Well... I was curious what everybody does for motivation. I have tried many things, and the sign below has been hanging on my door for quite some time. Its pretty much the first thing I see every morning when I get outta bed.

hahaha Nice sign!
I just think of what it'd be like to be bigger/stronger etc, and watch Rocky IV, that does it for me!

LoL nice sign! I use mental motivation to help me through my workouts. I think of how much I have grown and what I will look like when I'm older. On the other hand, I listen to music when I do cardio.

I'ma make a few when I get some time ...
"NO PAIN - NO GAIN!" (above my bed, so when I wake up sore!!! I know what I'm doing)
"LIFT YOU FAT ****!" (to remind me everytime I walk out to do cardio, I'm fat and I need to do something about it)
"HEY BUDDY! LIGHT WEIGHT!" (ain't nuttin' too heavy!)
"AIN'T NUTTIN' BUT A PEANUT!" (damn right it ain't!, COLEMAN style)Admin @ Iron Mass [dot] com

i have a few
"Wake up. Walk to the bathroom. Look in the mirror. What do you see? I see another chance, another 24 hours to get it right, another chance to win the day. So there you have it… 24 chances with every new day. What a gift. Stop stalling. It never gets any easier. The weight never magically gets lighter. Cardio never gets easier. Dieting never gets fun and you will never be big enough. That's not the point. Those are all good things. That's what makes membership to the club so special. If it was easy, what would make it special? That's the reason you carry yourself as a warrior, a champion. You have pride because "glory belongs to the one who runs when there is no race". Your time is this minute, this day, this week. So keep running even if there is no race. THE CLOCK IS TICKING. STAND UP NOW. ATTACK NOW. DESTROY NOW."Bryan

JUST DO IT! & SHUT UP AND TRAIN!
Just do it works best for me, even though I feel like **** and I have all this negativity about doing it I just do it. It's less painful and I know I won't have to feel even worse later on. That's my best weapon agaisn't procastination.Pyramid Paradigm?

For over a year I had so much motivation to lift and eat. Then I stopped visiting this site and I lost my motivation. I lost some 18 lbs by doing so. Now that I just came back, I feel the motivation coming back too.
So my motivation is obviously Arnold's movie "Pumping Iron".

"No such thing as tough. Either you're trained or you're untrained."
A king may move a man, a father may claim a son. But remember that, even when those who move you be kings or men of power, your soul is in your keeping alone. When you stand before God you cannot say "but I was told by others to do thus" or that "virtue was not convenient at the time." This will not suffice. Remember that.
