Was it something you needed to do to accomplish something?
Put the past behind you to move forward?
Break up with someone?
A move to another state or perhaps another country without your family?
Whatever it is, share your personal stories! (only if you want to, of course!)

Probably grapple a ton of guys that ranged from 185 to 335 lbs on an empty stomach from 10:00AM to 12:15PM on a Sunday morning. My ribs, back and neck were brutally f---ed up for 2 days straight, and I was given permission by my coaches to take the rest of the week off.

That's not a great idea kid, I've went for a run on an empty stomach as it's a great way to burn fat, but grappling is punishment. You need plenty of nutrients, amino acids, carbs etc to fuel your body to prevent damage and injury, seriously you need them so that ya muscle fibres don't burn out too. I imagine you're coaches didn't know that you didn't have any energy, I imagine also if they did they wouldn't recommend that at all. If you were cutting or something then fair enough.

Did you go and see a sports massage therapist for your back and neck?
I am constantly rubbing my husband's back, neck & shoulders... The deep muscles are so lumpy and grissly. Yuck.

I had 6 strips of turkey bacon, and plenty of water, but I underestimated how long that would last me. I was trying to be careful because my stomach can very sensitive at times.

My wrestling coach is also a licensed chiropractor, but he left early, so I had to wait 2 days before I could get fixed up.

Most recently, getting back in shape. Doing P90X 6 days a week for 3 months. Physically it was realy demanding, knowing after a long day at work i would have to exercise for 1.5 hours later in the day sucked!

If im being serious for once in my life, then probably doing compressions on a dead guy. Then, putting one of his dead kids in a body bag. That was a pretty shitty day.
