I'm three weeks into my cutting phase, and the last week I have literally had zero energy. My eating has been about 90% on point, my workouts are intense (currently doing Shortcut to Shred). Pre-workouts, coffee and caffeine have little to no effect on me. I sleep soundly at night, so lack...

Hello all, I've been suffering major anxiety for a long time now. 2plus years roughly. I don't know how to beat it anymore. I just started taking a med called effexor about 10 days ago.

I often find myself taking on some project that interferes with any responsibilities that I have, including lifting weights. Usually, these projects require no urgency, and the benefits of completing them are miniscule, yet I become obsessed to the point where everything else goes on hold until I...
