I’ve run into the same problem lately and no matter what I did nothing worked. It’s frustrating I know. Maybe we can fall back on a reliable method from the past so about you try fitness dick in your mouth
i just think abt pushing myself. if i can push myself to a level i couldnt earlier, it is amazing
Don't rest between sets.
try doing as many exercises as possible to failure no matter how crowded the gym is in fact youll make a lot of potential fiends this way
I don't do things that is just repetetive shit for a long time. I'd rather go cycling then do exercises with my legs. While riding, i occasionally stop and exercise at places like pic rel.
This way i don't do the same thing for a long time. And a change of scenery helps.
Plus its all free. (apart from the bicycle)

Normie machines
Even a little kid can do it.
i love how IST is nowadays full with unapologetic DYELs like you
stop being a fatty/dyel and actually make progress. i’ve never met a single person who doesnt fall in love with fitness after actually making progress. on the contrary, every person i’ve met that doesnt enjoy working out is the typical face stuffing fatty or 80lb anorexic chudcel
>”waaah fitness is hard”
idk how moronic someone has to be to believe that lifting and rooning is easy when youve never even walked more than a mile in your life or lifted anything heavier than a 24 pack of mountain dew cans
by looking in the mirror and seeing how good I look
Do Calisthenics and practice tricks. Watching yourself progress and pull things off makes you really enjoy the process. And you basically farm mires once you get good
You're asking the wrong question, a bit like a fatty who asks "how can I restrict calories while still eating the same variety and quantity of yummy treats that I'm accustomed to, tee hee"
The bitter pill is that exercise will often make you feel uncomfortable, sore, sweaty and out of breath. If you can find ways to enjoy it despite of that (and as time goes on, BECAUSE of that) - great. But you're not going to find excitement, enjoyment and entertainment from every workout. That doesn't mean you're doing it wrong, or excuse you from doing it. If you're serious, you'll do it anyway, just the same as you'll get out of bed even on days you don't feel completely rested, and you'll suck down that shitty tasting protein shake even if you're not hungry. Discipline comes first, always.
For what it's worth though I listen to music or podcasts, or just take the opportunity to be alone with my thoughts. Sometimes if I'm in no hurry I bring a book with me (home gym) or shitpost here between sets. I find the process itself cathartic and I benefit from the effort I put in, so I don't need to be entertained or anaesthetised every last minute of the session.
At first it won't be, but after awhile you get to enjoy it and look forward to your workouts. Just look after your general health mainly and you should come to like it.
Don't come to these forums.
I once found fun lifting in a country gym where 2-3 people was a crowd. I don't know if I will ever be able to bang and clang weights around like that ever again.
Have a goal (you) actually care about. Train in a way that (you) enjoy.
This is bad advice, but I simply prioritize the lifts I like and don't do lifts I don't like. I try to OHP at least 2-3 times a week since it's my favorite lift. On the other hand, I squat maybe once every other week since I despise squats. If I were to force myself to do the lifts I hate on a regular basis I'd probably have quit lifting by now.
I am the exact opposite. I dread ohp and love squats. But not back squats.
I want to beat you to death
Disliking squats is blasphemy. You're no true gymbro
Bass'd
Don't like em, simple as. It's such a chore.
Never put your foot in a gym ever again
Lmao homosexual
You have weak legs
I squat 4 pl8 for reps dipshit, I just don't need to do that anymore. Unlike you, weak legs.
Sure you do chicken legs
>haha! i just LOVE doing squats! I'm the opposite of those typical gym bros. I LOVE working out my legs! Never skip leg day, amiright guys!?
>Edit: Thx for the gold kind stranger!
cringe homosexual post
Why does reddit love squats so much? Seriously asking. Obviously squatting is important but reddit has practically turned it into a cult. Every fitness board on that site feels like a bunch of dudes who read starting strength in 2012 and never developed past that.
I don't get it either. All I want to do is ohp and chest press
It's because people used to not do squats or powerlift wherein squats are a staple exercise. There used to be a general/popular sentiment that leg day/squats were dreaded, and so naturally an opposite attitude came about to oppose this view that became predominant. People that say they enjoy leg day/squats or are overenthusiastic about them are essentially trying to convey that they are strong or tough in some sense. Sort of like this homosexual
Naturally, redditors, eager to be validated, join the club to subconsciously reinforce their ego. Squats are good, but anyone who's overenthusiastic about them, or call others weak for not sharing in their enthusiasm, are really just trying to say they're strong and valuable.
Good post
Why does this board love ohp so much. Post rear delts
I don't know, it just feels good. Like it stretches out something that gets really tense throughout the day
Anon you never lifted some heavy shit above your head threw it when you were like 11 or 12? It's just natural masculine instinct
Train as hard as possible
As your body gets exhausted you'll be just too tired to think about suicide

You don’t
Fitness dick in your mouth
You need a woman with a big ass to have fun at the gym.
Today I saw a couple at the gym, his gf had nice fit body and they were having fun and kissing.
>Today I saw a couple at the gym, his gf had nice fit body and they were having fun and kissing
God I wish that was me
Would plap
Same. She was a skinny petite zoomer though. I am taller, bigger, leaner and have a better face than him btw. He's got better hair and probably has social skills though.
BJJ and then I branched out into muay thai, MMA, and judo.
>Oh, when someone comes up to you in the streets and-
I don't give a frick. The belt system was/is like ninja ranks in Naruto (I'm 30 years old). I started to like the theory of fighting as a whole. Open stance vs closed stance and stance switching. Izzy beat Alex with superior striking but lost to Sean who only knew 1-2 and a hook. Stances for wrestling vs muay thai vs judo vs MMA vs BJJ. What are your long range vs mid range vs close range weapons? Takedowns in open space vs wall work. When does judo work vs wrestling? Leg lock systems vs traditional control ladder on the ground. ADCC style techniques vs old school techniques vs whatever Keenan Cornelius is up to.
And that's even before the interweaving lore of how these systems came to be.
>homegym
>dumbells and kettlebells
>more of a kettlebell type that has armorbuilding complex as mainexercise because simplicity and feels fricking great
>also have resistance bands
>when tired i switch
>listen to music
Steroids with gym bros
train 1-3x a week and progressive overload on key lifts. track your progress and focus on improving. have diet goals that make a difference in your body composition and see physique changing.
u look in the mirror and see ur ugly self. u fricking npc
If you dont like it dont do it what the frick lol
I only lift because it's fun
Realize pain only exists to make you save yourself from dying
Most of the pain you are actually feeling is anticipation of pain
If you are not going to die you don't have to fear pain
In fact, there is no reason to feel it
So stop feeling pain
I'm very racist
What do you mean? It is fun.
make your gf suck you're dick between sets
I just enjoy lifting. I unironically get a mind bones when I get an arm pump because the Curls feel so good.
fitness is fun
just as you make brushing your teeth. you dont you just do it
you can have fun if you bring friend with you, at least less boring. and biking can be good on its own. i have no other suggestions ngl
I hated going to the gym for the first month now I cant imagine life without it because I actually get to feel something there.
You don't feel accomplishment with every set? NGMI.
Start playing a sport that can actually keep you fit (not shit like golf where physicality isnt as important). I’ve been wrestling since high school and lifting only to help make me a better wrestler. I honestly hate lifting but its worth it because of how much i enjoy wrestling/combat sports.
If moving isn't fun for you,
I got news for u anon (and it's not good)
I invented a 60IQ phrase that I say whenever I don’t want to workout
>I like what I don’t like
Don’t like going to the gym? Well since you like what you don’t like now you like going to the gym. Checkmate brainlets
