What motivates you besides your own quest for numbers or size? We all want to be better, we all want to be stronger and most of us would love to improve each year. Sometimes that path is a cursed one because you are never good enough for yourself, you can always improve and you have days when you feel you will never get better. So what pushes you when you have those days? My answer is simple. It isnt seeing big lifts, impressive physiques or amazing athletic performances. I could give a shit what someone else lifts or does to be honest. I just dont care to compare myself to anyone. They stand on their own, and I stand on my own. What is motivating to me is seeing people set foot in a gym that dont fit the mold; its the outcasts, the skinny kids, the geeks and the ones who were picked last in gym class. Its when those people step up to the bar amongst a crowd they really dont feel comfortable around and take the first steps to creating their new physical ideal for themselves. I will bet that a lot of you were that kid at one point. Lifting and bodybuilding is an outcast activity for the most part. Many people who partake in it have their own inner battles to go through and those battles have powered their way through hard workouts. That shit motivates me, not the genetically gifted guy who breaks records, but the person who dares take that first step with just a 45 pound bar.
