The obvious answer is to be strong and to look good- and of course health is up there. But what motivates you to become THAT MUCH BIGGER than the average human?
 
One of the things for me is looking at pro-athlets (MMA, pro-wrestlers, boxers, ect...) and just admiring there bodies thinking "wow, I wanna look as impressive as that". That's what motives me.

But I dont wanna be huge though, just in great shape.

The fact that i love lifting and it makes me happy. The constant desire to improve myself.
 
you have the order of that mixed up:

1. health is always first. be strong or be big...doesn't matter...if you don't have your health you have nothing. look at all the powerlifters out there who have fucked up their bodies.....yea, they are strong, but their health is in the shits. Look at all the BB'ers out there that have fucked up their bodies. yea, they are big...but their healthy is in the shits.
 
Being over 250 is good and bad, but most of the time I love it

Yes, I agree. Health is that main thing, shoulda put that first.

What I meant to say is that most people don't become jacked-up to become healthy, they do it for looks. Just look at most of the guys who go to the gym and all the guys who walk around at the pools and at the beaches who drink tons of beer.
 
Everytime I see a complete IDIOT who is bigger and/or stronger than me...it motivates the shit out of me. I want to use my noggin and see the best gains possible.

But I'm motivated more to LEARN more about training. By doing so, I not only better myself and thus my own training, thus seeing an improvement in physique and overall well being....AS well as being able to better help everyone I know in reaching their own fitness goals, albeit big or small.
 
1.) Health...that's a given.
2.) My son.
3.) People who say I can't.
4.) People who say I'm too old.
5.) People who say, in between bites of their twinkies, "its a waste of time"
6.) People, usually unqualified, ignorant dipshits, who already know every aspect of diet, training, etc.....and don't know jack.
7.) You Guys.

If you look anything like your avatar, I would consider dating you. :nanner:
 
I was a 126lb weakling when I left school at 18 so being 162lbs of muscle (aiming for 175), able to run 3 miles pretty comfortably and reclaiming my health and my body back from smokes and booze is my ongoing motivation. I guess its going to be different for everyone.

My training partner says its just to keep healthy - yet he buys fitted t-shirts too :hmmm:

Filling out a t-shirt properly and getting the odd look from the ladies doesnt hurt either :thumb:

madd props man...we all have our success stories I hope. I finished high school not much bigger...like 140ish....I'm 200lbs now.. Started out wanting to lose weight and look good naked..Now I'm a personal trainer...go figure.
 
well im already huge in the pants and my body isnt so thats my motivation to balance the two out hehe just joking...
1. I want to be a chick magnet 2.after training i feel like a super hero
3.when i endure hard labor or a good workout it boots my ego and confidence
4.music motivates me 5. pretent the weight is a sexy bitch and slam it hard while maintaining form that motivates me hard 6. hearing my friends say everytime we workout u make me feel like a little bitch 7.waking up feeling huge and sore after a workout is nice too etc... trying to be healthy is good overall i dig it
 
Health
Appearance
Confidence
Knowing im stronger than people ten years older than me
Feel good
 
nothing motivates me right now. i force myself to workout.

try forcing yourself to go to school. then maybe you can learn what the word motivate means.
 
Seeing people who I havent seen since I was in high school. Although I was the biggest guy there, I still like to hear about my improvments since.
 
kenwood im gona sound like a fucking asshat for saying this but dam... if u are recieving as many comments as u are FLAMES (nearly atleast lol) yur obviously doing somthing right.

I wish I could go back in time and do high school all over again. #1 I would not give a shit about weights or sports, and #2 I would take hard classes and study my ass off. Oh well live and learn, my bet is Kenwood has just set himself up for a hard and shitty life and he will blame everyone but the real person who caused it.....himself.

true story. While I don't agree about weights and sports (I don't ever regret high school sports. In fact I look back and wish I knew then what I know now)...I definitely wish that I took school more seriously and didn't screw around as much. I hated my science classes in high school and barely scraped by chemistry with a D because I didn't care to apply myself to something I was "never going to use". Who would have known that I would be more into the sciences when I got older. I wasted so much time then.
 
It's not that I wouldnt play sports and lift, it is that I would not rank it as #1 in my life at that time.

its' numero uno in my life right now. On a very long list .....it goes like this...

1. Weightlifting
2. ......still tryin to figure that out.

No way man. Education is still number one on my list. Studying, learning, reseaching....that is stuff I do all day long. How can something that I do only 3hrs a week be number one priority on my list?
 
What motivates me is the race against science and time. I want to trim down to a point where I can have that 6 pack and be a bit bulkier with the rest of my lean mass. And I want to do it the old fashined way before that magic pill hits the market and all the sudden a script gets everyone lean and ripped!

I'm also motivated by health reasons, which nobody should take for granted, and my family. Lastly, but certainly not least, I'm motivated by my friends here, particularly my core group in the journaling section and the mods who have helped me along.
 
I am 15 and I am fat. I can only jump about an inch off the floor, I run slower than a turtle, I am 225lbs and I am a weakling, I have knee pain, I can't squat, I can only do 4 pushups, I guess I should have lots of motivation.

i dont know mate, when i think about it i go cause it makes me feel better than i am.

lets be honnest most of us are average joes (u wouldnt know it to hear some people talk on this forum but we are) and this is the only edge we have on the next average joe
 
I do it because weight training is the only fountain of youth.

I see so many old people hobbling along with walkers or riding electric carts who'll die of heart disease. Screw that. When I die, it'll be because I fell 500 feet to my death or because something ate me.
