Hi I was just wondering if anyone else here trains with a pro. At my gym Sean Bulldog Dinosaur Davis likes to train. I dont know if you people have heard of him but im sure you can find him on the web if you search.
I think it is a real motivater to have someone such as that training at a gym even if you dont train along side him theres still a big reminder of what you can do if you train, eat and sleep hard enough.

It's always nice to have somebody to watch up to.... It motivates and inspires.
It doesn't really have to be a pro.
I had a WABBA World Champion training in my gym for 2 weeks (on holidays!) and yes it really was of big happiness for all the gym members!! (((o;

Whatever you believe in you can accomplish with time and persistence.

You know Philia2 is right it doesn't have to be a Pro for motivation....it takes a pro to use themselves as motivation...when one can do that I believe they are a pro. To get to any level you can't compare yourself to the guy next to you, his genetics are totally different than yours even if you are the same size, age, and lift the same weight. The only person you should be comparing yourself to is yourself...i think pros have mastered this and that is why they recieve the title......don't get me wrong though, it's always nice to have a big shot around to ask a few questions.

i train alone and have no idea who is training along side me. I couldnt give a shit if dorian Yates is on the bench next to me, all that matters is what i DO in the gym.
Have fun and stay focused....
