    Real motivation comes from within.

    External motivation is usually a cookie or threats. They don't work very well in the long term.

    @jordanconroy23 how many calories are you consuming at the moment? Do you understand macros? What kind of weight training are you doing? Can share things my husband did/does, but need to know how much you know/where you’re at

    You’ll probably get better advice on the gaining weight board, but I can help a bit!

    If you’re confident with form, go for free weights rather than machines so you train more muscles at once. Machines are great at tweaking individual muscles once you’re almost where you want to be.

    Also remember to increase the weight you’re lifting. The last rep of a set should be doable but difficult. If it doesn’t feel hard to do, add weight.

    Do you cycle between bulking and cutting? My husband will eat around 4000-5000kcal a day when bulking, and drop to around 1500 when cutting. He lifts heavy though, so I’d aim below those amounts, but more than you’re eating now.

    You won’t gain very quickly at 2500kcal whilst training as a man, especially if you’re on the taller side. I’d guess you might not be eating enough, especially if you’re feeling lagged.

    Giving muscles a chance to rest is also really important. Rotate muscle groups and don’t skip out on rest days - you’ll delay rather than speed up progress.

    MFP will suggest you set your macros at 50/30/20 (carbs/protein/fat) but husband is of the opinion that 35/35/30 gives him more success. Don’t skimp on protein, it makes a huge difference.

    You might find it helps to avoid xenoestrogenic foods as they can trick your body into increasing oestrogen levels, which can mess with gains. When you’re eating a large amount of food, these can become a problem when they wouldn’t in small amounts.

    Try rowing or exercise bike with higher resistance for cardio?

    And for motivation, find music that gets you really, really pumped and play it loud. Channel frustration and get in the zone!
