The comeback! PT.2

Part one: https://thewhey.home.blog/2020/02/05/the-comeback-pt-1/

Going back to the gym after a long break ?

5) Gym playlist

Add or delete some songs in your current gym playlist, or maybe make one if you don’t already have one.
The equation to an amazing workout:
Amazing playlist=Amazing workout

6) Work out vlogs

If watching workouts with sick edits doesn’t give you motivation. Please let me know what motivates you /.\
The week before I went back into the workout flow, I spent the whole week watching workout fitness vlogs to get the vibe and possibly some motivations.

7) Podcasts

Those typical daily motivation podcast (in my opinion) won’t make anyone feel motivated to go back to lifting weights.

Instead, listen to some that provides quality information about fitness in general, you get to do something productive and learn new things at the same time. Isn’t that amazing?

IOS comes with apple podcast for Android you can use spotify.

Here are some of my personal favorites:
Iraki nutrition (Juma Iraki)
Iron culture (Eric Helms & Omar Isuf)
Muscle Intelligence (Ben Pakulski)
The Jeff Nippard podcast (Jeff Nippard)
Stronger by science (Greg Nuckols & Eric Trexler)
The Revive stronger podcast (Steve Hall)

8) Ego

Not an actual tip but let’s talk about it.

It’s hard, I understand, it’s difficult for me as well, but I think we all need to keep in mind that we stopped lifting for a while and it’s totally normal to lose strength.
We all have our own egos and that is not to be blamed. Leave it at the locker room before going into the gym.

We all know how ridiculous ego lifting looks don’t we? Slow and controlled reps with lighter weights always appears more impressive than a bicep curl that makes you look like you’re trying to use the barbell as a shovel to dig a hole.
