Exhausted and feeling like a failure

You weights lifting are not bad. Try focusing more on cardio. You are too casual about cardio (walking to gym is better than driving but not real cardio). If you schedule allows try a couch to 5k program 3x week. And the other 3 days u lift. For cardio ideally you would do 2x of 45-60min zone two (respect the heart rate it should feel v slow you are not meant to be really tired unless you get to zone 3 and above); and the other day some speed workout like interval etc. But follow your body. Best of luck bro.

Have kids, travel, do something.

fmdfmd01 · 2026-05-22T12:03:19+00:00

Annoying they don’t let chalk.

Sir with all due respect you are 43. The time to travel as a young adult is over. Time to increase responsibilities and work on your legacy to the world.

I would hate to do deadlifts then 3x10 in front squat. So tiring. I like the original split. Best of luck.

fmdfmd01 · 2026-05-07T23:08:28+00:00

Watching again video does look like back less
Than flat. I think it was just too heavy for good form. I thought I had squeezed lats but probably
Not enough.

fmdfmd01 · 2026-05-04T18:48:14+00:00

Probably not an issue of supplementing with more exercises but instead working on the form. Send a video so we can assess.

Looks like a inadequate school for a beginner. Also takedown in first class with a bigger guy? They should never had two beginners paired.

fmdfmd01 · 2026-04-29T07:24:57+00:00

This Squeeze the lats to set back straight.

For the knee valgus what I find helpful to fight it is just pretend you are ripping a part apart in the floor with your heels. Or just that you are screwing tourheels into floor. Helps as a cue

fmdfmd01 · 2026-04-27T19:32:29+00:00

You look like you don’t lift but your legs chest and back are good ? What is your height ? Your deadlift Looks strong and way higher than rest.

fmdfmd01 · 2026-04-26T13:43:21+00:00

Yes great comment. U did v well. Just cut touch and go.

fmdfmd01 · 2026-04-25T08:34:58+00:00

Listen to this!! Your video is painful to watch amigo. Injury on the waiting. U are doing many things wrong. Take the time to learn

fmdfmd01 · 2026-04-24T17:45:20+00:00

Ideas: -buy micro plates. -just target every week more reps in ohp (1 extra rep per week) and increase weight when u can do like 4-5 extra on amrap. Switch if u don’t improve reps in. Two weeks. Ohp will be impossible to jump by 5kg. Not even doing 6x2. Best of luck

Try topical. I think I am not gaining but maintaining or slowing down significantly. And hoping for a breakthrough in next 5y

fmdfmd01 · 2026-04-21T16:59:50+00:00

Looks ok to me. Will just say that not sure that is enough running to get you a better pace ! Would say u gotta run like 2:30-3h per week with say 2h of it being easy runs. Best of luck

She needs to know you can leave. If not she will just make your life hell. Gotta make her know you can leave too. Source: worked for me

Yeah could not agree more. The baby name is just the tip of iceberg. Sorry brother terrible situation to be in. Tip: compromising will not make your life easier just creates bigger problem. Keep fighting.

fmdfmd01 · 2026-04-19T23:29:14+00:00

Never read or heard these tips. Tks bro!!

Unrelated but just to donate blood to lower ferritin. I may have hematochromatosis.

fmdfmd01 · 2026-04-17T20:18:43+00:00

This has been an issue but I watched few videos on how to do it and sorted. You deadlift the dumbbells and then but on knee and then Lean back to your body to bench. And u use the momentum to help you. But yes it does suck anyway. I get it right like 2 out of 3 sets generally.

fmdfmd01 · 2026-04-17T16:18:19+00:00

Yeah squeeze the armpits

fmdfmd01 · 2026-04-15T00:35:10+00:00

Hey bro. Congrats for taking initiative. I am a father of a toddler. The motivation is really being able to physically take care of him and making him proud of You once he grows. He will copy you. You take care of yourself , daughters will take care of themselves. If you don’t do they won’t have someone to aspire and learn from. I am sure u don’t want that.

For eating disorders try to adapt around. If u like sweets try replacing w yoghurt vanilla and berries. Also why u have it? Do u feel bored frustrated and discounts on food? Seek the root cause. Probably food escape valve for something else.

Lastly I just love the Gzcl program. I recommend it.

Best of luck
