- checked my bodyweight, still only 180 lbs, i need to freaking eat more.

So there are the vids i promised. Form looks better than I thought it would be, as ive never seen my own squat. My hamstring is still tender so im still going to hold off any hamstring exercises.

Nice job BK!!

I'm curious as to why your stance is so wide? It's looks beyond shoulder width to me.

yea, I have really bad flexibility and I just cant really go any narrower. My hips wont allow it lol.

Are you getting enough carbs/proteins in your meals?

[BKdoubleStacker]

Are you getting enough carbs/proteins in your meals?

I'm pretty sure i am, I dont follow any diet i just eat w/e i can. Sometimes my appetite is horrible and I dont eat anything. I dont know why but over the past month or two ive been depressed and dont really know why.

[Stamina]

Depression can definitely have an impact on your results. If your getting enough protein and carbs in then you should be fine. Are you spreading out your protein/carbs over multiple meals?

I know from your journal that you train hard, so it's got to be the depression, your diet, or even lack of proper rest.

[BigGuy951]

I feel ya w/ the depression part. Went through that until my girl saved me
Best of luck to you bro.

[Warrior21]

Depression sucks. Been through that. Eat right, stay away from the bad stuff (drugs and alcohol), focus on the good in your life, training (releases endorphins and is the best anti depressant), and try and be outside (sunlight will help). Also, visit here a lot, lots of funny stuff happening!!

[BigGuy951]

Yea like the man tripping over a treadmil and falling flat on his face in front of the girl he was distracted by....lmao

[.Sean.]

For the depression make sure you're getting your EFAs (Omega 3 and 6)

[Stamina]

Oh BK, you may want to get some blood work done. Check your levels such as testosterone & estrogen levels. It would be helpful if you knew if you had too much or too little.
