In a bad place mentally going into heavy lifts. At my strongest, went into each lift with confidence and purpose. Lost some strength and now mindset is “hopeful” to hit the lift. Anyone else... (cont)

I think it’s important to remember that everyone goes through stretches with workouts where you don’t feel your 100% best and 100% strongest. I feel like personally I’ve been conditioned to think if I have one off workout, my progress is stalled and I’ll never reach my goals. Just one of those things people don’t hear enough. Just keep pushing through it, take some time off if you need it and work your way back in

The 100% days come fewer and father between after you hit 35, too.

Go through a similar funk? Can’t seem to break it (months now...) and seeing if anyone has ideas or cues about getting back into a good headspace

1) Do you listen to music at all? I have go to songs that always get me pumped before a set.
2) do you have experiences that you can channel to get you ready for a lift? Some can be negative things or stressors.
3) go in to your set knowing you’ve done it before and your motivation can be getting there again.

I have some kind of mental issues with deadlifts now that I didn’t before. Not really sure why.

At the end of the day though, I just do what my coach programs and most of the time I do it all. If I miss a rep or two it’s usually in my last set, and I just do an extra set of a couple reps to hit my volume and let my coach tell me if technique is the problem and decide how to adjust my programming.

Does anyone here suffer from bipolar disorder? How do you manage it and working in law? I see a therapist, and a psychiatrist, and am on medication, but I still have days where I wake up and I’m so depressed I can’t move. I’m working on remedying this with my doctors, but how does one approach mental health issues with their employer? I never felt the need to until I realized how much being bipolar can affect my ability to work.

I’ve been working to an unhealthy degree lately. And I’ve been making the excuse that I have a lot of work right now, but I’m starting to wonder if I’m addicted to it. Part of it is anxiety and perfectionism. But my behavior is now actively harmful to myself and starting to harm my marriage.

How do I stop? I’m not talking work-life balance. I mean, how do I say, “I don’t care that the client wants this tomorrow and I’m not close to done, I’m going to sleep tonight”?
