I don't know about your injuries and what kind of approach they require, revlon, but if it's a question of motivation, I do have one thing to say.
Even if you don't feel like working out right now, sooner or later you will. It has become part of your nature, right? You want that feeling of having made progress, because you're addicted to it. If this is true, then accept that it's only a matter of time until your mindset comes back around.
Unfortunately, no one knows how long that may take. If it does take several months, and you don't maintain in the meantime, you will almost certainly lose strength and size. That happened to me over the last 2-3 months, because I grew tired of eating enough (getting enough food to grow is much harder than lifting weights, imo). But now I'm getting back to where I was, and that includes eating this shit day in and day out. I'm happy to make progress again, but it really pisses me off that I'm still not back to where I was 3 months ago. What a fucking waste! I hate it. Going forward only to go back is insane, but it's also human.
If you let it go for even a few months, you'll probably be pissed off at having lost some of your gains. If you realize that, and accept it as true now, then perhaps you can prevent its happening in the first place.
Try to stay in the gym, if only to keep yourself from losing any ground. You'll probably thank yourself later, when you're ready to push forward again.
Good luck.

Thank you everyone you are very supporting. I will take some more time off, and will definetely get back to the gym. It is just that this is a very unfamiliar feeling to me. Project, I do not have consistent training partners.... I always motivated myself to do this. Bfold thank you bro, but it is not necessary. Anyway I will do what Exodus and Becoming said and just try to heal up, maybe will go Sunday's for strongman and do what limited events I can. Right now I feel as if I haven't worked out a day in my life

been there myself a lot of times over the years. a couple of things that can motivate you are thinking about the gains you've made (before/after pics, increase in lifts,etc etc), seeing other people lift, finding something as a distraction while your injury heals....when i get like this, i always say to myself; fuck this, i've been lifting for this long now, i can't go back now! works every time.revexrevex said:
