Need motivation? Here's what to do.....

jbennett Posts: 1,558 Joined: 2001/02/28	2002/09/23, 09:27 PM Take a couple of pictures of yourself and submit them to FT. That in itself has motivated me to bust my @$$ and get bigger. Just looking at my pics I see soooo many 'weak' areas that I need to work on, especially my abs. Of course, I don't do anything for my abs right now, but I think I'll start. I'm not flexing at all in the pics, but I'm still not happy. Sorry, folks. Just venting.......... ---------------------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!"

I do this all the time, and find myself really starting to work those areas. Good post! This is an excellent way to make gains. Use yourself for motivation.

All food is weighted and I know excactly how many grams of proteins etc that I'm eating. It keeps me on the track. Good luck with your comp bb1!!!!!!! -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.
