What was your motivation for today?

[wildonsquats]

Was doing the second set of a DC routine for leg press today (5 plates per side <--- pussy yes i know) and during my 15th rep with my face all red, heavy breathing and basically about to passout, i had some guy say, "Dude, that's got to hurt."

I cranked out 5 more reps just to spite him.

 

[louden_swain]

Thats awesome!!!

i barely got any sleep last night, and was super tired after work.....but I was like fuck it, went to the gym, put up more weight for more reps on every exercise I did, AND did cardio to boot.....I thought my arms were going to fall off by the end of it.

then went home and ate and ate and ate and ate......

This DC stuff has me getting stronger more quickly than anything I've ever done it seems.

my anger from the school day drives me every day. every day someone at school gets on my nerves, and i bottle it up til i hit the weights.

 

[kingc_79]

alot of my motivation comes from the posts on this board. look forward to reading the new posts from everyone everyday.

 

[louden_swain]

Everyone on this board motivates me.

 

[DrBones]

THis board motivates me... the people I train with motivate me... Food motivates me... I try to channel any bitter or anger into training... It works awesome....

 

[needsleep]

Lots of things motivate me...

Other people really motivate me:-
Guys who don't put any effort in, seeing them as I train makes me train harder.
Guys who put lots of effort in motivate me, seeing others putting in a lot of effort makes me have to at least match the intensity otherwise I'll feel like a no effort guy.
Skinny guys spending ages on treadmils motivates, I don't want to look like that.
People who put me down motivate me.
People who give me kind words motivate me.
People standing around talking and hardly lifting anything for an hour motivates me.
People I talk to about going to the gym motivate me especially when I hear phrases like "I don't have time to go to the gym" and then they start talking about what happened in some tv program they watch each night.
Friends I see irregularly motivate me, to better myself so much that they will notice the changes when I see them next.
People I tell my goals to motivate me, I cannot fail to achieve my goals, I got to back my words up.

These boards motivate me:-
I can imagine what Louden_Swain or Lord_Suston would say if they watched me train, would they call me a pussy who needed to put in some effort, I can envisage them infront of me, strangely having only seen their avatars Suston looks quite similar to that Vegeta dude.
Reading posts where people describe what they were feeling like after their work outs motivates me.
If I post my pic again well damn I better make improvements.

I motivate myself:-
I want to achieve my perfect natural physique, I will do this and there is no barrier that can stop me.
I want to get stronger to better myself.
I want to challenge myself, I must push myself to my limits.

Feelings motivate me:-
The feeling of waking up on a morning and looking forward to the day all due to my efforts to improve, I have 16-18 hours to make a difference before I sleep again.
The feeling I get when someone looks at me and you sort of know their thinking "he must lift weights" or "he's buff".
The feeling I get when I see my gains, in the mirror or scales or bodyfat measurements.
The feeling I get after having had a lazy workout, I feel bad, can't let it happen again.

Okay I could just keep typing, in short so many things motivate me, some have a much bigger influence than others though.

getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and getting bigger and bigger and bigger and BIGGER and BIG BIG BIG and so BIG that I need to buy new clothes, hehehe

ok ok..

but really.. what motivates me, I guess that would be people and or friends saying .."geezez crAp, [last name here], your getting big, or people just plain starring at me in the gym, sometimes I dont like people gawkin all the time tho, causes I feel like im on stage or something.

I LOVE THIS SHIT

Bitterness and hatred mostly but also having people look at me like I am going to eat them helps a lot too.

I feed off negative energy. The more negativity that is brought to me, the more fuel my body has to burn.

btw, wildonsquats that was tremendous brother

I couldn't have said it better myself. Your thread has just motivated me. I cant wait to wake up at 5 am tommorow and bust my ass. God... I love training!!!!!!!!

 

[Dirty Workout]

This weight is a joke and I am going to annihilate it

 

[c3bodybuilding]

My motivation today, was looking at new pics I took of myself, and saying I want to be 260lbs again, and I'm not going to let set back due to injury get in my way. I used that to fuel my entire workout tonight, and after 4 weeks away from the gym, it was as if I had never left. I may be down about 25lbs in body weight, and some lifts were down at least 50lbs, but it made me just push harder.

I tore it up, burning with desire, sweat pouring down my face, the weights being thrown around everywhere. In the end it was just me standing there. Not the other people in the gym, not even the weights, just me. And it was there that I looked deep down inside, and knew I had done all I could. It was then home for food, and rest

 

[muscledog95]

Betting myself mentally, spiritually, and physically. Not letting my body deteriorate like a lot of my friends.

 

[Lord_Suston]

Just feeling like I accomplished something at the gym each time I go. Too many of my friends have let themselves go over the years . Plus I work in a heart unit. seeing what obesity and smoking and rinking does to ones body is motivation enough ...

 

[Lee]

today i found some new motivation, my aggrivation from my 6th hour that developed from the girl i like... probably not a good thing, but im not gonna let it get to me.

 

[jeremys]

today i've had 2 kids ask me what i bench, some other kid told me i was bigger than his refrigerator, and have been complimented a couple more times on my size. compliments are always nice

 

[The Red Dragon]

Lee: 6th hour?
I guess my motivation is that I'm training smarter than my friends at school and actually acquiring more size in one month that they have in the past 6 months. The fact that in a few months people will give me obsequious stares . And I suppose anger is my most significant motivator. I find lifting a great form of stress release. *Girl problems =/, not suprising to say the least

Today my motivation;

To know that the evil eye I recieve comes from individuals who lack the meddle that I have. The heart, the drive, and the effort I put forth everyday in trying to become the best that my body & mind will allow me to be.

 

[endpoint]

my motivation:

a little voice in the back of my head that reminds me i will be the strongest man in the world in a few years...i was gonna go to a shrink and get it checked out, but for now there is only one voice...and it hasnt told me to kill yet........
