Forum: Motivation

In a Chinese modern dance competition on TV one very unique couple won one of the top prizes. The lady, in her 30's, was a dancer who had trained since she was a little girl. Later in life, she lost her entire left arm in an accident and fell into a state of depression for a few years. Someone then...

I think the best way to be motivated is to have a friend to compete with. To out perform each other. Before i moved me and a friend were always showing each other up and if it wasn't correct form it didn't count. now i moved we compare pics and numbers. so its still motivation.

Since im a hip hop artist, I do it to have the best shape when i go out and perform, basically i need to have a good body in order to get the exposure i need.

First of all, I didn't know where to ask this question. But I guess the answer in a way can give me motivation on what parts are good and bad about me. Basically, is there a website you guys know that you can insert you body weight, bf%, measurements(height, thigh, arms, chest, neck, calves,...

Long story short - I tried working out for like 3 months in late 2008, but took the whole thing too seriously so it got very boring and a chore to work out. So I gave up. Now, I've become a skinny-fat slob who eats very unhealthy and never working out. Well 2 weeks ago I decided it's time to...

This is something I made.. this is dedicated to my last girlfriend.. and helps me want to become more healthy... i know its gonan be kind of not really related to body building but it has hints in it and i feel kind of pumped i guess after i read it to myself.. sorry if its reallly long its just my...

I have been dieting and working out for a week and I did not lose a Single POUND! I wanna just give up and eat cupcakes

Anyone know something that can help me supress my hunger, whenever it happens i just drink a ton of water but i still feel hungry. Last night i must of drank a gallon just before i went to bed but i still had that empty feeling. I might just drink a protein shake but that would put me over my...

Junk food hangover doesn't stop me son. Stay in? Fuk you with a cock. Slam down some Superpump250 and go pump some weight? You can bet your narrow ass.

I have a muscle shirt shot flexing which looks much better (In my gallery). However, the front pic, no shirt, and relaxed is motivating my ass to finally get my BF taken care of and to have the body I want. I look like I need to buy the "bro" and my love handles could feed a pack of wolves for a...

Well, I've never been much of a lifter, and wow even after this first week if I'd known then what I know now, I would have started lifting years ago. I can't believe how remarkable I feel just after 1 week. I have energy that I don't usually have without the help of several pick-me-up drinks, but...

I've always been a big fan of thought process vs. technique. With the right thought process you can create your own techniques, but without the wrong thought process the right techniques won't help you. This is a platitude, but it cannot be emphasized enough. Everyone who reads this knows it. But...

The obvious ones being 300, the Rocky series and every movie Arnold ever stared in minus Jingle All the Way. And as far as TV Sons of Anarchy is bad ass, not really motiviational but bad ass and T.U.F. but only the first few seasons. What other movies or TV shows get you pumped and make you...

Here is the before and after comparison(at the end of the video): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MS4M-SLsMC4 It did improve my running capability and I lost weight relatively quick. However I was losing some muscles due to the heavy running causing my testosterone level to drop.

Hey do any of you find yourself not socializing with people at the gym??? I put my headphones on and put my couple of hours in and leave.... my friends think thats odd... WTF!!!

Today I faced adversity?. In an effort to change my life both physically and mentally I have made many sacrifices over the last four months. I have avoided friends, been distant from family and hardest of all stayed away from routine. You see routine, at least in my case, had led me to where I was...

Lost the motivation to get up and do the thing last week. spent three nights in the bars and I'm paying for it this week. finally got my head back on straight now. Just needed to vent a little there.

A little background - I'm 26, I started lifting around 16-17 yrs old and did very well with it until about 2 and a half years ago. My Testosterone started to decline for whatever reason and I was put on HRT (testim). That seemed to bring my progress up a bit more so I hit the weights twice as hard...

man. i must say...ever since i've been taking better care of myself i feel soooo much better. my life has been enhanced by tweaking just a few things. i don't even like over-eating anymore.. keeps me from running that 2 miles everyday after work. and i don't like that, cuz i sleep better after...

A good friend of mine has been lifting weights for years now and looks amazing, he knows that I just started on my journey and he sent me a motivational quote this morning that I want to share: "When you feel like giving up, remember that someone is looking up to you as a role model whether you...

We all use scales and the mirror to track our growth, some with varying degrees of success. The scale can be misleading especially when you have to take in to account bodyfat and varying weights throughout the day. I've found the best way to give myself a bit of a g'up and to actually notice...
