I also struggle with the reason to go sometimes. This time of year it's easy because of New Year's Resolutions to keep me motivated. I did pretty good with consistency last year, but look forward to seriously improving in that regard this year.
I'm also a big fan of experimenting. I've been trying out different techniques for a while now and I think I'm finally figuring out (or at least starting to figure out) what my body reacts to. One program definitely doesn't fit all!
I'm not surprised that the numbers were that high. To some guys supplements are like makeup is to women. It would have to be one major recession/depression for them to stop using it!
you make a great point. It seems that most of the fitness blogs that I visit lately are talking about stuff that was done in the past and they're bringing it back into the light. Makes me wonder what the next 'revolutionary' thing could be in this sport...
