Psst... Here's The Ultimate Bodybuilding Tip
This is a common factor that leads to failure in achieving your
ideal level of muscle and fitness.
Your Mind Isn't On The Ball: When you're rushed your mind isn't
on the task in hand. You're thinking of what's happening next,
or something that happened previously. But, either way, your
mind isn't letting you do your training properly. Imagine this
scenario --
Hold on!
Maybe you don't have to imagine. Just maybe, this is you:
During a set of squats you're thinking to yourself --
"one, two - I have to meet Johnny and get that training manual
from him - five - There's some great stuff in there. Oh! I
forgot, Johnny won't be home today - eight - Right so, that'll
give me time to that other things done - nine - I know there's
something else to do, I can - ten - remember - eleven."
Squat Finished!
Do you see what's just happened here?
Yes, maybe you were performing your squat routine. Nothing wrong
there. But you were thinking about everything else --
except the squat!
You were just able to manage to keep track of the count... or
were you?
I've often found that I either repeated a count, or left it out,
whenever I was thinking about something else. Ever notice that
with yourself before?
Before offering up a bodybuilding tip, just let me ask you
something:
Do you think that you will achieve the results, you desire so
badly, by letting your mind wander elsewhere except the task in
hand?
I don't think so, do you?
Bodybuilding Tip - Part 1: This goes hand in hand with another
bodybuilding tip - Managing Your Time. If you manage your time
properly, and you focus your mind on the task of building muscle
and fitness for the time needed, what do you think will happen?
Yep, you got it! You'll be more organized and focused. I knew
you'd get it:-)
I hear you say --
"This bodybuilding tip is all very well and good. But how would
I keep my mind focused on my training?"
Reasons: Yep, that's right... REASONS! You need to justify doing
something to make it worthwhile. If you have a good enough
reason to do something, you'll do it. If you don't, you won't...
it's as simple as that!
Your reason may be to build muscle and fitness and to be more
healthy. Great reasons. But not enough by itself. Or at least,
not enough to drive you more.
Here are some reasons you could add to the mix:
First you should ask yourself - "What are the reasons that "I"
want to build muscle and fitness?"
Create a small list of the benefits of working out, which helps
drive you even more than just that one benefit of 'building
muscle and fitness'. Benefits such as --
* Build healthy muscle * Build healthy bones * Build healthy
joints * Better sleep * Improve the immune system * Increase
endurance * Improve mental agility * Increase energy * Reduce
stress and tension * Improve my sex life:-)
These are the reasons for training. Building muscle and fitness
is very broad. You need to be specific about what you want. Then
when you are performing any exercise, you need to keep those
reasons in mind at the time. This leads to --
Bodybuilding Tip - Part 2: Reasons on their own are not strong
enough to keep your mind on the ball. You need to keep them in
mind everytime you train. That way you are less likely to lose
focus and think about everything else, except your training.
How do you do this?
Imagine seeing your muscle flex as you do a particular exercise.
Feel it. Work it in your mind. After all, muscle and fitness is
not just a physical thing... it's also a mind game. Mind and
body working as one. That's the ultimate training tool.
And it's probably the ultimate bodybuilding tip I can give you
right now. It's just that you lose the benefits of your workout
everytime your mind isn't on the ball. Also by keeping your
reasons in mind as you train, you are actually going to train
with much more heart than you would otherwise.
I hope this bodybuilding tip has helped you. By reading about it
is one thing. But taking action on it is another.
