mainly for people that been doing it for years, have you ever felt like giving training up, because you felt you wasnt gaining.
i nearly did quite a few times, but the good old mother kept me in the game saying i come so far, dont wanna give all the hard work up.

I've never felt like giving up training (couldn't imagine giving it up), but am increasingly debating just forgetting all about nutrition and allowing myself to become a morbidly obese strong guy

Had it few times, considered getting into more endurance based stuff.
But given that cardio sessions bore the socks off me i don't see it happening anytime soon

I have considered it and actually did for a few months last year. It wasn't due to not gaining though; more because of other commitments, plus I felt a little bit burnt out and just wasn't into it as much
Didn't take long to start to miss lifting though

Yeah, after a bad session it really gets me down and I think I might as well stop, but then I sleep and my mood completely alters.

Last bulk i did about 3 sessions before i got bored
If i ever knock weights on the head i'll probably take up something similar to what boar is on at the moment, looks quite fun!

I don`t think I`ve ever given up as such more just took breaks, I`ve pretty much been like this for the past 25 years, only just started training again seriously since January having took a couple of years out, just depends how busy I am on other things but I don`t think I could ever just call it a day and walk away.

Yes, i was getting so tired of the 7 meals a day, always being knackered due to training etc. It was a time when life in general seemed to be getting to hectic, lasted about two months, in which i only worked out twice a week. Once other commitments died down, i was straight back at it again, havent looked back since. This is one of the main reason i give myself a week off once every few months.

Weirdly no. I've never felt like giving training up.
Weird because I've generally got the attention-span of a gnat and give things up at the drop of a hat.

one more serious injury and i reckon i'll stop altogether and slowly drift back to my rake like self.
dont think i can handle all the bollox that comes with getting back into a routine, training round injuries, having to use the female weights etc
all i want is 2 years injury free to see where i can really get myself.

Yes, But kept myself going by saying to myself that all the hard work so far would go to waste also I wouldnt have anything else to do with my time either and would probably get myself into trouble. Im at that stage now funnily enough due to a shoulder injury I just think whats the point I've lost so much strength already and am playing catch up, I still go gym but lifting 50% of what I was doing and dodgeing exercises that cause too much pain... I see myself giving up tbh not permanently but will probably end up taking a little break from it all

have never thought i wanted to give up
though i have wondered if i should quite a few times, often when i see people progressing much faster than me, when they put in less work and effort, and all the injuries that i keep suffereng
but there is a part of me that keeps me going, no matter what the injury, no matter how much pain im in, and driving me to progress no matter how slowly, and i think i will be like this untill the day i die
