Found some nice motivation topic

Hi, everybody.
Continuing our talks of motivation ,here is very cool bodybuilding motivation discussion.
It mentions valid points , while discussing psychological problems of hard workout. Highly advised reading.
I am implementing these advices in my life. Not only in bodybuilding area, but also in boxing ( yes , I do that too). I have nice gloves, mouth protector (the "hobby item" part), have friends, have specific goals,and so on. Go ahead, don't be shy, read it.
As always, if you have any questions regard this matter - feel free to leave comments.

Bodybuilding motivation.

Motivation is not to be underestimated. Most people fail building their body because they quit in the middle.
This is human nature - we want everything fast,easy and lots of it. Just like lottery.
Sports has some catch in this matter - when we first start training, our results are high. We loose water from our muscles - our weight goes down with it. It's a serious motivation boost, we are happy, we want to train more.
The next stage - our sluggish bodies begin to take shape (because they only needed this little push) - another motivation boost.
But then comes the hard part. Now you suddenly realize, that the more you advance - more effort you have to put in it. And slowly,slowly, our motivation decays. All it takes to get into this situation is 3-4month, then we are semi-satisfied with the results, and most of people quit.
But try to think - have you achieved your goals? Are you pumped with muscles, strong, have 10% body fat, and your bench-press is 150kg? Probably not.

Lets work on your motivation, then.
First of all - mindset. It is strange, yet proven - get yourself some accessory. For example - bodybuilding t-shirts. When you put on yourself one of those - you feel halfway there. It is your special bodybuilding t-shirt , and if you put it on - you are on your way to the gym,and nothing is stopping you. Definitely worked for me.
Another point - a habit. Set yourself a goal , 3 times a week, Monday,Tuesday,Thursday, at 20:00 - you are off to gym. (Choose the days, that are comfortable to you, I just randomly picked three). When it becomes your steady habit, it is much easier later on.
A friend. Meet somebody , who is also heavily into bodybuilding. You can share your progress, your workout details, your plans, diet, everything. You'll see, how a hobby partner motivates you to continue.
Set yourself a goal. Most people just go to gym, and they want "to get bigger". It doesn't work this way - you have to set yourself a clear goal. "90kg, 10% body fat, 120kb bench-press". This is a clear goal, and until you are not there - you'll keep going and going. That's our human nature, we have to complete defined goals.

Be big, be strong, and prosper!
