cline Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 I am under orders to watch inspirational videos (even if they are Nike ads) - so says my trainer. He wants me amped and confident to hit highs tonight.So, if I promise not to watch until about an hour before my workout, what would you link to for me to get me stoked about PR in squats, bench press, and DL?I'm not good with artificial sentiment but real people doing real stuff is groovy. I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.

leadchipmunk Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 I'm not sure if I saw this first on these forums or not, but what about this? I'd find more, but my internet is horribly slow today and videos don't want to load. What about the This I SO SICK thread? Some awesome inspiration there.

Max Power Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 This was an ad before some random video I watched last week, one of the few ads I watched in full!
