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 on here and read the new posts. That is about all I need
i scroll to a little cock and ball torture on the ol mp3 player.. the sound of satan will get you ready for anything lol
Just think "ok lets do it train hard it'll pay off" plus you always feel alot better when you train hard.... might sound stuiped but it works
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.

edit the rec drug ref guys.
I listen To DMX.
i pass a mirror every time when i'm leaving my house and tell myself how much of a pussy i am..negative self image seems 2 help. and in the gym my workout partner tells me i'm a pussy, then i just get mad.
i just jam the mp3's. you guys should check out a jam called rock superstar by cypress hill. no no, its not a rap jam. its more like a biohazard/ice t jam.
pumps me up good. the lyrics are "psyched"....did i spell that right?
Listen to some bay area music (aka hyphy music) and get a mental picture in my head of what i want to look like
oh yeah, search for MAC DRE ... His beats will pump you up, guaranteed!
Same here, I get pumped up just by reading some posts.Originally Posted by Triple X
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.
mavsluva right on man, thats definately gonna push me today in the gym, also makes me appreciate the soreness i am able to feel and appreciate the pain. We are all blessed
i'm afraid to look at it

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.
