You didn’t stop working out because you were lazy.
You stopped because your system couldn’t handle it anymore.
You tried going hard.
You tried waking up at 5AM.
You tried programs and splits and timers.
But somewhere between “should I work out?” and “what’s the point?” —
something inside you burned out.
Not your discipline.
Not your body.
Your nervous system.
But what you really had was an overloaded operating system.
You pushed yourself into fight-or-flight — every session.
You trained like a machine, but recovered like a human.
And your body took notes.
