Im sure havin real opinion will be much better than cruising the net find useless advice on how some new pill will give me abs of steel. Ok my question. I just had what the doc said was tonsillitis and since I had it ive just not had the determination that i normally put into my workouts, plus im weaker to, my bench has dropped 15kg. Just wondering if anybody has had a simalar problem or has any advice on how to get my motivation back? [/b] |

My advice for what its worth is to leave alone and do the above but evryone is different. Hope this helped in some small way. dave. |

This will help you fight it. You must take a break as you will recover quicker and dont worry about the weight dropping on your bench, that will come back very quickly when you are healed!! Good luck! ______________________ "Living life at 18stone 10lbs is painful. Losing weight is a challenge.

Have a week off with a good diet and plenty of protein, get loads of sleep and take it easy. You will be ready to lift the roof of the gym when you get back :twisted: ______________________ You can never have enough protein! |
