grab a picture of someone you want to look like and put it on the wall near your bed so it's the first thing you see when you wake up and the last thing you see when you wake up.

Also get another picture of that same person and put it on your fridge just so when you get the cravings you know what's up.

other than that.. you've just got to convince yourself that you really fukkin want it and don't quit till you get there.

If this game was easy, everyone who lifted would look a bit like the young Schwarzenegger

You say you dont feel like it and sometimes skip a week.

Dude, theres been tons of times Ive gone into the gym feeling like crap. Sometimes I put in only %60 but I do it anyway. Its better than nothing, and I still always come out feeling pumped up and better for it.

At times for me, the hardest part is when you start talking yourself out of going to the gym. I dont feel like it. Its raining outside. blah blah blah. But once you start driving there/get inside the gym you forget about it, right? Everybody else is doing their thing and you get right too it. Its just that speed bump between thinking about it and doing it.

So Ive realized this part of myself and just grab my gym bag and go. Instead of thinking about this great body I want and putting pressure on myself about it, I just dont think about it. Its just another habit, like showering in the morning or like having to go to work. Its just something that I have scheduled in the day.

Iunno, at first i wasn't too enthusiastic about working out, but then i started doing it regularly, and saw some gains, that was some motivation for me.

However, the few days after working out just give me a confidence boost, i feel great right after a workout, and the couple days after. Iunno what, its just like kind of an addiction. I try to go every week, or else i think im gonna feel like sh*t for the rest of the week. My motivation is trying to not feel like sh*t.

Think of all of the rewards that you will savor. Off the charts self-esteem, pride in your hard work and discipline. Not to mention lots of admiration. Either MAKE your mind control your body or your body will alway tell your mind that it's too tired or doesn't feel like it.

Also bring music with you! I like playing tunes on my MP3/CD player, but will soon get one of those Nike units you can strap on the arm so I can run with it!

Music pumps you up for an even better workout.

Try to run on trails because you don't have to worry about cars and it's less stressful on your joints.

Make sure you eat good and get 8 hrs of sleep so you don't feel tired. Read the guide to bulking by Diesel. Once you see results then that there is enought to keep you going. I'm hooked.

Those of us hardcore lifters lift not because we want to, because we have to.

If I go without the gym for 2 or more days, I invariably end up punching a hole in the wall, or getting worked up and aggressive very easily. I gotta get the debbil outta me.
