Forum: Motivation

I think of a bodybuilding show as a art show . it's a celebration of accomplishment . a day to present to the spectators your work of art . a day to motivate others . a day to show them what is possible with hard work . I of course want to leave the venue as the winner . but just getting to that...

WtoBxdUpntc I'm new here and have decided to reach my goals. No matter how difficult. If I can teach one soul out there that you don't have to lose to your pain & breaking the norm is okay, I'm happy. Let's grow.

Hey all, I'm preparing my whole body for one single date and that's it. The date is September 10th 2015. I'm spending so much time and energy lifting weights and English isn't my first language so I'm studying English for 2-3 hours every day all for the purpose of this one particular date. ...

Guys help, I'm losing motivation! I know it's been asked a lot before and I understand that most girls are into the Brad Pitt Fight Club look but tbh I don't think anyone will notice that look unless you're shirtless. I'm 18 and I'll be starting university in a few months and when I'm trying to...

Hi all, I've taken the plunge and paid for 12 months fitness memebership at my local gym, paid upfront on the basis that I'm tight and if I've paid for it I'll use it! I'm fairly unfit to be honest, could do with losing a couple of stone and have next to no upper body strength.... but...

Hi peeps I've been measuring my gains which has lead to both celebration and disappointment over the last 18 months (yes I guess I'm still a newbie). My aim is to obtain the 'classic' look - I wan't good size but if I can give the illusion of more mass with good muscle definition and form then...

How many months into lifting did you hit your first plateau? What were your lifts before/up to that point, and how fast were you getting the beginner gains? How long did the plateau last, and how did you get out of it? What is your rate of gains (specific lifts) after the plateau? ...

I just realized getting a better body wont do anything. It wont make you happy, it wont get that girl you love so much, it wont get you girls, it'll just get you noticed honestly.

Hi everyone. I'm very new to this site and working out, I only started trying it a little bit this year because my boyfriend is very into it.

New to the lifting scene, here's a few quote's that keeps me fired up and motivated. What do I fear? I fear stagnation and lack of progress. I fear never reaching my potential and being average. I fear being forgotten...The past...Yesterdays news. I fear giving up and being passed by..going...
