The one thing that motivated you to get in shape

[ManBearPig...]

and i mean really in shape.

None of this "i'm gonna drop 10 lbs crap".  I mean like movie star good looks or beach bodies or (if that's your thing) "stage ready".

I'm getting married in a few months and I don't want to be heaving when i'm at the wedding.  I think this will be the one and only time ever i'll take it serious.

Any of you had any of those defining moments?

what a gay thread.

A black and white picture pulled out of Muscle and Fitness of 1974 Arnold Schwarzenegger doing dumbell pull overs. I remember the day like yesterday. My mom said "ughhhhh, do you really want to look like that?". I replied in a smart ass tone "yeah mom i do....". Then as she left the room i picked up the picture and said "yes.... i really do want to look EXACTLY like that" and from that day on i considered myself a bodybuilder. That was a huge turning point in my life.

I have only been bodybuilding one year. I am very seriously considering doing one this year. If i am in shape ill hit one up. If not, i refuse to embarrass myself.

Back in college a couple of friends of mine were going to Florida for Spring Break and I was a bit chubby. I wanted to look good on the beach shirtless and I wanted to shock my friends at my transformation. I had about 5 months and I got the job done by educating myself on contest prep and got cut for the beach. I always was into bodybuilding and lifting though.

you were in my way

Pulling on a pair of size 32 jeans, and realizing that the one time loose fitting jeans, had become to small for me in the waist. At that time, I realized overeating to "bulk" was a waste of time for me. I am one of those people that has a good metabolism, but just adds fat if I eat to much. I gain muscle at the rate I gain it. Overeating does nothing to help me gain more size, then if i just eat what I need to grow and stay leaner. I have since gotten into good shape, and add mass the natural, snail paced way.

Put on a pair of jeans that are too tight and take a shirtless picture of yourself. Take that picture and put it somewhere you see it everyday. That should do it.
