I was a football and wrestler in high school, and I recently graduated this past year. All throughout high school I was always fit, and was very pleased with my body. After graduation I kinda lost all my motivation after not being in sports any longer. I have a gym membership, but it just seems...

hey guys, i'm here posting due to extreme lack of motivation; and was wondering if you guys could help me out with an issue. the issue being: lack of enjoyment in the gym as opposed to before. it seems as if everything i do is just one motion after another (leading to weaker lifts and a...

I think a large problem with higher level fitness professionals and gym members is often times they forget their "humble" beginnings. A mildly in shape gym patron comes up to comment on a new member I was previously talking with. "I can tell that guy plays video games by how bad his posture...

See, there is a reason why we train so hard, there's a reason why we should never lose motivation, there's a reason why we shouldn't give up so easily, when we should continue on the path we follow, even when there is a shorter and less challenging path ahead, there is a reason why we need to stay...

A few months ago, I herniated one of my lumbar discs and bulged another lumbar disc (I'm 16). After I got an MRI, it was discovered that I also have arthritis in my lumbar or pelvis area (I forget).
