Bodybuilding Motivation: It’s time to get back in the gym for chest day.

Chest day is a fan favorite of gym rats all over the world. In the bodybuilding arena, it’s arguably the most important component to any powerful physique. Chest day can be exhausting but it’s definitely one of the most rewarding. That’s why we’re starting your week off right with this epic chest day bodybuilding motivation video.

We all know the feeling of not being motivated to go to the gym, which is why Raiden Motivation made this awesome bodybuilding motivation video to get you pumped about chest day. One look at the incredible physiques these men have built is sure to remind you why hard work and self-discipline are so important. If you’re thinking about skipping the gym today, ask yourself this: do you think any of these guys got where they are by skipping a day whenever they felt tired or unmotivated? Do you think a rippling physique can be achieved with minimal effort? Are you worth making that effort?

Putting the work in to make your dreams a reality is never easy, but it’s worth it if you think your goals are important. It’s easy to focus on the responsibilities we have to others, at work, at home, towards our friends and family, etc. Going to the gym is about you. It’s about you making time for yourself and what you want for your life. It’s about making time and space for yourself that won’t always do that for you. Don’t let life beat you down and turn you into someone who doesn’t have time for what really matters to them. Be you. And go to the gym.

Bodybuilding Motivation: An epic supercut of Lee Priest’s amazing physique.

Lee Priest may be best known for his controversial statements and blunt honesty. Or perhaps you know him beast as the bodybuilder who managed to get banned for life from competing in the IFBB. But before he became notorious as the dark horse of bodybuilding, he was known as The Blonde Myth. This was due to his incredible genetic potential that came together into one hell of a bodybuilding physique during his prime days in the IFBB.

There are many fans and bodybuilders who believe that had Lee Priest’s path gone differently, he could have become a truly legendary bodybuilder and perhaps stand tall with the short list of athletes who earned a Mr. Olympia trophy. But we can’t change the past and while Lee never got to further prove himself in the IFBB – it doesn’t take away from the pure mastery we did get to see on display before things got really rocky.

That’s why content partner Raiden Motivation has put together this epic supercut bodybuilding motivation video showcasing the best footage of Lee Priest in his prime. Cut together with some inspiring quotes to get you amped up – this video is a reminder that beyond the blunt honesty and controversial headlines, there was also a truly impressive physique that spoke for itself. Check it out above.

If you watch this video and your face doesn’t absolutely melt off your skull like that guy from Indiana Jones, you’re doing it wrong.

You have to get in the gym and put the work in every single day if you want to get results. Obviously, if you push yourself too hard you burn out, so you also have to balance that against whatever amount of rest days make sense to you. The key here is to recognize when you genuinely need a day of rest to repair your muscles and when you’re just being lazy and making excuses. Listen to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson explain it all in this legendary video from Raiden Motivation.

Money can’t buy you gains — only blood, sweat, and tears put in at the gym can do that. The bad news is it’s not easy, but the good news is this: anyone can get there if they put the work in. The Rock has been one of the most outspoken celebrities on his passion and love for professional bodybuilding – having shown up at various IFBB shows and also being involved with the Mr. Olympia. He also brings a bodybuilder level physique to Hollywood on a level not seen since Arnold Schwarzenegger during his action movie prime.

So check out this bodybuilding motivation video above to get Rock-level inspiration during your next workout. If you like what you see, make sure to subscribe to Raiden Motivation’s YouTube channel right here.

We had a year without Big Ramy. What will we see when he returns?

Big Ramy is often seen as a fan favorite in the bodybuilding world. His incredibly massive size has always brought the “freak factor” attention to every competition he shows up in and many desperately wanted him to be the bodybuilder that would take down Phil Heath. Of course, that ultimately didn’t happen – as conditioning has been the worst enemy of Big Ramy year after year. Instead, Shawn Rhoden defeated Phil Heath and changed the game for what we should expect in the following years.

But things only became more complicated this year – with Shawn Rhoden barred from competing and Big Ramy ultimately not competing in the Olympia 2019. Things have become even more mixed up when it comes to expectations moving forward. So what will we see in Big Ramy once he finally makes his comeback?

Raiden Motivation has put together a bodybuilding motivation video focusing purely on the best lifts and physiques of Big Ramy. It’s just one example of the excitement many have to see Big Ramy return to the stage. But will conditioning still be his greatest enemy? Or will the time off lead to the best Big Ramy physique we’ve ever seen?

Many expect Phil Heath to return in 2020 as well. So we might just see the same face off from previous years. Big Ramy vs Phil Heath battling for first place. With Brandon Curry’s constant improvement – he’ll also be thrown in the mix to defend his current title. It’s hard to predict what will happen but if you are a fan of Big Ramy, this video is the ultimate hype machine to get you ready for his return next year. Check it out above!

Bodybuilding Motivation: Who will bring home the gold?

It’s anyone’s guess at the 2019 Olympia. This competitive season has been marked by so many crazy ups and downs, false starts, the suspension of the reigning champion from competition… who knows what will happen on the actual day! Underdogs who didn’t stand a chance against athletes like Phil Heath and Shawn Rhoden now have a competitive chance at the number one spot.

Bodybuilding Motivation: A look into the true beast that is Roelly Winklaar.

Roelly Winklaar is the bodybuilder who just keeps getting bigger and bigger to the point where he’s turned into a real world superhero. This has led to both good and bad results throughout the years.

Bodybuilding Motivation: Tom Platz was a legendary master of legs.

Tom Platz was a fan favorite bodybuilder that still continues to get references even today many years after his retirement from competing. This is due to his legendary status in a very unique department where many other pro bodybuilders often struggle (even other legends who stand tall in the history of the sport). Of course we are talking about Tom Platz incredible legs, an often weak point for many bodybuilders and one of the hardest muscle groups to develop into perfection.

That’s what makes Tom Platz unique among many other legends in the sport – his legs were inhuman. He was like the Ronnie Coleman or Dorian Yates of legs in the sense that he took his legs to a level many didn’t believe was possible.

That’s why Raiden Motivation has put together this tribute bodybuilding motivation video showcasing Platz in his prime and the hardcore insane training he put his legs through to earn his reputation as a legend in the world of bodybuilding legs. He is truly the master of leg day. Check it out above!
