41 Reasons To Train Today

I like #38.
Actually, I love the whole list. Great inspiration!

2. You’ll be that much closer to turning into your childhood hero- I love this reason as when I don’t feel like training I watch some footage of my childhood hero Bruce Lee and I feel an instant surge of energy I
don’t think there is any greater motivation for me.

You preach the truth brother! Training is everything. It is pure. It doesn’t talk back. It listens even when your an asshole. What are you training for? A race? I train to live. I feel better physically and mentally. I wish I could do it for a living. I work on power lines all day and am worn out when I get home, but I relish the thought of training. If I miss it I feel guilty. Keep up the good work Chris!

Because when the time comes, i know I’ll be able to do that pull up WITH my daughter on my back…

I am a better Mom when I train…because training is as good for my head as it is for the awesome ass I am working on!

I like em all too, 28 is an excellent one, but my main reason is i want to be fit and strong till the day i fall off the perch.

Because my buddy is training today…can’t let him get better and stronger without me giving him a run for his money.

Well, you went and did it again! You got me all rarin’ to train, and I have the freakin’ stomach flu right now!!! (Might have to wait til tomorrow)… Thank you so so so much for your continued kick-in-the-arse inspiration!!!

24 and 25. I am a better person when I train.

‘Because it’s Squat day.’ Or my favorite Dead Lift day.
Love your posts.

Amen

Recently started following your blog and on Facebook, so yeah I am a new fan. A lot of these points are spot Fucking on!

Number 7 & 24 are powerful reasons for me!

“Because right now there’s some paralyzed mother fucker confined to a hospital bed just wishing he could train. You owe it to that dude to give it all you fucking got today.”

– Enough said right there my good man 🙂

Thank you

Because procrastinating is way more draining than JUST DOING IT.

Thanks for this! I just found your blog yesterday and you’re really speaking to me. I love it.

Trained my legs this morning and I feel SEXY as ass. I like ALL of the points.

#19 is real talk

All awesome of course, but you probably should have incorporated bacon into one of them

Love.
My mom was #38 – after being incredibly active her entire life. Every time I start to waiver, I think of that. Boom – I quit bitchin and get shit done.

I am so grateful I found this Chris, I workout 4-6 times a week and I was thinking about skipping today but I got only number 11 and it compelled me to get off my butt and go get it. I do feel better that I did it. You are a blessing dude and keeping doing your great work. I’m living proof that you are helping people.
Thanks Brother!

Nice! Thank you. I’m taking this list to heart and putting in my personal additions.

42. because doing your nails can wait. you can paint them later, maybe even in your sweaty gym clothes
43. because you’re 43 and you’re not getting any younger, and it’s freaking awesome to know you’re stronger, faster, and healthier than when you were 23

“Because its squat day” love that one haha

A great read as always! Especially a great pass-time on a big break in between clients 🙂

Number 34 was my favorite! Machines in general I think are super boring for cardio. Something like boxing where you do not think of it as cardio because it is actually fun, is always my first choice!

Kick Ass! I was going to try and pick out a few favorites, but it’s impossible, love them all- but yeah, #22, #32 and #38 especially

Dig it!

Number 32 for me. It feels like an accomplishment every friggin’ time! Thanks Chris

Because there is a Navy SEAL somewhere that trains his ass off to allow you to speak your mind.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for 5 years.
Parkour for 6.
Kettlebells for 2-3 years.
Bboying for 4 years off and on.
Speedcubing since I was a kid. Yeah, I think that solving puzzles blindfolded helped me see how systematic and awesome training really can be.

AWESOME blog Chris!

38 stuck out to me as well.

Slightly off topic but did you see your boy Joe Rogan on Vice talking about “isolation tanks?”

I train for my son. He said he wanted to be big and strong like me when he grew up. Even though he won’t get that chance to be what he wanted, I have to continue to be the person he saw me as.

No.. 38
I’m gonna train twice tomorrow. Once for me and once for that dude. Chris – we need more of you in the world

Great post Chris!

This is going out to my bootcamp clients and mailing list right now!

Justin

Hey – awesome stuff Chris. Thanks for sharing this.
I train because my dad has beaten pancreatic cancer for 3 years now , only 1% of the world has done that
Keep it up man you are one of the good warriors out there.
“If the wind will not serve, take to the oars”

Because I was that paralyzed mother fucker confined to a hospital bed and I owe it to myself to give it all I fucking got

I WAS feeling kind of lazy today. But after reading this, I’m going to go blast out my workout. Seriously Chris, if I ever need motivation, I just come here. It’s the most motivating site I know of.

I am going to print and plaster this shit all over my house! Thanks for sharing 🙂

I love number 23. I always say that I’m just going to do my warm-up!

BOOOOM!!! Excellent! That is all…. 🙂

Damn, I was going to take an off day then I read this.. going now… that shit was great.. thanks \

Love them all Chris, inspiration at its best dude 😉

#42 because Chris “motherfucking” McCombs said so.

Needed some motivation today after my shitty one rep max dead lift workout. About to kill another one.

Thanks!!

You got me at number 1 🙂 I didn’t think I would need 41 when I clicked to see the post, though. Love it, sharing this cause it is too freaking awesome

Awesome list dude, I train guys everyday which makes me train harder to stay one step ahead of the training I give them. I train some fucking awesome people so I can’t be smaller than them…
Kick ass posts.

Sweat like a pig to look like a fox … Hell yes it’s leg day, thank you for beating my excuses into submission 🙂

I can relate to all of this for sure; for as I emphasize in my new strength-training book, “There is a fountain of youth, It’s simply the heavy metal in your local gym.”
Absolutely nothing else can stop (or even reverse) the loss of muscle and bone that occurs with age like weight-training can.

Just…. all of it. FUCK YEAH!

I started an exercise program (via a personal trainer) six months ago and feel the best I have ever felt in my life. The looks ain’t bad either. It is no way but forward now.

#1 fucking a, about time someone was honest and blunt about working out. I do need to make more time to actually hit weights, my main workouts consist of jiu jitsu training. But Damn this is truth here and it shall be shared.

Woaahhhhhhh its really great 41 reasons to be better motherfucker

BRILLIANT!!! Loved it, some of those are really funny…but true! Ha ha, not brushing your teeth, brilliant 🙂
Don’t like all the swearing though…but hey, that’s just me & my client’s I guess 🙂
