Lol, I know this all too well ,my job can lead too long hours and tons of mental stress sometimes. And on those days I force myself in the gym too get a ass kicking lol. I view it as ,if I can force myself threw this shit today ,feeling the way I do ,,,I'll have a great workout when I'am on my game ,,,and it works out . I feel that these days are just as benaficial as the days I feel I can lift the house .

I've hit plenty of PRs with the world around me sucking. The key is to go in, get your most important heavy work in (or alteast do what you can) and then get out.

Make the best of it. You can't get a training day back.

Everyone has bad gym days. Not everyone has "good" bad gym days.

There have been days were I walk in dead and end up having someone motivate me or just end up drilling it. Then there are days I just walk out. It is a marathon not a sprint bro. Keep the pace. Don't even think about it.

Oh I had one today.. I just try and laugh it off, then go harder next time. If you let it get to you it's just going to make the next run just as bad.

On my bad lifting when i can't seem to push as much weight I usually super set or giant set everything, it's a different stimulus and helps put my mind at ease.

I've never spent time worrying about a bad gym day. There's more days to go to the gym and waaaay bigger things to worry about. Don't take it too seriously or people will look at you like you're a gym rat/meat head. No one wants to be that guy... Tomorrow is a new day:)

Of course there are^^^more important things to worry about, one of which don't waste your time, you can't buy that back.

If you're going to train that day, be prepared! I always consider macros and hydration before I train, to avoid a "bad gym day". On those less than perfect days we all have, these things help me a lot:
BCAA before and peri and by all means bring a carb bar or 2, a gatorade and some good water, this is a game changer for me, hope this helps.

What about ice cream sandwiches? I've always had abs... Maybe those are the trick? I kid...

A bad day at the gym can be avoided. You just have to take out the discomforting factors.
