Been MIA for a while dealing with some family issues. Mentally and emotionally drained to where Ive withdrawn from society a bit.
Only constant has been my training which is the only thing keeping me sane at times.

Shout out to BWL for their outstanding service and products in 2023. Always on time and on point.

Currently sitting at 210lbs

Looks like you’re doing a fantastic job getting to the gym. Sorry to hear about personal things getting you down, my jiob gets to me like that at times so I can relate. Keep the momentum going & a level head, this too shall pass.

The gym is the only place I seem to be able to just forget about everything for an hour or so and clear my head and feel good afterwards.

I keep telling myself exactly that "this too shall pass" just tired of dealing with bullshit that I shouldnt have to be dealing with at this point in my life.
Appreciate the support brother.

For what it?s worth you?re not alone. I just paid off ex #2?s bills not too long ago. Now I?m trying to stop child support for ex#1. Let me tell you that?s a chore. It?s SO easy for the female to get it, garnish your wages to make sure they get it. Then use my money to support her dead beat boy toy, who happens to be on Thorazine for schizophrenia (totally serious) & support their bastard child they have together. To top it off she had him moved in playing house with my daughter there. They have separated but he still comes around to see his son.

Anyway I just try to keep my head up & plug away at life no matter what it throws at me. Of course there?s many different stories I could add about this situation but the bottom line is he knows me & has known me for years, he won?t harm my daughter & for that I?m grateful.

Sounds like you got a lot on your plate as well. I'd have a hard time dealing with another guy being around my daughter especially one not right in the head that's for sure.
My wife is always reminding me that everyone has shit and we're not the only ones.
We made our son move out 10 years ago because of his drug usage. He's since gotten married and was having financial difficulties and against my better judgement I agreed with the wife to let them move in so they could get back on their feet and we're right back to where we were 10 years ago with the drugs and bullshit. Everyone told me I was making a mistake but how do you sit back and not help your kids when you know they are struggling? I realize now he hasn't changed one bit, he's 10 years older and pretty much still the same drug addicted kid I made leave years ago.

Like you I do the best to keep my head up and do what I need to do to survive this game of life. Thankfully training is great therapy. If it wasn't for the gym I'd probably be drunk everyday. lol

As always brother, thanks for sharing. It definitely helps.
Hope things work out for you with the money situation.

That?s a tough one. Tbh I?d probably do the same & give them another chance. Now you know without any reservations that you did the right thing 10 years ago.

The money thing isn?t honestly that big of a deal, no I?m not rich by any means! lol! If it doesn?t work out that I can stop it now it?s just over 2 more years until my daughter turns 21 & it will stop anyway. I figured up I?ve gave that cheating slut over $85k over the last 13 years, I?ll bet money my daughter didn?t se 1/4 of it. I?m just done providing for moms bad decisions, I?ll still help my daughter but it will all go to her.

It?s very hard knowing my ex subjected my daughter to this lunatic. I?m not a tough guy by any means, I?m just a father that will go to the ends of the earth to protect his daughter. I?m sure the shit bag knows that.
 
Looking great Slin. I have three ex wife's spread out over a very long time span, lol, enough said. :ance2:

Thanks boss!

So I guess things aren't so bad for me after all. I'm fortunate enough to be with the same woman for 39 years now. Not sure how because I've done some stupid shit in the past and not sure why she stuck around but I thank God everyday we now have the best relationship we've every had.
Couldn't imagine dealing with 3 ex wives. I'll count my blessings and wish you the best of luck as well. Also happy to hear your now cancer free brother. :angel:

Ain't hat the truth man. I've been dealing with some issues keeping me away from the gym and have no release at all. Before this shit, I hadn't missed a day in years.

Looking sharp dude.

Thanks brother!

The gym has always been my therapy. If even just for an hour man it allows me to just regroup and get ready for the next round of bullshit. Lol

Gotta find a way to get back in there bro. You know you'll be glad you did.
Hope everything works out!
 
Sorry to hear about your situation but it's great you have your outlet of solace which is the gym and I think it's a great way to keep yourself sane.

Looking great btw!

I get it, life happens. I?ve been in a serious funk myself. Once I get home I just don?t want to go anywhere. I guess you could call it depression, job related, everything else is fine.

My plan is to get back at it this week! I know once I start & get bit by the gym but again, I?ll be consistent & back on track. I need to stop with the excuses & just do it.
 
I?m glad we have the iron to get us threw life!! Some count on drugs or alcohol, but that only digs you deeper into a hole. The iron is more mentally satisfying and you can stay there as long as you need or go back and do it again in the same day if that?s your cup of tea. It has helped me threw some real battles in this life journey.

Great looking pics brother. Keep it up, keep the head down and keep pushing!!

Agreed, the iron helps keep me sane too as I'm getting older. Staying active and working out helps keep your mind sharp and your body strong!
 
Youre not alone. My wife, its been 41 years now, has alzheimers. Its been several years since tge diagnosis so its pretty well advanced. She's still ambulatory, but i bathe her, change her diapers, feed her, take care of literally everything. Luckily i have a useless pot head unemployed dead beat son, our youngest, he's 35, our okdest is 40 now. But i let him move back in a whike back and he watches her and takes care of her during the day. I was ready to kick him out again several times but now glad i didnt. And our relationshiphas grown closer, both my wife and the son. There's a silver lining there somewhere. Youll probablyjust have to wait it out to see. Weights are my stress relieftoo so i know exactly what youre saying. Youll be fine.

I think its just that time of year especially if you live in a colder climate area. Hard for me to get anything done when the Sun hasn't been out in 4-5 days and its cold AF. I hate going out myself. Lol

Trick is just to get there. Once your at the gym everything starts falling back into place.

That's a whole hell of a lot to deal with brother.

Been through that with my mom and now my mother in law. God bless you bro!
I didnt and still dont have what it takes to deal with that disease. So my deepest respect goes out to you. Most would put their significant other or parent in a home. I did with my mom. Recently watched my mother in law for 4 weeks and I was ready for the nut house. Just dont have that kind of patience.
Glad things have worked out as best as possible for you with all invilved. Lord knows id love to have a better relationship with my son.

Sorry to hear of that and hope you can spend as much time with her and good to see your son finally turning himself around. Keep nurturing that newfound bond and he should be able to help you care for her. if you have a visiting nurse that could be of help I am sure that would be a good thing too as Alzheimers is very hard on families.

Hang in there and yes channel your stress and anger at the iron!
 
To me you look much heavier than 210. Very well done, brother!

Thanks bro!!

Was kinda hoping to share a stage with you this year somewhere but looks like between your health issues and my hip replacement coming up in April that probably won't happen this year. But never say never.

Hope things are coming along well for you.
 
I need to cut down like that. I really need some help with my shit but I am having surgery tomorrow so that's gonna be put off but man, I am jealous, doing it right bro keep it up.
