How do you motivate yourself to get in the gym?

juggernaut · 05-23-2006, 03:11 PM

How do you do it? Music? Movies? TV? Quotes? ETC?

I just do it

Bakerboy · 05-23-2006, 03:50 PM

With a small cup of good coffee and MUSIC

If that doesn't work light a firecracker and stick it down my pants.

Same for me.

yeah well try to get up EVERY morning at 345 to get into the gym @ 415 and wait for that goddamn cup of joe to kick in. I usually use no doz since its a purer form of cafeine. But goddamn it takes a while.

juggernaut · 05-23-2006, 04:16 PM

Incidentally, I am all about the music. If I watch UFC3 on spike TV I am all in. Expecially the theme music.

Seeing and feeling results.

juggernaut · 05-23-2006, 07:04 PM

thats why I keep a journal of my results.

Seanp156 · 05-23-2006, 07:07 PM

Music while I'm in the gym.

StickCity · 05-23-2006, 08:45 PM

pussy, no workout = no pussy. Simple as that. However, NO explode works pretty well, though I need damn 3-4 scoops of that shit now

Best thing about a gym at home is that that there is less motivation needed to get one in there........because it's so near.

"My {home}gym" is rather a small low ceilinged room in the attic.The only thing that motivates me is ;doing it often enough, so that in the end one walks in there like a robot and just trains (in some form or another).

It's just plain 'routine', one forces oneself the first few weeks {or months}, then it becomes like a sort of automatic pilot.

DOMS · 05-25-2006, 03:51 PM

Nick+, are there many gyms in France? I know you don't live near any, but are there many in the cities? If so, are they more like Bally's or more like Gold's Gyms?

maniclion · 05-25-2006, 03:59 PM

There was a time when I actually had to motivate myself not to train on my off days.

How do I motivate myself - hmmm ... by looking in the mirror probably (naked of course)

juggernaut · 05-25-2006, 04:50 PM

from day one of my co-called amateur career as a competitive bodybuilder, motivation hasnt been a problem. I am always thinking that if I dont stay motivated, there's another guy working out alone in the gym somewhere who wil get that fucking pro card that i want.

I have yet to miss one day-forced layoffs are a bitch too.

I'm in the middle of nowhere in the village of the damned........ Even from here I know of two (I've heard decent) gyms , one a 30 minute drive away, another one under a rugby stadium 40 minutes away. Never been to either. Big cities got plenty of gyms, even Gold's in the bigger one's.

Nick+ · 05-26-2006, 12:14 AM
