"Nothing worth doing is easy"
It's all in my sig. It's how I try to live as a firefighter and a soldier, I am both.
Forget no friend. Fear no foe. (I have that tattooed)
Sure you can cheat out on your cardio, it'll just make it easier for me to wipe the floor with you in sparring. (I said that to one of my training partners and he got really fired up so I remembered it).
Train hard, Fight easy.
Citius Altius Fortius.
It ain't over till it's over. -Rocky.
Ultimately we're all dead men. Sadly we cannot choose how, but we can decide how we meet that end in order that we are remembered as men. -Proximo. Gladiator.
Haven't seen this one up yet, really like it though. If its' a repost sorry.
"You cannot dream yourself into a character: you
must hammer and forge yourself into one." - Thoreau
The only easy day was yesterday.
I think its a navy seal slogan
I can't stand people who whing and b**ch about not being able to
Lose weight, Build Muscle, get healthy etc...Or they complain about
not having enough time to Workout, Prepare meals, Shop for healthy
foods, Workout a plan that works for them....
Nobody has the time to do any of this..Not even me..but what seperates
us from the rest is we are willing to sacrifice our time for what we love.
The feeling you get after a big workout where you have just hit a 1 rep max
on your squat, or pumped out more reps than you ever have before..This is
the feeling we all strive for..To know we have pushed our body to its
extreme limits and knowing that next week this workout wouldnt matter...
Its all about your next workout...Thats all that matters..
While you eat your chips and chocolates and then make some pathetic attempt
to go for a walk and then eat oily food afterwards, we are busy preparing meals with
healthy carbs, healthy fats, and more protein than you will eat in 1 day...Not because we want
to, but because it is who we are...
This is what will seperate us from the average!!!!
"Mirrors dont show progress, they just show how much work is left to do"

Wow, I love this quote!

"Don't be a pussy."

bhaahhahaa wicked
Just picked up a great book about the history of the SEALs (I'm a huge military non-fiction nerd). While their entire creed is inspiring this one paragraph really resonates with me:
I will never quit. I persevere and thrive on adversity. My Nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down, I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.
Just something about that last line "I am never out of the fight". . .convince and prove this to yourself, and train to reach it.
With ordinary talent and extraordinary perseverance all things are attainable.
People say the sky is the limit. Those people must of forgotton we put a man on the moon. The limit is what you make of it.
If you think, you are late. If you are late, you use strength. If you use strength, you tire. And if you tire, you die!?
Saulo Ribeiro.
one my all time favorites!
Sorry if any of these happen to be re-posts but here are some great quotes (imo). Some may require a little more thinking, but others are to the point. Enjoy.
"The Iron is the best antidepressant I have ever found. There is no better way to fight weakness than with strength. Once the mind and body have been awakened to their true potential, it's impossible to turn back." - Henry Rollins
"Limitations are set in the limited mind"
"Rule #76: No excuses, play like a champion." - Wedding Crashers

"The ideals we pursue determine who we are and what we will become" - Stephen Alonzo Jackson (Kappa Sigma)
"Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want" - Dan Stanford
"Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around" - Vanilla Sky
"And i'll tell ya something else, that you aint dying enough to know. There's still some livin left after your prime comes and goes"
"Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do." - Pele
"You guys have a lot of potential. You know what potential is?... It's a 9 inch dick that can't get hard." - Anonymous Football Coach
"As you know madness is like gravity, all it needs is a little push" - The Joker
The next couple quotes are from Jeff Buckley, a very inspirational musician with some great words.
"Be the best. No negativity, no weakness, no acquiescence to fear or disaster, no errors of ignorance, no evasion from reality." - JB
"Your task is to claim responsibility for your own perfection" - JB
"Fear is an exit sign. Fear is just a door... Either to transformation, or enlightenment to a tragic illusion you have." - JB
"The most audacious thing I could possibly state in this day and age is that life is worth living. It's worth being bashed against. It's worth getting scarred by. It's worth pouring yourself over every one of it's hot coals."- JB
Annnnndddddd, my signature by Mr. Ronnie Coleman
These are great. Have gotten a lot out of reading this thread! What a way to begin.
"Action is the difference between wishful thinking and realized success"
Great Quotes, here are some of mine:
"Dynamite comes in small packages."
"You must do the thing which you think you cannot do."
"The bigger the challenge, the greater the oppurtunity."
"I have not failed, I have found 10,000 ways that won't work." -Thomas Edison
"Cherish forever what makes you unique, 'CUZ you're realy a YAWN if it goes."
Mine wasn't really a "quote" per say. But it was a girl telling me i was too fat.
John F Kennedy is very amazing. Like what my friend said put his speech before a AMP song and you would be destrying everything.
Change is the law of life. And those who look only to
the past or the present are certain to miss the future.
John F. Kennedy
Laughter
"There are three things in life which are real:
God, human folly and laughter. Since the first
two are beyond our comprehension,
we must do what we can with the third."
And this is the the quote that really just amped me up. When it comes to goal, I dont settle for less, I set is high as my mind can imagine it.
"We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win,"
Yes!! We set high standard goals not because its easy, because its hard, and its a challenge we refuse to lose!!
This is the most motivational thing I have ever seen in my life and is proof as to this communities' toughness. I am not sure of the exact injuries sustained by this individual but he had half of his face shot off in a fire fight. He is a member of the US Navy SEALs and wrote a sign that he stuck to his door to his room in the hospital. It reads:
"Attention to all who enter here. If you are coming into this room with sorrow or to feel sorry for my wounds, go elsewhere. The wounds I received I got doing a job I love, doing it for people I love, supporting the freedom of a country I deeply love. I am incredibly tough and will make a full recovery. What is full? That is the utmost physically my body has the ability to recover. Then I will push that about 20% further through sheer mental tenacity. This room you are about to enter is a room of fun, optimism, and intense rapid re-growth. If you are not prepared for that, go elsewhere."
On days where I don't feel like tearing up the gym or I feel like I cannot go any harder or push myself any more, thinking of this has a way to get that last rep or that last 100 yds (and so on) out of me.
see sig
"fear has killed more men then death itself. death only kills you once, where as fear kills you over and over again"

I absoloutley LOVE that movie!
My favourite quote right now is from the song 'Tubthumping' by Chumbawamba. I never liked the song when it was released a decade ago, but watching Forrest Griffin come out to it after having been fallen by Anderson Silva gave me goosebumps. He knew he'd been beat but now he's back and walking down to the Octagon to smash through Ortiz.
"I get knocked down, but I get up again. You're never going to keep me down."
When you are feeling down and out,
and the weight of the world is on your shoulders,
Smile, Throw on some 45's and squat that sh*t
