I read between sets. Every sidebar book I've read and about 3-4 others have all been read at the gym in the last 10 months. You will stand out a bit, but it definitely helps add more value to the time spent. My biggest hangup with working out is that it takes so long that I sometimes feel like I'm wasting my life. Reading fixes that problem for me.

I didn't start lifting seriously until I started a sport that made me want to be stronger. Maybe do a sport?

Some guys around here want to have Adonis bodies and that's cool but it's hard to lift for the girls, it's easier to lift for victory.

I've noticed if the gym is getting boring you aren't lifting hard enough or challenging yourself enough.

Sounds like you don’t have any goals in the gym you’re working towards. I get bored too if I’m just maintaining. Try either training for a sport or a competition. Or try to come up with a plan to hit certain lifting benchmarks in the major lifts. If you’re just maintaining with no real purpose, of course it’s going to get boring after a while. If you’re not getting better you’re getting worse.

And of course this is easier said than done. I’ve been busy starting a new company recently, so my lifts have mostly been for maintenance. And of course I’m bored as shit and can’t wait to get out of there. This post helped me recognize why I’ve been so bored at the gym recently. Whenever I have specific goals I’m working towards, it’s usually fun to be at the gym.

If you're already at a solid place and maintaining then just switch things up a bit. There's plenty more fun ways to get exercise, just come back to lifting more when you feel like it

How long have u been going to the gym for? I have 8 years and I have never gotten bored of it.

It can get stale if your is routine is the same for a long time. Personally, I don't mind it. I think about how gorgeous I will look after a few weeks if I do this. That is enough motivation for me.
