6-Pack Abs: General George Patton's Bodybuilding Quotes

By MaxBurnFitness

It might seem odd that bodybuilding quotes for building six-pack abs can be attributed to General George Patton, but this famous WWII Commander led thousands of troops to victory and the quotes below can provide the motivation we need to push through the "tougher times" in training. The Patton bodybuilding quotes below are provided with some thoughts on how they apply to fitness training.

"You're never beaten until you admit it." Picture yourself 45 minutes into your workout, sweating like a dog (even though dogs do not sweat). You have another set of crunches, and a set of kettle bell reps left and you just don't feel like pushing it. If you listen to the little voice in the back of your mind, you may be convinced to bargain that you will work harder next time but you'll regret that decision. Gen. Patton's words should be echoing in your mind about this time. Giving up is a choice and all choices have consequences. Pick the "pay me now" option to avoid the "pay me later" guilt trip that giving up will result in.

"Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory." Without sacrifice, most things we do have no value. Our temptation to take shortcuts in our workout and diet will definitely produce results but not the ones we would be happy with. Patton challenged his men to fight well and make the sacrifices necessary to enjoy the fruits of victory.

"Better to fight for something than live for nothing." What do you stand for? Do you just talk a good game and hope you get the results or do you focus on carrying out each aspect of the plan faithfully? People that are fat stand only for immediate gratification as they enjoy their Whoppers. If our focus is physical fitness, we stand for good health and a body that reflects it. Those who take the easy route stand for nothing.

"If a man does his best, what else is there?" The question is "are you really doing your best"? Have you developed a solid plan to burn the calories and keep the caloric balance negative or are you flying by the seat of your pants (which may be getting bigger) and hoping that things work out. Taking this challenge seriously is getting real with yourself and making the commitment to do whatever it takes to reach your goals.

"Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom." The true test of our character and resolve is not how high your fly when things are going well. Rather, it is how you work through the tough times, the times when you want to give up, that provide the insight as to who you really are. In freezing temperatures Gen. Patton was able to redirect his troops to successfully engage the enemy in the Battle of the Bulge. Not because it was easy but because it had to be done regardless of hardship.

You want a great set of six-pack abs. The job is not easy...if it were then everyone would have them. Gen. George Patton's words inspired his men to engage the enemy even when the odds seemed insurmountable. These bodybuilding quotes provide us with the encouragement we need to bridge the gap between the military and the fitness battlefields. - 17269
