honestly the "god I don't wanna do this, but I'm going to do it" feeling has gotten me through more than a few gym days. Do you like podcasts or TV or music? Bring it with you and focus on that.
I recently started bringing my e-reader to the gym, and it has made it so much more enjoyable. I used to be a gym rat but I don't find it as enjoyable anymore, but I still love reading. After a set I treat myself with a page or two, depending on how much rest those muscles need.
Been a few months of honestly inconsistent workouts and I'm halfway there to my PRs already.
As a bonus, I have cut down on my social media use as well. No downtime between sets means I don't check lemmy, tiktok, or whatsapp.
