Need advice for motivation. (Srs)

[BigG0rilla]

Long story short:

Used to workout at least 5 times a week and hit my macros etc.
From august on until now, I have worked out minimum, because of medical school(no excuse I know..).

Diet has been ****ty and we have been drinking at least 2 times a week for 4 months straight now, even more. Still I havent put on that much fat because we rather drink than eating lol...

Anyways, Today I started my proper diet, hitting my macros/calories etc. First goal is to continue my small cut, and hit about 10-11%, since last bulk which ended in May this year.



Any suggestions on how to get motivated again, both in terms of lifting and stop drinking alcohol?


I have the opportunity to workout 3 times a week maybe 4 depends on how intense the school period is.
Is this a good routine?

1 - Chest/biceps/abs
2 - Back/triceps/abs
3 - Leg/shoulders/abs

Eating 1500-1800 calories a day.

Something that really helps me is watching people like Maxx Chewning, Christian Guzman, and other YouTubers on youtube, it encourages me push myself even further, although I don't normally feel discouraged about going to the gym, it helps me look forward to achieving greater goals. Another thing is understanding that lifting is something that takes dedication and results won't come in two days, it takes time and the discipline to stay committed. For your routine, don't due Chest and Biceps it does not make sense to do Biceps when while your doing Chest you are working out your triceps. Do Chest/Triceps and do Back/Biceps (As you workout your biceps while doing back), you can do Shoulders/Abs for one day, as I recommend devoting one day to Legs if you are serious about your leg gains. If you don't go very hard on legs, then you can do them with shoulders if you'd like, although you won't see as drastic strength/muscle gains in your legs. This can all be done in 4 days, if you make time for it and are devoted. If you want some visual references on lifting, and motivation to stay dedicated check out my YouTube channel I post 3-4 videos a week and hopefully I can motivate you to stay dedicated. Best of luck to you bro!

EAT EAT EAT. And lift. Honestly some days I dont even feel like going but you just gotta drag yourself to the gym on those days and just start. IMO I think its better to lift for an hour than to not lift at all. I always look at how skinny I was and where I am now, then I look at where I want to be.

I will! I made my self plan. I will cut out alcohol completely because I am a heavy drinker and I add up atleast 2000 calories on just alcohol twice a week + the night kebabs.

I will bookmark this post and post a picture 1st of january(hopefully a couple pounds lost already because I have already started my diet. Then I will keep posting pictures here until March. Once a month.

Thanks for support guys. I love this site!

The motivation's gotta come from within or else you'll never make it.

What he said. You gotta do it for a personal reason or youll quit again. Most people go to the gym to look sexy for the girls but if you dont do it for yourself youll never be the best you can be.

Hello again guys! As promised, here is a 5 week before/after.

Before: 1/1-2015 ---> 185lbs

After: 10/2-2015 ---> 176lbs


Slow but steady progress. Progress stopped from 4/2 untill now due to 6 exams in a row. I still managed to pull 3 workouts a week, but diet has been poor in proteins for 1 week, but still kept calories at maintaince with average 100g proteins/day. #MedSchoolStealsMyGains

let me know what you think! Too slow?

i get motivated because i want to be strong in the end. try visualise your end goals now and work backwards in a sense. also keep learning on off days.

dont "stop" drinking if you enjoy it;alter the frequency. just look at how much damage twice a week does to your daily eating macros and money - if you care about ur life and ur not a rich mofo ull stop soon, when you face the consequences. go out once a fortnight or start with once a week and let it ebb naturally. and ffs dont give in to ur dum friends telling u to drink all the time and stuff
