Don't know if i'm allowed to swear in titles so i'll cover both angles.

So at Uni' i'm doing 1 day cardio, 1 day weights, 1 day off, or even 1 day light weights. I was knackered and it hurt. I didn't care, in fact, I used to wake up and if I wasn't aching i'd actually be annoyed because I could have pushed myself harder. Recently though i'm just like "**** it". I would say i've had 2 good sessions in the last 2 weeks, a few half assed ones and a few nothing days. I mean 2 days ago I even gave up after about 40 military presses, at the starter stage of a work out - granted my pecs and biceps hurt from the night before, but still. I don't know if it's fatigue or pure laziness. So how do you lot keep yourselves on track?

I used to have a gym buddy, with intentions that we'd motivate each other, but that got ******. He wouldn't want to go to the gym so i'd delay it for him then we wouldn't have gone for like 4 days! Also it's a killer to your stamina when you're with a friend and you're in pain on, say, a rowing machine and then they just stop, it just goes through your mind "ok, I can too".

Listen right, any of you even so much as think of putting "stop complaining you *****" or likewise, keep your finger off the submit button. I already hate you.

get a music track, train with music and train without it u will notice the huge difference, dont only listen to it while training listen to it everytime and it will remind u that u have to work harder
if ur laying on your bed doing nothing and u listen to ur music it will remind u of boxing or whatever sport u play and u will start thinking about it and take care of your food or get ready for ur next training session
also im assuming ur eating right cuz thats the most important thing
anyway that worked for me for a while just my two cents

[JayCoe]

Yeah I train with music, it does work. Motivation isn't an reoccuring problem, it's just recently, since I got from Uni' it's like I sometimes have a 9-5 job and you get home, lay back for abit, have dinner, lay back for abit, before you know it, it's time to go to bed. Also at Uni' 'cus i'm in my own room I don't care about doing a free weights session in my room at like 2am, yet when at home it's prob not best to. Guess another problem is i've got no gym around me here, at Uni' it's literally 2 mins away. God knows, all I know is I gotta just shut up and do it, once I start i'll hopefully carry on so i'll just set a regular time to do it.

Shut the **** up you little *****. You don't have the right to speak to me like that you little prick!

[JayCoe]

I'll send you a PM. You can talk tough at me there. Aint worth destroying a genuine thread with a genuine question.

I get the same thing, I set myself up the night before to go running early-mornings before school.. then I wake up at 5am and just cant force myself to get out of the house coz its raining.. I feel like a complete ***** when I wake up but I always seem to make myself an excuse when I wake up its so annoying.

As far as workouts go I havent got to the point were I start backing out yet because I actually enjoy working to the point were im completely ****'d but I know exactly what you mean and I guess you could just set a maximum workout and build up to it over a period of time then once you do a session at maximum effort start on an easy session and build up again.. If you get that, its all I can think to suggest, its hard to give an opinion but like someone before said, music can inspire you pretty well, find a track that really motivates you and see how that can spurr you on.

Cheers for the advice. Yeah I love working out to the point where i'm knackered, like I said I hated waking up and not aching. My problem isn't doing it, my problem (at the mo) is starting it, then, i'm 95% of the time, fine.

sounds tough doing weights at 2am sounds like overtraining to me
still man hang in there if u quit now u dont quit on boxing u quit on yourself

[2swell k-wells]

I'm in the same situation. I've found music that makes me WANT to start, it works in the day but in the mornings its just not enough.. haha.
