Me: "I don't feel like going to the gym."

'Have you tried just going?'

I'll tell myself I can do the most absolutely abysmal 3 sets of whatever lift, and I can walk out if I'm not feeling it. 99% of the time, I stick it through.

This is my trick. I tell myself to just do something small then I can quit, which always turns into doing it all like normal. But having the option of bailing makes it feel so much better, which makes the suck less sucky.

I hear you can exercise your pecs and triceps by punching someone in the face. If you grab their neck with the other arm, you can get your lats involved too.
