@jeffnippard I’ve been staying in my friend’s basement for the past few weeks and he has a barbell and a dumbbell down there, so I’ve been getting back to my roots with some basic strength training again. A part of me likes having a minimal set up like this because the constraints force me to get creative. Working out during grief has been one of those things that I really don’t want to do but I’m glad I did once it’s done. My depression has been bad, so my strength is down a lot and for the first time I can remember, I have no real desire to workout. That said, I do find that if I just say to myself, “go in and lift the empty bar up and down 10 times, that’s better than nothing” … at least I get moving. After that, if I still want to stop, I will. If it feels fine, I’ll keep going. I usually end up finishing the workout anyway because it usually does feel better once it’s started. I’ve also taken some time away from social media and YouTube. It’s a break that I felt I needed, so thank you for understanding. I really appreciate all the support during this time and I hope you guys are doing well 🙏🏻
