Forum: Motivation

Hi there! I'm looking for cool podcasts to get me in the mood during workouts. Kindly share your preferences. Thanks.

First time for everything right? Ive been working out for over a year now and figured it was time to share my story with others to help out someone who needs it. Its a long story but its my story that changed my life. 2012, i was well over weight and unhappy. Through my college years, all i did was...

Long time lurker first post. Anyway after around 6 years of lifting my current maxes are around 225 bench, 315 squat and 420 deadlift with a bf of at least mid 20's. I feel I have wasted so much time program hopping and neglecting nutrition and could have reached these numbers so much quicker....

This is the 2nd time I've put on weight. The first time I kicked my ass back into gear but this time around I'm having trouble getting motivated. Plus I haven't been able to stay on track well with my diet and I need too. It's like I'm watching myself put on weight and not stopping it. Has anyone...

Do you want that snack you craved for a fw minutes or that body you craved for years i know i saw it here recently and i want to set it as my phone background for motivation whenever i get a snack craving

three and a half years ago my brother had come home from the Marine Corps. For good, no more tours in iraq, no more stress, nothin. he got me from lookin like this to lookin like this. http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/131333_139981076148681_776498940_o.jpg ...

Check it out. ww w.4gp.tw/b039/14115 15888159.jpg Sorry for the **** quality. Looks like I could give birth to twins and not feel a thing. Feelsbad. So, is there anything that can be done here? I know I still have some love handles but it's pretty obvious that the hip bone itself is freaking...

I have been hard at it recently. From this last spring up until now I have been doing my best to eat 6 meals a day, and workout 4-5 times a week. I still barely weigh 143lb! I want to reach 155lb by next spring, but at this rate it won't happen. I know I need to eat more, which I will do, you...

Im still not very happy with my body. I have some fat, but i bust my ass im that gym. I started lifting in 8th grade, eating whatever i want. I put on muscle, i kept lifting, and i became stronger and bigger. It is now two years later, and i am so much stronger. Im hitting personal bests i never...

any of you brahs get ancy to lift after resting for 2 days?

So this is my first post, forgive me if it's not very well put. :) I weigh in at 280, something like 35% BF at 6'1", 26 years old. Yeah, just starting out. My questions concern my work scheduling. I work 12 hour days, 3 or 4 days a week, not including overtime. I would consider my job above...

Got a good deal of motivation this weekend. I fit so much better into a costume I wear to LARP.(yeah I'm a geek.) On top of that, I completely dominated in the hand to hand combat. I can actually feel a difference. :)

I just learned about Dick Hoyt the other day and was blown away by his story. I searched the forum and nothing came up for this, and I'm looking for more reading material. What are some books or stories that have motivated you (in any life area, not necessarily just fitness or bodybuilding).

I was browsing today when I ran across this video. The man was a war veteran and needed some motivation in his life, and someone to believe in him. It was one of the most impressive things I have seen, and he did it in 10 months! ...

If I were to ask you what your habits are, you could probably tell me a number of things you know are your bad habits. You might tell me that you smoke, over eat at night, and automatically shout at people who drive badly. What would you find if you looked deeper? We know that we are creatures...

In Norway we celebrate that we finished the gymnasium, and this celebration lasts for 20 days-ish. There will be alcohol-consumption atleast 2-3 days a week, and i will not be able to eat like a boss. (since there aint no food-sales places at the party locations, i end up eating whatever i get my...

Hello everybody, first time posting so I don't know if this is the right thread to do so. I am 26 years old and for the past 3 years I have been a couch potato. Since the last week it has hit me that I need to get back into shape and start eating healthy again. I have a normal build body but I do...

I don't know if it's stress (new job after 8 years) or bad sleep (I've been tossing / turning a bunch) but for some reason I used to be able to dumb bell flat bench ~70 / 75 lbs in each hand. Now I'm lucky if I can get 4-6 reps of 45 lbs in each hand. I don't know why but the problem is my right...

I've felt this way for about 8 yrs now. Its taxing on me. For whatever reason, I guess im naturally negative, slightly angry, and or depressed. I find it mentally and physically exhausting to think, act, and be happy or positive; it tires me out and puts more stress on me opposed to simply...

Most of us by now know that golden rules of overall fitness. Drink water, sleep, eat high protein within frequent meals, and combine weight training with traditional "cardio". We've also learned more specific rules for cutting fat (carb control, HIIT, etc) and building mass (lifting heavy,...

Like other people, I'm curious about what motivates other people. I'm curious from a sociological view and I'm always looking for new ways to keep myself going; figured this might help some share and learn from others. (no particular order) - Top 10 would be easier, but prob get too lengthy ...
