Man, I've realized the past two weeks that my fire is just plain gone. I'd spent the last 3-4 months preoccupied with chest/arm/back pain on my left side, and frankly I'd been scared to push myself too hard because of that, although I did keep up my normal routine and stayed relatively constant on weight. I then took 2 of the 4 weeks of Xmas break b/c of that chest pain (and doctor's visits) and some other stuff, not the least of which is the fact that I hadn't taken more than 3 consecutive days off in the last 8 years. Well, now that a heart condition has been ruled out as the cause of my pain (leading me to believe what I'd thought/hoped all along, that it's a nerve inflamed/impinged somewhere) I'm trying to get back to my old self in the gym..................but that fire that once burned hot under my ass seems to be gone.
It seems like I just go thru the motions now, instead of pushing myself to get better. Due to the time off, all of my lifts are down considerably (i.e. final chest workset of last semester was decline 365x2, now 275x4-5 whoops my ass), and it just seems like I don't have that drive to get them up like I used to.
What the hell can I do to light that fire back? Lifting and golf are the only two things I really enjoy, and I only get to do the latter about 5-10 times per year now, if that..........I've GOT to get my desire to lift big back.....WTF can I do?
