Howsit guys.

New here, awesome site. So I've read the threads about what motivates you. But curious to know, what made you first walk into a gym? Losing weight? Gain weight? Girls?

My 16 year old bro had 35kgs on me and convinced me. Been gymming for about a year and haven't looked back!

Being lazy and unhealthy sucked. Went to gym, got some stamina, got some strength.
Got asked to take my pants off, went for hours, threw her around the room some.
Seemed pretty cool...

Sorry if I offend you
Its just my point of view

Yeah. In truth I can't really remember why I went to gym for the first time...
I'm pretty sure I wanted to be bigger and stronger. I think I wanted to be fitter and healthier too...

I remember going to every big oke and staff member and asking them for advice. Most of it crap. But I followed my programme to a T

It worked for me, but anything would have. I was unhealthily under weight, and started benching the bar for ten reps.

I tore my knee ligaments playing rugby, and had to hit the gym for rehab. This was in the mid 80's, when gyms were small and far apart. The Health & Racquet clubs came a bit later, when I tore the ligs in my other knee

Seeing this mate of mine go from an Oros man to something that looks more like a 5 ft 8 version of the hulk was also some nice motivation. :cheer:

If working on body and character doesnt cost you something its woth noting. If criticism is all that proceed out of your mouth then know that is how you feel about yourself and depicts the health of your soul.

True Motivation is an act of the will. So many try and are inconsistent because there is no true desire for success or change. I used to be very fat and in Gr 10 Health and Racquet opened I hated being fat so I convinced my mom to sign my contract. Once I started training some old school guys took me under their wing and showed me the ropes, that was 10 years ago. The desire to no longer be a fat lazy kid being teased all the time changed my view on life.
