What motivates you ?

Does it motivate you when people watch you train ?
Does it motivate you when your pumps hurt ?
Does it motivate you when you have hose viens down your forearms ?
Does it motitvate you when your striations are showing thru your t shirt ?
Does it motivate you when you have viens running thru your quada and you didnt even train them that day ?
Does it motivate you when you wake up in the morning and you have a pump ?


WELL THATS ALL MY MOTIVATION ! I AM GETTING READY ,, THATS ALL I HAVE TO SAY !:bowdown:

LMAO

Re: What motivates you ?

When I do squats and dudes come and stare at me and tell me "Good set, bro!" "Great posture!" "I know I couldn't do that". Plus just going to the gym seeing other monsters work out and hoping to be like them some day.

Looking at old pictures and then looking in the mirror, knowing how far I've come and how far I will still go.

Re: What motivates you ?

I actually hate people watching me. It makes me want to tell them to stop standing around and get busy. LOL

Don't really know what motivates me these days. I guess I have been doing it for so long that autonomy kicks in and it's second nature or like an addictive habit. I feel really bad if I don't do it.

Re: What motivates you ?

Does it motivate you when people watch you train ? No, but I like it when I ask for a spot and the guys (who are all bigger than me) say holy shit ar eyou sure? or how many? I say 8-12 and they say that's just nuts.
Does it motivate you when your pumps hurt ? Hell yes!
Does it motivate you when you have hose viens down your forearms ? Hell yes!
Does it motitvate you when your striations are showing thru your t shirt ? I wish!
Does it motivate you when you have viens running thru your quada and you didnt even train them that day ? I don't even have quads, I have a couplelumps on these pegs
Does it motivate you when you wake up in the morning and you have a pump ? yes

What motivates me? When I put something on the bar and get it for 2-3 as opposed to the 1 I expecte

What motivates me? Like last friday I (I know it's not alot for you guys, but I'm 180 and not very big) I had 365 on the bar for squats I asked for a spot and I had 2 guys say holy shit.. I hit 2 to parallel and could have got 4 but I didn't want to hurt my back which is always troubling me.What motivates me?

What motivates me? When my wife says wow your back is reallyl getting big!

What motivates me? when I would roll with guys bigger than me and they'd say you're freaky strong, how did you roll me out or under and pull out of that sub?

What motivates me? Me... My work ethic in the gym, the fact that I push it.. I won't cruise... I won't accept that I can only lift this much or be this big, that I will out work most of thepeople I see at the gym. That I take pride in kickin' the shit out of myself in the gym! That I work 2 jobs from 3:30am and still get a full on workout ed in the gym and take no prisoners even when I'm dog tired! That even though I have THE WORST GENETICS for this sport and I won't accept it... that I won't let my incredible lack of genetics hold me back, and I won't quit and say well this is what I have and I won't get bigger or stronger...Fuck that! I won't stop till I get to where I WANT to be and I WANT to look like...

SiD

Re: What motivates you ?

Each year i strive to improve myself, and although i do improve each and every time i step on stage, i am never where i want to be. Each meal, each workout, each day, week and month get me closer and closer to my goal.

Goal for '07: I WILL WIN A SHOW, WEIGHTCLASS AND OVERALL.

There is no doubt in my mind that if i put everything i have into this goal i will succeed. The difference between being self confident and being cocky is being able to back up my word and just do it.

Re: What motivates you ?

Damn Sid. I feel like a pansy now.
Hard for me to answer after that. lol

I like being the strongest person in the group.

I like seeing the veins in my tris and my chest when I am sitting idle by the pool..half a sleep...no pump.

I like when my wife talsk about the muscle I have gained and compares me to folks we see on tv.

I feel rotten when I let myself go like I have over this past year.

All of these things motivate me.

I feel better when I am in good shape. I have a hard time getting started after a long layoff, but once I get going, I change everything and just put my mind on cruise control and bust ass.
