TheSavageBean Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I say something weird to myself when I feel like quitting."Do you have eyes?"It makes me appreciate everything I have, I've got eyes. I can see. My brain and body work as this wonderful machine that gives me life. Having eyes is the gift that lets me look at myself, really look at myself and see what I've done with this gift. It also reminds me of what I look like and what I can't do, makes me look in the mirror and see the guy staring back that could have been training all his life but he was too priviledged and lazy. Then I realise that the only way out of the hole that I've dug for myself is through the training. And yeah it's tough, yeah I might not want to go to bed early and wake up to lift. But then I see the future. My eyes let me look at my body and my life and see the potential in them. Everything I could be is laid out in front of me like a kid's playset and all I have to do is work hard and think right to get there. So I clench my jaw and say, 'Yeah, I've got eyes.'

bigm141414 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 "Oooooh, that looks fun..." Seriously I say this everytime I see something in the gym, Crossfit, or just out in the world. Also my mantra: "Light as a feather, attack the weight". I say it before every rep. Quote "Pull the bar like you're ripping the head off a god-damned lion" - Donny Shankle Link to comment
Maj. Bloodnok Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 "Dead at 70".My grandfather and his brother both died in their 70s. They were both great big German guys who ate and drank a lot but didn't take care of themselves. They both weighed over 300 pounds at the end. I never met my grandfather, and barely knew my great-uncle. I'm not going that way. I want to know my grandkids.

esteel Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Not exactly sure how to translate it properly.. 'resistance makes you grow' or 'you grow over resistance'.. In both senses, every obstacle you cope with makes you a better and more straightforward, more focused and more selfware person. And also in regard to resistance training it will literally make you grow.

blindasutsutsu Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I am kind of mean to myself. Usually when I lack motivation to go to the gym i say. "Get your fat ass up out of that chair and go lift something heavy. And don't come back to me until you do, or i swear I will hate you sooo much." Then I shake my fist in my own general direction.

Bacon Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 "Dead at 70".My grandfather and his brother both died in their 70s.

I never met my grandfather, and barely knew my great-uncle. I'm not going that way. I want to know my grandkids.That really hit home... If I average the ages my father and his father died I'm already well past middle age at 36. Neither was ever "out of shape". For that matter, all but two of my 6 direct ancestors has/had some heart issue. Add to that the remaining 2 have had either cancer or alzhiemers... yeah.. Which is why I frequently state "I'm competing against genetics" Quote Link to comment

Sea Level Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Never, ever, ever give up. In the context of this episode, it's not about training, but the advice works for me.
