[IronandGravity]

"Pumping Iron" and "Ronnie Coleman: Unbelievable" were very motivating factors. And tons of ideas from this board.

i started for footballin 8th grade....... then in 10th i wanted to change my body......... body is very different now, i reached my goal of being a normal even "ripped" kid (thats what my school calls anyone with any muscle at all, its pathetic) now im on my first bulking cycle and i now know that im hooked for life. this board motivates me a ton too!!!!

The gym is what motivates me, the people I see there all the time, the challenge each time to lift as good or better than last, just the whole atmosphere, I get withdrawels if I can't make it to the gym.
Also, I get motivated when I see someone much bigger and stronger than me repping out massive weight... makes me think "I got a lot of work to do".

I was a little skinny kid that always got picked on. In junior high a group of kids always harrassed me and pushed me down in the mud. I started lifting weights to put some muscle on me.

I used to watch "Incredible Hulk" and I always wished I had David Banner's problem. I thought it would be great to get huge and throw the bullies around.

Media glorifies guys with good physiques. Hence my humble begginings.

My motivation is to crush my enemies, to see them driven before me and to hear the lamentation of the women.
