Time to Regroup, Enough is Enough...

[Piti]

Ok, so its been about a year and change that I've been lifting. Starting off at a skinny 110lbs, I've come to work my way up to the 150lbs that im at now. I've gained good muscle mass and have gained nice size that I love and my numbers in the gym are fine.

Heres the thing, lately, I'd say for the last 2 months I haven't been my usual 110% dedicated true lifter, the one whos always on top of his meals, his supp's, the training, all that...Its just life has been a bit hetic you can say, but no excuses, i just dont know what has been happening to me lately. I haven't been taking my creatine, and on off days I'll forget to drink my protein shake, im not doing cardio, my meals are whacked up, i wont get all my gallon of water in, its horrible, and I had to take a week off due to my injury, then this week that just passed I trained only 2 times due to the fact I had no time and plus being sick and with christmas shopping and the whole nine yards, im just sick of it and its now time to get my shit together guys...

So today starts a new beginning...I stand in the mirror and look at myself, and I want to keep building size, but I want to get a bit harder and leaner but still keep adding the mass. Its something I really want to do, what KEY suggestions do you guys have for me..I guess I gotta get the protein in and watch what I eat, and the two main things also I haven't been consistent with are my water and cardio.

I'm on a 4 day split, but I've made the decision to go back to 3, being Mon - Chest and Tri's, Wed - Back and Bi's, and Fri - Legs and shoulders. And with that I'll being doing my 3 big lifts, The Bench Press, The Deadlift, and the Squat. Now as far as cardio, with my goal being to continue to put on some size but keep it lean, where do you guys suggest I throw in my cardio, and for how long a session??..maybe on sat and sundays?? 30 min??..Let me know guys, I really need the support here...and btw, is the 2.5g pre and post workout for CEE im doing ok??..and btw, is the 2.5g pre and post workout for CEE im doing ok??..

Well I'd really appriciate if you guys read this and replied, you have know idea and I appriciate all the concern and support...But like i said today, I take my whey and CEE, get my meals in, my water, train hard, and rest and keep doin' it, no more bullshit, enough is enough..

First off don't beat yourself up over it. It is almost impossible to stay dedicated and full force ALL the time. Just stay consistant as possible and that is all we can do.

I myself have been waivering a bit as of late just as you, it happens to all of us. Just focus on fixing one thing at a time, don't go and try to get everything back up to speed overnight. Just take it step by step, no reason to go and stress yourself out over this. I usually take time like this as my "rest" time and I will go in the gym and lift about 60-70% of my max weights and sorta cruise a bit for a week or two to give my body a break then come back full force so that way I don't have to schedule in breaks since naturally we will almost always get behind.

You don't ahve to cruise, that is just what i do, but just try not to gbeat yourself up over this.. Just work back in it slowly.
