Fblock, Week 6, Push

Another great session, my chest seems to just lose all strength
out of nowhere once I get to the Pin Press, so at least I know
it's working hard. Left feeling absolutely massive, seeing some
great tricep growth recently.

Tbh fellas, she is lovely, she really is a great person just
unwilling to work on her traumas and the behaviours from them
can be extreme. I used to be all sorts of messed up and put
years of work into myself so I could raise kids without those
traumas fucking any kids up that i may have. So I'm unwilling to
have someone else do that to them. It's a shame because she
really has made my life better and taught me lots, opened my
eyes to many new things in life. I'm at a point where i will
happily move on, opening the door for better things.
Thank you fellas, I am enjoying my shape currently, I'm very
much looking forward to how I'm going to look when I'm leaner.

It sounds a bit like my Mrs... she has a LOT of back history and
a LOT of baggage. Childhood and previous relationships have
taken their toll on her, plus as well as her anxiety and
depression issues there are all her other health worries so
there are certainly times of high maintenance within our
relationship. Fortunately I'm one of the more chilled people
she's ever known, plus I tend to compartmentalise. I think any
other personality type and it would be a hugely volatile
relationship but I can switch off. Doesn't mean there aren't
times when it can be very challenging and she can say some nasty
things when the red mist hits and her mood is at it's lowest -
passive aggressive is her thing. I have definitely had moments
where I have asked - "is this what my chance at life is" but
while I don't make excuses for her when does go off on one I do
try to recognise why and that it isn't personal.

Honestly mate, I wish i had your mindset with it all. I'd be a
much better person for it. I have to try to be calm through a
good portion of my life. I'm investing a lot of time into
therapy, books and all sorts of tools for my mental health to
try to end up like that.

Thoroughly enjoyed this session as always. Enjoying the switch
to RDLs from squats and my knee seems to be loving it, it's
feeling very strong with next to no twinges. Nothing at all
interesting to say about it really. Hopefully I'm going to grow
some huge bloody hamstrings

I'm under no illusion (and nor is the Mrs) that if our roles
were swapped she probably wouldn't stick around like I have.
Different strokes and all that. I've been fortunate not to have
demons myself tho, so can help take on hers I guess.
Solis leg session there tho dude. Should get something out of
that you would hope.

Getting yourself back on track mentally takes a lot of work and
you've got to be consistent with it that I do know.But it's
definitely achievable just got to give yourself time and not
being hard on yourself when things take a backwards step.Stick
with it dude and you will get there.
Sessions look to be getting better and better!!

Lots of wise words here from lots of different paths. This is
one of the things I miss about forums. Genuine people giving
genuine thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement by being
anonymous. None of this sh1t shallow social media.

great to vent facelessly to so many who actually did give a damn
still

Sessions are getting better and better just recently, I'm very
happy with how trainings going. I am unfortunatly going to have
to tell my coach I can't afford him for the next few months. But
gives me an opportunity to flex the old brain muscles again.
It is nice to have somewhere to vent where nobody knows me, i
appreciate all your input as well fellas
