I think we all need the reminder every now and then.

Personally I changed my programme last week after staying almost a year on my previous routine and it was becoming boring.

And boring is the enemy that makes you not go to the gym, makes you not train as hard.

I spent some time looking for a new programme but most of them used the same exercises and progression system which was just rehashing what I’d been doing for months. I eventually found this one: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=157587143 which I’m in the process of trying out (but liking it so far).

But obviously at the gym the best routine is the one everyone else is doing, but they never want you to be on it lol. So remind yourself: at least you’re doing something. You could be staying at home on the couch, or you could be working out. And you chose to work out.
