Motivation

It takes alot of motivation to bring yourself to the gym every week, and even though I would call myself a very motivated person, I still do it because there are certain things that drive me. If i dont go to the gym I feel terrible, not physically, but theres something inside me that is saying you going to get weaker and youll never get as strong as youd like to be. So i guess it would be safe to say that getting strong is a big part in why i go to the gym, but is there more to it?
I have recently been following the progress of an old friend from his BEBO page, and the gains he is making are unbelievable. After only 9 months of training he is deadlifting 280kg, and there are no steroids involved because he gets tested for powerlifting events he takes part in. It is things like this that drive me to get bigger and stronger; tracking the progress of others, and when they are making better progress than me then that drives me to train even harder.
I guess I just havnt been working hard enough!
