Lack of motivation

[LUCAS]

hey can anyone give me some motivation to hit the gym after school because after whole day at school i normally feel too tired... and then i end up doing everything half-assed.

You might want to start by reading your own signature line

[timinator]

You should change it to champions are made in gyms! Might be a bit more motivating :pfft:

Other ideas:

Listen to angry music :evil: or a song that gets you motivated

Visualise where you want to be - if you're taking your rugby seriously, do you aspire to a provincial team, maybe the U21s or whatever.

Then, when you think of that goal, and every time you feel like quitting, remember that there's a bunch of guys out there who want that same starting slot.

The guy who gets the slot will be the one who didn't go half-assed, he turned up, trained every day like it was his last chance to impress...

Have a read of some of the guys' signature blocks for quotes from Dorian Yates and others...

just give up, or alternatively quit your bitchin and get into it :twisted:

[Gym rat]

just get stuck in and put the hard yards in

self discipline. nothings handed to you. it takes blood, sweat and fucking tears to get anywhere in life.

seeing as you said "after school" im assuming your finding this out the hard way.

dig in.

as i said, NOTHING that you want is ever handed to you. you have to earn it.

now suck it up and push on.

begin with the end in mind

[steak]

begin with the barbell in hand :grin:

[boostinggtir]

read my journal, im sure every one agrees it's the most motivating ever!!!

amen to that. or just imagine yourself becoming a real massive dude, imagine ripping those muscle fibres apart

[Nand0]

You don't need motivation mate...

Just go, listen to angry music :twisted:, what ever to distract you.

School then gym an't bad...

Try being sick with flu all week working 10 hour shifts and going right after work.

[trainharder]

if you dont have motivation theres no hope.

if you are relying on others to give you that motivation what will happen if theres no one around to push you.

find it within yourself or you wont achieve anything.

[Grover]

Listen to your mother

-do your homework

do dishes

mow lawns

tidy your room

if that doesn't get you out and motivated nothing will

[PTinCHCH]

man up.

stop being a pussy and DO IT :twisted:

Motivational factors could include anything that has made you angry, just revisit that thought and it may work. Nothing like getting angry while doing work great stress relief. Ha

But thats a bit boring so a shorter version:
