Getting Motivated [GYM]

I hope that none of you get motivated because I dint want my gym crowded in January with resolutioners.

I haven't been to the gym in a minute but the biggest motivator for me was seeing my body change. Striations, definition, increased vascularity; I was really liking the way I was starting to look. I just felt better overall. Posture also improved tremendously which attributed a lot to my increased confidence. People were also noticing and I was getting a lot more attention from women so that helped as well.

Had to remind myself that I would get 0 results if I sat home thinking about the gym but not actually going. Sure a lot of guys start lifting because of women but your biggest motivator has to be yourself.

Used to smoke a lot of weed too and just sit home but as soon as I quit I found myself heading into the gym more often.

What else would you be doing? I look forward to days that I get to work out because I'm not doing shit otherwise. Also, if you're just starting and haven't really found your mojo yet, push through it for like a week. Eat clean and be consistent with lifting and by the end of the week I promise you'll see results. Nothing makes me want to keep hitting the gym more than seeing my sexy arms get a little bit bigger, or noticing a vein that I didn't have before, or maybe some fat loss. Just keep keepin on, man.

1) Set goals. I wanted to squat 100kg for reps before Christmas. Ended up doing it on the 23rd. Next up: 140kg 1RM deadlift (won't happen until i fix my form though). You can also set a longer term goal, such as a body that is attainable in 2-3 years without steroids. My goal body is a gorilla silverback. Also run a specific program. SS is very recommended.

2) Push yourself for a few weeks. Once you get to decent weights, it feels fucking good. I lift 3 times a week on SS. Even some off days I feel the need to go. If I miss an actual workout I am desperate. Fuck you Christmas for closing up my gym.

3) Ironically, I found the discipline required to lift through NoFap. I've since stopped NoFap, but I learned to tap into my discipline. Getting your ass to the gym 3 times a week is a small feat compared to leaving your dick alone for 60 days.

/r/progresspics or /r/brogress are my motivation

/r/keto adaptation combined with /r/NoFap after day 4 or so makes me feel like I need to do something physical.

Hire a coach. My stupid adhd screwed me around in my motivation department, so when I learned about it, I had to let go of my pride and started paying money to teachers, coaches, courses and classes to learn things I'd like to do. Yes, it eats quite a bit of cash, but I rather have it like this that sit at home procrastinating

actually I have never understood these "gym excuses". for me it has always been fun and I feel great after workout (~9 years). u dont have to die on treadmill or do 500 pushups or whatever crap u read online, just find exercises which you like and do them. the hardest part is to overcome laziness -> get up from the couch and go :).

I was having this problem. I switched to bodyweight workouts. Do ALL the PUSHUPS.

There is always time to do anything that you make a priority.

I am too lazy to go to the gym so I workout at home.
