    well looks like i'm going to stop lifting, **** it

    Is this a troll or attention thread? Those weights aren't going to jump off the bar and attack you and the meat heads in your gym aren't going to take you out back and beat you up because you can't lift as much as them. Stop being a girl (sorry to any girls that take that offensively) and lift some freaking weights. I am not very strong either, but I get stronger with each trip to the weight room.

    I don't know where you got the impression that i'm scared of weights. Stop being such an @$$ hole to people on forums

    I' not, I'm just trying to make you quit being whiney and to hit the weights and get some results. Crying on a forum isn't going to make you stronger.

    ...Yeah, saying, "Stop being a girl," disclaimer or not, is definitely being an *kitten*.

    Ok. You gonna cry with him?

    :yawn:

    Never! You should run and lift at the same time. Both are super awesome and would make you very well rounded.

    I was just running for awhile and have gotten bored with it even though I genuinely enjoy it. Lifting is something I've always been intimidated by but always love doing or think is very cool. I signed up for a great gym and hope to get in there 5 days week to really get my butt in gear. :)

    The only thing I have to contribute to this thread is that "weightlifting" refers to the Olympic sport (the kind with cleans, jerks, and snatches). What you've been doing, OP, probably isn't weightlifting, so you cannot be tired of it.

    I haven't reached that point yet...sounds like you're burnt out doing the same routines. Some changes in your workout program might be helpful.

    fark the haters

    get on a good program for your level and be consistent with it. If you haven't been actually following anything then how can you expect to improve? I believe Berkhan calls it Fu(karounditus :laugh:

    Do a comp of some sort. I do powerlifting and it is VERY motivating when you know you have a deadline to make some new maxes by. Also, strongman comps are awesome fun.

    I have no idea where to get anything. I tried a muscle and fitness program, but i just stopped tracking my weights because the numbers kept going down. So i'll stop all together and get laughed at and just run and become "skinny fat"

    sounds to me like you just want to waste everyone's time and feel sorry for yourself ... and have someone validate your lack of motivation.

    if you hate working out in the gym, then don't do it. sounds more like a commitment issue. there is so much information around and most people in gyms are pretty helpful if you need someone to spot you or learn from.

    You just don't want to make the effort.

    Your choice. there is no right or wrong. but whining about it is a waste of time.

    Yeah, I really don`t like lifting at all. I did all kinds of stuff, 5x5 or Body for life or Me diet. Jade and Keoni Tita. I really like walking. I do not like squatting. I never saw any results and didn`t lose any weight. I guess it`s all underneath. My knees and elbows started to hurt from repetitive strain. Natural movement can be as good. See if you can get your planks up to 5 min. Or just do pushups three times a week. Your chest will be great. Gotta keep movin, so you gotta keep changing things up. Life is not static right.

    So i've been lifting for about the last year. Things were going well, and then all of a sudden.i just stopped caring, i saw some results but i really haven't gotten any new PR's in a long time. The only thing I have been progressing on is Deadlift. I have been running alot recently and I find that I am progressing faster when it comes to running. I don't know, maybe it's just me.

    Thoughts? (Trolls welcome as well, its gonna happen anyway)

    see video!!!

    No, I don't tire of it; however, I know when it is time for a rest. Last week, I had to take a day off... was the best thing I could do. We all need rest...

    I think there might be a waaambulance parked outside waiting for you.

    Seriously dude. You came on here for advice. People gave you a lot of GOOD advice and you're just whining and moaning over said advice. People have given you programs to look at, advice on what to do etc. etc. and all you're doing is turning your nose up at it.

    Don't want to lift? Then don't. But don't come here posting a question and then list all the reasons why the advice given isn't going to work for you.

    I think you're just "having a go" as the Brits say. If you don't like it, don't do it. But then you might not like the results. So, suck it up, or don't. But lifting is the closest thing to magic as you're going to get. *shrug* Your choice.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "magic" nothing is magic

    Now I am not sure if the OP is serious or not.

    Not sure what else any one can say without you coming back with excuses as to why you can't lift weights.

    Don't go to the gym but don't expect to magically get a hard body sitting around on your butt.

    I am serious about tired of lifting weights, i lost 70lbs with the help of weights and cardio. Lately, my lifts have stalled an regressed. SO i feel that i have gone as far as i can and that i should stop. ALSO i never asked for advice. I just wanted to know what people thought about lifting
