Comment on Sad, Tired, and Alone: My Ongoing Battle With Startup Depression

Comments

Zak. Please listen to me. I suffer depression, but you know what has helped me immensely? Lifting HEAVY weights.

Give it a try. Lift HEAVY weights for at least 4-5 days a week, and make it the absolute NUMBER ONE PRIORITY in your life for that month.

Closely monitor how you feel, and how your mind thinks during that month.

Try this ASAP Zak. It will IMPROVE YOUR LIFE.

P.S. Sorry if I come off as a spazz. I just really believe in what I'm saying.

Are you following any specific program?

If you want an excellent program for beginning weight training, look into Starting Strength developed my Mark Rippetoe.

No specific program, but I'm focusing on squats, dead lifts, bench press and shoulder presses (in that order). I'm lifting close to my one rep max, so my rep ranges are lower, 5-6 reps per set. No junk reps. Go heavy or go home.

Hope that helps.
