What is that motivates you to work hard at the gym
everyday? Truth is that it varies from person
to person, but all (bodybuilders) have one goal in
common, having a physique others
will envy. But without hard work, dedication,
willingness, and most importantly motivation its
very hard to reach our goals.
Unless If you are some
genetically gifted freak, then you're very
lucky. But in reality not many of us are genetically
gifted, that's just life . Having an envious
physique is our great motivator that keeps us working
hard. But, there are times (days rather)
we all become blue and question the great sacrifice we
are making to look good.
We sometimes
ask our selves lacking the motivation to work hard.
Because, is what IM doing worth all my
time and effort? We all have at one time or another
find ourself's questioning why lift hard or diet
clean. At this point you've notice your dedication is
very LOW!
But, you should always find
that raging fire deep within, and inner voice that
tells you this is what YOU want. GET
MASSIVE. Many guys simply stop lifting because they've
lost motivation, no not you! You will
keep yourself motivated at all times and keep getting
bigger.
MP3 Player
Well, there are some ways that have worked for me and
might just as well work for you. For
example, listening to music or favorite songs that
gets you angry and pumped. Many of us lift at
the gym and know how bad the music is, and we have no
other choice. That's why I
recommend buying an MP3 player, they are small and
weight nearly nothing.
In fact some you
can easily put in your pocket and not even know that
its their. But, the best thing is that you can
change the songs as often as you'll like, never
getting tired of listening to the same songs. So if
you have not yet brought your own music to the gym,
next time try and bring your CD player or
mp3 player full of the songs you like.
Life
Moving along to "life", and all the negative influence
people bring to us all. Well I'll not get too
personal but here is another great method of
motivation. In school we often are made fun of or
put-down because we choose this new way of life. I'll
give a brief example: There's a party, you
are invited, you decided not to go because you have
concluded to stick with your new lifestyle .
But next Monday when you back to school your friends
asked why you didn't go. You decided
to explain them that you cant drink nor smoke. Well,
then they all make fun of you because you
don't party. Or saying things such as "you don't have
a life". Stuff like that just kills me, and
should fire you up too.
Next time on your workout you
just remember what they said and
picture while lifting. I'm sure that there are many
more examples that we all live everyday. ex:
you tell someone you body build, they said "but
your're small". That's another great workout
fuel, picture them on your workout and prove them
wrong! Or even your made fun of because
you bring your own lunch at school.
Sometimes our
parents can really get us teens really fired
up, in which case you can use it to workout. Well you
get the idea, there are end less of
different scenarios and we live them almost daily.
Find something that has made you mad over
the course of the month, week, or day and use it at
your workout fuel!
Dedicated Partner
Having a more psychotic, bigger, stronger, more
dedicated partner can make all the difference
in the world. A good workout partner will push your
limits to the unknowns plus keep you
motivated. If he is bigger then you even better,
because you'll stay motivated to get as big as
him. And you know that pushing those limits is the
only way to big as him.
This will keep you
motivated to reach your those goals to eat clean and
lift hard. Well, if your're bigger then your
partner then you can select anyone who's bigger then
you at your gym/school/work. Watch
how hard that person lifts/trains, then you lift
harder then him. This will keep your fire spark on
with raging dedication to get HUGE.
Hard Work
There are other great ways to getting motivated that
are as effective as the ones above. A good
example is being able to notice the results of hard
work and dieting. It's an awesome feeling
when you see yourself on the mirror, and say "wow".
That's got to be one of the best
motivations to working hard at the gym!
As well as,
when people start to notice you have gotten
bigger, and especially girls. It feels great when you
get people complimenting you, shows your
hard work has paid off, its awesome.

Not to mention
when you start seeing your bench, squat
etc.. has gone up compared to when you had started.
These are great to keep you working
hard everyday, you have finally experienced what hard
work and dedication does to you (motivation).
Conclusion
Well, I hope that a few of you learned something new
and will put it to the test. Just remember
that bodybuilding its just physical but mental most
importantly, remember that. And don't be
discourage if your a beginner, and have not been
making much progress.
Because they will
come as long as you give and give it 110%, and train
smart. And don't forget that bodybuilding
is not just competing and being big, its a lifestyle.
