Guest Dirty Deads Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Today's workout inspiration is how great my ass looks in these jeans. Gotta keep working it to keep it looking this good! (vain yes, true yes, fitting into your clothes better just rocks.) We need pics for inspiration My recent inspirations are Ido Portal ( I want my body to move the way my mind wants it to )Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen ( physique and the way he rock's that salmon ladder )I want to be a superhero.Quotes by Lao Tzu such as " When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be" really give me perspective.lastly, I want to live through anything.

RocketsMcGuire Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 How silly, forgot to mention revenge! When I need motivation, I get someone to tell me I can't do something. Then comes crazy determination to prove them wrong. Sometimes tell myself 'YOU CANT DO IT ASSHAT' just to prove to myself that ...myself was wrong? A mind is a strange thing.

I-Jo Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 nah- I'm super critical and negative- I need the bashing to help me. if someone stood over me my whole workout and yelled what a piece of lazy shit I was- it would be great. but no one likes doing that... Link to comment

People are afraid to be honest sometimes. If you're shit here you get told, whether you asked for it or not. Just some of the 'nicer' ones need permission first. But if I ever get to one of those NF meetups I'll call you everything under the sun! Adventurer Lv. 120/100 EXP Link to comment
I-Jo Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 this is true. I don't work with people who like training like I do- I'm pretty much one of like 2 at my gym who does this (least at the hours I'm there) I'm game. I like it- I know I can be better- telling me I'm good already makes me complacent. Always pushing- warrior at heart is never satisfied!!! Link to comment
Maledictus Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Went to see these guys tonight with a very good friend that insisted on dragging me along because she thought I'd appreciate it. How right she was.. An insane mix of parkour/trapeze/rope work. Never seen anyone do a tightrope in stilettos before! So much inspiration in one place, it was staggering.

Draken273 Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 my latest two motivators have been-The threat of losing my job because of my weight/lack of working out, so yeah, i kinda have to get my ass in gear...but it keeps me going when i just wanna quit.Also, the current 6WC that i joined, I love competition, and i really wanna see what kinda difference i can make in myself in 6 weeks. Lifelong ones for me though have always been the mirror and the media, i see a dude on TV, and im like "damn, why cant I look like that...Oh wait, i can" or just looking in the mirror and not seeing what i wanna be keeps me motivated to do something about it.However, i do not check out my ass in the mirror, although these jeans do make it look good.. I was born a fool and haven't improved much since. - Lattie TiptonDwarven Ranger Level 1STR:3 DEX:2 STA:3CON:3 WIS:2 CHA:2 Link to comment

Irish Oisin Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 I look at pictures of fat Oisin and think that I can be better. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a big inspiration too, I don't want to get that big but his drive and determination is phenomenal. If he could do what he did, then I can go to the gym 3-4 times a week. Go BIG, or go home. Link to comment
SpecialSundae Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 I look at where I started and how far I've come then how far I've got to go. Also seeing Spezzy and wanting to catch up with her on lifting all the things! Link to comment
Lampito Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 I re-watch Terminator 2 for the umpteenth time. The Sarah Connor poster on my closet door works too.... Someday I'll have chin-up skills (and arm/shoulder muscles) like those. Also, the transformation stories on the blog here. Spezzy's is the reason I'm finally taking my deadlifts seriously!

crimsonrain95 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 I would have to say that video games are the thing that get me going when I've hit a slump. I play a little as one of my favourite characters, execute a few casual feats of awesomeness, and suddenly I'm back in the gym levelling myself again. Perhaps not the most realistic role-models to have, but who needs realism anyway?
