Motivation Help :)
 
Hey guys, I'm just wondering what kind of things motivate you when you're feeling kinda blue and not excited about the gym. :lame: I know.

I used to be raging for the gym, but the past month or so it's become more of a chore than a passion. I mean, I have an impressive physique (for now) and I've made great progress, but I just haven't been feeling it lately. :wtf:

Any advice or tips?

Thanks in advance.

For me personally it's always that drive to increase the weight I lift. I love putting up new PR weights and it keeps me coming back time after time.

Music gets me going for sure. I work out so much better with music.

my motivation is athletic talent. i know that my weight lifting will help me become a better athlete, that's why i do it. the healthy diet is the hardest part since, well, healthy food doesn't taste as good as shitty food haha.

Sometimes I'll wait until the next day if I really just don't feel like training at all. But sometimes I just grind through a workout regardless of how I feel. Either way it is consistency over the long term that really matters.

Having workout partners really helps motivation. It's easy to make excuses when you're on your own but when someone is expecting/counting on you to be there it helps a lot. Also, it gives a bit of a competitive atmosphere which can be motivating as well.

Motivation is something you have to find within yourself. You need to find out what ultimately drives you to keep making progress in the gym. I need to remind myself time and time again and sometimes I will watch self improvement or workout videos until I reignite the flame. Sounds crazy but it works. Hope this helps

Killing in the Name or Know Your Enemy by RATM

Oh and lose yourself by eminem (sorry can't edit posts)

that means you have no goals.

Put or make some short term and long term goal.

Watch some motivational video on you tube.

Search bodybuilding motivations and powerlifting motivations - to motivate

I think you hit your plateu.

You should change your program, or take a week off before yu go back to gym.

While your off review your previous workout and think or make a a short and long term plan of what you will want to achieve when you workout.

Music
 
Music is the best form of motivation, at least for me it is
