Do you look forward to gym or is it a chore?

**Woody72** · 07-25-2006, 03:12 PM

Lately heading down to the gym has been a big effort, its like a chore. But once im there i enjoy it, i just think its the actual trip there that puts me off, its just a depressing trip although it doesn't really take long at all.

How are you when it comes to going to the gym? Love it? Hate it? Can't wait till its over?

**TheStuddMuffin** · 07-25-2006, 03:13 PM

The gym is my time away from everything. Just me and the weights.

I love it.

**Wanguin** · 07-25-2006, 03:14 PM

I am extremely fond of weight training. Its something that I've always loved. Cardio is what bugs me.

**JustiNtense** · 07-25-2006, 03:14 PM

When i wake up i think OMG i have to go to the gym damnit... but when i get there i feel good and confident, and sometimes even have fun!

**Woody72** · 07-25-2006, 03:17 PM

Man.. wish i felt like some of you guys. But like i said once im there im fine about it, just the build up towards it! I need to stop whining and just shut up and do it.

**justinbrown** · 07-25-2006, 03:18 PM

i cant NOT go to the gym...i look forward to it every day...i hate my rest day haha

**cupra16** · 07-25-2006, 03:21 PM

well woody my mann you just need to STFU AND DO IT otherwise your gonna be a skinny bastard all your life and you dont want that now do you

"The greatest feeling you can get in a gym, or the most satisfying feeling you can get in the gym is... The Pump. Let's say you train your biceps. Blood is rushing into your muscles and that's what we call The Pump. You muscles get a really tight feeling, like your skin is going to explode any minute, and it's really tight - it's like somebody blowing air into it, into your muscle. It just blows up, and it feels really different. It feels fantastic. It's as satisfying to me as, uh, coming is, you know? As, ah, having sex with a woman and coming. And so can you believe how much I am in heaven? I am like, uh, getting the feeling of coming in a gym, I'm getting the feeling of coming at home, I'm getting the feeling of coming backstage when I pump up, when I pose in front of 5,000 people, I get the same feeling, so I am coming day and night. I mean, it's terrific. Right? So you know, I am in heaven."

-Arnold

That about sums it up for me.

**pheny** · 07-25-2006, 03:33 PM

I'm like you guys haha, I'm stubborn and tired when I wake up, don't wanna go, etc. But as soon as I'm there it's euphoric

.

Also, nice quote from Arnold!

**WCC** · 07-25-2006, 03:43 PM

i look forward to it.
except if it's leg day. leg workouts are a real chore. i absolutely hate squats. i do them, and i do them with great form and to failure, but i still hate them. i never will like them.
although strangely enough, i love deadlifts. they're one of my favourites.

**Replica** · 07-25-2006, 03:45 PM

Yeah, I hate squats too and deadlifts are fun. But I love going to the gym on anyday. I just think it's an annoying choir cooking, I'm so lazy for it.

**Woody72** · 07-25-2006, 03:50 PM

I'm like the opposite of most people, i can handle the diet fine usually, its just getting myself to the gym thats the hard part..

**vunguyen12** · 07-25-2006, 03:55 PM

I would love going to the gym more than anything, but there's not one close to me. I'm stuck with my crappy home weight set.

Before the gym i had just a few weights and a couple of dumbbells and a barbell in some small crappy room with hardly enough room. Now that was hard..

**bassguy53** · 07-25-2006, 04:02 PM

i love training chest, shoulders, and arms but i absolutley hate squats, and deadlifts definatly arent my favorites either

**BigStew** · 07-25-2006, 04:03 PM

I look forward to my workouts.

**m3ds** · 07-25-2006, 04:04 PM

How can you guys hate squats? I love them! I used to hate them but once you break your legs in it's an awesome feelings. The "beat to ****" feeling you get when you work a muscle really well seems to fade for other muscles but stays for legs... legs is the only muscle anymore that can make me throw up, I love it

deadlifts are nice. i don't do them for legs though; i do them for lower back.

squats and leg presses are just horrible.

**n00bi3** · 07-25-2006, 04:14 PM

ever since i started a 3-day split i always look forward to going to the gym. sometimes, when i was ona 5day split, i kinda didnt look forward to leg days tho

**n00bi3** · 07-25-2006, 04:14 PM

double post woops

**duece49** · 07-25-2006, 04:32 PM

Once you see your body changing you shouldn't need motivation to get in the gym, but ya I'm not a morning person so I go to the gym around 1-5 in the afternoon.

**Anticrombie315** · 07-25-2006, 04:36 PM

I've always been a morning person, so I wake up psyched to go. I get there, I enjoy it, and I leave happy. Off days don't bother me, but I would much rather be in the gym. Food is what I hate. Eating 6 meals a day is a hassle for me. But i get it done. I am like some of the people on here, I hate squats but I love deads. All in all, I love going to the gym.

I'm much like you normally. I hate being home though because my family drives me insane, so the gym is like my second home. I know most people there and we're all cool and just do our thing. It's really friendly, I think. Everyone is willing to help, and those more knowledgeable are even more willing. It's a much different atmosphere from my school's weight room in which nobody knows what they're doing and just take tips from the big guys, regardless if they have no clue what they're talking about. Everyone just wants to lift the biggest weight, but my favorite is when someone tells me what to do.

It goes a little like this:
"You should really do this: (wrong information because high school losers are too cool to research)."
"Alright how about you do it your way, and I'll do it correctly."

Haha. Oh man.

**endowedmidget** · 07-25-2006, 04:50 PM

I love to go after work because work blows and I just let it all out at the gym. On the days I don't go to work, I sometimes feel like meh but once i'm down feel better about myself. Anything I do to make me healther makes me feel better no matter what.

**K_muscle** · 07-25-2006, 04:51 PM

For me the gym is simply a means to an end, just like eating, supplementation, and sleeping. What I enjoy is knowing I am in shape, feeling healthy, and seeing results as my lifts go up and I get bigger in the mirror.

I hate it because i dont grow, and i spend so much time money and effort on such an activity that just doesnt yield results.. Eating is also a hassle... because i can eat all day and only be .1lb heavier the next day. I dont see the motivation in it, but i do it simply because i cant live with myself if i dont TRY. For me its 100% a chore.

Pretty much why I go to the gym also...and because I know I'll grow.

WOW your looknig to add weight the very next day? reall...you're stupid. I'm sorry, maybe you're joking...I hope so. Eat all you want without lifting weights and you'll gain weight but not the good kind. Even then you won't see it the very next day.

**BigStew** · 07-25-2006, 05:21 PM

some days it is tuff to drag myself to the gym but once I am there and start to get the pump it is all business
