I follow a routine so simple, fast and easy going that you need minimal motivation to get it done.
My goals are health and looking good naked. I'm not interested to get as shredded and huge as possible.
So instead of 3-4 hard workouts per week I train every day, but it is a real quick workout.
I choose one exercise for push, pull and legs and do only two hard sets. So one workout is done after six sets. Next day I repeat. At the end of the week I achieved at least the same volume as with any other popular workout routine.
But most of the weeks my volume is higher. Sometimes I'm in a good mood and training is fun, so I add extra work. One set more. Or some extra work for biceps/triceps/forearms/shoulders/calves/abs.
Due to the fact that a workout session needs very little motivation and is quickly done I tend to do it. This consistency is key over the long run. Even if I miss a day, it's still not as bad as missing a day in a 3-day split routine. If you do the math for a whole year my volume is far greater than with other popular routines.
My wrists not being fricked up like they are now. Haven't been to the gym for almost a week just because the last three times, I had a pain in my left wrist from going too heavy
Apart from that, I just go. If you're asking about motivation, the frick kind of motivation do you need?
For me, it's borderline obese angle fruading women with shitty patches of tattoos and HPV and lip fillers who display open aggression towards the world and especially men or abstract concepts like the patriarchy. Makes me want to get up and really conqver the day tbh.

Every day I don't go I move one step closer to killing myself. Having been bullied to the point of hating all humans, I now use building muscle as a way to cope. I was always bullied for my small stature (now 88kg, 6ft, 15% BF) and being a weird little gaming dipshit in general. I harbored that resentment and opted to stay at home smoking weed in my 20s. No partying, no drinking. Just getting high, playing vidya and working on garage projects. I have poor social skills, I am quite awkward and always very uncomfortable around people and never know what to say. I want to build enough muscle so I can intimidate people into being my friend. I basically hang out with my girlfriend all the time and don't really have any guy friends. I'm 31 and a complete man-child. Whilst I keep a tidy house and a good job and am in shape and have a bunch of hobbies, all I want in life is to have some close bro-friends I can hang out with. I am very sad. I also find that if I don't lift, I don't have anything to work towards and I just sit around feeling listless and ruminating about how pointless everything is.
Then work on your social skills by randomly meeting new people over apps like Bumble or getting into sports where you automatically talk to people like bouldering. One thing I have noticed in past years is that all my friends who are still into gaming as 30-year olds are shit at being social. I used to love gaming but I got away from it because it is literally a waste of valuable time in your life
Also, I get the no partying and drinking aspect. That's not all there is to being social though. You can set up evenings with friends where all you do is talk, eat, and drink non-alcoholic drinks. Best thing you can do though is go outside whenever you can and travel. Travelling is the best thing you can do in general
Also, I mean this in the nicest possible way, stop paying attention to what other people are fricking saying about you. You're an adult, you shouldn't listen to what people say about your stature
I go bouldering regularly, have been for a few years. I've dated people and currently have a gf and don't really have any issues with that. It's group settings that shut me down. 1 on 1s I'm generally quite comfortable.
I completely agree with everything you said. I'm in therapy (and finally with a good therapist) and working on these things. Generally, I am somewhat positive about the future. Occasionally though it all just sort of builds up and becomes too much and I make a post like this on IST. It used to be WAY worse. Suicidal thoughts all the time. Abject misery.
I barely play videogames these days. Maybe a couple hours a week. I have made some superficial friends at bouldering but I kind of exude this "frick off" demeanor which I am struggling to control. It's my way of protecting myself, it's very ingrained and it's taking a long time to change. It probably gets a bit better each year. I find it very hard to force a smile, and I get nervous and stutter sometimes which makes me flushed. There was a time where my I'd start to shake with anxiety. Glad that doesn't happen anymore. It just feels very pathetic still having these issues at this age.
As you get older you tend to get more comfortable with yourself and more confident, or at least just accept things, but this isn’t a naturally part of aging it is the result of an accumulation of experiences. If you aren’t increasing your IRL experiences you won’t grow and mature.
Positive feedback loop, good habit and a sense of guilt and disappointment if I miss it. Also I find that if I miss or otherwise have a three day gap between workouts I start losing my ambition and it becomes harder so I know that keeping the momentum is far easier than dealing with inertia.
I was the most abject person in high school and bullied and ostracized mostly because I was just different, an eccentric weird person who was really enthusiastic and a functional introvert. I was bullied and people always seemed extremely interested in what I was doing and why I did things the way I did. Smoked weed and drank as cope and all that. Going away to college was the best thing for me because I had a clean slate and while my loner tendencies eventually caught up with me I was able to have lots of great experiences and make friends and have sex/relationships. That helped me let go of my bitterness and misgivings because I was able to move on from what happened in high school. It is hard to be filled with hatred and anger when you’ve moved onto a better place.
I’m still introverted, eccentric, sometimes awkward, exceedingly genuine, friendly but never seeking friendships, have some intense social anxieties and I am an odd duck. But you know what? No one ever forgets my name, I developed the gift of the gab and I’ve turned a lot of my oddities into assets in my career and life I’m general. I am more comfortable in my skin and years of introspection mean that I can predict my social anxieties and coping mechanisms and just go with the flow instead of being paralyzed or self sabotage.
You need to move on. You will never let go if mentally you’re still in the same place as you were in your teens and early 20s. I have a career and a family so I simply don’t have the luxury of being a complete man child anymore. Having a close group of bros like Friends or Seinfeld probably isn’t going to happen for you so just move on.
In all seriousness, what the frick is it with people on this board being so unsatisfied and having "self-hatred"?
Are you all still in your teens or university years where you have no money to lead the life you want to lead or are you simply stuck in the negative thinking people should generally avoid?
Ever since I started working after university and saved up my first 20k, I have been satisfied as frick and love life more than ever before
A lot of people from different backgrounds and upbringings mang, different brain chemistry. I feel bad for these people. Nobody chooses to be miserable. Why would they? They just get trapped in the loop.
The brain chemistry part is legit but the other stuff you can literally work on very easily. Get out of the goddamn loop and focus on not being negative
t. literal refugee who grew up in a single mom household for the longest time
I’m broke as frick and lost my whole twenties to my neck (ACK!) but I’m still happy despite everything everyone’s done to me. Must be a self worth idk. Got a good job recently, life’s good mang 🙂

Ummmmm no mom and dad I will goon post in CBTs because you didn’t fix my neck and all my friends are Blacks :*~~)
>pic related, a paid fed when I got thrown in a mental hospital for not being able to breathe through the base of my neck xD
I write down next week’s workouts as I complete this weeks so I’m basically locked in. Sometimes I’ll do leg day on Monday instead of on the weekend because it kind of wrecks my weekend if I’ve got shit to do. Other than that though it’s kind of locked in.
I have an insane crush on a taken shy 10/10 gym hapa girl since 2 years and my delusions keep me going to see her at least 1-2x each month (she has random times). I believe that she will leave him and my time will come, I'm lurking in the shadows, that's what keeps me going.
my legs, since I walk there
also all the hot men there (i'm gay)
seethe harder
if you need an excuse or reason to go to the gym besides your own self care you're weak minded

The fact that it's located in my livingroom
