Forum: Motivation

Ok so after the last lockdown (lasting 5 months) I did some home workouts which sucked major ass, I am now back to a decent level of strength (stronger than I was before) and now we're locking down again for 1 month. I just need to hear about potential muscle loss during this month when all I...

Ever since COVID-19 shut down the gyms in my area, I've gotten out of shape and started to eat more unhealthy foods. My max for squat was 275, bench 215, deadlift 320, and my age is 18. I'm now trying to get back into the gym but I'm struggling and don't know where I should start. I feel like all...

How are you doing guys?

So I don't have any problem going to the gym (average 4 times a week), but sometimes find that once I'm there I have very little energy or motivation to lift hard and really push myself and feel like I've made hardly any progress (I'm naturally very skinny but been lifting consistently now for over...

i know that some of you will criticize and say this post is filled with egotism, but thats not the main reason I want to post this. I am a drug addict. I have spent multiple years in prison, been in a long and toxic relationship, and at one point I was 120lbs and absolutely hated my life. I was a...

Hi folks. I’m training 3 times a week with my trainer and loving it. Lifting weights helps fight depression and it’s the best thing that’s happened to me. I’m looking for some sort of competition or transformation challenge that I want to enter though. I’m a tub right now but I’ve cleaned up my...

Hey guys! ever since the pandemic we all know that gym and other fitness centres have been closed and have yet to be opened in my place. I was an enthusiast in both dieting as well as working out and was going in a good path ever since the lock down. Now when i want to go back to the my fitness...

My mother and grandmother both died, and I haven’t been able to bring myself to train at all the last few days... not even simple low intensity quick sessions. How can I bring myself to train? I don’t want to lose gains I worked years for. Thanks.

For the past year I have probably missed 6 months of training, because of moving abroad and the pandemic. I have stagnated, I am very motivated to start again once my quarantine ends in 2 weeks. All of my lifts have stagnated, but there seems to be a bigger underlying problem. I have always enjoyed...

Hello all I am going to have foot surgery on my right foot this Monday April 22, 2013. It is to repair a "flat/ broken" arch. I will not be able to put weight on the foot for six (6) weeks. Needless to say, it has "shot" my motivation. I understand the need for the surgery. My foot is...

I am in a serious long rut. I was not always fat but now am at like 315 at 6’4”. I can get briefly inspired by seeing what others have accomplished. I have been this way for a while now and forgot what it is like to go after a goal. I think part of me really doubts that I can get in shape. I...
