Default Motivation

This thread is dedicated to motivation. Specifically, what keeps you motivated?

Personally, I like to use an inanimate object as my goal. It helps me visualize what size I will become. This works for me because what you see is what you will get.

For example, when I first started out I wanted to be as thick as a toilet paper roll. I kept the toilet paper roll on my desk, to remind me of my goal, and to keep my motivated. Everyday I was reminded to do my exercises.

What about you guys?

Remek,

I had the same thing that I used, and a paper towel roll that I used to measure my EL. I can't fit my penis in the toilet roll anymore, so I haven't found another one to replace that one.

Very good information! I never thought about using something to compare to. I'll be sure to apply the advice.

Dustpan, are you saying you're longer than a paper towel roll?!?

The paper towel roll that I use I marked it, and cut it at 8.00", this gives me something to shoot for.

The size of a paper towel inside dia is 13.8cm and the outside dia is 14.0cm or to put it into inches is equal to 5.375" inside dia
and 5.500" outside dia.

The only thing that helps to keep me motivated in the long run is that I enjoy doing the exercises and the training itself.

Remek,

Thanks. I've managed to gain 0.2" BPEL since last, not much but I have been really inconsistent in my training.
