GIRLS GIRLS AND MORE GIRLS!
haha, no but seriously i think about girls i like and then guys bigger than me, and then those guys getting my girls. and i get real pumped. also if you lift with people you want to show off. things that i do. but the real motivation comes from the gains you see when you first start

hey nick i hear you on this one. Motivation..to come to think of it theres soemthign that drives us all. Even in our day to day lives we dont realise it but waking up to goto class at 8 is motivation and dedication :) Heres what you do. Ask yourself do you really want this, how bad do youw ant it? Why are you pursuing this? Are you mentally stable and happy to keep up a diet and exercise regularly without being a victim to lethargy. Rememebr if you workout just for the sake of it you wot be putting in a 100% So clear your head of all your worries and slam those weights. If you feel de motivated way to often you could be over training, so take it easy start slow, get a feel for it. In 3 months the results will keep you motivated to do better and never stop from becoming whateva it is you aspire. Good Luck!

Definately!! ^^^
I like to look at b.b'ing mags, the pics are really motivating for me....I say "..I want that too!" However what really keeps me going at it every day is how I feel.....I walk with confidence, confidence in myself because I am doing something that most chicks my age just wouldn't even try! We are a unique breed.....we get up and strive to push ourselves harder than the day before, we stand for something to ourselves and to those around us!!
I have to push myself to pay a bill, or make a call, or do the vacuuming BUT I NEVER have to push myself to go to the gym!! And when do feel that way, I take a break!!
Now withj that all said....let's get out there!!!!!
***note*** (still on my endorphine 'high', just came from the gym )

Read this...

Instant motivation.
For me it was being in the ultimate condition for endurance trials. I felt unless I was in peak physical condition that I would not perform when needed. Being in the field for months leading and participating in combat exercises demands alot from your body and mind. I always felt that it is best to have built a fortress for your mind. Your body is the most amazingly advanced machine that you will ever find. The human body will adapt to almost anything you can put it through. The best part is when you thought you finally hit a limit, you exceed it. Your the pilot...
Other than the pump, rush, adrenaline high, and endless stamina I can't think of any better motivation.

WHAT I do becuase im 15. Im pretty cool. And I guess im hot alot of hot chicks like me. But since im only a freshman I think of all the dicks and ****s that are mean to you. And try to get bigger before they graduate so you can kick thier arse. That pisses me off enough to get mad and lift. Plus im skinny since im a wrestler. and I have to maintain alot of muscle. on the off season so I also think of that as a motivating goal to kill the kids im going to wrestle next year. I think it would be hard for me not to lift if I didnt have enemies

I get motivated with the partners I workout with.
Try to find a good workout partner. When Im not motivated to workout, he usually drags my butt out of the couch and gets me back on track to workout. I do the same when hes not motivated as well.
Works well both ways.

Yeah dude. I take all my anger when lifting weights. Instead of doing something stupid about it.

This is what one of my favorite sites for motivation, animalpak, had to say.
quote:
April 23: "Overcome"
I get a lot of questions about my tattoo, "Overcome". It started out as a tribute to a fallen friend. Later, down the road, it became a part of what people thought of when they thought of me. People associated the tattoo with my attitude: If I have to go around it, over it or just right ****ing through it, I'll get to where I'm going. The main thing they realized was that when I'm set to go off, they had better be some place else. When they saw me eat or train, they began to think of me as a man-machine. That's how I got this nickname, "Machine". It's because that's the only way they could describe what they saw. "Damn, this kid is a ****ing machine," they'd say. They are right.
I am living proof that one motivated individual can become whatever he sees himself to be. You can become huge if you find a way to transcend limits. Limits are what people all around you try to place on you throughout your life. Limits is what makes people mediocre. The key is not to allow them to weaken you by infecting you with their loser's attitude. Spend 99% of your time ripping yourself apart to get better, and the other 1% of your time punishing yourself because you should be further along. My advice: Becoming your own worst enemy is the only way to know greatness. This is how you overcome.
The way I see it, if I could go back and start working out at 15, my life would be 830 times better than it is today. One for each day of the 2 years I missed out on. As far as im concerned, these chumps above me are useless. Girls, enemies... There is only one reason you should work out, and thats for yourself. Girls and vengence are simply biproducts of the hard work and didication YOU put forward. A missed workout cannot be "made up"! It is a day that will never come back again. Do what you have to do to move forward, otherwise you're falling back.
Forget your lil home gym set up and join your school gym!!!!!!! Always train after school when you have some fresh motivational ammunition to drive you harder. There are too many distractions at home and you will get side tracked or demotivated whenever you rest between sets. When you workout at a gym, you can clear your mind of all the everyday clutter to concentrate 100% on improving your body. Becoming a regular in your school gym will also give you a certain amount of status as people will notice your commitment. You can also ask questions, get spots or talk about **** that happened that day.
Most importantly, keep a positive attitude. You can make anything negative into a positive. Teacher pissing you off? Imagine their head between your dumbells as you clang them together at the top of each rep. Blowing off steam in the weight room will cool you off when you're outside of it!
I've got one more thing to say. I learned this little piece of advice working in the oil fields of Alberta from a guy named Cluster, "Suck it up princess!!"

First of all, you gotta know why your going to the gym everyday. If you don't know why your in the gym and have a strong set of goals in mind, there is no point. Your wasting you time. If you don't know what you want, you obviously can't get it.
I'm mostly talking short term goals here too, not invisioning yourself looking like Ronnie Coleman. That obviously takes years of hard work. Not to say you can't reach it. But it takes patience and small steps. I'm talking goals like "I'm gonna lose a pound by Friday, or "I'm gonna put 5 pounds on my bench in these next two weeks". Short terms goals will keep you going strong.
You also have to know that your going to hit plauteaus in progress. Your weight loss will slow, your gains will slow.....just plain be ready for it....be prepared because it happens....the best thing to do is to be ready for plateaus and have a plan ahead of time on how to break through....therefore when you hit the plateau, you can say "I was expecting this and I know how I'm gonna handle it, I know what I'm gonna change and I'm excited about my new routine".

Well Nick I must say being motivated is a big commitment and you considering it, is good! Bodybuilding is a beautiful motivation. You, debetting, is not a answer so take a minute and tell your self, you have a goal in your hands and you want to reach it. Well think of this everyday is the same **** different ways. If you know you like bodybuilding try it and you will see, onces the results will come, you wish you've never thought of having to ask for motivation. Well now it's up to you, good luck!
