    Work out mind set? How do u get urs?

    I was just wondering how you guys get pumped up before working out, I like to watch videos of arnold and ronnie coleman training before i hit the gym, and other rituals you guys have?

    I pray to Jesus and sing koom ba ya before every workout.

    Just kidding....

    I watch bodybuilding videos as well to get me the mood sometimes. I don't do it on a routine basis all of the time, but there have been weeks where I've watched parts of the same video everyday.

    My usual routine is to eat a small meal about 30 minutes before and listen to music. Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull and Rush works best for me.

    I'm curious to see what other people do as well.

    I get to the gym knowing it is time to put in the work, I got my playlist on my Ipod I get set I go in front of the mirror and I forget about everything else in the world except for focusing on getting bigger.

    Same here, I get pumped up just by reading some posts.
    As far as the mind-set goes, hah, I wanna look like a diamond in two years, I want to look great, so if I won't get my ass up and workout, keep my diet etc, I won't reach that goal, not even close. So as far as staying motivated, I picture myself the way I want to look, this is enough for me.

    hypothetically, I would pop an ephedra tab and listen to some Metallica until Im good and pissed off. Hypothetically

    Ok Im lying, what I really do is put in my old worn out tape of pumping iron and wack it to Arnolds bulging biceps.

    Kidding only kidding, Dont want to piss off Arnold.

    Break out the training log and get mentally psyched to push past last weeks lifts.

    I could train in total silence if I had to, it's all in the head.

    when i lifted in my basement i had a picture of myself looking small and weak and a picture of arnold from a mag taped to the wall next to each other. i would look at it during or in between sets and grunt it out.

    Ditto

    If you need an external source of motivation you're in the wrong sport.

    I get up and go...that's all there is to it.
