Going back to the gym can be a daunting task. Thoughts of why you quit in the first place comes to mind and whether you will run into the same issues. A lot of the reason we make mistakes at the gym and subsequently quit comes down to how we START at the gym. And if we have a better plan for going to the gym, chances are we will be more successful in our fitness goals.
Let's take a look at some things you might want to consider before heading back to the gym!

Wish soreness was a constant thing. Yes it hurts but it also feels as a relief that you did something right and hit the right muscles
Indeed, after a while I stop being sore and I'm always wondering if I need to switch things up due to lack of soreness...
@@simeonstoyanov5226same lol
I’ve been going to the gym for 6 months now. My muscles are still sore after every workout 😅😅
Sameee
Late but it doesn't matter if your sore the next day. If your not sore DURING your workout even a little bit though, then yeah, you could go harder
Been training seriously for 1 month. My bench is exploding due to muscle memory. Hope to have a 3 plate bench in summer. Good luck guys
My goal is 2 plates 😅
Doing 3 plates in 6 weights is probably close to impossible. At least if you are doing it natural
@@nikolaiwollum7430 3 plates is very possible naturally
@@lewisprice2743 did you read his comment or are you just dumb? Naturally in 6 months? No.
@@nikolaiwollum7430 possible af just get fat
Dude, you read my mind! I work out regularly, but every once in a while, I stay away a little bit for one reason or another, like lack of motivation right now. That's what I need to reaffirm, as I already knew some of it. Keep up with your content, bro! 💪🏼👊🏼
My tip would be not to beat yourself up if you don't hit your previous reps. Neuromuscular adaptation fades quickly and is a huge part of lifting. You don't lose muscle until three weeks of no lifting (unless youre severely ill and bedbound) so chill out if you seem weaker after a week off. Even if you lose muscle, muscle grows back a lot quicker if you already built it previously so you'll be back to top form soon. To stop myself getting down about strength losses after a break, i only let myself use lighter weights so i can't compare how many reps i usually do
Try 3 months off due to depression
@@Determinator21depression doesn't exist
@@Nikolas_mavros I got 9 scientific articles proving you're wrong
@@Determinator21 if you believe you can't get better then you can't. Belief is a powerful thing and you are just limiting yourself for no Reason believing the lies they tell you
What a coincidence, I was planning to return to the gym today.
Just like yesterday, and the day before, and the day before.... It's complicated.
lmao
Can you give us an update here brother
Update, I went to the gym today.
Well, the gym parking lot.
It shares a parking lot with various fast food restaurants.
@@shanerooney7288 parking lot. Yes. I heard it's the first step before fast food.
This was my first real gym week, thank you with the video and perfect timing!
You read my mind, Picture Fit!! I'm hoping to get back into the gym after years of inactivity, due to COVID lockdowns, family issues and a recent arthoscopy operation that I'm still slowly recovering from. Thanks for the video.
GREAT advice and facts! I personal never on my phone while working out and having a gym partner/friend with you at the gym is always fun!
I needed this video so much, thx so much
I got hit by a truck and before that I got hit with the holiday backtrack mindset. So I just remade my commitment to myself to get back to where I was when I quit going.
I feel like I’m starting back where I was when I first started. But I’m light years ahead of that. I know my way around the gym better, I know how. I know all the tricks of my past, things I would’ve done better when I “first started,” before . I’m looking forward to seeing where I get in the amount of time and how well I bounce back on track rather than when I was just starting from scratch.
The full moon 🌕 many other bodys must be in the same route. Have fun whether to take the fast track or the detoured route. ✌🏿 🙏🏿 let’s get it !!
I’m finally getting back to the gym after months of surgery recovery. I really appreciate these videos!
Great video as always
I was creating a ppt for work on the benefits of minimalist fitness and this is the thing I needed to break my writers block. Amazing video
Thanks I've been off the gym for a whole day this advise was really helpful
This video was the best! Thanks
I made a pull-up goal for myself and decided to do the old fashioned "Do 50 pull-ups no matter how many sets" workout. Then did the rest of my back and bicep exercises afterwards. My arms were at 90-120 degree angles for 4 days lol. I took nearly 15 painful seconds to outstretch my arms. It's been exactly one week and my biceps are still just a bit sore. Pretty funny. I'm an experienced lifter though, so while the soreness was more than expected, I am undeterred.
Tried stuff like that a couple of times, but I think there's a big danger of going way too light most of the time. Ie doing like 3 pull ups when your max is 12,just to get to 50 faster.
I'm so glad you're posting again
Me too, thanks for watching.
amazing jokes and info. Thanks for the video
Thanks! Will be using this when I return from my injury since May 2022
This video is hilarious keep it up and great knowledge to be learned from this video
Hogging equipment just sitting there on a cell phone is so bad at the gym. So glad you mentioned this.
I use my phone to log my progress. I record how many reps I do in each set and try to do at least one more rep the next time, or increase the weight if too many reps. That keeps me focused pretty well.
Yep, also I use the timer between sets to make sure I'm not resting too long/short
Yeah i actually use an app for that, super useful.
@@ashtar3876 what app?
Latley your vedoes look so much better. I think you realy improved yoir edeting skills. Love your videos
damn video came out right as i was thinking of going back
I basically did this when I started the gym like the 5th time 😂 but now consistently for almost 3 months. But now this is a perfect video im send to people wanting to better them self.
This a calling to go back to the gym after my 3 week rest going into my 4th while I lost my gains but I’m not crying your crying ❤
2 years ago I went back to the gym, thinking I would get all the DOMS over with as quick as possible, I gave 100% on a multi hour full body workout. Two days after I was hospitalized with traumatic rhabdomyolysis peeing insanely small amounts of what looked like black coffee.
So yeah, take it easy when going back
Shit man, what causes rhabdo?
@@SalmanAwan464 There are traumatic causes including overtraining and non-traumatic causes like certain drugs, autoimmune diseases, or bad electrolyte levels to name a few
Jeeeezzz good you're still here
@@SalmanAwan464 What Nocklas stated is correct, in my case my body had broken down so much muscle tissue that my kidneys could not keep up, they measure it by measuring creatine kinase of which my levels maxed out on the maximum reading their equipment could handle (7800 U/L).
nice this guy know what his saying and his entertaining
I just analysed the screen shot study that you ve provided. Participants in the texting condition had a significantly lower average treadmill speed compared to those in the control and music conditions, and their heart rate was also significantly lower than those in the music condition. Additionally, participants in the texting condition did not report liking the experience as much as those in the music condition. These findings suggest that texting while walking on a treadmill may not be an optimal way to exercise, as it may impair both physical and subjective performance.
My gym doesn't open on Sundays and I'm already feeling the symptoms of abstinence
how do you know i've not been to the gym for two weeks?!
>put the phone away
nope, not happening, lol. I need something to do to for 5 minutes between deadlift and squat sets.
I have a question that can't be found literally anywhere... I came across this preworkout (Maniac) that lists creatinine (not creatine) as one of the ingredients. If this is a byproduct that our bodies excrete as waste, why would we want to put it in our body?
The product is called Maniac by Anabolic Warfare and the ingredient listed specifically shows 1g of creatinine (NF) per serving.
Home gym needs for body recomp
Lifting after a month of rest. The DOMS hits you very hard.
I think this is a sign
what do you guys do between sets when you have to take long breaks if not go on your phone? i genuinely need something to do otherwise i look so awkward just sitting there lol
Partner downfall: you won't go on your own when your partner is busy.
Great video! However, personally I find working out by myself more productive...working out with someone tends to make the session drag on with too much conversation and distraction. Guess I'm a born loner. 🤷♂
I've got like no social skills, yesterday i went with a friend and apart from some cardio at the end it was super awkward
For me, training alone is great for consistency in my usual progression workouts. But I normally perform better when training with a partner/group.
0:50 oh yeah
Y'all take breaks?
I've got a few markers for Marfan's syndrome. I'm extremely double jointed but I can actually increase my muscle mass, albeit at a slower pace than average. Over the years I've had to hit the gym for a couple of months at a time just to keep my joints stable for a year or so. That's not an option now, as the condition does not really improve and if I don't keep going consistently my joints start suffering really soon after stopping.
So my motivation is completely health related. I've always hated hitting the gym as I find it excruciatingly boring, but strength training is the only thing my physicians actually encourage me to do. I've been hitting the gym at least 3 times a week for a year now and I'm stronger than ever; as a nice side effect my body looks way better now and I'm even starting to like, even enjoy, lifting weights. In order to deal with the boredom I listen to podcasts or political debates and listen to music when I do my 20 minutes of cardio per gym session.
I don't have a partner since most of the exercises I do are rehabilitation focused, but I do track everything. I track the reps and weight I do for each exercise and it helps me measure how much I can increase the weight and reps without risking an injury.
Honestly there is nothing like a good muscle sorness in my legs to keep me motivated to go again next week and smash them again.
Bro how? How do you always know?
Witchcraft
Is there a video that I missed about the mood troughout the day that I missed?
Newbie gains all over again except this time I have 5 hard years of experience and mind muscle connection to start with. Can't wait to see my muscles come back. Starting laughable light and low volume. Building the gym habit is the most important part.
Yep, half the battle is just showin up 😉
About to get back into the gym after taking 6 months off due to my wife’s pregnancy 😢
Hey can u help me out brother. You have motivated me to work out been hiking a few weeks feeling a lot better and looking it. Should I just get 2 25lb free weights to get my arms in shape first or just go all out to a gym. I have social anxiety thus I love hiking solo alone and really don’t wanna work out near people. I just have a treadmill tho and 5lb weights x.x so considering 2 25lb ones before stressing myself at a gym
Bro i just went back yesterday 😮
i want to go back. but these prices are ridiculous in my neighborhood xD nope
Just starting to train. I'm old.
Is Starting Strength the best book to use?
And what's the best app on iOS to track progress?
ty
Im not going back, I found bouldering 💟
I never left
Lmao insane lab’s Psychotic is good 👍🏻
You th best
Do a Video on people Who dont get stronger after Werks of Training (Progressive Overload)
Bad, / diet/ sleep/ training or a combination of these things
Ideal %BF to start a clean bulk? I have ~15%
My biggest pain is finding my new working weight and watching my progress being reversed after a long break
A video on when you're too old to expect any real visual muscle growth would be nice. 🤷🏼
Feeling like it might be too late for me at 35 😅
Bruhh i didnt go to the gym for a month because of exams im 15 and my highest deadlift was 90kg and then new year hit and i didnt go to the gym for the whole January because i went back and i got the DOM then now its February so ill go back to the gym and start slow wish me luck😅(THE REAL REASON I WANTED TO GO BACK IS CUZ MY BRO TOLD ME IM GETTING SKINNIER 😢)
… I was about to go the gym.. DAM YOU PICTURE FITT😭😭 (jk luv ur vids lol)
Me watching a video on DOMS after my first leg day in over a month: 😲
Nah; I use my phone for tracking my workout, having a quick reference for workout form, and music.
GO TO JIM!!!! 😀
and don't take up multiple machines and a bunch of weights and use them sparcly, never seen so many people do that recently they act as if the whole gym is there own and no one else workouts there. Be considerate and kinds to you fellow gym members
What u think about Lizzo and wherever she promotes
I experienced craazy leg doms after my first leg session post deload. I've never had such bad doms, can anyone explain? I always take a deload week every 6-10 weeks but never have I ever had such bad doms after my first workout
I had doms in my traps once. They are a very nerve rich area and the pain was so agonising it woke me up at 3am and kept me up the entire rest of the night. I didnt' want to take ibuprofen cuz that would kill my gains.
Same, even five days off between leg days resets my adaptation and gives me doms as bad as my first ever session. I find its mainly in my hamstrings so i try to ease into them slowly, even doing only one set for rdls and leg curls in my first leg day back. Think doms is worse when you give your muscles a novel stimulus, like how doms is usually bad when you try a new exercise. So taking a few days off resets your adaptation and makes it novel again
@@sparky844 I’ve never heard of ibuprofen killing my gains? I have muscle soreness after every workout despite been going to gym for 6 months now. I take ibuprofen monthly because of period pain and migraines. Does it really affect my muscle growth?
@@ScrumptiousRump The mechanism by which it does this is unclear, but there is evidence that it will. As a general rule of thumb: as long as your muscles hurt from training, don't take pain killers.
Never take them on the same day as your workout, ever. However, if you really are in agony, one tablet should be fine just to take the edge off.
@@sparky844 Okay Good to know. Thanks!
Maybe. That's me. For the past 8 years.
😊
once im jobless no more, i start to stop hitting the gym when i still on college. i really want to stay active on gym after i work but my work include lot stamina and energy (field worker) so i just feel tired all day without coming to gym. anyone have any tips for weak ass like me who alrdy get tired from work and want to keeep going on gym ? thanks everyone
Try minimal stuff, like just doing one hard set per exercise instead of 3+ sets like everyone seems to recommend.
A little bit is much better than nothing, but a lot isn't necessary much better than a little.
@@ordinaryhuman5645 thanks for encourage me, well I planed to visit gym again soon next month. It's gonna be very hard this time since I'm fasting too but Im gonna try hard. Thanks for your advice
@@ordinaryhuman5645 ima keep it for real next month this time
HES BACK
Am I the only one who actually appreciates the feeling of DOMS?
When it's not too painfull yes.
For new comers DOMS can be very annoying.
I still remember being a week in pain lol and that was over a year ago
I dont think you want the doms i had, after setting my foot in the gym, for the first time at age 37
Sqaut killed me legs, and had me almost quit. Im going on 4 months though, and a little soreness now the day after is fine, but i dont want to relive the pain at that first 14 days in the gym
Depends, the time i could not do anything but sit in bed because i tried to do 150 pushups the day before? Not fun.
The day after feeling a little sore? Good indicator and makes me feel relaxed.
how could he call our triangle bro as picturefat ? 😒
Before I go back? I never left for the last 5 years...
How is it to be trapped there?
PUT THE PHONE DOWN AND STOP TAKING UP GYM SPACES WITH IT
Call me The Fat Man! 😆🇺🇲💪
Am i the only one who likes DOMS? i mean it feels good its a good pain
You made a great video my man but unfortunately we should not be encouraging people to stop and think before they go to the gym. They just need to go. No hesitation even for learning about things like doms. Nations who's obesity rates are at 40% don't have time for learning. We are at emergency levels. People just need to do 4 scoops of pre workout and go. If people die oh well.
No the final advice is don't glance in a young women's direction or else you will be posted as a creep on TikTok
Yeah. I started working out again and when I walk around to see if an area is clear and a female is around there. The back of my mind I'm thinking she probably thought I was checking them out, but I'm just checking the area.
picture fit wants me to be bi-curious with my gym partner
Beware the tiktok females.
So now i need a bi-curious partner
First. Shketit.
the gyms changed. now there's people filming themselves with you in the background and if you look then you are going to be seen on these videos when they zoom in to you inthe background.then all the girls wear pants that you can see the whole outline of their ass. so women are scared to go the gym now cos men just stare

Please take it slow everyone! Went back to the gym a few daya ago, after a pathetically long pause. I went too hard on hammer curls on the 2nd day....now I cant straighten out my arms. Baaad tennis elbow. So now I have to rest for a few days 😢
No ego, no rush...take it easy
I mean some of you videos sound pretty legit but this sounds like you used ai or googled all of this
This dude sounds like a hobbit. Probs one of Jeff Nippards friends
yeah lmao i needed this months ago when i got back into it. i started throwing around the weight i use to and my arms couldn’t extend fully the next day😂 i would have constant muscle spasm because they were so tense…lasted about a week🥲
