2. Baby your eyes
Are like two protein shakes.
Wanna drink ‘em up
While eating some cake
No I don’t eat cake
Cuz those carbs aint complex
But honey I feel your love,
Like the burn in my pecs
Babe when you’re near
It gets my heart pumpin’
But when you’re gone my hearts sore
Due to the latic acid build-up in the
Muscle cuzza the
Aforementioned pumpin’
BODYBUILDERS LOVE POEM
3. I like this poem because it reminds me of my buddy at the gym who only
believes in lifting weights. I chose this because it sorta shows what happens
when you become a gym head and with all the pre workouts and other things
to melt your brain its how you end up talking. A specific feature in the poem is
word choice, because of the pre workouts and thousands of protein shakes
you aren’t really functioning at 100%.
ANALYSIS
4. Down the road, in a gym far away
A young man was heard to say
“No matter what I do, my legs wont grow!”
He tried leg extensions, leg curls, leg presses too
Trying to cheat, theses sissy workouts he’d do!
From the corner of the gym where the big guys train
Through the cloud of chalk and the midst of pain
Where the big iron rides high, threatens lives
Where the noise I made with big forty-fives
A deep voice bellowed as he wrapped his knees
A very big man with legs like trees
Laughing as he snatched another plate from the stack
Chalked his hands and monstrous back
Said “Boy, stop lying and don’t say you’ve forgotten!
Trouble with you is you aint been SQUATTIN!”
THE SQUAT
5. This poem basically is making fun of all the people who skip leg day and then
try and complain about not having legs. This poem is a Rhyme Scheme. It also
sends a message basically saying this, don’t skip squats, don’t skip leg day, and
don’t complain when skip workouts and don’t give 100% on every workout.
ANALYSIS
6. A dream doesn’t become reality through magic;
It takes sweat, determination, and hardwork.
- Colin Powell
A DREAM
7. This poem while very short has a lot behind it. There is so much truth behind
what it says and while granted some people can get where the want in life with
money or connections, most of us have to work our butts off to get where we
want in life and some of us fall short of that goal because they say its “ too
hard” or “ Its not possible”, don’t listen to the nay sayers, anything in this life
you want is attainable, you just gotta reach out and grab it.
ANALYSIS
8. Don’t ever let somebody tell you… You cant do something, you got to dream
big. You gotta protect it. People cant do something themselves, they wanna
tell you you cant do it. If you want something go get it. Period!
GO GET IT
9. This poem brings a lot of motivation to the table. If you’re feeling down
someday, or think you’re a failure, or anything else this poem can and will help
you. One of my idols Jay Cutler has a quote and it says “ Competition or no
competition still bustin my butt every damn day” That is the backround in my
phone and it’s a quote I look at every day. This poem is just like that it will
give motivation when its needed and it will always lift you up.
ANALYSIS
10. For me, life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to
exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to conquer.
-Arnold Schwarzenneger
CONQUER
11. Another one of my idols and very famous bodybuilder, Arnold, always has a
great outlook on life and always has something powerful to say. This poem is
great great example of the mindset you have to have in order to achieve your
goals. When Arnold came to this country he aspired to be a bodybuilder but
not just a bodybuilder but the best bodybuilder of all time, and he did that by
having this mindset.
ANALYSIS
12. The Mind
The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact you can do something,
You can do it, as long as you really believe 100%.
- Arnold Schwarzenneger
THE MIND
13. Analysis
Once again Arnold is always inspiring. He is one of the greats and will always be one.
This reverts back to another analysis I did saying you always have to give 100% well
You also have to believe 100% in order for you to fully achieve your potential. Never
Base what you want to look like off someone else, you wont get there. And its because
No one is the same and you don’t have the same genetics as someone else. So be the
Best you can be. Live up to your potential.
ANALYSIS
14. The Lift
The adrenaline is flowing and coursing through your veins in your body
as you prepare yourself for the lift,
you see now a monstrous weight as your enemy,
all you can do for 10 seconds is look at it.
You lay on the bench,
your moist hands grasp the chalked bar
you take a deep breath
and you take another, nervously
now it's just you and this weight, that wants to crush you
with your shoulder blades in and chest out, you prepare to lift.
The weight is off the bar
as you bring it to your chest, you know the weight has done its job.
Now it's your turn.
As you're pushing, your chest is squeezing tightly
your legs are nailed to the floor by the weight
you continue pushing the weight up - but it stops.
But you continue to push for everything now, you can't stop.
The weight begins to move again - but this time faster
and faster, and faster, Your partner helps you guide the weight to the
bar The weight is on the bar. You get up from the bench
your chest is tight but you did it, you beat the weight
and you walk victorious!
THE LIFT
15. Analysis
This poem is actually really cool. Originally I picked this solely because it dealt
With lifting but I actually read it and it puts a really cool perspective on benching.
This poem was written by Curtis Dennis, this poem is under the motivation section on
bodybuilding.com.
ANALYSIS
16. NATURAL FREAKS
"NaturalFreaks... who are they?
Where do they come from?
I'll tell ya where.... They come out of nowhere... Determined... Focused....
Fueled by the desire to be a "naturalfreak". They are "natural"....
With their desire alone... they don't need 'roids. They are "freaks".
You admire their strength everytime they come into the gym
Training becomes a mission for them!
They "tank" over anyone that gets in their way
And spare no one, not their partners nor themselves in their training.
NaturalFreaks have unbelievable power and physiques that would rival Hercules.
They are everywhere where people think they aren't,
And not everywhere people think they are.
They are "warriors" in every sense of the word,
And they "never quit.” They eat, sleep, think, and breathe being a "naturalfreak" -
They do whatever it takes to achieve their goals in the gym...
And leave nothing to chance. They are power-bodybuilders
Mortal gymrats envy them... Powerlifters respect them... Bodybuilders admire them...
And outside the gym, they fear no one!
They have strength & honor toward fellow freaks and others...
They leave a mark in the gym everytime they are there...
Tell me... Are you a NaturalFreak?"
17. ANALYSIS
Hands down one of the coolest bodybuilding poems I’ve ever read
It makes me want to go lift just reading it, it also had truth behind it
Because people can do crazy things when properly motivated and
Determined, People throughout history have done this not just bodybuilders
And power lifters but presidents, inventors, leaders.
18. PAIN
Pain is weakness leaving the body,the question isnt how much more you can take
But how much more yopu can give. Just when youre ready to quit, your mind says
Push harder, you listen, sensing an inner strength that wasn’t there before and
Suddenly you discover -- you no longer feel pain.
19. ANALYSIS
This poem gives you a certain drive when you read it
And its to never give up. Always give 100% on everything you do
To be in this sport is a very hard process because not only do
You have to give 100% all the time with working out and dieti
But because it takes a physical and mental toll on you. Getting
Up everyday, then going to school, then going straight to work,
then my absolute favorite part of the day is the gym. Its my
Sanctuary, it’s a place where I can just escape all the B.S of life.
20. Why Do I Succeed?
I succeed because I am willing to do the things you are not.
I will fight against the odds. I will sacrifice. I am not shackled by fear
Insecurity or doubt. I feel those emotions – drink them in and then
Swallow them away to the blackness of Hell. I am motivated by accomplishment
Not pride. Pride consumes the weak – kills their heart from within
If I fall – I will get up. If I am beaten – I will return.
I will never stop getting better, I will never give up – ever.
That is why I succeed.
21. ANALYSIS
This is my favorite poem/saying. It is everything I’ve been saying this whole time.
People think they can just say yeah I’ll look as good as him or her and blah blah blah. You wont
Hands down you wont. Not because your not the same its because you don’t have the dedication,
You don’t have the drive and you don’t have the will power. But here’s what people are full of. Excuses.
You can give any excuse under the sun but its plain and simple there is no excuse. I don’t care what you say
Argue or try to plead, there is no excuse. Period. But you know what, no sane person would do what we do.
You have to be crazy to be a bodybuilder. But that’s the difference between people and me, I’m crazy
And there sane, but you know what I love being crazy, I love bodybuilding and the disciplines it has taught me.
22. CREDO
I believe in the power of the gym, the 100% dedication you must have
The importance of commitment, the evil that exists in cheating
The results of hard work, strength, courage, and perseverance
But the fakes of the gym are weak and petty
I believe hard work pays off
I believe in bustin your ass every workout
I believe in respect for others, fortitude, courtesy and protein.
And I believe in myself to conquer any goal I set… even Mr. Olympia
23. I AM
I am crazy and funny
I wonder if I can fly
I hear the clinking of weights
I see 45 pound plates
I want to lift this weight
I am crazy and funny
I pretend to listen
I feel like Jay Cutler
I touch the bar, ready
I worry about not getting the weight up
I cry, That’s a JOKE,
I am crazy and funny
I understand 200 pounds is 200 pounds
I say I’m superman
I dream about being like Arnold
I train my hardest
I hope I can be Mr. Olympia
I am crazy and funny
