Great advice! It really is important to celebrate your past victories. You have worked hard at this. Earned everything you have accomplished.

I will never forget and I don't plan on going back that way.

Mini-victories are great, and sure reinforce the positive aspects of focusing & working out.

MorticiaAddams sometimes we think or progress isn't good enough I find those to be the best time to look back at where we used to be

chrisw77 thanks! I'm in a really good groove right now learned from past mistakes and just feel great. This bulk has been a huge success I'm Lifting less days and making more progress funny how that works lol. I'm doing an upper lower split twice a week and have 3 days of recovery a week. I was noticing the heavy deadlifts twice a week were really taking a toll on Me so I only deadlift once a week now and I'm still adding 5 to 10 pounds every week while keeping the reps the same

That's one of the major misconceptions. In reality, now can sometimes be less. I was just thinking about writing about that the other day.

Just remember, the goal of training is to stimulate growth, then recover. Depending on your eating, sleeping, stress levels, etc, you may need more or less recovery time than someone else. To that end, recovery is as important - if not moreso - than the lifting itself.
