So here we are in the hunt for that "perfect" body, at least the perfect one in our minds. You get up run, eat right, you are lifting weights and then BAM you run into that wall. You know the one I am talking about that wall that sucks your motivation from you. It can cause a huge problem in almost all of us. I am not afraid to admit it hits me yearly or more.
SO you ask, how then to either advoid it or defeat it? One way is to take regualr breaks from the whole fitness thing. Usually for me it is about every three months. I just need a few days to a week off. My body kind of builds up a toxicity to exercise time to time. I learned to realize that and take time off.
NOW another way is to set small, medium, and large and yes XXL goals. I live for those goals. Each time I get a small one I set another and move the chains so to speak. For me it is fun to go in with the mindset that THIS time I will Deadlift 475, or run a mile or what ever you decide to do. SET goals that are reachable those are the sm ones. the XXL ones are the ones that are at least a year away.
This is my way, I have a place in my mind that I go to. In that place I "see" me lifting 600lbs and up for bench, squats, and Deadlifts. That is my long term goal. I LIVE FOR THAT DAY! I know that it is a matter of time till I get it. SO I go in and know that some days I lift I will make strides towards my goals. I also know that there will be times I utterly fail. That is part of this whole thing. No one is totaly perfect and you will fail at times. Thing is to get back on track and keep going.
DO not give in. Sure there will be days that you hate it, and all that. Good use it. Turn it around as a force to do better next time.
Good luck!
