October is motivation month please join in fellas
 

Do not fear change.

If you fear change you will stay in the same place doing the same things. Never be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try something different. The more you succeed, the more change will occur. One thing I make sure to do in my own life is to avoid becoming complacent with things as they are. I like to make constant progress and improvements in my life, even if it’s just in small increments.
You will never know how great you can be if you refuse to try things you have never done before.

“Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.” – John F. Kennedy

on the back of that one

Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle; You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

Make small goals that lead to bigger ones.

You cannot expect to set one major goal and just go out and accomplish it. Things take a lot of work and you can very quickly overwhelm yourself. Set small, attainable goals that lead up to your main goal. For instance, if you want to one day become a competitive bodybuilder, you can’t just lift weights and “pow” you’re on stage. Your progress comes in small increments that build to something better. Set reachable goals that you can accomplish fairly quickly. Seeing constant positive results will make it that much easier to see things to the end.

“I don’t focus on what I’m up against. I focus on my goals and I try to ignore the rest.” – Venus Williams.

Man, this was a good one.

HM October challange: get out of your comfort zone! Do something new, be it in personal life, business or bodybulding!

October - new month, new routine. Thanks for the reminder fellas. Only 3 more months left in 2015, time to make it count.

Don’t be afraid to succeed.

On the other end of the spectrum we have people who are afraid of success. It seems strange but it is understandable. Once you have succeeded in completing your mission it can put you in a very unfamiliar place.
You have worked so hard with one goal in mind and now that you have accomplished it you may not know where to go. Once you have found your success you have to also maintain it. Many people do not plan for what happens once they make it.
You need keep making goals and always work on improving things. Never become complacent or you might just find yourself right back where you started.

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” – Thomas A. Edison

"The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds."
Rollins

always change up your routine in the gym, your muscles will always get use to the same exercises, I would recommend that you change it up every 2-3 months at least, hit each muscle from different angles, keep your muscles guessing, this will keep things from getting boring and keep you motivated, also always start with the weakest side and the weakest muscle first

Don’t be afraid to fail.

In order to become great at something you will no doubt fail many, many times. The process of failing and learning from your mistakes is pivotal in mastering whatever it is that you are after. Many people are so engrossed in the idea of succeeding that they view any kind of setback as the end of their journey to success. Just because you fail at something does not mean you can’t eventually become great at it. It takes time, effort, and most importantly patience. If you fear failing you won’t even give yourself the chance to succeed.

“Men learn little from success, but much from failure.” – Old proverb.

Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.

John F. Kennedy

"My body is like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I don't think about it, I just have it."*

•The worst thing you can be is average.

•Go hard or go home.

•EAT BIG, LIFT BIG, GET BIG!

•When it starts to hurt, thats when the set starts.

"I was always interested in proportion and perfection. When I was fifteen, I took off my clothes and looked in the mirror. When I stared at myself naked, I realized that to be perfectly proportioned I would need twenty-inch arms to match the rest of me."*
- Arnold Schwarzenegger*

The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it-as long as you really believe 100 percent.*
- Arnold Schwarzenegger!*

Good things don't happen by coincidence. Every dream carries with it certain risks, especially the risk of failure. But I am not stopped by risks. Suppose a great person takes the risk and fails. Then the person must try again. You cannot fail forever. If you try ten times, you have a better chance of making it on the eleventh try than if you didn't try at all."*

Suffer now and live the rest of your life a champion. - Muhammad Ali

This is my body. And I can do whatever I want to it. I can push it. Study it. Tweak it. Listen to it. Everybody wants to know what I'm on. What am I on? I'm on my bike busting my balls six hours a day. What are you on? - Lance Armstrong

Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.*

The single biggest mistake that most beginners make is putting 100% of their effort into the positive (concentric) part of the rep, while paying no attention to the negative (eccentric) segment.” – Dorian Yates

Sell yourself short on nutrition and you’re selling yourself short on maximizing your physique development.” – Ernie Taylor

If you don’t follow a good nutritional plan, you’re bodybuilding with one arm behind your back. – Shawn Ray

Learned helplessness is the giving-up reaction, the quitting response that follows from the belief that whatever you do doesn't matter.*

Modern bodybuilding is ritual, religion, sport, art, and science, awash in Western chemistry and mathematics. Defying nature, it surpasses it.
Camille Paglia


A goal without a plan is just
A WISH

This is motivation in a funny way...haha. Here is a quote to:

Amateurs train until the get it right...Professionals train until they can't get it wrong.

•Only you get out, what you put in


•If you dont live for something you’ll die for nothing


•You must do what others don’t, to achieve what others won’t

“He who fears he will suffer, already suffers because he fears.”

“Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes.”

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

“If you want happiness for an hour – take a nap. If you want happiness for a day – go fishing. If you want happiness for a year – inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a life time – help someone else.”

“Challenges is what makes life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.”

“Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.”

“Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.”

“Many people are passionate, but because of their limiting beliefs about who they are and what they can do, they never take actions that could make their dream a reality”

“True success is overcoming the fear of being unsuccessful.”

“The only way that we can live is if we grow. The only way we can grow is if we change. The only way we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we are exposed is if we throw ourselves into the open.”

“If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.”

“A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.”

“I would rather die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life.”

and the last one especially for "andyebs"

“Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.”

some good ones there CC

love the last one :)

I never set limits or created mental barriers. You may have read that I imagined my biceps as big as mountain peaks when I did my curling exercises. This visualization process was essential if I was to gain the kind of mass and size I needed to win the Mr. Olympia contest against monsters like Sergio Oliva and Lou Ferrigno ...*
