Forum: Motivation

So my pro pic "was" in my prime about a little over 2 months ago. Lately I find myself not motoed for the gym and my diet has sucked ass. I have even been drinking on the weekends heavily and unfortunately i eat the hell out of food when I drink. Ive gained 10 pounds and idk how to re-motivate...

Hello... I was just wondering what all people use to put on there skin to make their muscles shine for photos and such? I am getting into fitness photography and looking for some info....Please list what you've used and how you liked it(photos would be great too) thanks

Please, those of you with experience only. My 22mo old is having outrageous fits in the childcare at the gym, this is his third gym. He behaved the same way at the first place but LOVED the second place. The difference: the happy gym would have only a couple kids there at any given time; whereas...

As a coach, it’s a great feeling to solve the fitness motivation puzzle for an individual athlete. Some will thrive on competition with peers while others may need a consequence or reward to maintain their focus. But no matter what, an individual’s motivation is as unique as their personality....

I'm 6'1" 175. Body fat is roughly 10%-15% at the high end. Wide shoulders, long/lanky build. I guess you could say I'm a hard gainer, but I did experience strong results in 2010 when I was working out seriously. Anyway, I had a trainer tell me today that I would look awesome at 200 and said that...

I've been making good progress, but I recently blew my knee. VERY depressed, no more football, hockey, work, etc. All of my progress is gonna go down the drain. How do I keep my head up :(

Was trying to motivate myself before lifting and started thinking about how far I have came to get where I am now, so I scribbled this down. If you want to listen to a instrumental while reading I wrote it listening to this: Os2rHVsbn6E The beginning of my life was filled with nothing but...

Seeing all the huge body builders is great, but nothing gets me more motivated than seeing people like YOU who transformed their body! How did it impact your daily life & attitude?

Hey guys, Ive been on a serious cut since last October, I managed to go from about 275 to around 208ish now. Last month I injured my back and was out of the gym and work for 3 weeks. Its hard to get back into it. Motivate me please, videos, articles, whatever. I just need a little push back...

Ok guys heres the deal. Since October Ive lost 50lbs of fat, Its really starting to impact me in so many different ways, I love it. Ive had to buy all new clothes and im seeing definition all over my body. Up until 2 weeks ago you couldnt keep me away from the gym or my eating routine, there were...

This is my transformation from 14-16 years old where I lost 65 pounds and now looking to step on stage and compete but still helping others and inspiring them to do things in their life that they want to do not what their parents friends or family what them to do! Check it out here and if you...

Almost at the goal which is 3x my bodyweight on the deadlifts. Slowly making progress, the goal is to have a 1000 total at 132 bodyweight, the numbers are rising smoothly. I cant post the link because, since im still new here i need to hit 50 post before being able to post a link or image in my...

Give your best tips on hardcore rock/metal music for training, that really makes you going? Somehow like breaking point - one of a kind or something like that :) Thanks for all answers.

Hey guys, Three years ago I took a look in the mirror and said enough is enough.I had ballooned to 22 stone and was at my lowest eb. I had visions of my training Sergeant from my army days giving me stick for how much I let myself go. So I picked myself up,dragged myself to the gym and over...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kl2YXLTdrfc idk if it's showing up, I thought I followed the instructions :( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kl2YXLTdrfc I'm happy now :D

I posted this in the misc but somebody recommended I post it up here. This is me about 3 years ago weighing in at a whopping 150 lbs. The second pic is me now at about 205-210 (It was taken a couple months ago but because of school and being busy I still look pretty much the same) Hopefully...

it's says something like "i take your girl" and a bunch of other lines like that. sorry thats all i can remember but its a sweet pic. thanks

This is something I believe that most anyone can relate to, you get out of a relationship and you get all those negative feelings. So what do you do next? You hit the gym and work on yourself and your self image. My question is, what should I do once that motivation goes away? This may sound...

Hey guys, so the past few months I have really strayed from watching what I eat in the way I used to. I was really fat as a teenager and started getting into eating healthy and working out about 4 years ago. This summer was probably the leannest I've ever been due to training for a jiu jitsu...

Hey everyone, I'm going on a weeklong trip to Austria for spring break in 3 weeks which I am really excited about! My problem is I get pretty obsessive about what I eat and am not good at moderation (I've had problems with binge eating). When I am in my usual routine weightlifting and working...

Hey guys, I've been healthy and working out for a while now (about 3 years), but I haven't been consistent and strict enough to build the body that I could have. Now, for my new year's resolution I'm gonna take my body to the next level. I'm new to bodyspace, so no friends yet, but it'd be great if...

So basically for the last few years since moving to Qatar I have been training on and off in my own in a home gym at the compound, not a whole bunch of kit but DB's BB's bench etc it has been doing the job and helping to keep me in pretty good shape without making any major gains. Recently a new...

When the New Year comes around, many of us make the resolution to lose weight. We go on the latest fad diet and join a gym. But after just a few days, we find ourselves struggling to stick to our weight loss program. This usually happens because we start to lose our motivation to lose weight. Admit...
