Pre workouts or train before work.

Go, show up and do some exercise. If you feel exhausted, go home. But SHOW UP!!

Get to the gym at 7AM and start with a scoop of Mr Hyde. You'll be rolling and it's a great way to start the day.

Go to the gym.

This may go against the lift as much as you can school of thought, but it fits very well with the functional fitness school of thought I subscribe to.

Adapt your workout approach. Take dumbbells to work and work our during your day. Do body weight exercises and yoga type stuff. Wear a weighted vest or small backpack and sprint up and down the stairs. Get a complete set of resistance bands (big circular loop ones) and you can pretty much do any exercise. You can also double up say 60kg and a 20kg or any combo to make heavier/more progressive resistance. I’m looking a getting a small plank of wood to run the band under for squats -deadlifts and stand in it so the band doesn’t try to push my feet together when doing heavier weights. Buy a pull up bar and keep it in your office.

Basically work out and get paid.

Edit - also if you start making health/fitness part of your persona at work it can open doors as in making new friends, enhance your reputation, conversation opener, get involved in whatever workplace health committee there is, push for a gym at work, start up classes, a lunchtime workout group etc, use it as an opportunity to develop your leadership - encourage others to workout etc get people in to do a talk - pretty soon you’ll be opening all sorts of doors and turning a negative into a positive. Make your own luck !

I work out. I may do it more slowly, consciously to avoid injuries, but I still work out. Can't have mastery over women if you don't have mastery over yourself.

Walk out of the door, that’s all you have to think about.

Actually don’t think, just do. Thoughts on zero, and go.

Set a goal to try this for a week, you’ll get used to it and your body will adapt.

Working 8-hour days is unbearable. I would quit the gym and go home. It's just too much to handle.

You might need to switch to a gym closer to work. If that doesn't work, take a cold shower when you get home from work to wash the day off of you before going to the gym. If that doesn't work, start waking up earlier so you can lift before work.

I know exactly what you're going through. Went through the same thing when I used to work at a hospital. I'd even get nose bleeds from being too tired at work. I'd force myself to the gym even if I was tried. It resulted in less sleep and shut work performance. I had to constantly be drinking coffee amd water and eating to stay up. The dry and cool air of the hospital, plus the monotony of every day work, plus the commute etc etc, it was dreadful. But I made it work until I couldn't anymore.

I heard this a long time ago when I first joined a gym. Old dude that was just huge and had wicked amounts of wisdom tells me this. There are only two times when you should work out. When you want to and when you dont want to.
