At this point i had been out of the gym for about 9 months
The weights felt different, there was no connection like I had before
the rage that I used to train with, was completely gone

But I pushed through
I couldn't spend hours at the gym like I used to
2-3 hours went down 30mins - 1 hour
I couldn't train my lower body due to the pain and no weight /stress allowed on my back
Surprisingly benching didn't place any strain on my back so I was left with that
Bench had always been my favourite.
I spend every 2nd/3rd day with benching in my session
You'd be surprised how much your bench will fly up when it's trained 3 times a week
I went from 70kg 1rm to a 140kg 1rm in 4 months (keeping in mind even though I had 9 months off my previous 1rm was 130kg)

But eventually the stress of my full time uni course and fI'll time business caught up to me
1 day skipped turned into 2 which turned into 7 etc
months passed where I didn't even go for 1 session

Fast forward to this year
I weigh 130kgs
I joined a new gym
stepping back in that first time brought back some great memories
but I face the same issue as before
the anger and hate that I drew my energy from, in which I used to feed off and take me to a place where no amount of weights or reps meant anything was replaced with doubt and self loathing
I can barely stay in the gym for more than 30 minutes without wanting to leave
The movements feel strange, the weight unforgiving
What used to be a warm up is now my max
I have nothing to feed off any more and I don't know how to train otherwise

So let me ask you again /fit/
How do you do it?
How do you force yourself to go to the gym?
How do you do it with no rage and hate besides what is directed at yourself?
How do you pick up the pieces of what's left of your former glory, where at one stage your peak was not good enough and now you would give anything to have it back?

You can choose to believe my stats or not but at this point I don't think it matters

>I met with the neurosurgeon and after talking to him for a bit we decided on having surgery
neurosurgeon for your back?

It's going to be tough, but you're a big strong capable man and will be fine. Chin up old sport

I feel like you linger onto your past too much. Do you think you're depressed? if so, do you think that incident was the reason for your loss of mojo? I just do it because it's fun and I like having a muscular build.

I went through a lot of things mentally in the last couple of years
I definitely think my injury was one of the causes of that, but also because of the stress from my daily life (uni and business)
It used to be fun for me but now not so everything is such an effort to which I have no energy or motivation

there are times where I get boosts ofor inspiration and want to get right back into it
but when I go, there's nothing
no feeling
no motivation
it feels unnatural and forced

bro just go. wake up and go.we cant help you you have to just go GO NIGGA!!!

Try other sports. Lifting doesn't have to be your main workout. I used to draw full time and ever since I lost my mojo and back pain, I haven't been drawing anything. I found lifting so I'm happy again, sometimes it's good to start over and be a newb, gives you purpose.

lot of sports involve running etc
a lot of movement get the injury flamed up again
I'll look into it
i used to play football (full contact though)

If you are hating the gym, do something fucking different. Stop lifting and go train for a triathlon. It will take you about 6 months to a year to become competent at swimming, running, and biking and the cardio highs will keep you coming back to the gym.
