I was able to squat 140lbs last month but now I can only do 100 😭 anyone experience something like this? I don’t know what’s specifically wrong other than I feel weak.

Your workout capacity on any given day is a function of: sleep. nutrition. hydration. stress. recovery from previous 2-3 days workouts.

Whether it’s squatting or running or whatever.

Without knowing those variables, it’s hard to say but it’s certainly possible. And we all have off days. there are days I struggle in my warm up weights for no reason.

⬆️ my best workouts are between 11-2; too late and I’m beat. Leg day or if you do power lifts that recruit multiple muscle groups are impacted most.

Make sure you are warmed up.

Make sure you have salt in your diet - many times when we feel gassed - it’s not carb deficiency it’s salt. But if you aren’t feeding yourself the right fuel...you won’t be able to continually set personal bests or see improvements.

Over the last few years I’ve allowed myself to gain 40 pounds. I often feel uncomfortable and unattractive in my own body, and I fear that the extra weight puts me at greater risk if I were to catch Covid (though I am vaccinated). Despite all this, I struggle to find the motivation to change. I have lost weight before, but it all came creeping back. I feel very cynical about trying to lose it again. I guess I am just not unhappy enough to try again. Has anyone been in the same boat?

What do you do to automate you lifestyle/remove decision fatigue to reach your health and fitness goals? For example: I meal prep so I know calories and macros of all my meals without having to count each time M-F (unless going out with friends/SO) and I run first thing in the morning the same 4 days every week. I’ve found that making healthy habits a part of my lifestyle and routines makes them easier to stick to and would love any additional ideas!
