Body weight is great especially if you are new to training.

After a while, your body will become accustomed to that level of training and progressive overload will become your best friend.

That's when you up the exercise to make it harder. My goals are just to be in the greatest shape I've been in my life at 40 while being athletic and have total body control. More basketball player than football player. Like when I was in high school. Run fast jump high endurance for days and then cigarette break

I've quit already though just was me growing up.

Ha! Well good luck to you man. Being physically fit is a feeling that you can't put a price on. Don't know much about the cigarette part

Yeah I quit the cigarette about six months ago. Well I still get my nicotine through vaping but tapering off. I'll post a vid update when I can do something worthy. Lol

Anyone who works out ever lose motivation to hit the gym seemingly out of nowhere? I used to hit the gym 6 days a week with intensity everyday. I went because it felt wrong not to go. Now i struggle to go 2 times a week....ironically, my raw lifting power has increased, but I'm not as toned as I used to be, nor do I have the stamina I had before. I used to look forward to lifting, and I still do, but it takes some effort to go to begin with.

Yeah it happens. Spent 20 years missing no more than a few days here and there now skip more often and when i do go not always as morivated.

just need to set some goals for yourself. when we lose sight of some end goal that we want to achieve, we don't develop some sort of path to get there. no path means you just end up doing much less than what you're capable of.

set some goals, whether it's the deadlift # you want to hit a month from now, or body fat percentage you want to get at, etc. develop a path to get there, and your body will push you to achieve that goal no matter what it takes.

this is why i've always chosen powerlifting over bodybuilding. if i try to go to the gym just to hit some cable crossovers, or dumbbell flys, or side delt raises, i'll lose interest very quickly. when i set goals on a certain incline bench press i want to hit, or military press, or front squat, i feel motivated to get my ass to the gym and do what i need to do in order to reach my goal.

always have goals

edit: i guess it also depends on personality. personally, i'm a competitive bastard...probably more than is good for my own sake. but, being super competitive means i will never miss a gym day to reach my goal, and i will not accept failing to reach it (i.e., by not getting to the gym)

Been taking glucosamine on regular think it's helping shoulders a bit, paused 225 for 8 today on bench no issues. Wish it did more for my knees

For knees nothing helps , but Euflexxa injections will work ..
My left knee is f@cked up from too heavy squats over the years and only Euflexxa works for the moment .
Note: Knee injections are not fun !
