It had pictures with quotes. It was along the lines of people like buddha and others. I can't remember the name of it nd cant find it again, anyone?

“A Beginner’s Diary” was published in Bodybuilding Brazil in 2008 and reports the preparation of a young athlete that decides to compete for the first time. Composed of short texts, “A Beginner’s Diary” is an incentive for people who decide to do physical exercise and for future bodybuilders. We...

First of all Count this a disclaimer ** This is not a motivational post, but instead an admission of a struggle for motivation ** I started out at 270 LBS in November of 09 at 30% body fat! I cut to 195 @ 13.0. Unfortunately, I got so excited that I started getting extreme, and eating...

I’m writing this, since I just got back from the doctor with bad news. He told me I have mono and to take off lifting for six weeks. So November 1st is when I'm supposed to get back into the lifting! I was thinking it wasn't the biggest deal of the world, since I think I can handle withdrawal for...

I had a pec strain a while back and let it heal up then just recently 2-3 weeks ago I strained my tricep from not properly warming up. The only good to come from these strains is I was taking 10-15minutes before and after my workouts stretching and warming up and realizing how important it is to do...

Well I must have one of those weird body types. I've tried to guess endo-meso but i'm not really sure. It seems that I either have to be huge and bulky, or small and skinny fat with moobs. My biggest problem is this. My bench absolutely flew up the first 6-8 months in the gym. Every other...

Hey guys I've been on and off these forums for over a year and everytime I say that I want to make a change...I always start out super motivated. But over the weeks, that motivaton ALWAYS fades. I am about 5'10" and about 183lbs. Not crazy overweight but i'll say that when I went into...

Im absolutely loving it.. This year i have joined a gym (about 2 months ago, after lifting for 12 @ home) Im liking meeting new people who are kool to chat to and like fitness also im liking the results im liking the eating of different foods and knowing im fueling my body with great...

Well start of week three on my new routine and today was HELL. Pushed through it though and the feeling of almost throwing up and knowing I still managed my routine makes it all the more worth while! Now to just hope my arms don't drop off! LOL!

On Thanksgiving 2008 I fell down a flight of stairs. Ruptured 3 disks, broke s1 into 5 pieces, had surgery. Yesterday, I felt motivated and pissed off. Squatted for 1st time since. Felt great! Thank God! I thought I was done with squatting forever as it turns out it can only keep me down....

Hey guys, were you treated differently when you first joined your gym?

Background: almost 48 years old, have lost almost 20 pounds since mid-May to get down to what was my natural weight in college, joined the gym in August, started running, and have been doing small group personal training for the past three weeks twice a week, learning how to lift (mostly) free...

So I'm doing Starting Strength where you have to progress each session. Today had to be one of the most crappiest workouts I ever had, absolutely no focus, no intensity and my performance was pathetic compared to other workouts even though I tried my best. And on top of that I couldn't even get...

We hear alot about how there are alot of crappy things said to alot of us trying to either Bulk or Cut trying to discourage us. ENOUGH OF THAT!!! What are some of the best compliments you've heard from what you have been doing??!! I have 2 since I started on my Bulk 4 weeks ago. Today I was...

Well today really sucked. It was just one of those days where i really didnt feel like going to school and i just slept the majority of the time. I needed to workout and i kept putting it off. I just feel like all my eating better than i used to is pointless and im unsure of my workouts, and what i...

I know im really behind the times but i just saw pumping iron for the first time. As far as motivation goes, the only thing better are the workout sequences in the rocky movies. which do you think is a better motivator?

Does girls start to like you when you get in shape? Whether you were underweighted or overweighted. Does it increase your motivation?
