I always loose motivation on working out, or things always get in the way in life, there are always excuses to not work out, or simply i just get lazy and dont want to get ready to go to the gym. I decided to go ahead and buy myself a little workout bench set on craigslist for $220 and then decided to build a pull up and dips location in the backyard, this way i eliminated a lot of excuses and i can simply do some sets while doing other things in the yard or in the house or in the garage, dont have to go anywhere, dont have to change, just do it!!
A little about myself, i never really stuck to working out for long periods of times, it was more of a little fun hobby to do with friends, but as i was getting older, you have less friends who are free or less friends who are able to go to the gym with you. Also as i got older (now 32) i started hurting my back at random times, either being unsafe or thinking im still as young as i was before, well that back injury kept me away from doing a lot of active things because every time it seemed like i was getting all better i would injury again in the weirdest way possible, at one point i think i was washing my car and pulled sometimes because i never give my back time to fully recover properly.
So now at 32, im starting to give working a different approach. This time im trying to stick to a little lighter weights, but instead of moving up in weight, im trying to move up in reps, and for now avoid doing low reps like 6-8s in order to condition my body slower with lighter weight, but yet still get a good workout in. I also decided to go ahead and make a little thread and videos for motivation reasons. Its much easier to quit when you dont share your progress and people are not watching, this way it will push me more to stick with it.
Hopefully this will also motivate others to stick to working out and not give up, because as you are getting older, you are getting weaker and more fragile, my goal is to get OLDER and BUFFER and obviously be more in shape
