Lets hear your best quote or motto that motivates you in terms of BB . Could be a quote that defines your way of living or a quote that outlines your goals/dreams!

I refer to Uncle Arnold's quote:

"My instinct was to win, eliminate anyone who is my competition, destroy my enemy, and move on without any kind of hesitation at all."

Train hard or get the FU%K out!

Posted by: Training God

Very simple really. Many people train their muscles to oblivion without even a thought to what their body is saying to them.
They think more is better, harder equals more growth, more sets brings them intensity when all it takes is some rest or more food.
Use your god given brain and listen to yourself.

Posted by: gopro

Ok, fair enough...but don't you think you can train BOTH smart AND hard?

Posted by: Freeman

I like this one..it can apply to many things..it's from a song by my favorite band "Refused"...(they're from Sweden and broke up a few years ago):

"I'd rather be forgotten...than remembered for giving in!"

Posted by: perfecto

"head is bloodied but unbowed"

These are just some quotes that i know of, off the top of my head.

"Failure is not fatal, failing to change will be."

"It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not."

"Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things only hoped for."

Yeah, KS sent me that link a while back. I've been coaching him for quite a while now and will help him prepare for a competition next year. He was kind enough to mention me in his interview and said some very flattering things. Thanks again KS...you look great!

Thank you SO much for the compliment freeman! Most pics posted around are from 1999 or so. I was a lightheaviweight back then, competing in the 195-198 range. In 2003 I am hoping to hit the stage at 215-218 at an even lower BF %.

Your words are very appreciated and fire me up to improve even more!

You're welcome...it's awesome to see a natural bodybuilder doing so well! Inspiring me to keep on going! Keep up the good work!

HEY!!! Who cares about giving THEM an updated pic!! I WANT TO SEE THE UPDATED PIC!! HAHAHAHA Seriously GoPro, you look awesome. I'm at work and I'd kill the guy sitting next to me to look that good bro! lol (OK again with my stupid sense of humor).
Since I see that whatever your doing works I would consider it an honor
if you would look at my pics in the Members pic section and critique the hell out of me and also to give me a few pointers. Believe me when I say, I'd rather get critisism then "you look great" posts.
I see you do consulting and doubt it's free so IM me with your info so I can get some pointers from you.
Sincerely, Firestorm.

Basically, I have not been lifting for very long at all. I'm on these forums alot and see pictures of all the people looking absolutely jacked and wish that those results would come quicker. That has led me to writing on a sign in my basement

One of the last things my grandmother said about me when she was alive was that I was "worthless" So when I need every ounce of strength I can muster for a 1RM attempt or a heavy set, I just repeat that word to myself a few times and take a couple deep breaths.

I also like "The guy who says he can, and the guy who says he can't are both right"

And of course..."what we do in life, echoes through eternity!!!"

Sometimes I "Mooooo!" really loud when I'm trying to finish putting up a big weight. It won't look so damned funny when I'm deadlifting 600 pounds though.
