"Victory is reserved for those who are willing to pay it's price."
--Sun Tzu

Defeat is a state of mind. No one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality. To me, defeat in anything is merely temporary, and its punishment is but an urge for me to greater effort to achieve my goal. Defeat simply tells me that something is wrong in my doing; it is a path leading to success and truth.
— Bruce Lee

When you come to the edge of all the light you know, and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: There will be something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly

"You haven't failed until you've failed to try" - not so much BB, but applies to most everything.

"Anything worth doing is worth doing right" - just something my father always said. It applied to play as well as work - even taking out the garbage :D
 
'My instinct was to win, eliminate anyone who is in competition, destroy my enemy, and move on without any kind of hesitiation at all.'
-Arnold

"Experiencing this pain in my muscles and aching and going on and on is my challenge. The last three or four reps is what makes the muscles grow. This area of pain divides a champion from someone who is not a champion. That's what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they'll go through the pain no matter what happens. I have no fear of fainting. I do squats until I fall over and pass out. So what? It's not going to kill me. I wake up five minutes later and I'm OK. A lot of other athletes are afraid of this. So they don't pass out. They don't go on."
-Arnold

"Nothing is impossible to a willing mind"
- Books of Han Dynasty

"the only way to be a champion is by going through these forced reps and the torture and pain. that's why i call it the torture routine. because it's like forced torture. torturing my body. what helps me is to think of this pain as pleasure. pain makes me grow. growing is what i want. therefore for me, pain is pleasure. and so when i experience pain i'm in heaven. it's great. people suggest this is masochistic. but they're wrong. i like pain at a particular moment for a particular reason. i don't like needles stuck in my arm. but i do like the pain that i necessary to be a champion."
-Arnold

"The worst thing I can be is the same as everybody else. I hate that."
-Arnold

It sure sounds like a contest for the best quote!

There are a lot of mind pearls that could give us guidance in our quest to improve our life style or enlighten our spirit and enhance our very own mojo.

There are so many quotes that I was not aware of and by starting this thread ,all I can say ,is that by reading your quotes guys , my general knowledge has improved a bit.

Hope that all of us could learn something from those wise quotes. I do!

Keep bringing them on!


Teaching others theaches yourself!!So much truth in it!!!
 
This one is by citruscide it pushes me to try and rech that place:

but I kept going, to a place I really haven't been before a place where all you see is RED, all you hear is your inner-most animalistic urges to destroy, to dominate the weights and own them.

Today, I left the gym knowing I had owned those dumbbells for those destructive minutes... where a war was being fought... For those momenets I wasn't myself, I was an animal.
 
I think it was B-Fold that said something along the lines like:

"Find your weakness, and destroy it. "

That's been a good one for me.

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat." Theodore Roosevelt

I think Steve Reeves is a stronger man than he was before his accident. "stronger" is a relative term. So you never know.

Can you post up the whole quote for me?
 
I remember this from someone's post not sure who On your intensity on leg day--

"If you dont feel like you're gonna puke by the time you leave, you WASTED YOUR TIME"
 
"Pay backs are a bitch"

remember that one, I think it used to be on tank tops or something in the old M&F mags. I always cracked a smile. A lot of us lift because we want to be bad A$$ and don't want people to f with us. Some of us want to pay back people who did f w/ us.
 
Don't lift HEAVY anymore!! (post #1)

so says the wall street journal:

Heavy weightlifting can prove danger
By Kevin Helliker, The Wall Street Journal
March 17, 2003

As a fitness trainer and health fanatic, Michael Logan knew that weight lifting could strengthen his bones and protect his heart.

What he didn't know was that it could be lethal. Logan had a bulge in his primary artery, the aorta. Knowledge of that bulge, or aneurysm, would have prompted doctors to allow only light-weight lifting. But like the vast majority of people with aneurysms, Logan didn't know he had one.

So he continued heavy-weight lifting — until an aortic aneurysm killed him last June at age 46.

"It's very surprising that something he did for his health might have hurt him," says Mike Logan, the late Chicago trainer's son.

In a nation obsessed with looks and fitness, weight lifting is the latest workout craze. Recent studies have shown that lifting can lower blood pressure, combat diabetes and strengthen bones. Bookstore shelves are teeming with new fitness tomes touting weight lifting. Over the three years ended in 2001, participation in weight lifting in the U.S. has risen 12 percent — while aerobic exercise declined 2 percent, according to American Sports Data Inc.

Now, however, a small but growing number of researchers are raising concerns about the safety of lifting heavy weights. Such lifting can trigger strokes and aneurysms, and perhaps even cause a highly fatal arterial disease called dissection, believe doctors at prominent health centers such as Yale University School of Medicine and the Stanford University Medical Center.

Aneurysms alone kill 32,000 Americans a year, making them as big a killer as prostate cancer, and a more common killer than brain cancer or AIDS. Especially vulnerable to aneurysm and other arterial conditions are senior citizens — a group that has been urged to take advantage of the bone-strengthening effects of weight lifting.

Aneurysm experts express little concern about moderate- to light-weight lifting. Some define light as an amount that can be lifted 60 times, in four sets of 15. A leading aneurysm researcher and surgeon, John Elefteriades of the Yale University School of Medicine, recommends that people older than 40 bench-press no more than half their body weight. Equally important is breathing regularly during exercise to minimize spikes in blood pressure.

Aneurysms aren't the only concern for heavy-weight lifters. Vascular experts say it can induce stroke as well as dissection, in which the inner lining of the aortic artery separates from the outer walls.

Heavy-weight lifting can spike blood pressure to dangerous heights. In maximum-effort lifting, which pits a participant against the most weight he can hoist one time, studies have shown that blood pressure rises to as high as 370/360 from a resting rate of 130/80. Conventional blood-pressure monitors can't even measure levels higher than 300. "At that level, nobody would be surprised if you had a stroke," says Franz Messerli, a hypertension specialist at the Ochsner Clinic Foundation in New Orleans.

John Robertson witnessed just such an event one day when he was lifting weights as a medical student. Lifting beside Robertson was a fellow medical student who suddenly keeled over backward. A vessel in his brain had ruptured. The student was rushed to the hospital and survived.

"During the time that you're lifting, the pressure on the artery wall is intense," says Robertson, chief of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery at St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif.

Doctors have long suspected that the steep blood-pressure spikes arising from heavy-weight lifting could trigger ruptures of already weakened vessels. Now, suspicion is growing that such lifting can damage healthy vessels. Yale's Elefteriades has shown in a lab experiment that intense pressure can induce dissection, often requiring emergency open-heart surgery.

Dissection typically occurs in older adults, or those who have a family history or who suffer from a syndrome called Marfan's disease. Yet Elefteriades has treated two young dissection victims who had none of the traditional risk factors but who were heavy-weight lifters. Similarly, a study conducted at Los Angeles County Harbor-UCLA Medical Center profiled four men (aged 22, 34, 37 and 57) who entered the emergency room suffering dissection — all heavy-weight lifters. Steriod use may increase the risk.

One option for anyone older than 60 or with a family history of aneurysms or dissection is to get scanned before starting a lifting program. Most aneurysms and dissections can be detected by CT scans. Also, an inexpensive ultrasound test can detect the abdominal aortic aneurysm, which ranks as the nation's 13th-leading cause of death.

What also motivates me is not a quote, but more a situation.

what I did last summer was embarrass myself playin basketball when I was really out of shape, thats enough by itself. Also did it this year, but in all fairness I hadnt touched a basketball in almost a year. My desire to beat other people and be stronger, faster, and smarter is what drives me to want to suceed, and thru pain comes pleasure of beating your opponent.

I love that one.

I love these also:

"Some people dream of success. Others wake up and work hard for it."

"If you know where your going, and you know how to get there. You will never be intimidated by the present".

I don't know the origins of these quotes.
