This is strange... there are times I just REALLY don't feel like going, but I will still  force myself to the gym and I'll tell myself, I'll go just to fuck around with weights and not take anything seriously...  once there and I start moving the weight, my motivation gets to me, and I want to push harder and heavier!  Just happens almost by itself when I get there!  Some good music doesn't hurt either!

Get a cup of coffee pop 2 caffine pills, get in my car, blast some of my favorite music, get to the gym, do a set or two and if im not feeling it then i go home, i would rather make it to they gym and go right back home, then not make it at all and start a bad routine of getting lazy and missing workouts for whatever reason comes up

Shit, you can always go and do traps and calves and abs...which are pretty much the easiest bodyparts to train.

meaning sick? or just lazy? because if I'm sick I stand clear of the gym because it's only gonna make things worse , if I'm lazy I go because it's exactly the time you should go , when you want to the least .  I'm in and out in less than an hour so it's not that big of deal even if you don't go balls out

Pick two exercises.  You get the benefit of weight training and you're out in 15 minutes.

Blast this very loud..... if it doesnt get your motor revving nothing will, most importantly listen to the lyrics

am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!

When it comes crashing down, and it hurts inside,
ya' gotta take a stand, it don't help to hide,

Well, you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride,
I gotta be a man; I can't let it slide,
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!

I feel strong about right and wrong,
And I don't take trouble for very long,
I got something deep inside of me, and courage is the thing that keeps us free,

I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!

Well you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride,
I gotta be a man; I can't let it slide,
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!

My training partner who is also my colleague, can't just not show up because I don't feel like it. Good spotters and training partners are hard to come by and you can't risk losing them

Maybe you feel like shit on those days because somehow , deep inside you, you know that you should be doing something different, more fulfiling, like reading, meditating, taking care of someone else, instead of blindly focusing on your muscular mass, on your desire to ''dominate'' others, solely, and every day that passes. You ceases to exist when you only focus on yourself for too long. You re not part of the big thing anymore.

maybe your feeling of boredom actually has a purpose but you just dont see it cause you re emotionnaly, spiritually, not mature enough. We have a body, And a mind, both require balanced care.

Fact is the more you keep forcing yourself to do it, the less you enjoy it.

Also we are designed to get addicted. Everything is addiction. There are just good, pro life, and bad, anti life, addictions. Working, taking care of ourselves and others, eating, drinking, everything is addiction. And everything is conditionning. The more you re exposed to a conditionning, the more you re conditionned. The less you re exposed to a conditionning... and so on. At some point in life you re supposed to pick the conditionnings that suit you -your survival-.

Physical activity is an addiction, it produces chemicals of hapiness in the brain, but as for all addictions, at some points, you need more and more of it to get satisfied. Problem is, when you abuse physical conditionning because you re addicted to its effect on your body and mind, you get burned and are at risk of hurting your body -and mind.

At this point, it s to find something else to fulfill your feeling of well being, which requires more than just lifting weights.


Lot of huge guys...with an empty, bored, angry face... they re big...yeah, and they keep getting bigger...they keep...injecting. Yet are as miserable as when they were ''small''. Looks like they re missing something. Looks like there are things they should do that would make them truly happier, like 9 times out of ten, getting a better education, job etc,taking a bigger care for others instead of only focusing on themselves. Is it anywonder most people who are deeply addicted to physical conditionnings are often sons and daughters of separated parents? All destructive addictive behaviors come from the divorce between the caregivers. Balanced people, balanced minds, are produced by parents who stay together and face life together. Which conditions kids to face life with hope , without falling for the extremes.



These meatheads, would be a lot more satisfied by working on their mind instead of hammering constantly their bodies. But..they re lazy. It s easier to just lift weights and get bigger, easier than facing the other aspects of life that should truly be changed. They force themselves over time to be satisfied by their physique, because that s all they can do and the older they get, the less energy they find to do something else. They solely focus on impressing naive people with a low self esteem, solely focus on aggresively threaten others with the only thing they have. With the same tricks, over and over, they end alone in their 50s and all they can do is flex their biceps again and again until they cant anymore, the siliness of the whole thing has become to staggering, even to them. Let s hope that at this point in their existence at least they have a woman with them who will still have some pity for their sad character. They end exactly like their hero, their role model, arnold s. , hulk h, brock l...And it s only at this point they understand. But for them, it's too late.

They re too used to abandon the use of their brain , they re becoming walking cliches and feel worse and worse everyday that passes. They re not doing what they should be doing to get better. One day one of their internal organ fails, they have to stop steroids, and they become human like others again, small, and all they are left with, is their mind, their past they didnt solve, their fear of death, their fear of suffering that stems from traumas that occured in their childhood. No more artificial enhancement, no more chemical feeling of well being. The body, neurotransmitters, crash. They need ..new drugs , anti depressants,sleeping pills,cause they have no soul, no faith, they never worked on their spirituality, they cant heal their mind, thoughts by themselves...they re not used to do so, they only relied on their physique all life long with others. Now they re left with nothing but  a shity selfish personnality.

Again with the stereotyping! Why do you even post on Getbig, a forum for and about bodybuilding, if you feel this way? Are you trying to "save" folks from the evils of bodybuilding?

yeah you got that right , I did best when my brother was lifting with me but different schedules and we haven't lifted together in years , you develop an unspoken knowledge of when you need assistance,when you don't , when you can push more and when you can't , some one to motivate you.
