My new mantra:
The burn is the penance for the sins of my past
The beat is my heart growing harder and stronger
The body I build is the soul that I feel
My willpower is indomitable
My progress is unstoppable
My resolve is unbreakable
My birthright is mine to claim

This motivates me, do you have a mantra /fit/?

Lo there do I see my father. Lo there do I see
My mother, and my sisters, and my brothers.
Lo there do I see
The line of my people
Back to the beginning.
Lo they do call to me.
They bid me take my place among them.
In the halls of Valhalla, where the brave
May live
forever.

I just grunt and yell cusses to help lift some weights. Nothing works quite like a loud "FUUCCCCCKKKK" during squatz to get that bar up.

I just work out.

Then again, I don't work out like most people here. I use Pavel's theories and then do HIIT. Working out that way isn't even that hard. Sure, you're sore as shit the next day . . . but there's no pushing to failure and shit like that.

I say "I can do this" a few times, grunt, then do what I just claimed to be able to do.

it may sound gay and cliched but I always tell myself 'let's fucking do this' in the mirror as I am about to start. Of course, this is all in my head, I don't actually blurt it out.

It wouldn't be gay if you went right up to the mirror, split your lungs screaming it then smashed the mirror with your fist.

This is actually mine, just the line "Steel is my body, and fire is my blood." I repeat that in my head before a big lift.

I always say to myself, and this has never been proven wrong in my life "When the choice is between weakness and strength, strength is the only option"

When I choose the opinion of weakness and say play games, all I have to do is remind myself that the path which leads to strength is always the right one.

I am the bone of my legs
Iron is my body, and protein is my blood
I have done over a thousand lunges
Unknown to failure
Nor known to defeat
Having withstood pain to lift heavy weights
Yet these hands will never bench anything
So as I pray, UNLIMITED SQUATS WORKS!

What is best in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you and hear the lamentations of the women!

The strong do what they have the power to do, and the weak accept what they have to accept.

No, but really, it's basically me telling myself: COME ON! and playing the lyrics from a Lamb of God song for some reason.

it's hard to not make this sound like faggoty emo teenager shit.

I like to focus on the pain that I get on the cusp of a set and then tell myself '...we're not fucking done, give me one more'

Pain just means you arent working hard enough.
When you transcend that and all you can feel or think about is how hard you are trying, Then you deserve a mantra

I know this'll be pretty lame but i constantly think about Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

Whenever something gets tough and I want to quit, I hear Libra me from Hell and I mentally tell myself to KICK REASON TO THE CURB and to DRILL ON WITH A STRONG BACK AND A FIERY HEART!

Kamina is my mental drill (lol pun) instructor who always tells me to believe in myself and realize my spiral power.

Now that someone else has admitted to this, I'm going to say that I actually do this as well.

Whenever I feel like I can't finish up that last squat, I think to myself "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!" and then I fucking explode like GOD DAMN.

When I was going to the gym regularly with some buds we had a bet to see who could increase their squat max by the most in one day. The losers had to treat winner to a dozen doughuts from Krispy Kreme.

As a side effect of winning I always yell "WHERE'S MY DOUGHNUTS BITCH?" when I'm trying to get the last few reps up.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I think about all kinds of stupid crap that never actually happens. I used to think about learning to breakdance as motivation when doing shoulder work. I still can't dance, but my shoulders are better.

Plus... he's a cartoon. Bruce Lee's body is functionally impossible for me, no well in hell I'm gonna match someone who doesn't even have to obey physics.
