It's happened to all of us at one time or another. You started off really excited about your weight training / exercise regimen. You'd go to the gym faithfully for days, weeks, months, even years, and then somehow... you don't know how or when, but you just lost the motivation. Your drive to get to the gym fizzled like a dying flame. Although the desire to get out and exercise was still faint within you, something seemingly insurmountable was keeping you trapped in a never ending spiral of non-activity. This is what happened to me last year (2006). I never thought it would happen to me. I've seen it happen to my friends and family, but I never thought I'd have problems staying motivated. I've been consistently weight training since I was 17 years old. By the time I'd reached this 'slump', I'd been weight training for almost 22 years. I used to say to myself, 'Man, I'll never quit! I'll lift forever! It's in my blood!"
