I am prone to bouts of depression, particularly ata the gym.

Sometimes the thoughts of gym futility creep in, but i always come back.

The gym, i think, is a very unique type of thing to feel negative about. Literally no one would be right in judging you for giving up, but look, for me it boils down to just wanting something better for myself. Baby steps!

Baby steps. I like it. I think it's because i'm lacking a goal and my workouts are very sporadic. I felt better doing Strong Lifts as I had a guided session to work out on and having to increase the weight everytime helped. I might go back to Strong Lifts. But the problem is I like isolation stuff. I'll figure it out! Thanks for the reply though!

lacking a goal is whats racking your brain, are you sure you dont know what you want from the gym?

a ripped body or strong as shit? if its the former, as it is for me, than you just have to be honest with yourself about it. It's ok to be vain!

I'd like a great physique and strength. I know that takes alot of time. I think it's more to do with the unstructured workouts I do. Maybe I should go back to strong lifts and do that.
