>sit at work for 9 hours, 5 days a week>all I can think about while at the office is leaving work and lifting>daydream at my desk about new lifts I can try, meal prep ideas for the weekend, etc.>leave work>immediately all energy leaves my body the moment I get home>spend the next 5 hours sitting at my PC or on my phone before going to bed>maybe do 1 or 2 half assed 45 minute workouts a week at mostHow do I fix this
>>77516121Go to they gym before going home nigger. Put your gym clothes in your bag when you go to work that way you've already mentally "committed" to lifting that day
>>77516121Work out in the morning. Go to sleep at 8PM and wake up at 4AM if you have to. After a boring day of work it is very hard to go the gym afterwards.
Just shotgun a redbull, listen to Cenotaph by Bolt Thrower, get into hyperventilation and just go to the gym as if you wanted to kill God
>>77516121Either work out in the morning or try to get up from your desk whenever you can, just to get the blood flowing and take a walk during lunch break. Worst case you have to find a ritual that reliably gets you out of that hole before you can't get out of it anymore. Like already put your gym clothes out the day before and put them on immediately when you get home. Put on a song, take your pwo or whatever. Just gotta prime yourself so you know just because you're getting home your day hasn't ended. Or have your gym bag in the car already and go there straight from work.
>>77516129>>77516144I think part of the problems is that my gym is my home. I have a squat rack/bench/pulldown machine in the unused bedroom in my apartment.
>>77516157Just go sign up to the local gym and start pumping iron don't overthink
>>77516130This is the correct answer.
>>77516157Something that unironically helped me, when I was starting with just calisthenics in my bedroom, was sitting down for 5 min on Sunday and writing on paper my workouts for the next week. Then I just did it because that was the plan, not like a thought that it would be nice to workout 3 times this week, but a piece of paper telling me when and what to do.I work irregular hours these days, so this habit has just morphed into looking at my roster when it comes out and wondering when I can squeeze my lifting sessions. So it's almost a relief mentally when I get to the gym because I managed to fit it in-between work, chores and social things.What I'm saying is, just find a system where you have committed in advance to working out, even something stupid like, in the morning, putting your gym outfit on top of your keyboard so your brain is like "welp, let's just go through the plan"
>>77516179Yeah, I was gonna suggest the same thing. I have an excel wb for my program where I enter my numbers after each session and when I'm done I manually enter the date for my next session. Obviously, I could just have it auto-filled, but when I enter it manually I'm already making a commitment. The file is on my desktop. When I get home, I see the file, open it, and see: "Yep, I've decided that today is upper day" or whatever. There's no excuse and no decision to make.
>>77516121>>maybe do 1 or 2 half assed 45 minute workouts a week at mostThat's enough to keep it going. Check out MTT general for more ideas >>77516314(before it gets nuked again)
>>77516179Interesting, I’ll try this
>>77516157Are you fucking kidding? You have a home gym and are still to lazy to left? Just stop being a pussy dude. This sort of need to pontificate about something where literally the only answer is to just do it is pointless.
>>77516139I agree, the Bolt Thrower helps
