I want to share with you a technique that I like to use to get back into the right mind-set if I’m taking some time off from the gym, and this can work for anybody really. Maybe you’re someone who went on vacation for a few weeks and now you’re coming back and trying to hit it hard again. Maybe you had to take some time off because of work or family, maybe you were injured, or maybe it’s been a few years or you’ve never been in a gym before and you want to start for the first time, but don’t have the motivation to get there yet.

Staying Motivated In The Gym
One of the biggest things that’s going to happen to you whether you’ve never worked out before or you’re coming back after time off is getting your mind right. Getting your mentality back to that spot you were when you were hitting those workouts as hard as you possibly could. I feel like if you start going to the gym and doing routines you were doing right before you left, you’re going to basically come back and feel down that you’re not able to complete the same amount of sets and reps with the same amount of weight. Or maybe the workout will take twice as long, or you won’t even be able to finish the workout.

One of the biggest things that’s going to help you always progress with your training is always being positive. If you’re coming back after some time off, maybe it’s not the best idea to jump back into the intense workouts you were doing before you took that time off. Maybe it’s better to try something different, and get your body back where it used to be. It’s also helpful to get your brain set up to hit some goals that are very achievable that help motivate you to push yourself harder and harder.

I’ve developed a really fun training technique that I like to use when I go on vacation, so that when I come home I can do a different kind of workout, and still get that same feeling of accomplishment you get when you absolutely crush something. For example, let’s say you go into the gym and do a back and biceps workout with set reps, sets and exercises for both muscle groups and you know what weight you can do for the entire workout. You might not think it at the time, but when you go to the gym and do these exercises and maybe can’t complete all the reps or handle all the weight, mentally/sub-consciously it’s kind of demotivating. So if you can find something else to do, just to get your rhythm back and get yourself back in the game, I think that’s a really good idea so that you don’t get discouraged.

10 Rounds Of Fun
This is something I developed, and I like to call it 10 rounds of fun, because to me, that’s what it is. What I like to do, depending on what I am training for the day, is I do 10 rounds of 10 reps per exercise, and I separate it into two different blocks. For rounds 1-5, I pick 3 exercises, and then for rounds 6-10 I pick another 3 exercises. Let’s take a look at how it might look if you were to train back and biceps, along with a little bit of calves and abs as well.

Rounds 1-5

Exercise #1: Barbell Bent-Over Row (Underhand Grip) – 10 Reps
Exercise #2: Pull-Up – 10 Reps
Exercise #3: Calf Raises – 20 Reps

There are no rest periods between any of these exercises, you’re doing them one after another, non-stop. This is the main difference between sets and rounds – when you’re doing sets, you’re taking breaks between sets, when you’re doing rounds, you’re taking breaks (around 60-90 seconds) after completing ALL exercises.

You’re hitting these as hard as you absolutely can, maybe using a bit of my cheat & recover method, a bit of momentum, but the whole point here is to overload your muscles and hit them as hard as you can on every exercise. Once you’ve completed one round, you’ll go over to your board or phone or wherever you have your round numbers written down, and you’ll tick off the round you just completed. Every time you get to put a check mark next to one of your rounds, that’s like a goal accomplished.
