Gym selfies, weightlifting & fitness 🔥 (TW gym attire. Keep rules #6 and #7 in mind) (Part 1)

I see so many people talk about motivation and finding it. It’s so hard to build the habit but so worth it. It’s easy to say this now but a few years ago I was searching for motivation :laughing:

For sure, it definitely can be hard to build the habit! After several years of inactivity due to health issues and injuries, I’m back to the ‘habit building’ phase myself. In my self-reflection on the past, I could see where I interjected activity and fitness into my psyche and life outside of my work outs. Books, podcasts, lectures, etc. Like getting clean, making it part of who I was pushed me forward when base motivation wasn’t there; and I’ve found integrating these things into my life again has had the same result.

When I’m on a roll in so good, but I find it really doesn’t take much to get out the habit and just let it all fall away… Need to find the way and method of not letting external factors getting on the way off it. It’s actually mentally letting go off the routine that’s the the lynch pin for me.

Love your gym. I have a small room for mine and I’m on the look out for a pully machine I can fit in there… somewhere :person_shrugging: , but I’ve been considering wall anchoring and using more bands instead. I like how you’re really made use of the ceiling beams for that.

Thank you :slightly_smiling_face:. I bought my pulley machine from Titan Fitness, thought about buying 1 more but I don’t really have the room for it. I made some homemade “TRX bands” that I anchored between the ceiling joists.

Working out today and most people love to look in the mirror at themselves and see their work and their bodies. I mostly look myself in the eyes and think about my journey in life. I see the man where I once saw a kid thinking “boy if he only knew where the road would go and what he would do, he would laugh if he knew how much he would achieve, the heartbreak, the pitfalls, and how he would claw back from all that and rise again and again and again.”
