Forum: Motivation

I don't really know how this motivational forum can help me but I really need some kind of motivation. I just can't seem to overcome my fear of failure, and when I try to change my lifestyle so drastically, every day my subconcious is fighting the change and trying to force me back into my old...

Finally hit 405 Bench. Posted in misc, but wanted to post here also. Around 5 years in the making. Hit 405 with extremely bad form 5 years ago(ass 2 ft in the air). Also good motivation for anyone who's skinny looking to bulk. 10 years ago I weighed 135 lbs 6 ft tall and benched 135. Today I...

The thread title speaks for itself. I recently discovered I have Crohn's Disease and have had 3 flare ups since June, resulting in several bowel obstructions requiring 2 surgeries and the removal of 3 feet of my small intestine. Been in and out of the hospital for exactly 86 days since June 10th...

Do you know what you get from lifting heavy weights? I don't think you do. Otherwise you wouldn't be questioning why the **** you're doing this right now. You would be doing everything in your power to make sure you increase that weight the next time you work out. Are you familiar with the...

I have no problem finding motivation, no problem in working out and sticking to a diet. I'm not at my goal but I'm pretty close. The only thing that bugs me is probably having too much knowledge. My brain likes taking something and turning it extremely negative. For example, I'm naturally...

Its kinda gotten me down. I've been consistent in my efforts in hitting the gym, but I've wasted time doing sub par workout routines and having a crappy diet. I just recently remedied this. I'm going to keep a track of my weights and concentrate on the basics now. Its just unsettling that it...

my current motivation is the fact that i am graduating this year and want to look HOT in my grad dress :)

Finding it hard to find motivation, I recently broke up with this girl who really dragged me through the works man. Really ****ed my head up and caused me to doubt myself and everything. Long story short, We made plans together she then started working with her Ex and then a few weeks later, I was...

On the subject of building muscle fast, what would it be? I'm losing the motivation to hunt down bits of information all over the internet and learning bits at a time. Don't look down if you don't want to deal with a problem.

I'm looking for new music to listen to while i work out. I've personally found that words in almost every song ruin the environment so please. NO SINGING. I'm looking for drums and guitars and bases mostly, but any instrument can make an appearance. I want something interesting but Not painful...

Currently I exercise every time I get the energy and go for a few days in a row till I need a rest then I stop and end up waiting about a week or two then repeat. How can I stick to a daily thing?

I'm 22 and still living at my dad's and I really hate him. My sister is psycho and keeps hating me for no reason saying I'm just like him even though I've always tried to do right by her. I'm working at a business my dad owns and I feel incapable of holding down another job because of my anxiety or...

I've reached a healthy weight (according to bmi). Losing any more would just be for aesthetics, which I do want, don't get me wrong but lately I just find it hard to give a ****. I eat less and exercise a few times a week almost instinctively now but when it comes to counting calories and...

Way back when, when my journey into weightlifting started, I have always been wanting to put up the 100lb dumbbells on flat bench which is the highest our gym has. When I started I could barely handle the 45's. I remember some dude asked me to spot him while he did decline with the 100lb dumbbells...

And try to keep it clean in the nutrition department? I hit the gym but potato chips and sweets are hard to resist this time of year.
