Approved Log My Competition Log 2025 - ChasetheCase

Hi yeah I've unfortunaty had a few issues, and now a holiday which has set me back loads. Only back this weekend. I'm still hovering around the same weight, but have lost a bit of strength. My overall goal is still the same, but way too out of reach now in the time. It's even pointles for me to jump on a cycle now. Need to get my base strength back to where it was for a few months before.

Makes total sense... no point jumping on if the base strength and consistency aren’t there yet. You’ll get way more out of it once you’ve rebuilt that foundation and momentum again. I'd say give yourself a good 8 to 12 weeks of clean eating, consistent training and progressive overload... then reassess.

Thanks @hubbles some very wise words and great feedback to hear for reassurance. Obviously everyone goes through these periods but makes it hard to be motivated when it feels like they are on top of each other.

Thinking of motivation I heard an interview with Usyk talking about how he often doesn’t have motivation, it’s not motivation which is needed to succeed, it’s dedication. Will find the clip and share.

I was wrong it was discipline.
