whole diet went off the deep end, been eating nothing but restaurant or fast food, feel like a fat fuck. STRESSED. Splashed all over the windshield like that bug at the beginning of men in black. Have no food at the new spot, so diet will be fucked tomorrow as well more than likely.

I can relate with the eating out stuff dude. Had an old friend in town last week and he wanted to eat out every meal. I felt like total dog shit from the grease and fried food. He's an RN and his wife don't cook so he basically lives off that shit and he's used to it. Took me about four days to get my appetite back in order.

First of all appreciate you making a post on this as we all can relate. We all tend to get into our own heads, We’re all fucked up in our own ways… just got to keep on pushing and tell our minds to make our bodies our bitch!! Day in and day out!! The highlight of my day after work is get the fuck in that gym and leave when my body gives out. Get big or die trying, right?

 

[Ziath11]

Been feeling like a bug myself for a few days now.. Sick so I can’t go to the gym, don’t wanna eat because I have no appetite, just sitting here feeling small as an ant. All that matters is we do something to better ourselves tomorrow.

Hope you feel better soon dude.

Thank you man! I hope you’re able to hit a reset tomorrow and have a better day. After all it is Friday!

 

[Doncoyote]

Thanks for the post and your honesty! I'm a little messed up and suffer from Bigorexia. Tomorrow is a new day....

Someone with muscle dysmorphia, or bigorexia, believes that they are small and skinny, despite being typically or even unusually muscular. They compulsively work out and control their diet to increase their muscularity

 

[cdubw44]

Well yesterday you got to be the bug today though you get to be fucking awesome with your hell raiser photo and apparently kick ass looks. Today is the day, fuck yesterday it did nothing for you but I didn't hurt that much? Be fucking awesome today, hold doors for ladies, tell someone they look fantastic, lift like crazy. Just be the best possible you you can.

I like to maintain strength for a month or so and focus on work capacity/conditioning when I feel like that for too many workouts in a row. I feel better and come back fresh and ready to break through plateaus.

 

[zwhit]

Fuck being the bug. Just find something else to get better at that day

 

[ruffus]

Bodybuilders are usually their own worst enemy i find.

 

[Startingover]

I bought a new property a few weeks ago, walked around it with a landscape guy to clear some brush, trees and prep a lawn. had ticks all over me after that. I was the windshield every day of this cycle until then. The last 3 weeks of travel, bad diet and poor exercise is making me feel like shit. Went to the docs, got penicillin as a precaution for the ticks. Today, I am the bug.

TOMORROW WILL BE BETTER!

Suck it up you pussy and train harder next time.

 

[GivePenisaChance22]

Maybe you're tired, stressed, had a bad couple of nights of sleep, your body feels beaten from all the training, etc. A lot of factors can cause you to feel enervated.

Life has its ups and downs; some days are challenging, while others are successful.

You make a good point as some days I feel awesome yet some days feel like the bug. I always try switching things up and even every gym session I do things in a different order or simply change out an exercise for another. In effect I take the structure and burn it down each time, so that I don't get stuck in a rut.

Muscle confusion is a great method for hypertrophy.
