just started mine to
the benefits... personally I think that people get more motivated to get more serious about their shit. u have already started ur journey and if u abandon ur thread u`ll be the looser with motivation that went nowhere. if u lie about something u feel like this looser, and if we learn something here that is to prove to ourselves. so what do we have so far... you can`t lie, you can`t walk away.. what`s left? to sit on ur ass and eat ur fucking nutrition food and train insane! it motivates me when I think of it like that "wait a sec, I can`t disapoint the guys there, that means I disapoint myself".
also... u can always follow the steps of someone more superior. I don`t think it`s hard to find some pro`s "journey" and learn something. after all this is all about learning how to perfecting the body/strength/speed etc., and the best way to do it is to cooperate, understand and be kind witch each other. it`s a brotherhood for fucks sake, we all share 1 little thing...
From one place to another... Knowing where you are and knowing where you want to go... A lesson we all need to learn in life. I've started and stopped logs so many times, it unbelievable! Looking at what I've done, depresses me and jolts me back into action! Life is a journey and not a 100m dash. Look, learn and listen to find the inner beast! We are all in this together!
I've never been one who liked to keep a journal.. Liked to do what I did and just go with how I felt. Worked great for years. Now that I'm older and trying to get back into it, it has helped me keep motivated. Kind of like having a training partner even though I workout alone in my basement. I now have someone to answer to besides me. This site and the fellow Animals on it have helped me tremendously. Without having a Journey I might slack off.

This afternoon I wasn't able to finish the last part of my workout, so I noted in my thread that I would have to finish it tonight. Knowing that this is out there for people to see, I had to make sure I got it done, not only for myself, but so someone doesn't read it and wonder if I followed through.
Hey, how about recognizing good journeys? Maybe highlighting them or offering prizes for really great ones?
I just finished reading Wrath's 18 week Journey and, unless I misinterepted him, he said he didn't keep track of his workouts. I found that to be funny since at the end of the book there is a place to keep those records. I've always tried to keep a log of my workouts just so I could keep track of my gains and plateaus. Hopefully coming up with a solution for the latter. It should be interesting to see if keeping My Journey on here will bring me the extra ass kickings I need to get me to where I need to be. I'll start on Monday. Thanks again guys.
I think it's a great idea, motivation for yourself and for others..
Keeps you on track
A journey is a good motivation, the road is long
I have been eating clean and exercising for about 10 months now. Im 29 years old. I have been obese pretty much my whole life. Never exercised, didnt know what eating right meant. Then 2 years ago my wife of 5 years was diagnosed with cancer at 27 years old. She beat it, and we started looking for a new start at life. In the last 10 months, my wife has lost 50 lbs, and i have lost 60 lbs. I am actually thinking of starting a career in nutrition. We have been eating right and exercising. I now have a 6 day program of 3 days of weights, and 3 days of cardio. Also, i ride a stationary bike for 20 mins after all my weightlifting days. So my cardio is actually 6 days a week. I take Animal Pak, Cuts, Omega, Flex, and Pump. So far, my results are great in leaning out and getting rid of my excessive belly fat. And I do mean alot of belly fat. Any help would be great to hear. Thank you for hearing me out.
yeah thats a great ideal.
i have a journey to eep me motivated, and it helps me track down my mistakes alot more easier
Hey guys im new here and looking to start my own journey. Im 5"9' and 142 lbs. Can someone set me on the right path to gaining some muscle and strength for a reasonable beginner.
I was once told that everyday you walk into the gym you need to break yourself down so your body can build back up when your resting. I was told this by a guy who was 6 3" 235 lbs and looked like a beast. Everyday you go to the gym make sure you leave knowing you couldnt do any more, eat enough so you can grow and get plenty of rest. Im 5 9" myself and was under 150lbs less than 3 yrs ago, Im now around 180lbs and owe it all to being consistant in the gym and learning everyday. When i need ideas i come to places like Animal or I watch the bigger guys in the gym and learn from them.
Now I know this isn't for everybody, but there are countless benefits to having a "journey" log here on the Forvm. Not only does it serve a purpose for you to track your own progress throughout the year but it gives everyone an oppurtunity to grow. Since we all come from different journey , iot of experience, Real journey meanings to go anywhere and look lot of place and understand importants of the place .Really happyiness journey with friend because look different place and enjoy with the friends. I like long time journey.It's a great way to learn and to grow, period journey.
Pretty new to not only the whole hardcore body fitness, but also to the internet forvm. This exprience has been nothing but spectacular. The whole idea of posting your journey was a stroke of sheer genius. Like I said, I'm new, but within mins of being on here I was already being coached on how I could make things better. How little changes here and there would make more sense to equal bigger gains. Feedback is awesome and just reading about others makes you want to push more.
Keep up the awesome work guys!
I love getting inspiration from looking at other guys journals! The amount of weights some of these guys lift (Boss, Higa, Guns, P Diesel etc) it's just amazing!
Awesome to see people evolve from where they started to where and how they ended up. Sort of a cross reference study on how to improve training, the most important thing for me is keeping the consistency high..nothing like working your ass off for results.
