Dorian Yates, the colossus.

Anyone who decides to pick up the weights and make a change never do so to see minimal results. If you’re willing to put the work in and push your body to its limits then you’re looking to make a major change to your physique. An individual who chooses the hard and arduous road of building what they believe to be the perfect physique never do so lightly. It takes a commitment, a drive, a passion in order to bring everything together. But it also takes inspiration as well.

Many avid lifters will have you convinced that they’ve always had a drive to become shredded and massive, that there was no real motivating factor, but that simply isn’t true. Everyone is motivated no matter how you try to frame things. The reality is that whether it was a comic book superhero or their favorite bodybuilder, there was either an ideology, someone or something that drove them to become the best version of themselves.
