Forum: Motivation

Just a quick thread to try to help motivate any fellow ectomorphs or perpetually skinny guys. I started out at 116 lbs this last November. Approximately 5 months and change later, I'm sitting around 151 lbs, the heaviest and strongest I've ever been in my life. I was always the guy who swore...

For the love of God, I have not been all that enthusiastic or motivated in the least to hit the gym the last 2 weeks. I usually go like 4-5 times a week but these past 2 I have only gone once or twice at best. Why the sudden change in things? Because I wanted to change my workout routine and...

I am in the US Navy, and for anyone that knows what it is like being in the military, then what you may or may not know is that there is quite a large census of the armed forces that actually would like to see others around them fail. They would like to see them fail whether it be: making rank,...

I'm pumped & my motivation is sky high. Cutting at 1500, been reading for awhile so I have a good C, F, & P % balance going - and keeping protien at 150g-165g daily. But man, if dropping some initial weight didn't make me realize how far I really have to go.

I wrote this both for myself, and with the hope that it may help others. I hope it helps. I, like many of you, struggle with doubt. I’ve always been my own biggest critic. I play football for a small but successful college program. Over the last few years I haven’t gotten the...

I've been bulking up for months now and I've been eating pretty damn clean with the ocassional cheats. Enough protein, carbs & fats to fit my macros. I've gained like 5-6 pounds and noticed a decent change in body comp AT FIRST, but I'm starting to think it's all fat I gained from eating so many...

I've been lifting on and off since I was about 18, but I never REALLY commited myself until January 1st this year. I started going to the gym 5 days a week, eating more (and healthier) and taking whey protein and cellucor m5 extreme. I weighed about 155 to start and now I am 170. I am definitely...

I've been working my ass off for the past 3 months and could hardly tell a difference. I mean I look at my pictures and there's a huge difference, but daily looking in the mirror you can't see anything. Today was the first time I can actually see an oblique muscle (since about 3 years) underneath...

Who here has used their gym built strength in life scenarios? I don't mean sports, I mean stuff like defending yourself, pushing your car off the road, being 'that guy' at work that always helps move boxes to peoples' cars and stocks high shelves because you can overhead press it. Basically,...

Who else is body building, or losing weight and being jacked to be a symbol? I've decided a lot of what i do, my daily life, is to be a symbol of excellence, to show others that they can achieve more if they tried. Who else shares this thought?

Written by Arnold Schwarzeneggar I look down on people who are waiting, who are helpless. I like people who think there is more to life than eating or going to the toilet. Ever since I was a child, I would say to myself, "There must be more to life than this," and I found that I didn't want...
