Tonight I was supposed to work out arms but decided not to because I was feeling like crap. Did not get enough rest the night before or drink enough water during the day from sleeping late. I've decided to go to sleep right after I finish posting this and work them out early tomorrow. Tell me was this a smart choice or should I have just pushed myself to just say fuck it and go anyway? I'm just a little down on myself because I was consistent for almost 2 weeks and fucked up tonight. It's weird. 2 weeks ago I could care less about what I ate and how much of it I ate. Now if I miss just 1 meal or forget my protein shake in the morning I get like panic attacks like oh shit my gains are going to be fucked now.lol I know it's in my head but when you start making it a part of your lifestyle the little things really start mattering to you like "damn didn't quite get a gallon of water down today".lol IMO I don't think it is a good idea to workout when your feeling like crap, but I could be wrong maybe pushing yourself to go anyway is the key.

Rest is a good thing bro. Taking a day off will benefit you. Remember, you grow when you're out of the gym.

I've missed 3 workouts because of car problems. I know when I get to the gym, I'll feel better. As long as your diet is decent, a little rest shouldn't hurt. :)

Bro,
One workout does not matter! What counts is, what did you do this week? this month? This past three months? This whole year? You are the average of all your work! In the big scheme one workout does'nt matter. (Just don't skip any more!! LOL) One protein shake does'nt matter. Try to add up all your protein for the year. Wow!
Give your self a break. Give your self permission to listen to your body.

I used to think I had OCD of workouts. I used to rush in the gym 20mins. before they closed, and try to get in 20 sets of chest. No More!!

IMHO your body seems to grow better when your are in a more relaxed place.
Train, Eat, Grow. Enjoy your life. I love what I do!

Nice post Graybass.

My advise is to listen to what your body is telling you. 90% of your gains is from diet, exercise and rest. The other 10% is from....well you know what it's from.
