Motivation

Recently my motivation to train has been...terrible.

I don't know what my goals are, Im not playing basketball so much anymore i've kinda grown out of that dream and focusing on my grades/uni next year/future career...

but i still want to be beast, athletically, physically...

but before when people asked me why i do it it was always...for basketball...

I've taken breaks gone back started again been inconsistent took more breaks...and gone nowhere, backwards if anything, ive gained body fat, lost muscle mass and lost strength...i can still dunk though  :ninja:

Not sure why im posting it, just feel like sharing my predicament...

Should I write up some goals, a new routine which is manageable, and go again?

Your goals are your goals, but I find them terrible. You want to gain muscle on thighs and lose fat on waist until the end of the month. That's a fantastic way of making sure that you won't reach either of those goals. If you want to be a beast, it's time to gain some muscle and stop worrying about the circumference of your bodyparts. You will have major thighs once you can squat 200 kilos, I promise.

squat 200kg a lot of times and eat tons of protein. u will eventually wear compression to hide your quadzillas..

oh dont worry the fat loss isnt a main goal that will just come as i stop eating all the junk i ate over xmas etc and actually move once or twice through the day, my main goal is muscle goal and yeah i have weight goals in my journal i just used the thigh measurement to gauge if im actually putting muscle on, but yeah i just saw them quads and im off to squat right now lol.
