Sometimes I imbue philosophical meaning into my workouts, sometimes along the lines of that Plato quote, or how it somehow sets me apart from the rest of the non-lifting folk.
Other times I recall horrific military operations where the operators had to push through while tired, wounded, and shot-up.
>tfw joined the peace-time military and will never actually see combat..
Or if I'm having a bad day, use the rage/frustration to help with my lifts.

I sync up music to my run speeds. When a "good or inspriing" part comes on, I'll run faster. Or like I'll think of that Navy SEAL documentary on youtube.

>>40130909
Many of the songs on my lifting playlist remind me of specific people. Some are girls I missed my chance with, some are friends long gone, some are family memebers I haven't seen in too long. So each song reminds me of a person, and then I lift for them.
>everytime I weigh myself I write the number on the inside of my wrist to remind myself to stick to my diet/exercise
>constantly reassure myself that I'm totally not developing body dysmorphia/eating disorder
>>40131172

I just think about that cunt who stole my girlfriend.
>>40130909
Listen to Nonon Jakuzure's theme and imagine she thinks I'm a dullwitted meat head before telling myself that one day I will lift enough for someone to love me.

i usually lift to Bolt Thrower and imagine I'm training to be an Adeptus Astartes

When doing some running in cut season I keep whispering "move, moove" to myself in exactly the same voice as Tom Hanks did in this scene (around 3:06)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sj9esSu0lg0
I embrace pain as something good, the credit for a work well done. I believe it also has a large carryover to other things in life, this resistance to pain and ability to press on.
http://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2013/11/01/241895965/how-one-kenyan-tribe-produces-the-worlds-best-runners
This inspired me greatly when I was prepping for my first half-marathon. I know, cardio kills gains etc. Dyel runner friend of mine challenged me, was convinced "muscle makes you slow etc". Beat him by a little over 1 min on 21 k.
Never really experienced that much pain, constantly pushing yourself for nearly 2 hours. It´s not even about running anymore at that point - It´s just you, the pain and your blurred vision of the road.
Not gonna become a runner but doing that shit made those 5x5 squats I usually dreaded seem easy as shit.
'
I personally believe fighting pain and adversity will have a huge carryover to real life challenges, be it studying 48 hours straight for a test, working your ass off that week before your own business launches or just giving your absolute 100% bodily capacity for 5 reps straight on a deadlift - having practiced PAIN will give you an advantage.
It´s pretty much an expanded philosophy of "dont be a pussy"
>>40131233
But you still felt the need to comment on it.
>>40131233
this is /fit/, i'm sure a lot of people do care about his asshole
This quote gets me through any lack of motivation
>>40131521
here ya go
>>40130909
>In times of weakness, in times of fear, and in times of pain, I need only pray to the God-Emperor
>"I will crush my weakness beneath the weight of my pride"
That or I think about her and the pot head she left me for - laughing at me. Anger at being made into a beta is a hella good motivator.

I think of the kid who used to bully me in middle school. He's friends with some of my other friends and he's all forgotten about it, and think I've put in the past. I actually use him for motivation in everything. Whenever I need to do something, I think about him and it gives me the energy and discipline to do it. I also give him terrible advice all the time. I'm planning to eventually ruin his life, but baby steps still. I only started speaking to him again a few months ago. I plan that within 3 years I'd be able to succeed.
I watch Henry V and LotR pre-battle speeches for motivation.

I fucking love Aristotle. Heres a favorite of mine. Fuck the haters
Not sure if any of ye fellas read comic books, but I find cardio boring as hell.
When I run, I like to pretend I'm Cable, running away from Bishop to protect the first mutant child born since M Day. It makes running less boring, and despite how autistic it is, there are no outward signs that that's what I'm doing.
I'm usually looking foward to working out so i dont need that much motivation.
When i warm up i focus on form, and when it's time to do working sets I try my best to get a really 'accurate' visulasation going. So if it's a bench press I picture the bar and my arms going up. OHP i imagine the bar going past my face and over the centre of gravity.
I also remind myself in my head of technique cues and all that stuff. I don't listen to music - but not for any particular reason.

>>40130909
In reality, if you get shot in a place with 1-hr medevac, you're probably going to die.
I always run or jump rope with a mouthful of water. It builds will power, practices good breathing, and really works out your face muscles since you're trying to swallow it or spit it out. My face always burns after I do that. I think the Apaches did it when they were training their children.

You ever marched with the 240b? Or even the 249? I've only done it with the 249 but that shit gets old. Fucking muzzle point outwards from formation and throw it on your back.

>>40134413
I fucking hate that I think this is a good way to motivate yourself.
>>40134984
History podcasts/audio books for me only bro. Gotta get them intellectual gains along with the physical gains.
>>40134995
DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT JOCKO PODCAST IS?
IT SEEMS YOU DON'T
THIS IS GOOD
>>40134995
There is literally only one good history podcast though
>>40130909
I do a roman salute before a pr. Massive fucking adrenaline rush.
>>40135007
I googled some of the podcast titles. Doesn't seem very intellectual to me. Motivating? Sure, but I don't think you'll learn much about the wider world while listening to it. I assume, again, just by looking at the titles of the podcast episode, it's more of an introspective thing, which is neat - But not something I'd personally dig.

My main source of motivation is my superiority complex over everyone else and the disdain I feel against ugly people.
I imagine a my cunty ex-girlfriend standing next to me talking me down
>You can't even do 5 reps you weakling
>YEAH WELL YOU FUCKING WHORE LOOK AT ME DO SIX
She also calls me a fat fuck whenever I have a cheat meal. I just throw down my fork, call her a cunt in my head and leave
I may be crazy but it helps
>>40131735
Rage is my prime motivator. Just bottle every single little shit and let it go when running or lifting. Just to show everyone, I guess.
I imagine I'm on Thule and literally think of Iron Pill and being virtú as fuark as I have italian blood. I think I'm a fucking roman gladiator and lift the fucking weights while listening to folk metal.

For my cardio I listen to retrowave, usually Dance with the Dead. They have a track that I listen to and imagine myself being a cop patrolling through a suburban neighborhood when I see some faceless thug peeling out from a burglary. It breaks into a chase at the climax of the song where we're in full sprints, hopping over fences and through lawns with my gun drawn and fast on his ass. I'm usually doing 10mph on the treadmill for a solid 40-50 seconds for this.

OP, it is not autistic to give a practical use to philosophy.
Philosophy is a good way to improve yourself and your life. Philosophy shouldn't be used as mental masturbation like most academic people and college degree faggots use it.
The Metal Gear Rising is GOAT for motivation.

Alright I wanted to post mine last night but I had to appeal a ban
For motivation, before I get to the bar, I slide my heels on the floor 3 times, then grab the bar and ungrab it while spinning it for roughly 5 seconds, why do I do this bros?

My dad is one of those dudes who says "Yeah I used to bench 275 and do 135lb weighted pull ups back in my day" and you wouldn't guess that from looking at him.
So my goal is to get a 280lb+ bench and 140lb+ pull up to emasculate my dad

I made this one and it's my fav running playlist so far
>>40137147
I do this too, now that you mention it
If I'm running next to someone I always have to try and keep pace with them, like I'm in a competition/race with them, or I have to work hard so they don't think for a second that I'm slacking or something
I gain a special kind of satisfaction when someone gets on a treadmill after I start and gets off before I finish
>feeling weak
>one more set
>GO BEYOND
>PLUS... ULLLLLTTTRRRRAAAAA
I also zone out a lot and imagine I'm a medieval warrior chopping through fuckers in the name of honor and justice

I'm genuinely glad to know that I'm not the only person doing this
I continually listen to the same song over and over, thinking about my future, while sperging out in my chair and giving the Roman salute and shouting heil Hitler at the top of my lungs.
>>40131220
That's a great idea.

I bet you used to do a lot of drugs.
>>40158062
Damn I know 3 ex-addicts that turned to Jesus during rehab/sobriety.
Why do drugs cause people to become killjoy Christfags?
I imagine this girl standing by the poolside cheering me on, or showing our future son that his dad isn't a low-life drug addict slacker like mine was.
I don't imagine my own success, I imagine my future son's.

I'm training for the military. Every time that I'm tired and don't want to run, or my hips or sore and I want to avoid lifting, I remind myself that some 14 year old living off of rice and chicken feet is running barefoot with an AK so that he can kill me and my family. Keeps me humble, but also makes me angry enough to put in the damn work.
>>40130909
I have a waifu.

Somehow I ended up being a new age hippie when I was 12 and started meditating, since then I grew out of thee new age shit but meditation became a habit to me, when I'm struggling with something physical that doesn't require my full attention, like running and other repetitive efforts. I just focus and my mind slips away to other places, so much that I sometimes run more than I originally wanted to.
It's pretty good and with the right state of mind you can go through a whole workout in one single trance, as long no one is around to bother you.
>>40131211
I like you. That's really cool.
>>40130909
I always thing 'What would Marcus Aurelius do here' when i'm making a decision.

Have you listened to the history of Rome?

do you think it contributed to facial features like pic related or does that come down purely to genetics? I've got a good facial structure myself but there's always room for improvement
Every time i do cardio i just listen to Jungle ( reggae Drum and Bass ) really keeps me in good vibes + the up tempo keeps me going.. when lifting i just play the hardest fucking hood shit i can find and blast that.

I really really wish I had read the meditations earlier in my life.

Or I'll listen to XXXTENTACION or Death Grips.
Or sometimes Ranger cadences.

when I jog I try to find a hot chick far ahead, and imagine I am hunting her down.
If I manage to pass her I just keep running and try to find a new hot chick.
>>40130909
Also I scream "KAKAROT" on the last rep, in my best Vegeta voice.
