What do yAll brehs do with lifting starts getting boring and feels like a chore?

[Standing on business]

I know this eventually happens to everyone Every once and awhile. I like the way lifting makes me look but it’s coming to that point again where the gym is starting to feel like a chore.

How do you guys remedy this? I usually just stop going for a few months but I don’t want to go that route this time.

I started feeling this way. I'm mostly happy with how I look so I felt OK cutting back to do other things. If I had the time I'd do something different every day (yoga, tennis, swimming, biking etc)

You have to find something new to do. If it feels like a chore, then most likely you not someone who enjoys the gym in general. I can work my ass off in the gym, but I don't enjoy the gym like some people. So my plan for when I get close to my weight goal is to also incorporate wall climbing. I should also reach my goal around when it starts getting warmer out. My stepfather wants to workout more, so I'm going to see if he wants to set up a workout area in the backyard. Maybe get a large tire, a mace to do some wood chopping exercises with.

I added racquetball, soccer and tennis to my cardio activities. Helps break up the monotony. If I had more time and energy, I'd add more things. I'm pretty much where i wanna be in terms of strength. Now I want to be more agile and have better hand eye coordination

Do something else

Once I really hit how I wanted to look I started having swings in my gym frequency cause I got bored w/ just working out for maintenance purposes

Weights is my therapy. If you only lift for vanity purposes you'll feel like it's a chore. Instead of paying a therapist I go to the gym.

On my off day from the gym I be looking forward to getting back to it. I love the shyt breh. shyt is only a job if you don't love it. At this point I can honestly say I love it more than sex.

Switch things up, brother. Lifting is supposed to be fun. At the very least, it should make you feel better. When I get in a funk, I switch shyt up and drop whatever program I'm following at the time and just do anything that I feel like doing at the gym. Whether it's cardio, kettlebells, or what have you. If you've been training like a bodybuilder, switch it up and maybe train as a power lifter (strength gains ) or as an athlete (more explosive, intense type workouts). But the most important thing is to not let it snowball into throwing you completely off track. Good luck.

You need to have discipline. Push through the feeling and continue on with your day. After the workout get your a plate and you will feel better then you did before you started.

thankfully my programming is extremely dynamic. since i switched gym 2 years ago i can't ever say it's gotten boring.

I was definitely hating it during the summer when I was cutting carbs and eating in a calorie deficit.

But now that I'm getting my calories back up I love it again
