Forum: Motivation

So I’ve been lifting weights on and off since I was about 20 years old. I’m now 30. I’ve never really taking it too serious with a program and real progression on all my lifts. I’ve literally lifted with improper training over the last decade off and on. Probably a total of 3 years or so...

I’m 29, I’ve been bodybuilding for the past 5 years and had a freak accident in the gym which led to a broken neck. For those who’re curious it was caused by a machine failure and I had a 315lb smith machine bar fall on my C5; but I’ve recovered to the best of my ability now I’m just trying to...

My biggest compliment was from guy, who I was talking before a concert... We were chating, he mentioned that he served at the military for a short period of time. He unexpectedly asked: "And were do you belong?" I didn't get it how does he mean, so I asked back. He said: "Where do you...

Hello everyone my name is Alex Tyer. I'm a 18 year old 300LB teen who has struggled with obesity my whole life. I won't try and hide the fact that I brought the struggle upon myself. I've gone through health phases and wrestled all through highschool and picked up some horrible habits along the...

https://imgur.com/a/fd37OXH I’ve been lifting for a little over a year now and have been cutting for a few months now. I’m noticeable smaller and everyone at work says so but I feel like I’m losing more muscle then just fat. I’ve lost 5 lbs in a couple months and taking the slow approach but still...

Hi All, With varying degrees of attempts, I've joined the gym but I've found my progress to be somewhat stagnant. I've noticed some positive changes (Lifts gone up) yet I struggle to keep a routine and have missed scheduled sessions by being just generally lost for motivation. Bit of recent...

I just have to share my excitment! I've gained so much strength in these last few months. I've only been really lifting since since March 2018. And around November last year I for some reason started stalling. And i was also eating way too much, was dirty bulking for some reason. I was 190lbs at...

Hi all, I like to have fun and connect with people but I also like to look good and train with a lot of seriousness seeing as bodybuilding is also an emotional outlet for me. With all that said, I need a gym buddy who I can connect with so that we can motivate one another, someone serious...

Hey, My name is Sam, I'm 16 years old, I'm from Australia. I've always been the chubby kid but in 2017 I underwent a massive weight-loss journey and lost 15kg. But then over the next year I put it all back on. Yes I did grow another foot, but I was starting to look like my old-self again. For...

Seriously, what got you started and what originally motivated you to start left weights? Do you ever look around the gym at the other brahs lifting and wonder if anyone has a similar story? When I was a freshman in high school I was tall and skinny as hell. I took the weight training elective,...
