Forum: Motivation

Hey All! Long story short, this all started four years ago when I used NROLFW to drop from 250 lbs to 190. That took about a year and a half, and i got lazy. Now I am ready to finish the other half. Question is... While I know I have the willingness to do the things I need to do, I am at...

Has anyone bought access to the Steve Cook's new site swoldiernation.com? stevecookhealth.com was awesome and Im hoping the new one is even better.

Basically iv been following a diet aimed at adding mass and going to the gym its been just over 5 weeks iv seen zero strength improvement stuck at 60KG bench 120KG squats and 20KG dumbells is it normal to be stuck on the same weights for weeks and no matter what you just cant add any weight? if you...

no ones born a champion. everyone starts off as average. u got one life u might as well go for something u love even if its bodybuilding or soccer or anything. go for it until the end and be something in this world so after u die people look back and say " yea ur greatgranpa was this or that"...

Okay so recently I've forced myself to stop cutting because I'm pretty light now at 160lbs/13%bf and to be honest I have a pretty big frame (huge ribs etc) so being so skinny just looks disproportionate and silly. Problem is while I love the reprieve my bulk gives me I'm only 4 weeks in and I'm...

I read a lot about people improving and that's always a wonderful thing. But, at some point or another, don't you ever just become happy with how you look and how strong you are? I have to say 8 months after my first pregnancy and right before this one I was 100% content. Didn't feel the need to...

Over the years as I have tried to help people lose weight/get in shape I have learned that motivation is at best temporary. The old saying "you can lead a horse to water" is about as solid of a statement as you can get. The challenge is not physical but mental. God has given us an amazing body...

I think it's because the nutrition, but I've been training for the last 6 months and now I feel like i'm stuck. I'm looking for mass. my weight is 185 lbs and my height is 186 cm. What am I supposed to eat to get more mass? I eat 160-170 grams protein each day, but still, cant see any progress....

Hi Everyone, My friend Kornelia Pietrzyk is going to compete in Bikini at IFBB World's Fitness Championship in Canada this autumn. Unfortunately her income isn't that high to cover expenses for travel and accommodation there. It's a shame if she would not compete only for this reason, because...

Hello everyone. A little backstory to my situation. I was never a gym rat and only went like once a week and every since I dislocated my shoulder back in March '13 I never went to the gym and I jumped from 165 to 185 in a year. I finally had surgery to fix this problem in Jan and I started heading...

The first 8-9 months I saw pretty decent improvements, mainly in strength, not in the mirror. A few months ago I hit a wall almost, and today during my workout it really hit me as I was thinking about it the whole time at the gym. So I'm a pretty short guy, I used to be 275 pounds (like Veruca...

I was wondering if there is anybody who is inline with my line of thought. I started lifting 6 months back, it makes me tremendously happy, I have lost interest in partying, meeting friends and even dating women, all I think of is my diet, my workout, supplements, youtube bodybuilding channels and...

Hi I am new here and pardon for my English as I am a foreigner. I am a low self-esteem guy who is very scared, nervous, feel embarrass to go to gym ESPECIALLY when the gym is crowded and full of fit guys in the free weight area. I know this is a common problem for all the gym novice. But I just...

How come women get their own gyms? It's way too distracting for me with all those women in tight yoga pants and all dolled up and everything. And also seeing one with more muscle than me. I'm asking a serious question, I'm not trying to troll, honest. If I were a girl, I would either go to a...

So what is the hardest part of building muscle? Is it maintaining a healthy diet? The work-outs? Consistency? Staying motivated? Finding the time to work-out/eat? Obviously the answers will vary but I just started "bulking" about 2 weeks ago and I wanted a general idea of what you guys think.

My dilemma is I've been training for almost two years religiously and before I started weight training I have had prior shoulder dislocation on my left shoulder. It still happens every now and again but since my muscles got dense and have barley any fat on my body it's easier to recover from it. I...
