    Have been pounding it since March.  Got the bod in pool condition and now losing the edge.
     
    I'm sure this is normal.  What's the solution?  Just wait until things sag and then do it all over again or scale down a bit?  Maybe twice a week?

    Still eat very well but not feeling the urge to lift any more weights.  The cycling gave me jock itch which I'm not fully recovered from.  It's also hotter than heck outside.

    Maybe a little swimming?  Maybe that's the ticket.

    Good thinking...... I'll just eat well and work out whenever I feel like it for couple months and when the weather cools down, will feel the energy.

    It's normal. Try to stay active by doing something fun, but the key is don't trash your diet

    I gained about 25 lbs on my bulk and got a long stronger, but had to bust out the 34" pants today; hence it's time for me to start cutting

    Good advice and Thanks !!!!..... That's Exactly what I wanted to hear
     
    Get bored with weights and I like cycling and tennis but the jock itch is a pain in the ass.  But I'll go for a good bicycle ride tomorrow and then probably end up at the gym the same day
     
    By the way, the spray on Tinactin is magic.  Almost cleared up in two days

    Yo Shrimp:
    Start swimming.  I started last year when I got into doing these tri's.  It is awesome.  It is a great feeling when you get out of the pool and are like,"damn, I just swam a mile today."  I would start slow though, swim down and back at an easy pace concentrating on form - then rest about a minute or so, then go down and back again and so on...
    Eventually you want to go in there and knockout 10 laps (down and back 10 times) without stopping - trust me you will feel it all over your body.  (9 laps equals a quarter mile).

    If you don't swim much it may motivate you because it is something new.  Just a suggestion...

    I'll give the swimming a go.  My trainer is out of town for two weeks and I'm relaxing.  Although have been to the gym two days in a row anyway.

    I guess it's like everything else.  Always gotta stay moving !!!!
