When someone first starts working out, often times they get "bit by the fitness bug". Because of a combination of hormones released when working out, the satisfaction of accomplishing something and just the overall enviorment of the gym, people can get addicted to working out.
That addiction overtime fades for some, becomes habit for others. It faded for me a long time ago, I had nothing to train for, nothing to really look forward too, and such I started drifting away from kicking ass and taking names in the gym. Slowly and surely, becoming weaker and gaining fat.
But after putting off dedicated Ninja Warrior training for so long, this year I decided to go for it, and I started training in the beginning of January and in just a short amount of time have had leaps and bounds in terms of strength gains.
Today I'm suppose to rest and all I can think about is "I need to go work out." Physically I do not need to workout right now, I should rest, but mentally all I want to do is go workout, I have been bitten by the fitness bug again. It's a wonderful feeling, you have a goal everyday, something you can look forward too, but I can feel the tension in my forearms from all the grip strength I've done and I need to get a massage.
This is why I need to plan the double daily workouts, because mentally I NEED IT. lol
Rest and eat.... maybe I can do some high intensity cardio? I could do that. That would be okay. Some jump roping, sprints and capoeira. ya..... no weights.... no pull ups..... stay away....
