just think about what you want to look like, and how nothing will stop you from getting there.

Set some short term goals like raiseing your max for that lift and set it where you can see it while you do that lift put posters up of what you wanna look like, think of each rep as hitting someone you don't like as hard as you can.

I just think of everyone telling me how skinny I am, that's plenty of motivation.

I dont even think during a set. thinking is the root of all evil.

for last reps (also for eating) i struggle to get the last few bites/reps in through thinking one thing... when u look at a picture in ur head or wherever of what u want to look like, i think if i dont do this (the last rep/finish the meal) i wont look like that
maybe kinda strange but thats what drives me
also watching a workout vid of somebody id like to be like gets me in the mood for the gym

"As you know bb'ing takes time, so even though you thought your 60 lbs would be as big as you'd get, now that your there, you realise you can do more. Its a good thing. It keeps you progressing and getting better. Be proud of how far you've come, and from that, be motivated about how much further you can go."
