Default Motivation Pics!


Hey Everyone,

I have some pictures I want to share of a friend of mine, Bren Baldwin.
Bren won the Overall title at the NPC Oklahoma this year, and this guy is a true example of hardcore training.

Not only that, but he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet.

Bren was working 12 + hour days as a welder, and then going to the gym to train at night, for months as he prepared for the Oklahoma this year.

Whenever I start thinking I'm tired and want to cut out early from the gym, I just think about Bren.

Here are some pics that should give us all some great motivation to get in the gym and bust our asses!!











Bren ( Center ) Winning the Light Heavy and Overall at the NPC OK



Now get out there and hit those weights!!!

I agree guys.

Looking at these pics was the motivation for me to add Deadlifts back into my Mass Building routine.

I'm fired up to hit the gym tonight!

I had to bump this thread for some Motivation, and for anyone who might not have seen it.

I've got my Deadlift and Squat workouts tomorrow and Sunday and needed to get fired up, so I thought I'd check out the pics again.

To all you young guys.. the pics above demonstrate how you get HUOOOGE! :bigthumbu

He has the suit on his lower half, but doesn't have it pulled up on his upper body.

Bren, told me a few weeks ago that he's going to start doing some Powerlifting competitions, so I think he's trying to start getting used to the feel of the suit.
