Preparing for failure is like preparing to fail

The only place where success comes before training is in the dictionary.

Hvis alle tænkte på sig selv, så var der tænkt på alle.

The phoenix has been reborn.

The phoenix has been fueled

It's easy to give 100 percent when you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but true warriors give 100 percent when there is no light at all"

Pain is temporary, pride is forever

Pain is weakness leaving the body

"If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you'll find an excuse."

"Be proud, but never satisfied.

Nothing good comes without a sacrifice

The pain you feel today is the strength you will feel tomorrow

Do your workouts as hell to see heaven

Good luck is the result of hard work and preparation

The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That's what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they'll go through the pain no matter what happens.

You're gonna have to go through hell, worse than any nightmare you've ever dreamed. But when it's over, you'll be the one standing. You know what you have to do. DO IT!"

To look good you have to feel bad

Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.”

Train like an animal, to build the beast

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much can you take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth.

Real strength is not being able to benchpress your bodyweight times 2. Real strength is not being able to deadlift 600 pounds. Real strength is being knocked on your knees and then coming back

Death before dishonor

Træn til smerten forsvinder og du ikke kan smage andet end bræk i munden!

You shouldn't train with machines but become one!

There are two kinds of people. Those who give up when the pain comes, and those with a mind to take over

The will is what makes you continue after your body gives up

Is that all you got? Haha, I’ll take your best shot.

Champions are an example of what happens when you leave the plain and average thinking. When you dare to dream and you dare to go after that dream, and you make these thoughts and ideas become something more than just a dream.

You got a dream. You gotta protect it.

Don’t ever let somebody tell you, you can’t do something
People that can’t do something themselves, they wanna tell you, you can’t do it

You want something. Go get it – Period

A total commitment is paramount to reaching the ultimate in performance

A great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.

One man has enthusiasm for 30 minutes, another for 30 days, but it is the man who has it for 30 years who makes a success of his life

Todays preparation determines tomorrow's achievement

Always act as though it were impossible to fail

The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.

Never let your ego get in the way of your progress

You are not tired. Your mind thinks you are tired. Your body is just warming up. Turn down the brain and turn up the weight

I don’t care how many sets/reps you do as long as you give me everything you got. It is ok to fail, it is not ok to give up

“The only way to be a champion is by going through these forced reps and the torture and pain. That’s why I call it the torture routine. Because it’s like forced torture. Torturing my body. What helps me is to think of this pain as pleasure. Pain make me grow. Growing is what I want. Therefore, for me pain is pleasure. And so when I am experiencing pain I’m in heaven. It’s great. People suggest this is masochistic. But they’re wrong. I like pain for a particular reason. I don’t like needles stuck in my arm. But I do like the pain that is necessary to be a champion”

I will not accept ANYTHING I have not worked for. I will not accept any limitations or boundaries others may try and hold me to. I LEAD a path others struggle to follow

The harder I train and better I eat.....the better my genetics seem to get

Cycling is so hard, the suffering is so intense, that it's absolutely cleansing. The pain is so deep and strong that a curtain descends over your brain... Once, someone asked me what pleasure I took in riding for so long. 'Pleasure?' I said. 'I don't understand the question.' I didn't do it for pleasure. I did it for pain – Lance Armstrong

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

Pain is not an obstacle

You have been given a body that can stand anything. It's your mind you have to convince

You don’t drown by falling in the water; you drown by staying there

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will

Bodybuilding is like building a wall. You don't just go out and build it in 1 day. You say to yourself "i'm going to build the tallest, strongest and most beautiful wall that has ever been". After that, you go out and lay the first brick on your wall. Each day you lay a single brick, and you try to lay that brick as perfect as humanly possible. If you continue that way for 5-10 years, you'll have your wall.

We take our life, our passion and our soul and we put it into something, that we believe is worthy of our best

I have stopped caring about the guy next to me doing cheated lat pulldowns with 50kg more than me. I train my body and not my ego. I have stopped caring about the girls telling me, that I am too big. I pursue my dreams, not theirs. I have stopped caring about my friends telling me, that I should live a little. I live for the forced pain and the strict diet. Whatever everyone does or says, does not matter. The gym is my home and bodybuilding is my life.

"Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent."

motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly.

If you find yourself trying, stop trying and start fucking doing

"Every rep has a price, not all have a benefit"

Er der evt. en der lige vil fortælle mig, om ovenstående 'citat' er korrekt engelsk? Jeg synes det er lidt svær at afgøre om det skal være have/has... :-)

Efter at have skimtet tråden lidt må jeg lade forlyde at de fleste citater i denne tråd er halv lamme

Build your own dreams, or someone else will hire you to build theirs

Min egen indstilling til livet, som måske er ret forsimplet kan formuleres med dette:
Hver dag skal have et formål. På denne måde bevæger du dig langsomt, skridt efter skridt, hen imod det sted du gerne vil være.

Citater fra min far:

"Go ugly go early"
"Enhver pige er smuk med din pik i munden"
"Ka' de bløde ka' de føde"
"Store piger er vildeste i sengen min dreng" ......

Go to heaven for the climate, Hell for the company.
[Mark Twain]

Hell is other people.

Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings, where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws.
[Jim Morrison]

I'll let you be in my dreams, if I can be in yours.
[Bob Dylan]

By the time we realize
That the things we already got
Are more beautifull
Than the things we still want
At that moment
We start living

Et citat fra et af mine favorit musiknumre - syntes det tegner et meget godt billede af at man ikke altid behøver stræbe helt vildt efter noget, men at man også skal huske at leve i nuet. Dog uden at det bliver sådan noget carpe diem lignende noget :-)

Jeg fortolker det også lidt som om at man skal opnå noget før man kan nyde det, det er desuden også sådan jeg former mit liv, opnår noget, nyder det, opnår noget nyt, nyder noget nyt osv.

“They rushed down the street together, digging everything in the early way they had, which later became so much sadder and perceptive and blank. But then they danced down the streets like dingledodies, and I shambled after as I’ve been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!”

Jack Kerouac (On The Road)

Shoot to kill.

Det er let nok at have meninger, det er bare at fabrikere dem som man lyster, men at have dem kvalificeret er en anden sag.

"Kvinder lever i den nære verden"

Jeg har altid undret mig over, hvorfor at kvinder konkurrerer separat i skak. Lige netop i skak burde der ikke være nogen forskel mellem kvinder og mænd.

kvinder er som katte. Viser man ingen interesse kommer de hen til en, viser man stor interesse går de væk.

Enhver ved, at kvinder bæres frem på hænder og fødder, hvis de har blot en smule at byde på.

Gode argumenter gør indtryk. Og et af de bedste argumenter, der findes, er eksemplets magt.

Et typisk udtryk for den grundtvigianske tankegang er Grundtvig-citatet: "Menneske først, kristen så".
