When you can't make it to the gym...

Psychoholic · 10-27-2005, 11:28 AM

I started CKD this week, and because of some meetings I wasn't able to go to the gym yesterday, and today doesn't look too hot either, and I feel like crap!

Anybody else feel like a lazy bum when you don't go to the gym at least once a day?

GameDayDog · 10-27-2005, 12:54 PM

Nope...

... besydes there's alwayz pushups..

Which remynds me.. I used to work at nyght... Well, we'd get in trouble for sleeping.. (stupid cameras) .. so instead of sleeping.. the guys and I would have pushup contests... Well, I get called into the office on dayshift and the Head Man In Charge has got footage of ME doing pushups on the tv screen...

He's lyke - "What do you thynk u're doing?"
Me - "Uhm.. looks lyke pushups."
Him - "And why are you doing pushups?"
Me - "Cause everyone else took all the good sleeping spots."

Sigh.. I stayed in trouble on that job...

Anywayz.. life happens... just enjoy ya rest day & hit the weights hard as soon as the opportunity presents itself..

Peace..~G

I actually get really, really crabby. My wife hates it when I don't workout cause I take it out on everybody around me. I think I'm addicted, which really sucks cause then I have a tendency to overtrain. I have to force myself to not go to the gym once in a while for some time for my body to recover. It's good to not go once in a while, so you shouldn't feel like a lazy bum, but if that happens too much, then you should feel like a fat, weak, lazy bum! J/K!

No usually I push it 100% every time I do go so I need my days off to recover. I couldn't go 7 days a week without major burn out. If I take extra days off my days off then I feel guilty.

I force myself to stay out of the gym during my mass building period.

Actually, the days off are a nice change from 6-7 days per week when preparing for a show.

Last year, I only trained 3 days per week during my mass building phase.

This year, I'm going 4 days, but that's only because I'm doing legs twice per week.

If you are trying to grow, always remember your off days are just as important as your training days.

( and that means no cardio on those off days either... OFF Means OFF! )

well I'm definitely not trying to put on any more mass right now, and I only go to the gym 5 days a week (granted it's twice a day on most days to do cardio in the mornings when I get off work).

I guess tomorrow I'll combine some of the exercises I missed during the week, and adjust my schedule for next week to put ther right body parts with the right days.

As long as you don't miss any more workouts that year, it's okay...just this once...

I can relate to this. I have had an extremely hectic week and have only been to the gym 1x this week. I feel like crap too

but I will get there today and try to make up for some of it. :fingersxd

I have bands, gravity boots, and DB / BB @ home for when I can't make it to the gym

**EME** · 10-28-2005, 04:41 PM

You actually use your gravity boots for working out???

I came up with more creative uses for mine. :bigthumbu
