    Maybe your original idea is best, just give up. You either want it bad enough to fix it, or you don't.

    Hmm... NO.

    If you aren't setting any new PR's it's because you aren't working hard enough and maybe not eating enough as well. That's on you, don't blame it on the weights.

    So i've been lifting for about the last year. Things were going well, and then all of a sudden.i just stopped caring, i saw some results but i really haven't gotten any new PR's in a long time. The only thing I have been progressing on is Deadlift. I have been running alot recently and I find that I am progressing faster when it comes to running. I don't know, maybe it's just me.

    Thoughts? (Trolls welcome as well, its gonna happen anyway)

    That's blasphemy!!

    Weightlifting should never get tiring. Maybe you are just tired of the same routine? Perhaps working with cables or doing different exercises other than the usual ones will help. Running is great but its also important to add some strength training to your routine as well. How about calisthenics ?? Push-ups? Sit-ups? Pull-ups ?

    At those numbers, I'd then start 5/3/1 with 5x10 big but boring assistance. If you are eating enough and resting enough there is no reason why you won't progress. It has a mixture of high and low reps which is good for strength and hypertrophy. Good luck :)

    Oh and pullups with resistance band. Then go lighter, and lighter until you are unassisted.


    what is 5/3/1 and i'm probably not eating or resting enough

    do you want me to lift the weights for you too?

    try the google machine

    i mean if you could that would be great

    Wow.

    And again someone is willing to give you advice on how not to be tired of lifting and you have to respond with snark.

    Forget lifting. You need an attitude adjustment.

    Well, you have had lots of good advice here, and knowledgeable people willing to take the time to help. But because of your sarcasm and online communication style, you seem to be turning people off because it is coming across as indifference or unwillingness. The sarcasm might fly in person where people can pick up expression and tone of voice, but that doesn't come across that well here, in this situation. If/When you are serious, I suggest you shelve the sarcasm and be straight up for best results.

    Sorry but with all the snarky "poor me I suck" responses you're coming up with to people who are trying to help you out in your situation and giving you good, quality advice no. I don't get it when you're being sarcastic.

    Does that mean the entire thread has been one, big sarcastic joke? :huh:

    no the thread is very real, it's just hard to interpret sarcasm through text. Which reading back the statement did sound like it was snarky
