I'm in the "dark days" John Broz talks about.

Lifting all the time and all my lifts are going down. It always hurts to walk.

The weirdest part is the emotional end of it. Broz talked about it, but I didn't think it would hit me that hard. I'm a pretty laid back, relaxed person who's happy almost all the time.

But lifting like this, Broz warns about the hormonal downside. It's a painful draining trip.
