[whiteowl]

focus....start a visualization process....it is the lock-out of each rep that is your focus....and in your mind see the one thing that infuriates you.....i used to visaulize the throwdown of a meth head in a drug bust....that uhhh, as he is being thrown to the floor....take that feeling and mark it to the lock-out

I am new to this area and I only have one workout partner and he is sooooo lazy. I try to just think of my goals and what I want to achieve.......or ex girlfriends who have pissed me off

I think part of my problem is I workout at 24 hour fitness. I need to find another gym that doesn't have 8 year old grommets running around playing on the machines.
I want to walk into the gym and see some serious training. That motivates me when I see other people killing themselves.

[shifty_git]

Watch 5-10 min of Pumping Iron and get jealous.

[moregunsthanroses]

I pop half a dozen 5mg dexedrin pills with my pre workout meal. , the one thing that sucks is that it's an appetite suppresant, I'm used to force feeding(IE gagging) so it's fine.. THis sounds bad but im pratically reliant on it I've been taking it pre workout since january,

[moregunsthanroses]

I'm prescribed them BTW... quite often ..when I wake up I feel really tired before I take them with my Pre WO meal, looks like im addicted guys lmao

[C_Bino]

I just tell myself that I HAVE to do it. I dont think about anything else except I must do it. I even tell myself that I got a rope tied to the weight and if I dont rep it out than the rope drops and my mom falls off a cliff. It's retarded but it makes me do it. LOL.

[Misery13]

music...powerEDGE energy drink...my desire to be as big and strong as possible...the people in the gym staring at me...my wife...

[SaSqUaDgE]

punch my self in the face lol

[godkilla]

anger. i just think about the things that piss me off in between sets.

[number twelve]

i actually have better workouts and pumps when im in a good mood and i feel good about life in general. if im stressed and pissed off, i just feel kinda tired and flat...

[soulstealer]

The thought of the gym gets me super pumped to go to the gym

[Chitown Raider]

[lotaquestions]

look at my fat roommate

[Beefkake31]

To put it simply, when you don't have that deep down drive then there is nothing that will help. There were times I just didn't have that drive and no matter what I did I would keep stalling. You just have to find a big enough reason why you lift. If the reason is not big enough or motivational enough then you might get by on videos and stimulants short term but after a few weeks or months that will fade.

[Johnny_Rotten]

Hardcore Punk..

Listen to about 1-15 mins of Terror, Integrity, Hatebreed, Sick of it all & feel like i can take on the world..

Also think about hot gals i'd like to smash hahaha. I imagine they're at the gym watching me bench, deadlift etc & if i can't finish my sets they're gonna laugh at me cos i'm a weak failure. usually works

[_CrossroadS_]

I just think about being 6' 150lbs in high school. And know that if I stopped working out, I would head in that direction quickly. That usually does the trick.

I agree though, I don't need to psyche myself up, I look forward to the gym. And being in a good mood definitely helps.

[wanabeMASSIVE!]

Take deap breaths in thru ur nose and grunt on exhale! look into a miror while doin this pertend ur the incredible hulk! or just slap ur self!

[Dukkit]

i shove a butt plug up my arse and hit the gym. i become a maniac!!

ok, ok, i lied. i just think about ex g/fs that have done me dirty.

[wanabeMASSIVE!]

lmao this guys too funi^^

[Dukkit]

lmao this guys too funi^^

[jchopper1]

start to think of all the ***** i want to crush or inject 10000mgs of gear

[running_scared]

I have a terribly lazy roommate who has resorted to 'quick fixes' and instant gratification in his life. Instead of running (keep in mind in the last year he ran e2d) he sits infront of the tv to play video games and watch movies. On Fridays he parties till 2AM, saturday he parties till 5AM. Then sleeps pretty much all sundays. At first I was extremely angry at him for giving up working out and trying to better himself, but now I find it more of a good thing, because it makes me want to go all that much and brag how well I'm doing at the gym.

Works for me.

there is nothing wrong with a balance of the 2. I'd rather be out partying with hot girls then home making servings of chicken and rice and going to bed early so i can be up at 8 on a sunday for the gym

point taken, and i would never expect anyone not to go out and have some fun. however there's line drawn 'how much is too much?' if you consume a case of beer, 2 shots and probably throw drugs in there too i wouldn't call that balanced. i like going out, but i'm not in the phase of *lets get so shitfaced everything is a blur and the entire sunday is spent in the bed drinking slurpees and eating mcdonalds* like my roommate.

every once and a while, sure. i'll be finishing up my uni exams later this week and plan to rip up the night. but i have to control myself because i know if i go too crazy, i'm probably going to be sick, the next day (or two) my diet will be completely out of wack...and i can't party with lots of hot chicks anyways because i have a GF
