We already have a great spot with some great music. I listen to music in the gym, so I was wondering what motivates some of you outside the gym? Anythiong get you pumped and eager to get in the gym and destroy the weights?

 

Personally I'm a big fan of quotes, so figured I'd share a few of the ones I liked.

 

Muhammad Ali was once asked:
 "How many sit ups do you do?"
 His answer:
 Don’t know - I only start counting when it starts hurting..."

 

"You want me to do something... tell me I can't do it." -Maya Angelou

 

"Hard work beats talent when talent fails to wlork hard" -Kevin Durant

 

"If you think you can or if you think you cant, either way you are right" -Henry Ford

 

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

 

Another thing I find is great motivation are movies. Some of my favorites being the Rocky series and Cinderella man.

Personal experience.

When I first started working out, I was always told that how you look at the end of your work-out is how you'll look in a month and a half before you work out if you keep lifting..  Obviously your gains slow down the longer you work-out but admire your pump because it's your hard work thats given you it.

There is a new movie coming out called "Too Fast To Terminate" where Arnold goes back in time to find Sarah Connor only to realize she is a sweet 1968 Camaro Z28.  He falls for the car and together they cruise a post-apocalyptic wasteland saving people from zombies :-P

Yep - I agree with this one completely.  Especially now when it's cold and you've hit the gym when no one else is and you get a great pump and you know that you've taken one more step to your goals!

Cinderella Man is an AMAZING movie! One of my favorites. Russell Crowe plays a boxer who loses everything in the depression and comes back to beat the heavy weight champion after a horrible losing streak.

 

You got to see it!

This is pretty much what gets me to the gym:

 

1) Watch one of Scott's YouTube video.

2) Look at old pics from when i was massively overweight.

3) Think about going on holiday to the Maldives with a good shape.
