How do you motivate for work outs?

Why bodyweight routine?

Motivation is pretty simple. I feel awesome when I do it, I feel disguised with myself when I do not.

I ride a bicycle to work, the gym is on my route home. It was easier to go then than motivate myself to leave from home. And then I'm lugging my workout clothes so I have to stop by the gym otherwise why did I carry them. If my energy is low from a shitty day at work I use assault for my preworkout and shit wakes me up like no other.

And then once I started, it became habit forming. Now I'll go on my days off too. Have used this line way too often tbh "I'd love to go out/bang you/date you/etc but the way my gym schedule is set up...."

With a bodyweight routine I don't think I could get motivated to workout to be honest.

Thinking about the gains I make at the gym lifting heavy ass weights is what fires me up.

Honestly, I use supps and drugs. If you want, I'd recommend a basic stack of ALCAR/PLCAR + caffeine + l theanine + creatine. The creatine is not time dependent, but take the other 3 together pre-workout.

Best advice I read here recently is motivation is bullshit and fleeting. One day you have it one day you don't. Focus on dedication and routine. Make it a habit. Are you motivated to brush your teeth? No, but you still do it everyday, hopefully. Because it's part of your routine and you don't think about it anymore.

No motivation, just build the habit. Go straight from work or school or whatever and don't even think about it, once you're there just get it done and go do whatever you need to do after.
