Loss of workout energy/motivation

[Anonymous]

This past week or so, I haven't had the same energy I have as before while working out (I have taken some days off as well, seeing if I just have over worked myself). Yesterday I went and just didn't have the same energy or fire to lift or workout. I am not sure what it is, but just a concern because I want to continue my progress. Any suggestions of what I could to do help out?

There are several preworkouts you can take which do help although if you go down that route id reccomend researching the products fully before purchace.

Staying hydrated throughout the day and not just your workout can really help energy levels as well as exposure to sunlight. I've also heard conflicting things about stopping masturbation and directing your sexual drive into motivation so maybe that's worth a shot.

As far as explaining it goes you id say there are three possibilities:

- you're ill/about to be

- you're slightly depressed

- your hormones/testosterone are at a low point. Mens hormones can fluxuate similar to women.

Every once in a while, your body needs rest to repair strained muscles and build new muscle tissue...just go with your own feelings.

Trying to keep going full speed can be a little dangerous when you don't really feel like doing that. It's like working through pain. You could be exposing yourself to a likelihood of injury.

Push through it no matter what.

It could be a number of things but remember mind trumps all. If you really WANT to get it done then your body will follow.
