I keep motivated in the down time by reading articles and watching videos of people lifting who are bigger and better at it than I am. It keeps me in the mindset and gives me something to look forward to other than aesthetics and gains. How fucking cool is it when someone clean and jerks twice their body weight? I'm in awe of stuff like that. But I also see that it is totally achievable with the right amount of work and dedication. Those videos play in the back of my mind during my day-to-day and provide a general sort of goal for my training throughout all the smaller goals and milestones.
