17 Of The Best Mike Rashid Motivation

Quotes

Mike Rashid is the CEO and founder of IMSOALPHA 1X3

supplements, a former professional boxer, gym owner and
author of the "Overtraining" series of e-books.
"You can do amazing things. Don’t be afraid of that hard work. My workouts
are tough. That’s what you want. You don’t want nothing easy. Easy ain’t
going to get you nothing. You know, it may get you something. You may
maintain and what not. Easy may work for some people, but I don’t want that.
You know what I mean?

I feel like the harder it is, the more I’m getting out of it. If I conquer these hard
tasks, you just get way more out of it. You know what I mean? If it’s just easy
— if you get everything easy — when you’re faced with something difficult, you
fold."

Mike Rashid squatting

"I feel squats are the foundation for any athlete, in any sport. I like to
incorporate powerlifting principles in progressing to a max effort for a neural
response which translates to strength. However I like to progress with
bodybuilding styled rep ranges which expands cells translating to larger
muscles. After which I activate that inner athlete to do any type of crazy burn
out or drop set which translate to badassery."

Mike Rashid

"Honestly, what’s it worth if your abs only last a couple days? From what I’ve
observed during my brief time in this “fitness industry” many of these
“fitness” folks aren’t fit. For some, having abs is a result of being
malnourished. I’m bringing this up to say this. If you are a part of this industry,
try to actually be fit and healthy. If you being healthy doesnt allow you to be
the most shredded person on the planet, then so be it. I feel this obsession
with being “shredded” is mentally unhealthy. Some have to do sooo much for
this temporary look, they gain weight after and get depressed."

Mike Rashid with chains

"I see all of you bad asses killing it in the gym. I love that. Dont forget to be
good to your mind. You dont train it, it’ll become weak."

Trained by Mike Rashid

"You must do what you want, what you feel you should do.. Not what people
think is best, do what feels right for you. Fuck the status quo. Fuck the norm.
There are so many ‘experts’ and know it alls, that think they have it all figured
out. But guess what? Life is way to dynamic. You’ll never have it figured out.
Not fitness, not business, not relationships. Nothing."

Mike Rashid

"Tell people that you love how much you love them. Tell people that you dont
like, that you dont like them and why. Step into actions with boldness. But
never be too ‘Alpha’ that you cant take constructive criticism. Or learn from a
mistake. No matter how much it may sting, DO NOT reject the truth. And if
you are a leader. Be a damn good leader. Be an example. Dont half ass
anything. Dont be out of shape telling people how to be in shape. Dont be a
cheater telling people not to cheat. Walk the walk. That's it. simple common
sense."

Mike Rashid bench pressing

"What are you all about Mike Rashid? A rich living experience. Mental and
physical fitness. Progressive thoughts. Optimizing every area of my life.
Enhancing relationships of those in my circle. Laughing. Conquering.
Learning. Progressing. Enjoying good people and conversations, food,
movies, all of the great pleasures in life. Consciously trying to become a
better person everyday. Constantly trying to help my loved ones become
better. What are you about?"

Mike Rashid

"I dont care what your profession is. You will be more successful if you
trained regularly, and ate well. You will have more energy, more confidence,
look better, and people will treat you like the boss that you are or can be. A
word to the wise is sufficient. Get off your asses."

Mike Rashid

"Workouts like these aren't really for building the body, it's for building that
mental strength, giving yourself a 'gut check' and tapping into will power. The
more you tap into it, the more readily accessible it will be to you in a time of
need."

Mike Rashid

"Shakespeare: Julius Caesar: Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once. I love this quote. The meaning is at
the mercy of interpretation. An example of it to me is when someone looks at
you as an enemy, or with envy or hatred in their heart.. Yet smile and shake
your hand.. They die. Every time they smile and fake nice they die. Not man
enough to say "I don't like you" if I don't care for someone I treat them
accordingly. I focus my energy on my loved ones. With that being said, knock
it off with the fake ish. Quit being a big ass coward and be real. I can respect
a person that keeps it real vs one that acts like everything is peachy when it
clearly isn't. I hear everything."

Mike Rashid

"Rise and grind! Nothing comes to a sleeper but a dream!"

Mike Rashid

"What I’m telling y’all is: strive for excellence. Don’t make excuses. When
everything is stacked against you, get excited about that. Because when you
bust through those obstacles, you grow. Your aptitude as a person
enhances. Self esteem is your self estimation of what your are, who you are.
No one can define that but you."

Mike Rashid

"I try my best to make things look easy. But truth is, I work my ass off for
everything that I have. I work my ass of to look the way that I do. I try my best
to live a disciplined lifestyle. Saturday 5:24pm holiday weekend. Where am I?
I'm in the gym about to train legs. I am 100% faithful to MY success. When
you see me, you see that dedication. You see it through my success in
whatever I do. I'm a winner, but only because I bust my ass and work hard. I
competed twice. Both shows, I was training the next day. I haven't taken more
than 2 days off in a week in longer than I can remember. Lately it's only been
one day off. I'm obsessed with success. I'm obsessed with me being better
than I was. I can't help it, can't stop, nor do I want to:) See you at the top!"

Mike Rashid

"I'm not afraid of death. I actually have no desire to live 100 years. However, I
want my time spent on earth in this physical form to be that of quality. I'm
about enjoying every moment. Turning negatives into learning experiences.
Therefore there's never a negative. Graceful living, fluid thoughts, strong and
healthy body, strong mind, seeing smiles on my kids face, seeing smiles on
my loved ones faces, good company, good music, a beautiful woman on my
side. What else can a man ask for."
 Mike Rashid

"Be disciplined, train hard. Train your mind as thoroughly as you train your
body. Be a complete warrior. Not just a brute. Practice eloquence of the
tongue, be fluid in thought.. Be gentle, but strong. Be humble. Stand firm in
your beliefs. Be a protector. Make your word your bond. Firm handshakes,
make eye contact. Be accountable for your actions. Just thinking about some
of the lessons my pops taught me. Just reiterating them to myself, and
sharing them with you."

Mike Rashid

"OVER: above in authority, rank, power. Synonyms: complete,

accomplished. TRAINING: the education, instruction, or
discipline. Synonyms: discipline, basics, foundation, practice. MIKE
RASHIDS DEFINITION OF OVERTRAINING: to completely dominate your
training. To leave no stones unturned when training."

I got wind of Mike from one of CT Flecther YouTube videos. Mike is definitely someone I'm
going to take some advice. Going to use those quotes for motivation. Going Beast Mode for
2015.

Thank you for your motivation.. Probably the best motivation I've had in a while. I'm only 19
and not all that strong, but still trying. I know I've got time but I'm anxious to lift and I have a
passion for it. So thank you for being real and straight forward to everyone.
