For the past few months I've tried to be consistent, sticking to a daily routine of getting up at 6AM for a walk, then heading back home for breakfast/shower/etc, and then to the gym at around 8:30. Through doing this I've dramatically increased my strength, as well as my motivation to get other...

Long time lurker. Decided to join the forums to help keep myself accountable. After a bad year last year I decided to get back in the gym when they opened here in November. Lifted doing compounds 3-4x a week and noticed muscles coming back (muscle memory is great). But I’ve still been stressed...

It's gotten me really depressed and I've been having alot of anxiety, staying up for days, not eating etc. I know going to the gym and hitting the weights...

I'm a young guy and I'm very skinny. I've thought about going to the gym, but I can never seem to get over the fear of being the smallest person, having people give me looks for being super skinny and talking about it. What could I do about this? What has helped you in the past?

To clear up the title a bit more, is there anything that you remember using to motivate yourself that still stands out to you today or that you maybe even still use for motivation today? For me, I'll always remember a certain video that's a clip of Jocko Willink makes the point to take the things...
