I've been lifting for about a decade and my favourite exercises have always been front and back squats. 5 months ago I ended my gym membership and installed a rack in my garage a few weeks ago. Since then, I find myself not motivated to squat. I however am still motivated to do my other lifts (bench, deadlift, row, shoulder press). Has anyone else experienced a loss in motivation for their favourite exercise? If so, how did you re-motivate yourself?
I don't think it has been because I took several months out from the gym. In the past, I have stopped going to the gym for months at a time to play other sports.

I'd do the ones you like for a couple of weeks to get back into the groove of lifting and then resume squatting. I've never lost enthusiasm for a lift that I've come to enjoy on the long term but squats can be daunting.
Bench: 315
Squat: 335
Deadlift: 475
