Days you're not so motivated

[The Italian Lifter]

honestly I've kept at it for many decades (59 YO now) , just because I feel better for doing it.  Doesn't take discipline, it's pleasure.  No I don't bust my balls but so what.

I still do 90% of the time but last day of split is a nightmare

[OneMoreRep]

let's be honest, especially if you're a natty and not in your 20's, sometimes pack yr shit and head to the gym it's not easy.

I'm pretty consistent but we all have those days.
So what you do to get extra motivation?
I use music a lot, and lately also ignore the planned workout and do my favorite body part or exercises.

Give me some ideas just in case 

I know you asked this question in the setting of being a natural, but would you consider getting on HRT?

With HRT, you would feel much better every day. More strength, better stamina, drive and improved recovery during workouts, not to mention quicker gains.

At least you'll be able to walk and raise your arms above your head when you're 90.

yeah I don't know about the raising arms, I *used to* bust my balls..

yeah I don't know about the raising arms, I *used to* bust my balls..

I'm having some issues with that now... clicking, cracking, sticking, pain.  I'm only 52.  What about 20-30 years from now?... yikes.  35 years training, 25 of those was hardcore.  After I hit 50 everything started hurting and falling apart.   When I look back now, I regret going balls to the wall every time and not taking more days off.  Oh well, I had some fine glory days.  Better to be a "has-been" than a "wanna-be".

it's (not so) funny but yeah, once you hit 50 things do start to creak and groan..
