It’s been said that you shouldn’t rely on motivation, but rather discipline, because motivation is fleeting, and being disciplined will keep you on top of your game even when motivation is lacking.
I agree with this statement, and often times you will find that starting doesn’t come from motivation, but rather motivation comes after you start.

Except in reality, I most likely just ended up spinning my wheels for a long time.
I train in a garage gym, and I really like that this doesn’t take up a huge amount of space, and is also very easy to move around as long as there aren’t any plates stacked anywhere on it.
I have only owned and used this weight bench for a few months at the time of this writing, which isn’t a significant amount of time. But up until this point the fabric on the padding as well as the cushioning inside is holding up well.
