Your favorite Animal "quote"

[dIdDy]

"I have the balls and the determination to destroy anyone or anything that gets in my way... I am the hard line that separates determination from insanity."

-Machine

[Angst]

My favorite is "Why ask why?" by either Machine or Schak

[gnoll5]

"if you have to tell someone how good you are, you ain't that good" - don't remember who wrote it, Wrath or G i think.

[Evaniel]

"The only thing you are guaranteed at birth is death. You have a right to that. The rest is earned."

Either G or Machine; I can't recall which.

[brewtality]

Obsessed is a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated.

[wño]

"Shut the fuck up.. and train"

[Barron]

Stay uncomfortable, be distressed, stay under the knife. If you find yourself sitting down, stand up. If you find yourself walking, run. If you find yourself trying, stop trying and start fucking doing. If you are sleeping soundly and wandering pleasantly through dreamland, WAKE THE FUCK UP.



-Veritas-

[Black-Jack]

“What do I do? I’m a bodybuilder & yeah, it’s a job. Only the day doesn’t start at 9 & it won’t end at 5. It starts from the time I open my eyes to the time I shut them. It’s not a 5 day work week. I live it 24/7... This is a job. This is my life.”

The Haves vs. Have-nots one. Its hanging on the wall in my room. Last week there was a huge snowstorm on my leg day. I was debating walking to the gym in the blizzard when I read that the "have-nots make excuses to skip training: the weather, a flat tire." So I walked my ass to the gym only to find that it was closed. Fuckers.

Growing up, I don’t know how many times I heard this… ‘You are what you eat.’ Fuck that shit. If that were true, I’d be a cow. Yeah, a big fucking cow with an oatmeal tail, yams for horns, and eggs for hooves. What a fucking sight that would be.

"When I first dreamed of competing one day and took my fucking game to the next level, my training partner said, “Hold on, Wrath.” He couldn’t keep up. Maybe he didn’t want to…"

"When you’re lying under a thick stack of plates, you aren't any different than the guy next to you who’s busting his ass. Shit, you could be Elvis Presley for all the weights care—they don’t give a shit who you are. They’ll try to bury you just the same. Business is business and pleasure is pleasure. But in this candy store, business is pleasure and pleasure comes from taking care of business."

"The pain. It washes over me, wave after wave. My senses reel. Yeah, I could drop it all, walk away from this burden. Instead, I grit my teeth, catch my breath, and plow forward."

"Though the pain may come over you, never let it overcome you."

personally, one of my favorites came from a FAQ:

Q: As my biceps get bigger, I’ve developed stretch marks on them. How do I get rid of them?

A: Your kiddin’ me right? You’re concerned about stretch marks? Most guys would cut their balls off to have stretch marks on their arms, especially the bicep. The guys I talk to all want to know how they can get bigger arms. If you have stretch marks, it means that your arms have grown. Who gives a flying fuck about stretch marks? Know what? If your worried about growing and getting stretch marks, then I have an idea: Why don't you take up knitting instead? This way you don't have to worry about that kinda’ shit. The only things you'll have to worry about are patterns and yarn colors.

everytime I see these adds in the mags and shit I can't help but be in awe at the depth of the quotes. I cant choose just one they all have inspired me to become better

[Mr.Hardcore98]

shut the fuck up and train!!!

[broomellk]

"At least I always know what I'm gonna wear in the mornings and it reads XXXL. Simplicity... There ain’t nothing wrong with that. Bodybuilding is more than just lifting. Bodybuilding is living. Fuck yeah." - Wrath

[Melkvik]

The unmotivated. The weak. The ones that always have an excuse for why they have not yet reached their goals. You know the type_ of person I’m talking about. The “could have been”, the “should have been”, the “almost was something” type_. Are you one of them?

[Rooster]

"Shut the fuck up.. and train"

This says it all. There are a million words in the world, but this sums up the entire idea.

[smoph197]

"so why do you do it? fame? glory? getting some ass? thats just the icing...you do it because you have something to prove to yourself. This life, this trip, this journey...its about enlightenment.

I can't tell you how important that shirt is for me! I have two but as soon as funds are a little better I want to buy three more that are about two sizes bigger so I can wear my long john shirt under it in the winter.

[Guardian]

"You want everyone leaving there to be afraid to train with you. “Fuck that, I ain't training with Schak.” Those are the words I love to hear."

"Just because you train like an Animal doesn't mean you should look like an asshole doing it..... Be humble and people will respect you. They may not want to train with a sick fuck like yourself but they will at least respect you."

-both quotes by JH aka Schak

[BODYBUILDER532]

DEFINATLY "Im not here to talk" that one is the stuff!!


Whos the guy in the ANIMAL log in the pic with "OVERCOME" tatooed on his forarm that i think the best inspirational tatoo iv seen so far!

[Apollos]

Can they defeat you? Can they beat you? There is a difference between the two, you know. I feel the eyes on me. I smell the fear on these bitches. Some talk hard, but when it’s time to get it poppin’ they’re ghost. No matter what happens we walk hard. Fuck that… WE STOMP. We slap faces that have traces of smart ass. We walk together, an ARMY of soldiers. In the game to rip off the top half and let them know that the law of the jungle is the only code that matters. We eat dirt so the rest of the world knows that they don’t own hate...

Every time I hit up this quote I train twice as hard as the day before. We STOMP brothers.

[TZR]

I'm not sure, but i think this one is from this site
>>> "You won't win if you don't train like a winner..."

[Conquistador]

1. Believe in one person: Yourself. Everything flows from that pool.
2. Don’t be afraid of pain. It will teach you.
3. Define your surroundings; don’t let them define you.
4. Don’t be a fucking pussy. Life hurts. So does loneliness, and so does change. But they are all necessary to your growth.
5. Don’t add extra fat to your diet for calories.
6. Make things happen. Don’t wait for them.
7. Lift for gains, not glory. Control your ego and the weight.
8. Don’t count protein grams from nuts or grains.
9. Quitting is a habit, as is winning and losing. The second two happen to everyone. The first one should never happen to anyone.
10. Lead by example. Never become someone you aren’t proud of.

[vican20]

idk bout quotes but my favorite article is the newest one on the journey, about how lifting is like change in ur pocket, ect. how every single rep may not matter at the time, but eventually it adds up, like change..bla bla but...thats my fav one

[Ricky P]

My two favorite quotes from Wrath:

"I'm not here to stand still and let the dust settle on my shoulders... Possessions, all the shit you collect--these are the things that tie you down, hold you back. In this world, I don't have much--just the clothes on my back and this burning desire in my heart. But that's alright because I'm just passing through... On my way to something bigger."

"The secret is boring, and that's the fucking problem. The secret is consistency. Having the fucking balls, the discipline, to eat and train a certain way day in, day out. The days, the weeks, they all blur together... Do you have what it takes to live a life where every fucking day is just like every other? What you gotta figure out is how to get through it, treat each meal, each rep like it's your last... Yeah, like I said in my last entry, you gotta be able to transform the word “monotony” into “consistency”. If you can do that, then you will understand the secret... The sky will open up and you will have that clarity of vision."




Also have the t-shirt: "I'm not here to talk." I absolutely cannot take people that come to the gym with their cell phones or that sit on a machine that I need to use while they bullshit with their friends. Go to the gym to do work, lift, train. Not to hang out, not to talk.

[PowerBuilder]

Don’t put it off. Get to work now. Believe in yourself and go get what you want. No, don’t just go get it. Attack it and take it cuz it’s yours. Take it cuz you know that in your heart if you don’t, you will never forget that it was there all along for the taking and you just bitched up and let it go...

This gets me pumped not only for the weightroom but for life itself

[Big_Zigga]

Shut the Fuck up and Train
I dont live to eat, I eat to live

My two favorite quotes from Wrath:

“Who am I? Depends on who you ask. Some see nothing more than a mindless monster, an egotistical freak of nature to be pitied or feared. Others see a man guided by a singular purpose. Who am I? As I stand under this hot light and look into this mirror, I see a monster and a man. But I also see a bullied fat kid. A son looking up to his old man. A youth in search of a road. I’ve since found that road and soon, I’ll know how far I’ve gone and who next I’ll become.”

amazin quote for some reason im just in love wit it it hits me perfect even down to the bullied fat kid but now im lookin back and remeberin bc u got to remember to move on

from MR. Lawson in the reader mail... read it and i was hooked...

-On the Shoulders of Giants

Why do I bleed black and white? The other morning, struggling through a brutal session of back after almost a month off fighting tendonitis, I was ready to call it off. I looked around my gym, desperate for something to wake me up. Then I saw them: apparitions of the people who've made me who I am. My mother, my professor, my father, my wife, and my best friend, who died about ten years back. Their gaze bore a weight heavier than any I've ever lifted. And I knew, if I wanted to gaze back, there was no quitting. They wouldn't let me. The best part? They followed me out of that gym, and into the classroom where I teach English, to the Museum where I work, and on. They follow me everywhere, and our footsteps resound like thunder.

[goody19]

"4:27 a.m. .... Why am I here?"

alot of times, im just finishing up a workout at that time... hits home

[Targac21]

"I'm Not Gonna Puke" I went ahead and put this one up because i love various quotes from this site and I hadn't seen this one up but in the journey this is one of my favorite quotes and pictures cause i know how wrath feels. Same meals, every day, every time, on a set regimen. It's hard to force yourself to eat more but in the end it's worth it. I am thinking of getting the smaller poster and putting it on my fridge just for motivation when bulking times get hard.

[ryanlemley1]

Personally I like "I pay my dues everyday, do you?" I don't relate this just to the iron. I relate it to everything. Everything I'm doing now is paying my dues until I reach that ultimate goal of being a well-known sports performance coach for young atheletes. I want to build character and determination in them.

[Mr.Totality]

STFU and train. that is all

[SAMSON]

"Squat til you puke"- loved since the first time i saw the ad, bought the t-shirt three years ago, still wearing it. i love the questions people ask and the wierd looks i get when i wear it.
after that- "real men deadlift"- now my fav exercise and i love the quote.
these two quotes deal with my fav exercises and inspire me to keep going when the sets get heavy and every muscle in my body hurts.

[A-JAX]

"overcome"

[Cr4zYH3aD]

"Get out of my face", with the text below it.

and Pretty much everything, I would say.

" I pay my dues everyday, do you?

Train Hard!!

When you are tired, train harder. When you are weak, push yourself. Don't take anything for granted and don't you dare train like a pussy.

[feelthepain12]

"The only thing you are guaranteed at birth is death. Everything else in life is earned." I think Machine said it but I'm not sure.

[Hoaxy]

"What matters in life is what you do. Not how much shit you can talk. Anytime you want to see me at work, look me up in the weight room and I will show you the meaning of pain and transcending limits. You want to beat me, don't miss a meal, because I won't. Don't quit on a set because I'll always be one set ahead of you. Don't walk out of my gym without leaving your guts spilled on the floor because you can bet your ass, I won't."

Don't remember who said it, but it's awesome...

THE JOURNEY, Week 11, Log 1:

Hold On

When I was an overweight kid just starting out, my ma said, “Hold on, son.” She thought I was too young, supplements too unhealthy. She thought bodybuilding wasn’t a respectable sport, let alone a profession…

When some of my friends starting seeing my level of dedication, all the sacrifices I had to make, they said, “Hold on, man.” Maybe I wasn’t spending enough time partying with them, getting drunk every weekend. Maybe they weren't my friends…

When my past girlfriends learned how serious I was about bodybuilding, they said, “Hold on, baby.” They thought they had to compete against bodybuilding for my attention. They didn’t. But I couldn’t convince them otherwise…

When people on the street looked at me, they said, "Hold on, stranger." They couldn't understand why I wanted to be this big... Why I couldn't eat just one slice of cake when dieting... Why I was doing this to myself. They don't get it now and they never fucking will...

When I first dreamed of competing one day and took my fucking game to the next level, my training partner said, “Hold on, Wrath.” He couldn’t keep up. Maybe he didn’t want to…

After I started lifting, whenever I forgot why I got into this game, I told myself, “Hold on.” I didn't start lifting to get back at the bullies who beat the living shit out of me after school... It wasn't to be cool or popular... It wasn't to get ass.

Why'd I do it then? Shit, I did it for me. I do this because I was born to... It's in my blood. This sport grounds me, gives my life meaning. Listen brothers, this shit is not for the faint of heart. Few can do what it takes. We are among those few. When you feel like you're drowning, catch your breath. When you want to hang it up, stand firm. When you feel like you can’t diet another day, when it’s hard to pick yourself up off the couch, get the fuck up. People will want to knock you down. Temptations will try to hold you back. Obstacles will stand in your way. Smash the fuck through 'em.

This great journey begins with a step... Even if that step is nothing more than learning how to hold on...

I don't care if I die as long as they bury me in a big fuckin box
