What motivates you.....

....to hit the gym and keep hitting it day in day out?

For me its more a fear of getting overweight and looking flabby....maybe Im vain...I dunno...I just feel a load better when I know Im in shape.

I hear you...my son keeps me on the go...I couldn`t imagine not being able to keep up with him cause Im outta shapeB)

I could never get overweight or flabby if I wished.... i'm a hard gainer so everything I put on is quality mass... mine is the fear of losing weight if I don't train LOL!!!

Yeah, i think its to know that you look better than 80% of the other guys out there... That would keep anyone motivated. I also find that it takes the days stress away, as you forget about the crap day you might have just had.
I feel fat (sounds gay) and frustrated if i miss a day of gym!

I think one of the hardest parts is when you have to take a week off to give your body the rest, it feels wrong.

I see a HUGE difference if I dont gym for a week..... its mainly because I can't eat when I don't train.

but you right, the day stress!!! having a pumping gym session really helps... ahhhhhhhh nothing like pomping iron

errr pumping iron

only thing left to do is c*** stands.... lol

To be the biggest in SA...

This cold is keeping me away from training...its driving me nuts...Im sure I ve picked up 60% body fat since I was last in the gym:laugh:

I dont wanna end up like the rest of my friends that's biggest question in life whether they should put their belts on their stomuch or under it.... :dry:

Also in in words of Uri "I dont want a missus that can bench press more than I do!!:woohoo: "

My wife is training really hard and looking dam good, since the start of the year she has lost 13kg. This motivates me big time also like the guys said , I have 2 Son’s , I must be their Hero.

I also feel its your duty to be at gym when in a relationship.... if you meet a girl and she is looking good, looks after herself and then time goes on and she 'gets comfortable' and starts letting go, thats when things fall apart... and its the same with guys....

I train and try keep myself looking good for my girl, its allways nice to get compliments of, shoe you looking good and you been with her for 2 years.... and visa vera... and its the effort you make.... my girl has to get up at 4:45 to get to gym and be at work on time and training in the evenings is a no go due to the time she finishes work....

and hence we both look after ourself and try look our best...

Reading the Animal guide book motivates me
Those guys are all perfectly symetrical and huge! and they've got a no bullshit attitude towards training and nutrition, they tell it how its supposed to be

i wanna be the best. i wanna look good. i wanna run fast. i wanna lift big. my motivation is to be the best, and nothing will get in the way of that.
