Ok so fro the past few months (since end of august)
I've been using the smallest things as an excuse to not work out... i also have been clean since
March and i dont seem to be motivated to go to the GYM
i tried to set up a cycle to start in Sept but work and family got in the way and i decided to hold on
Now im planning on starting a Cycle in January this way i will pretty much will be forced to work out no matter what
Am i alone here?
it might be the holidays after all ... it is the season to be Shloppy
:P

Time to MAN UP!
The POWER to succeed and overcome comes from within YOU...
Never use AAS as a crutch, you will fail.

dude, challenge yourself. if you can maintain the amount you lifted (of close to it while on) you are doing good and not stepping backwards.
use the "off" time to maintain as much as you can before going "on" again.
-
ive sufferd similar experiences,,, best way to get over it is to try somthign new for a few weeks, high volume if your a HIT bloke, HIT if your a volumer, or even a change of gym... just get back to enjoying bein in the gym
for me it was great goin back to doin daft things like 30 sets for biceps, compared to my usual 3
-
Dont be S.A.D = Seasonal Affective Dissorder....lots of people get a bit less motivated this time of year. :'(
Like Overload said, time to man up and push thru. I know for me, I recently switched up my training because I wanted something fresh to motivate me again. Not training to total failure and a few new principles (rest pause, drops, etc).
Sometimes a change of gyms for fresher scenery is a good boost as well.

Amen. IMO - gear is ment to be used as a tool.
DON'T BE A CYCLE WARRIOR!
-
no gear + no motivation = mental addiction
you got 3 choices:
1) take gear year round
2) get your head out of the juice and back in the game
3) find something else to do....like fishing
(hint) go with #2 ;)
-
not good tnt boom, sounds like you need to find your love for training again. i know it isnt as good natural, because you know you arent making the same progress, but this is something you need to love.

My advice, sit down and ask yourself why you train in the first place. If you don't have a good answer, then maybe it's time to reevaluate.
At this point, lay out some goals for yourself...give yourself a reason to train...something that will motivate you to continue training, gear or no gear.
If you assess your situation and come up with goals like "I want to look good" or "I want to get girls" these are probably not the kind of goals that are going to make you stick to it long term.
Nothing wrong with wanting to look good...anyone who trains regularly has this in their mind...but their has to be more IMO. If this was reason enough to train, we wouldn't have so many out of shape people walking the streets.
If your reason for training is simply to impress the opposite sex, again, not the best approach. Guys who train who make this aspect their top priority almost always flake out in the long run. Again, nothing wrong with wanting to look good, nothing wrong with wanting to look good so you have more appeal...but there has to be something there, some set purpose for yourself, no one else...if you're going to stick to this.
Last off, if you want motivation, you're going to have to find this yourself...no one can motivate someone else. Sure, certain people can aid in motivating you, I've got people in my life that are motivating factors for certain things and certain aspects in my own life...but these things are just motivational factors....they are not the core of what makes up my motivation to train.

WATCH ROCKY IV

AJ HAS some great points....
Watch Ronie or Dorians training vids or others you like.
-
switch up your training/split.
i train every 2 days now instead of daily.
pumps are better than ever

Another excellent post partner.

i'm also feelin slack today.... :( supposed to be chest day....3 sets for 5 exercises..
so what i'm gonna do is pick myself up, go to the gym and slam 5 sets of 5 exercises
just so that the "pussy factor" is wiped out ;)
best way to counter the slack is work it off!
-
Training hard, eating right even while off is what separates the men from the boys, the hardcore from the posers.
-
i've never used gear, probably won't until I'm old and HRT is an issue.
But without caffeine, I find it hard to lift. I can only imagine after using gear, how much it would suck without it.

Agreed.

Good pct works for me. My libido is exactly the same after/during a cycle, and i'm allways motivated. Also make sure to follow the "time on = time off" rule
If you are getting physically addicted to a.s. it's time to stop using it. You dont want to become a junkie.

I'm not implying that you don't know what's going on by any means...not at all. But I don't care who you are or how great your PCT is, you should notice a significant change after the cycle.
Physically addicted....not possible...mentally, to an extent, sure.
"Time on = Time off Rule" Not a rule, a suggestion by many...a good suggestion for a lot of people to follow...not all though.

Yupper.... A look at that chart of how long TE takes to clear is a good little wake up call to alots of dudes...
They have been on years long and think they are "Cycling". Not so, they's never been off.
Fine if they know that.... Many are clueless.

Or you do legs so hard that stepping on the clutch is a workout. Forget the brakes, that takes too much effort!! ;)

That might help...a complete Under Armour out fit or dressing up as 80's guy BB seems to be a better call IMO.

Whip out those baggy pants with lightning bolts on them tucked in the puffy socks that are bunched up at the top of your Otomix boots!
Add a fresh rag top midriff and make sure the mullett is tight...voila!
Not that I have any experience with that kind of outfit ::)

haha, yep, he works out at my gym too. Standard out fit...red shorty shorts, with tube socks pulled up to his knees...of course he's wearing giant oversized white high tops...string tank top with insane gyno flopping out the sides...and everything is done in a slow motion yet glamorous way.
He is Captain gyno 80's man...a true warrior for the cause!

All I see is people ignoring my TapOut shirt suggestion.
Believe you me, it works ;)

I prefer going to the gym dressed in that outfit you're wearing in your avatar...now that's hardcore gym apparel, lol!
Of course, sometimes I just go in a pair of tighty whities, but this makes training difficult due to all the glares from jealous haters and adoring fans grasping at my man hood.

Yeah, and media channels like cnn have no info to back up their claims. Problem is that people DO listen to them without hesitation.

Yeah, but TNT got his mojo back he said so we are just having a bit of fun.
AJ, you nailed it so I think Captain Gyno can fly because he is at my gym too! Good to know he is protecting all of us...My guy goes the extra step and has a shaved head for extra toughness.
As for Tapout, I met those guys at a MMA cage fighting event here long time ago when they were first starting out. They were funny as shit, all dressed up in goofy outfits being loud but it worked, they had a shitload of people at their booth and sold almost everything. Since then, I have been scared and itimidated by you Tapout guys...going to cry myself to sleep now. :'(

Not unless you post a pic of you in your superhuman '80s gym gear...but that would reveal your idenity to the world!
Shaved head just makes you more tough...ggggrrrr >:(
Shaved heads = Tapout shirts.

shaved head = receeding hair line.....

exactly....
shaved head = not the pathetic guy hanging on to the wisps of hair and rubbing rogaine on it every night .....
you can cut it short, comb it over, bleach it, rub rogaine on it, use special shampoo, take proscar.....whatever you want...
but if its going......let it go and shave it off. dont be that guy in denial

You don't want the ring around?? My good friend had that going on when I first moved out here. Took a while but finally got him to shave it off and let it go.
Dude was also a gorilla, literally, looked he poked his head out of a body hair sweater!! He used to make fun of me for shaving my bodyhair. Then I got the call one day asking how to go about it. Poor guy almost went and used Nair but luckily got him to buy clippers for the first huge layer, then Venus the rest. Now his brother does it too and in Az, that much bodyhair is not a good thing.

Heavy body hair gots to go if you work in the heat IMO.
Them rip-stop millitary material jeans and bare under that is Great if job will allow.
That shit breathes like no other material I know of.
