Good little sess and a great pump to the arm at the end!

Back in the gym today.  The mess between me and the misses/ex(!?) meant yesterday all I could when I got home from work was collapse into sleep til about 9pm and then eat and back in bed at 11pm.  Should be a heavy leg session (out of order of work outs but I want to hit them again - want me freaky legs

Still - will give me focus to get this spot on with no distractions.

Sucks tho.

The DB benching went nutty today!  Good day!

women come and go mate but you'll always have the iron :)

Hope things work out for you.When I finsihed with the ex 2 yrs ago I really threw myself into training and it helped alot.

Weights before dates guys!!

Cheers chaps.  Thought i'd sorted it over the last couple of days.  This morning it seems not.  Just had a lovely huge row.  This really sucks.  I really want to make things work.

Well, at least I have legs tomorrow - I'm gonna make my eyes bleed and face burn red with some of the frustration/anger i've got built inside.  Use this sh1t in a positive way.

It takes two to make it work!! dont beat yourself up mate I  know its sad but thats life **** happens give it your best if it dont get sorted then perhaps its not ment to be ?? enjoy your leg workout, i dont know how people train with something like this not being sorted, it would be like a worm in my head eating away i dont like things unresolved, i would need to know for sure.
hoping you can get it sorted mate  

Hope all works out for you Papa L. 

About your energy levels mate, its little wonder you are tired, you seem to be under immense pressure.

Is there any way that you and the Mrs could get away somewhere for a few days, just the two of ye only?

As above mate if you dont get it sorted it will fester and fester and everything will suffer. Not a crime to take a few days out and talk things over, hope things go ok when you get the chance.

Thanks for all the support chaps - genuinly does mean a lot.  Nice to know that people care and have taken time out to watch out for me.

We've spent the last 24 hours working things out, spent a lot of time together and things seem to be resolving themselves.  Everything is out in the open that needed to be said and perhaps wasn't and after a good cry I think we've got things back on track.

Gonna go back to the gym tomorrow now.  Like you say Micky, taking a couple of days out isn't a crime - we need it work things back so we are a couple again.

Also the stress went straight to my stomach - the occiasonal bouts of oesophagitis I get flared up pretty badly.  Barely ate yesterday bar a few meals and the rest of the time was spent feeling sore.  So leg day on an empty tank would have ben madness.  And yes Dan, I think its fair to say the stress prolly didn't help me feeling dead on my fet all the time

BUT it looks like things have been sorted, thats the main thing!  Indeed altho it wasn't to buy her back (or so to speak) we went out and bought her all the bits and bobs she needed (and a few more lol) and all seems well.

Anyway, better shoot - we're about to go out - laters chaps!

Good stuff mate!!Now you will start to get an appetite back and start firing on all cylinders You must remember there is a relatinship there though I have gone through this with shows and almost lost all my family through my pig headedness!!!We live and learn would hate it to happen to somebody else, sitting in an empty house with a plastic trophy does nobody no good!!
