Who is your fitness inspiration?"I want to be like _________ some day"?

[EpicHam]

Everyone on their way towards fitness , they must have a goal.. an idol... someone they'll want to be like.

Who's yours?
When you're running on the treadmill , about to tumble over... benching... about to drop... who do you think of?

"I want to be like _________ some day"

Who do you look up to fitness-wise?

Mine is Mike Mentzer.

I mainly see my goal for next year, which keeps me running: IRONMAN!
Other than that, I have met people who used to be absolutely unathletic until their late 20s and then turned into long-distance triathletes with a lot of dedication.
There are many inspiring stories out there, which keep me going!

[EpicHam]

the story about everyday man and woman turning their life around and making a difference.
Those are GREAT inspiration as well.

dat ass

[Shyguy_1988]

The last girl my gosh!

[shacodraco]

My inspiration is sexy women. It's nice motivation when you're working out and there are attractive members of the opposite sex near you. I don't even perv or check them out most of the time but it's nice to just know they are there if that makes sense

[EpicHam]

shhhhh , don't overinflate their ego.

Konstantin Konstantinovs - World class power lifter.

I also look up to Elliot Hulse. He's a brilliant mind.

[SuperNurse42]

Oh, and fucking Bruce Lee of course. But that's a given.

[EpicHam]

that monster truck of a man deadlifting cars. Not sure what North European eats , but JESUS CHRIST they're HUGE

[mutedaisy]

Konstantin Konstantinovs is like my ideal man X)

[Alynaresque]

My inspiration is myself: To be better than I was pre-baby! Lost all of my baby weight but 10 lbs after giving birth, subsequently gained 40 lbs. I've now gone down 24lbs and lookin fabulous!

[EpicHam]

Could it be Maria King?

[LittleSally]

Haha somewhere in between of those two would be perfect. =)

[EpicHam]

the girl in the lower pic looks as if she's a spartan warrior on vacation.

[LittleSally]

Jessica Biel - hahahah she really does... xD

[EpicHam]

didn't notice how muscular her legs are in the other pics posted by another commenter.
oh man , the ladies are catching up.

[TheDevilInside]

When you're running on the treadmill , about to tumble over... benching... about to drop... who do you think of?
- Colonel Sanders. And how good his chickens are. I'll probably get a few wings and a drumstick after this...

Serious answer: Jennifer Lawrence.

Zyzz brah

[EpicHam]

but dead at 22 tho
*sssssssssssssssss
that's young

[NovemberJoseph]

Someone that's alive that I look up to would be elliot hulse.

[SaraSan]

I want to look like k-pop star xD Like someone from ''Girl's Generation'', long way to go, but hell, I would do anything to look like that ^^ https://sv.tinypic.com/r/j7xjc3/8

[EpicHam]

I suppose , but those will take a bit of starving and plastic surgery lol
South Korea , where jaw bones and cellulite comes to die.

[SaraSan]

Haha i'm fine with starving a little xD And I will get plastic surgery as soon as i'm 18 :P Not jaw though, I'm going to fix my nose ^^

[EpicHam]

ah... liberation of female rights.
I thought of getting some forehead spacers myself , but ehhhh probably later down the line.

Just uh... set some boundaries eh?
Back when I was researching about plastic surgery , there are LOTS of people who started off with little changes... and those changes adds up over the years to... something they probably didn't expect.

[Alynaresque]

Careful with starving , even a little, doll.. It can bite you in the ass more than you know.

[SaraSan]

Yeah I know, I will be careful! ^^ Both with ''starving'' and plastic surgery :3

[aamy811]

If you have Instagram ( or probably just google it) I would love to look like censkii or mankofit. I'm think they look beautiful and strong, but still feminine

[EpicHam]

Wonder Woman -esque

[aamy811]

Yup. If mankofit punched me in the face I'd sy thank you, because I probably deserved it

[EpicHam]

Dem Amazonian muscles would make any average guy look bad eh lol

[aamy811]

I know. I think she's so hot and could take on almost any opponent

Don't know who it is.

[EpicHam]

mystery ass

[Shyguy_1988]

Anyone that is a good shape and is ripped without being too bulky. Just fit and in shape, like Chris Evans or Bradley Cooper, just naming people everyone knows.

[EpicHam]

Chris Evans has a sort of baby face good charms to him.
Get all the girls.

[523206720]

I notice everyday people. Usually when I see a slim girl that is attractive I will go to the gym and think about her and how I want to look like her.

[EpicHam]

dat package

[jswag]

I want to be like the actor Taylor Lautner one day. My sister is obsessed with him and I admit I would like to look jacked like him.

[Anjellygirlyeah]

when working out I think of pizza and all the fat food I like, they're my inspiration.

[Athleticbroo]

John Cena, Jason statham

[EpicHam]

Jason Statham , that cockney accent.
Born to bad he is lol

[mutedaisy]

I don't have anyone that is a fitness inspiration.

[EpicHam]

then uhhh... why did you post?

Its like the Monty Python with the king asking who burned the witch... and then a pleb going MEM MEM ME...
"well I don't know"

[mutedaisy]

You asked a question and I answered. My answer is not what you where expecting, but it is still in correspondence with the original question. I simply don't have one.

[EpicHam]

so... why do you do it?

[mutedaisy]

Why stay silent?

[EpicHam]

no I mean why do you workout to stay fit?
What is your goal?

[mutedaisy]

I've always wanted to see what my body would look like if it was slimmer and less bulky... it might be nice to have a lower body fat than 20% as well. Why do you want to be like Mike Mentzer? He has a brilliant mustache.

[EpicHam]

Well you got that right lol
300 extra points for that MANLY mustache.

He's basically the amalgam of the man I want to be.
Philosopher , Author , US Airman , Bodybuilder.

An literate and well written man that ponders what most never wonder , an objective man that hopes to understand man's place on Earth. A man that loves his country and the man who pioneered bodybuilding as a science. No crazy pumping like other bodybuilders , but done in a slow and controlled manner with strict form.

Basically an intelligent and patriotic man with discipline and a passion in life.
I want to be that.

[mutedaisy]

Wow, that's amazing! I'm sure glad I answered this, I would have never known any of that! You keep going for that goal and you're sure to be amazing :)

[EpicHam]

yeah... kinda sad to see what fitness has become today.
Everyone is looking for "shortcuts" and magical pills and injecting BUCKETS of roids to become balloon animals.

Mike Mentzer doesn't have the BEST physique , but I think as a package. He's awesome.

A bodybuilder talking about philosophy lol
Imagine that
