    How do you pump yourself up to go hard?

    @cg828 Right now I’m following the Natasha ocean MOVE program, which I like well enough. I bought it a while ago so I wanted to use it before switching to another program so as not to waste my money. But after this one I may go searching for another program to switch it up. Yeah but I keep not...

    How do you pump yourself up to go hard?

    @dawn16 Totally agree about the self reflection. I’m definitely working out because I know I should. Not for weight purposes but because I know the benefits are so numerous. But feeling like I have to is different from wanting to. I’m working on finding a way to WANT to work out. Luckily I’ve...

    How do you pump yourself up to go hard?

    @dawn16 Good question, and one that’s tough to answer. I guess I kind of half ass everything except my rests lol. I want to lift heavy(er), get my heart rate up, and sweat. I do all of these things currently, but I feel like not enough. I’m not lifting as heavy as I know I physically can, I’m...

    How do you pump yourself up to go hard?

    @heartofberries Thanks for the “half-assing is better than no-assing” because that’s so hard to remember. As for WHY, that’s a great question. My goals are very… ephemeral I guess. I want to be stronger so that I can live life more fully and be able to do activities even up into old age. I...

    Was it dangerous to bail out of my squat with my hair like this? (See image)

    @johnmarsten Your hair doesn’t look long enough to get caught and 2. It is NEVER okay for a stranger to touch you without permission unless it’s some sort of emergency, much less touch your NECK, which is a really… vulnerable and personal place to touch someone. It’s not like he touched your...

    How do you pump yourself up to go hard?

    @nathan2018 I’ll look into the GZCL program. And I’ll probably do what you said, test myself on closer to a 2-3 rep max so I don’t scare myself about pulling a muscle or something. I appreciate the comment!

    How do you pump yourself up to go hard?

    @nathan2018 See I find the amount of weight to be the hardest thing. Like yes my program says to do squats but it obviously doesn’t tell me how much weight because it varies for everyone. So I’ll just squat like 80 lbs and be done, even though I CAN go heavier. I never know which lifts to do...

    How do you pump yourself up to go hard?

    @ellenego So this is my problem. I only have a little time before the gym in the am so I don’t have time for like a full, complete breakfast with time to digest before workout. So at most I get like half a bagel and call it good, but I know it’s probably not enough. Working out in the morning...

    How do you pump yourself up to go hard?

    @rosieisaposie I’d love to but I’d wake my husband up. Our schedules are slightly skewed by a few hours from one another. I could probably do some quieter ones but not like vacuuming or dishes :/ good suggestion though!
