Did You Know That Your Mind is Your Most Important Tool for Building Muscle Mass?

        Your mind, and it's mental power, is the strongest tool you have to build the body of your dreams.  It is the most powerful asset you have to change anything in your life.  I know you have heard "it's all in your head" but in many cases its true.

        Your sub-conscious mind is where the true power lies.  It directs many, many aspects of your life so your conscious mind or "mental awareness" does not have to.  It works as a computer by processing information without judgment, so if you give it positive information it will give you positive results.

So how can your mind be so powerful??

        I have been studying the human mind and trying to understand why some people are extremely successful and others are total failures.  And since my first love in life is fitness, more specifically natural bodybuilding, I have been applying what I have learned about this weight lifting system to my training for about 11 years now.

        Over the past 11 years I have learned from some of the best motivational speakers, life coaches, hypnotists, businessmen and psychiatrists.  Included in my research would be reading their books, listening to their tapes, going to their seminars, and going on a couple of their weekend retreats.  Some of the people I have learned from are people you have heard of, such as: Tony Robbins, Marshall Sylver, Deepak Chopra, Robert Allen, Robert Kiyosaki and the list goes on and on.

        Believe me, these people know what they are talking about and I will explain the concepts in such a way that you can apply them to achieving your fitness goals.  So you may be wondering, "how can my mental power help build my physical body?"

Most people use the power of their mind in negative ways!

        Like I said before your sub-conscious mind does not make decisions by itself, it only works with the information you give to it.  So if you tell yourself things like "I can't lift this weight", "I'm not getting any stronger", or "I am not making any progress" that is exactly what you will get.  Does this sound familiar?  People are sabotaging their own success! 

        The reason this happens is because your mind really wants to help you and it believes that you are always right.  So when you say to yourself "I am not making any progress" your sub-conscious mind helps you to think about all the reasons you aren't making any progress and it actually inhibits the biochemical reactions in your body that promote muscular growth!  As a result, your sub-conscious mind helped to prove that you are right.  This example shows the power of your mind in a negative way but lets look at the flip side......

        Lets say that you tell yourself (and you believe it) that you are making wonderful progress in the gym with all your lifts.  Again, your sub-conscious mind always wants to prove that you are right so it finds for you the reasons that you are making progress.  Thoughts will be coming into your head about how you have been giving 100% on each and every set, your diet is solid, and you get plenty of rest each night.  This way you truly believe you are doing everything right to make progress and your mind will help to make this true because it ALWAYS believes you are right.

        So as long as you understand the power your mind possesses and you use it to your advantage, you can achieve goals beyond your wildest dreams.  This will work in your fitness goals as well as all other areas of your life.  This is the biggest secret behind the most successful people in the world, they use their mental power to their advantage.

So how do you harness this power inside your mind?

        You have a few options on how to go about acquiring this valuable and vital information for yourself.  I'll explain each one briefly and you can decide what is best for you.

        First, you could buy all the books, tapes, seminar tickets, etc. from the big names in motivational speaking and business success.  Be ready to spend a lot of money because their products do not come cheap!  Tony Robbins doesn't make over $10 million a year by selling his products at an affordable price.  Learn from my experience and research and save all that money!

        The second thing you could do is teach yourself through trial and error.  This will take you a long, long time because you have to try an idea for a few months and see if you make any progress.  If you didn't then you can try another idea for a few months.  If that one didn't work either you can try again and again and again.  See how long this will take you?

        Third, you could do nothing.  But who would want to keep the same out of shape body for the rest of their lives?  You want to advance your physique and reach your fitness and/or natural bodybuilding goals don't you?  Doing nothing and staying the same will not help your situation.

        Finally, you could learn from my research and knowledge.  I love teaching people these concepts, principles, ideas and habits because seeing someone break the chains that are holding them back is the greatest reward I can get.  I have done all the grunt work so don't have to.

Mind over matter

 The transition of approach in natural bodybuilding is a great aspect as bodybuilding has thousands of techniques and concepts.  The very important element is transition of mind and body.  We can see that transition in mind and exercise beginning from the very first day of training.  This real feeling changes during every new day of exercise and when a beginner trains for weeks he will feel much change and improvement in his body and mind.

After proper training of more than a year his entire view about the iron sport will change and shall continue to change by the passage of time because experience is the best teacher.  After following new modern principles of training a bodybuilder can change his entire training program from every angle.

Transformation is an ultimate wish of every bodybuilder and it requires the ultimate concentration of mind and soul together with great effort in training.  The mind over matter is an interesting fact.  For example, if you are trying to push 275lbs of weight on the bench and you are not making it, but after few minutes you somehow get inspired and your mind suddenly gets ready for the push then your muscles will follow too and you be able to push the weight to some extent.

    In bodybuilding one thing must never be forgotten and that is to go for the maximum.  Never think of less.  You should train to your limit on every set and every rep.  This is the path to stimulating the most muscle fibers to grow.

One step at a time

Like in real life you take one step at a time; this idea also applies to natural bodybuilding.  Each step you take you must understand the philosophy behind your weight training and muscle building nutrition, as your greater understanding will create your transformation because your body will follow what your heart will follow.  Positive thinking is the best thinking.  People might say to you that "hey you don’t have a nice body yet," but this sentence must not be taken as real and you should work the best to achieve the ultimate growth.  As there are always infinite capacity of growth present in your mind and body.

Setbacks may occur in life and also in bodybuilding but this does not mean you should stop.  In very clear meaning, the ultimate transformation of body will take place when you will stimulate your mind and body to extreme levels but with one step at a time because this will make the base of your physique strong from deep within.  Bodybuilding is just not about building muscles, it teaches you a variety of techniques on various aspects and approaches in life.  It increases your courage and willpower.

What you think is what you'll get

     Your mental images manifest in your physical world. Here are some questions you need to ask yourself:

1. How can you become lean, fit and healthy if all you think about is gaining weight and eating your favorite junk food?

2. How can you possibly be successful if all you think about is failing or losing?

3. How can you possibly make more money if you focus on being in debt?

4. How can you possibly get a better job if your energy is spent thinking about how much you hate your current one?

You see, in life everything counts.  You are where you are, right now at this moment, because of your consistent thoughts, images, and actions, which is the composite of your habits.  From this day forward, if you want to change your future, you must change your internal thoughts.

In order to achieve your ideal body, your ideal state of thinking, your optimum level of health and performance in all areas of your life you must change your mental diet.  You must get rid of all negative, self defeating and destructive material, conversations, unnecessary relationships, and images in your home and workplace.

Replace negative thoughts with empowering images by changing what you read, what you watch on TV and the Internet.  Change the music you listen to.  If you're depressed and you want to get to a higher more invigorating state, don't listen to sad "poor me" drippy songs.  Put on what I call great memory music.  You know, the music you played when everything in your life was wonderful.  Let your mind take you back there to that place.  Soon you will feel powerful again.

Never look back at your past mistakes.  That's why they call it the past!  You know what didn't work, you know where your strength is.  Call upon it.  Develop your own success program.  Each of us has our own ideal image of success!

Hypnotism is a very powerful tool

I think I speak for all serious bodybuilders, whether you have competition goals or you just simply want a better physique, when I say that we are all constantly brainstorming for a way to conjure mental power to aid us along our bodybuilding journey.  Well, what if I told you that by using the following simple mental exercises daily, you could ultimately reach and surpass all of your bodybuilding and personality goals with ease, and continue to make excellent progress for years? 

Hypnotism is defined as stimulating the subconscious mind to reach a high level of success, one that you couldn't do with your conscious mind alone.  The brain is generally made up of three sections: the conscious, unconscious, and the subconscious. 

Your conscious mind perceives and determines ideas and objects in everyday life; it basically compares things to one and other, and makes choices.  Your unconscious mind is just a defense mechanism and protects the life of an organism.  The subconscious portion is what we will be discussing, because it can be "tuned" to make your bodybuilding choices easier if you stimulate it properly.  The subconscious mind does not have the ability to compare, determine or reason like the conscious mind does.  If stimulated to send information back to the conscious mind, that thought will shape and be responsible for your behavior.

The subconscious can be honed and allow you to become a great bodybuilder, if you let it.  Every mind has an unbelievable potential for success if it is unlocked with hypnotism.  As much as you can believe and your mind can conceive, to that degree you will be successful and complete your goals.  Here is a simple process called "the charter method", which I attribute much of my successful training to.

It is very simple, you just simply chart all of your desires and goals you wish to reach, and think of yourself as already having accomplished them.  First, chart how you want to look.  Vividly describe every detail of your physique, as long as it is attainable and not a goal that is set too high.

Example:

"I have excellent symmetry, sheer size and definition.  My traps are big, thick and insert widely into my perfectly round sculpted shoulders.  All together, my deltoids give the illusion of great width and complete muscularity.  My chest is perfectly sculpted and thick.  Upper, as well as lower mass, delt-pec tie in, and a noticeable crevice running down the middle to give them a large, square look.  My back is very wide, thick and fans out like wings, obviously the largest muscles on my upper body.  My arms are mounds of thick powerful muscle, biceps high peaked, triceps overflowing with mass, and bands of muscle lining my forearms."

Next, you must chart your desired personality traits such as confidence, faith, strength, determination, focus, willpower, etc.  Maybe something like this for strength:

"I have attained unbelievable brute strength.  I feel complete confidence as I increase my lifts with additional repetitions and poundages ritually, like clockwork.  I experience a true feeling of power while performing exercises.  I am consistently moving more weight with more reps and at a faster, more controlled pace."

Concentration:

"While working out, I display a true mind muscle connection with a calm and determined approach, testing the limits of muscular stimulation.  I feel every burning accumulation of lactic acid, as well as the exact extension, powerful contraction as well as every individual muscle fiber as I continue my sets.  I fully exhaust the target muscle group providing maximum stimulation for growth.  I remind myself how much I want to get bigger and stronger constantly throughout my workouts."

Pre-workout Mindset:

"I will move more weight for more reps and reach a new level of success, crushing previously set barriers.  I will display true mind-muscle connection and completely exhaust the target muscle group and move on."

Read your charter whenever you feel it is needed, such as when you wake up; feel tempted when something else comes along and of course before a strength training workout.  I encourage you to allow your bodybuilding experience to be fulfilling, soaring and fun.
