Top 10 Motivational Weightlifting Quotes
“If you’re training hard and heavy with the goal of lifting something awesome, something is always going to hurt. Whether it’s your wrists, elbows, knees, hamstring, or even something ridiculous like a serratus muscle, one body part or another is always going to be giving you some bullshit. The elite athletes train in spite of or around those injuries.”
Jamie Lewis
8 Inspirational Weightlifting Quotes For Women
“I’ve been called every name. I’ve been called too skinny. I’ve been called too fat. I’ve been called too muscular. I think once you get to a place where there are so many more important things, like how you’re training and what your training goals are, you stop caring. I’m at a point where I don’t even care how I look. I think I look fine and I look happy, but that’s not my main focus anymore, which is so freeing. I can go to the gym and only focus on this one thing—getting better and getting stronger.”
Meg Squats
“People used to say that if women worked out, they would become masculine-looking or wouldn’t be able to get pregnant. We just laughed because we knew they were wrong.”
Abbye “Pudgy” Stockton
“I want her to look at me. I want her to stare me in the eye. I want her to see that I have no fear. I want her to know she stands no chance. I want her to be scared. I want her to know she is going to lose.”
Ronda Rousey
“There is no perfect time. No perfect opportunity. No perfect situation. No perfect moment. You either make it happen, or you don’t. You don’t wait for it to fall in your lap. You take it.”
Mattie Rogers
“Me doing what I’m doing is letting other people of color and other black women know: ‘Hey you can lift weights, too.’ Not only can you lift weights. You can try CrossFit, go backpacking, hike mountains, the list goes on. You don’t have to be a certain color to do any of these things. You can do whatever you want.”
Quiana “Chuckie” Welch
16 Weightlifting Quotes That Will Motivate You to Push Harder
“Your health account, your bank account, they’re the same thing. The more you put in, the more you can take out. Exercise is king and nutrition is queen. Together you have a kingdom.”
Jack LaLanne
“Unless you want to lift beyond your limits to get stronger, to achieve new goals, and to be satisfied, you have to lift past these challenges and still lift the things you think are impossible to really understand how your true strength will show. Lift how I lift, see how I lift, watch how I lift, learn how I lift, and your true strength will come forth and be revealed.”
Chasers Holmes
“Working chest, delts, tris, and biceps work is approximately 10% of your overall lean body mass. Working hard on deadlifts (bent legged, trap Bar, or sumo) or squatting (not necessarily at the same time) works more like 70% of your musculature at once and sends a strong message to your body to get better at growing now.”
Wesley Silveira
“No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without ever seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.”
Socrates

11 Weightlifting Quotes That Will Help You Become a Champion
“The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That’s what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they’ll go through the pain no matter what happens.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger
12 Thought-Provoking Weightlifting Quotes
“Most powerlifters share some common defects, as a whole for whatever reason, love to punish, beat, and torture ourselves beyond the limits of mind and body. It is our spirit that prevails. This defect of intelligence and sensibility pushes us onto the next level. Makes us better and stronger. We all have lifted sick and badly hurt. When this subject comes up with normal people and other meatheads, we all have the prideful smile when we talk about lifting with a 100 degree temperature or a torn groin. Thank God that therapy doesn’t work on us.”
Kirk Karwoski
“If you start lifting weights, you will expect to put weight on, as muscle is heavier than fat. But you have to look more at your body shape, you will get heavier, but you might get smaller and heavier at the same time, which is fine. And it doesen’t really matter what you weigh as long as you are happy with your shape and size.”
Victoria Pendleton
“To feel strong, to walk amongst humans with a tremendous feeling of confidence and superiority is not at all wrong. The sense of superiority in bodily strength is borne out by the long history of mankind paying homage in folkore, song and poetry to strong men.”
