Dude in the gym the other day was missing an entire leg like that (had something like the below) and was massive. He did a quick 135 warm up on bench then just started repping out 315+ for his next set. Looked like he was in the military. Man among men.

Apparently I was only witnessing the warm ups. Tonight he did 415x3, then 455x1 and on Saturday he was OHP 315. Makes me feel like such a bum.

Keep your eyes on YOU. It’s fine to get inspired by others’ physiques, but you have to set your own personal standards. People tend to fixate on their weaknesses, while at the same time obsess over the strengths of others. That’s a surefire way to stay eternally frustrated. It’s a healthier approach to acknowledge your own strengths, and use them as benchmarks by which to bring up your weaknesses. Learn to give yourself a pat on the back for the improvements you make. Keep your eyes on YOU, don’t let the achievements of others dictate your obsessions.

It blows me away every time I walk into a nice home and meet its proud, overweight, out-of-shape owner. They just don’t get it. Your real home is not your apartment or your house or your city or even your country, but your body. It is the only thing you, your soul and your mind, will always live inside of so long as you walk the earth. It is the single most important physical thing in this world you can take care of.

Repost but I can fap to this every time. Love when it says "no one is laughing now."

Any reposts are completely unintentional as I have pages upon pages of motivational stuff I've put up over the last year. My apologies about that, though as I'm not a fan of reposted things over and over.

This video is amazing though. I especially like the "they assumed he miscounted laps" part. Exceeding people's assumptions like a baus.

Jim Wendler's great quote about aesthetics.

What I would prescribe for you is to get rid of all these silly, pathetic and disgusting notions of what you think a man should look like and start over. I’m going to give everyone a huge hint here: no one gives a **** what you look like. Now I’m not saying being a fat slob doesn’t raise some eyebrows in disgust, but if you kick as much ass as possible in the weight room and conditioning field AND start OWNING the **** out of your given “sport” (you better start competing and making your training count), you will not only LOOK better but you will feel better. People are not attracted to vanity – they are attracted to confidence and passion. No one owns a room by the way they look; it’s how they carry themselves.

I'm sure this one is a re-post also, for that I apologize, but it's incredible either way.

Excuses? Yeah, she doesn't even know what that means.

Another Wendler bit I just came across.

The problem with many hypertrophy-based programs is that they leave out the strength component. You might get bigger as a result of the program, but if you don't get any stronger you're still a chump in my book.

That's right, I don't care how big you are, if you aren't strong you're a sham. Having big muscles and no strength is the training equivalent of wearing a strap-on. All show and no go. End of story.

Motivational? Maybe....Awesome? Definitely.

On spread. Mind=Blown. I'd feel real bad if she out lifted me . No offense to any of the guys in the forum who were out lifted. Wait, just had a thought. I'm not sure how I'd do deadlifting that much weight with only one leg. Balancing would be tough. Maybe I was out lifted, lol.

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

Great quote I read this morning after someone had asked Neil deGrasse Tyson, "What can you tell a young man looking for motivation in life itself?"

The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people in life recognize, that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation. For me, I am driven by two main philosophies, know more today about the world than I knew yesterday. And lessen the suffering of others. You’d be surprised how far that gets you.

Sara Koehnke: No Hand, No Problem

Living a healthy lifestyle involves eating a well balanced diet, being well rested, consistently work out, etc. But the MOST important part is the mental attitude! I don’t let people’s criticism hold me back. I run, weight lift, and do everything a 2-handed person can do, but I strive to do it better! I know that ability is self defined - no one can hold me back except for myself!

If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't;
If you'd like to win but you think you can't,
You can almost be certain you won't.
If you think that you'll lose, you are lost,
For out in the world you will find
Success begins with a person's will;
It's all in the state of the mind.
If you think you're outclassed you are;
You've got to think high to rise.
You've just got to be sure of yourself
Before you can win the prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To a stronger or faster man;
But sooner or later the person who wins
Is the person that THINKS they can.

It’s important to not give in at jealousy. When you see someone doing something that you’re not doing and you feel like, ‘I’m not doing that.’ There’s an instinct to protect yourself by bull****ting yourself and becoming jealous and bitter and talking **** about that person. That’s where haters come from. What haters are, 100% of all haters in the world, are unrealized potential.

Perseverance is a positive, active characteristic. It is not idly, passively waiting and hoping for some good thing to happen. It gives us hope by helping us realize that the righteous suffer no failure except in giving up and no longer trying. We must never give up, regardless of temptations, frustrations, disappointments, or discouragements.
