Bad Gym days frequently

How do I stop bad gym days? I'm eating more than enough, getting at least 6 hours of sleep, etc. I'll have one workout be so good people come up to me asking where to buy and if I sell gear. While ATLEAST once a week I'll get a day where I'm lifting 30% less and just no drive. I'm planning on starting my first cycle and I can't have this bs happen

Here's my diet
1 and 1/3c egg whites 1/2 cup oats
8oz lean beef cup rice broccoli
8oz chicken 1 cup rice or sweet potatoe and carrots
Banana protein shake 1 scoop
8oz chicken or beef 1 cup rice
1-2 hrs then gym
10 oz any protein any good carb
Casein protein shake before bed

Try drinking some black coffee before a workout to get a quick 'kick'?

When I'm lacking in strength or drive, I usually will have a coffee and be fine after. Much better than using preworkouts imo

For me personally my mind is my own best friend / worst enemy. Try watching some workout videos on YouTube use before you hit the gym. Get a new routine, maybe a new pre work out or fat burner for energy. I always have my best days when i eat 60+ grams of starchy carbs one hour before I hit the gym. Also aminos are a must for me intra-workout.

On cycle your motivation will always be much higher for many reasons. For one the gains coming tend to motivate Very well.

Usually that isn't the case on cycle. Your workouts should be off the charts as your cycle progresses.

as mentioned caffeine!!!!

If you are having bad days then something is wrong with your nutrition or your rest. I never have bad days at the gym. Are you mixing things up or are you just lifting heavy all the time? What rep range are you shooting for?

I really don't have a fixed training program, I just make sure I hit a few compound lifts then pump as much blood as I can with accessory work. Some reps are for 4, some 30 like rope push down. I also do a lot of drop sets. But, i have a physique close to george butler (some kid) just not as lean, I might even be bigger. Btw I've been taking me Hyde for a while and its not working as good

how do you judge your gains?

If I'm feeling good I throw more weight on and make sure each week I do ATLEAST as good as last week or go for more reps/weight

I'm assuming I have above average genetics and with hard work comes results, sort of like branch warren style vs Matt Ogus

Are you training at the same time each day? I try to keep my training time consistent so that I have consumed the same amount of food each day and I always wait one hour after I eat to train. Then by the time I am done with training and cardio it's time to eat again

Yeah always leave 6:30-7. I'm gonna try out waiting longer after my pre workout meal. I also wait an hour but maybe I haven't digested it enough, I've read so many threads/articles claiming pre workouts are better on an empty stomach.

I eat my meal wait 30 minutes and drink my pre workout. Then head to the gym and by the time I get there and ready it's been an hour. Most pre workout take about 30 minutes to kick so that's why I do it that way

I too, will wake up at 4 do my pinning:) eat some oats/banana or Apple a shk wait 30min as well then pre- workout

I don't like feeling too bogged down by 530am workouts...I prefer fasted cardio but can't keep that intensity without some carbs and fats - after I'll have a big meal(8 egg whites w/veggies,spinach, meat, ch, more oats(or a bagel)a banana etcIt's key to switch things up(routine etc... But I always go at the same time... As Bio stated its much better to keep the same consistant routine & time)....

Just My exoerience!

There are many routes to getting amped up for a workout, some home made others off the shelf. I prefer convenience, so my go pre-workout ritual is to have a cup of coffee, then two scoops of Super NOS and a 1/4 or 1/2 capsule of Yohimbe.

You will come down of course, but being up like that helps me significantly. Take a small dose of Yohimbe to see how you react to it before, since it will raise your blood pressure and heart rate, because it acts similar to an amphetamine.

Nothing gets me more amped for lifting than watching pretty much any Jason Stathom movie. Especially crank

Giving your eating regimen and slumber are under control, preparing every muscle amass twice every week is far unrivaled from a muscle development point of view.
