Reply With QuoteMakes me go? I have things that I am lifting for:
I play at a pro softball level and lift for that reason mostly. But before I ever started lifting for that reason I was big into bodybuilding since the age of 14. I love it and could never see myself without it. There have been a few instances where I have taken more than 2 weeks off, but not to many. One of my motivations is seeing people I havent seen in a long time and they go wow, look at you. Of course they have aged a bit and they are normally 20-30lbs overweight.
How do you get motivated?

How do you get motivated?
Without going into too much detail: I was obsessed with bodybuilding thru school, graduated 18months ago and have basically neglected my body since. lost about 25lbs of muscle. not only am I not exercising, but I'm not even active as my job and travel have taken over my life.
I'm 23 and my metabolism is slowing and for the first time in my life im 'out of shape'.
I dont accept that and will change starting now.
question to you< what makes you go?
(sorry if similar threads have been previously posted..eh?)_ thanks .

school was prolly your motivation.... you know their are 1500+ guys/girls and you wanted a good body and etc.
. my motivation is my goals and sometimes i feel unmotivated but i just think to myself if i want these goals bad enough then well i will reach them no matter what 
...but my biggest motivation was my uncle(s).

yea, I was motivated in school with all the hype-- but it's been a way of life for me prior to entering the real world.-always exercising/always active.
I went on vacation last wk with 10 of my friends (many who are falling similar to me), but they all said 'what the f--k happened to you?'.. that did it.
anyway, enough is enough. I decided that it's over for me. I'm not messing around anymore.
for the record.
2 years ago I was 230lbs, 12% body fat, 335 bench.
now I'm 195 (6.3), body fat? I have love handles. bench? maybe 225 before getting hurt.
Goal: get in shape. don't care about bench. 210lbs/low body fat.
wish me luck.

Good luck. Muscle does have memory, so it may not be as hard as you think.

"How do I get motivated"? I kill a hooker.
So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.
