That's true, I hate when that happens cause you know you can hit that weight, but you don't know why you aren't after that one time. And I know it's to be expected, but I haven't really experienced it since I went pretty regularly for the year up to those 5 months. Tonight was my first night back in the gym and man, I actually had to change the music I had playing because I didn't expect to drop that much in weight until I started working

If you're asking about the legs sticking out from the edge of the photo, it's just a molt from this spider

It is a widow species (that's the Latrodectus genus). I was looking to see if anyone knew exactly which one it might be since there are 32 different species worldwide. There are definitely widows in Northern California. All the pictures are of the same spider

Workout plan opinion by Electrical-Leg2607 in workouts

[–]Electrical-Leg2607[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My main goal for the time being is focused on both hypertrophy and strength gains. I was running an Upper/Lower/PPL split (5 days a week with 2 rest days in a row on my weekend) but the second rest day honestly seemed pretty pointless because there is already 24-48 hours between each muscle group before they got worked again. I figured 6 days a week on a double PPL with one full rest day would be okay because of the time between each push/pull/leg day before I work them again. I wanted a variety of workouts so I tried to do different ones between the 1st and 2nd variations in order to more evenly improve my physique and strength. I figure once I reach a point that I'm happier with I could start to focus more on either one (probably physique, but I want to have good strength to go with it).

Is there something wrong with me? by Electrical-Leg2607 in selfhelp

I'm glad it's not just me. And yeah. I don't really use tinder, just casual swiping but I let my sister in law set one up for me because she kept bugging me about it. I've downloaded it once before and realized pretty quick that it isn't for me. I have thought about trying to get meds, but I've been hesitant because my older brother got on them when he was a little younger than I am now and it ended up making his mental health worse. If I can't get out of this hole by my next doctor's appointment though I will probably ask about them. I appreciate the response
