40 years old 5’7 185lbs about 13% fat kinda of losing the urge to lift. Think i need a kick in the ass. Any suggestions?
Lost focus? Did you leave it in your other pants or something?
Find a goal you want to achieve, whether it’s entering a bodybuilding contest, powerlifting meet, or even a marathon. Just pick something you’d enjoy and train for it.
GO WATCH PUMPING IRON, YOU PUSSY.

Hahahhaha
You are a weak, ugly, skinny-fat loser. Just give up the gym and leave having a good body to the rest of us. You will lose your job because you come across as pitiful. Also, your wife/girlfriend will move out of your trailer, and into my mansion…
Maybeeeeeeeeeee take a week off, in that weeek relax, do things u don’t normally do, have some fun. Make a new eating schedual, make new training goals. Hope that helps a little. The above posts are great too though haha.
Thanks that helps.
I think i might even buy a new shoe so i can get a better body fat measurement
I find some people just don’t have it in them. If going to the gym is like a chore to you, you probably don’t.
Whenever I feel like I’ve lost some focus or attention in the gym, all it takes is a heavy full body workout to slap me back on track.
Check out an HRT clinic while you’re at it.
Buy TC’s new book, read the Shugart’s Christmas article.
Look at old pictures of yourself when at your WORST. Watch Pumping Iron, Conan the Barbarian, Rocky, Fight Club, whatever…
Bend over now so I can give your weak ass a kick.
Pussy.
If you lost your focus, get it back. The problem isn’t in the gym. Create a goal, and go for it.
What this site
(and the actions performed thereafter) is about is not simply “getting” an hour in the gym. Consider the attitude of an avid lifter–why, how does he keep going. Its never been about paying your dues or paying the piper, its about pushing yourself to the limit.
Not to be there, but to be the best there is. Who ever said I want to be the most average (insert word here)-er there is. What gives an 80 year old man the motivation to compete in a bodybuilding contest? Thats for you to decide (it has happened). Your problem lies not in a barbell or weight. A gym hasn’t EVER done you wrong, the men and women of the iron never will. Find your x factor and destroy it, with extreme prejudice. If you are unable to, please kindly turn in your athletic shorts and sweat-stained T-shirts, and exit stage right.
If a kick in the ass is truly what you need, I would be more than happy to oblige.
Come up with a new goal and stick to it.
Why did you start lifting in the first place?

The majority of the people I see in the gym are “just maintaining”. I can see how it would be easy for someone like that to lose focus. They never really had any to begin with.
Someone who actually had some significant goals of looking completely different in the future wouldn’t lose their drive so easily…unless they were also the type who never makes any progress…which usually results from having goals but never working their life in a way that allows them to reach those goals OUTSIDE of the gym.
That is one reason I am glad this site is claiming to go back its bodybuilding roots. People can ramble on about how “functional” they are forever, but if they aren’t making VISIBLE progress, how the hell do they expect to stick with this for years?
They won’t.

AMEN!
Look at your 45 year old friends and coworkers who don’t lift. If you are satisfied looking like them in 5 years, having no more energy and vitality then they do, and willing to deal with the various health issues which their life style leads to, then fuck it, get some cheetos and hit the couch. On the other hand…

There’s no nice way to say this, but as long as you have to ask someone else this question you will go nowhere. The iron game is just one of those types of things.
For those who succeed no external motivation is necessary and for those who don’t none is possible.
