Workout days: some great, some not. Y?

froshman Posts: 441 Joined: 2003/07/12	2009/08/07, 05:44 PM Why are some workouts great and other days I feel sluggish, weak, beat etc.? Its been this way for the last decade. Some days Im on point, and other days not. Its not sleep deprivation or anything, because Ive had great workouts on days where I didn;t sleep and horrible ones where I got a ton of rest. It has to be something more subtle that Im not thinking about.

Most of these apnea occur while you are not even aware. You may want to still get a lab test done.

Even though I have had workouts where each set was a new mile stone for me and so on. Then a week later I can hardly hit close to those numbers again.... you need to take the focus off each workout and look at it from a wider view point if that makes sense. -------------- FOR MY WIFE: Her little ring was a little thing but it was all that i could afford now shes mine all mine till the day i die and i never wanted nothing more 7707mutt@freetrainers.com
