Achieving Bodybuilding Success

When it comes to gaining muscle, you can find literally hundreds of articles, opinions and "gurus" who will dish out advice like there's no tomorrow! The truth is that different things work for different people, but ultimately, the human body functions the same in everyone. Yes, some people are more genetically superior, some more motivated and others get classified as "hard-gainers"!

The power of the Mind!

Let's get one thing straight, the building blocks to developing a superior body can be summarized in two words: "motivation" and "persistence". This cannot be emphasized enough. As long as you are motivated in the first place and persistent, you will get the body you want.

Set a goal as of today and work out exactly how you are going to get there. For example, if you see yourself as 20 pounds heavier in six months, break down exactly how you are going to get there. What you will eat, how you will train, what will your thoughts be, how much weight you will lift, what activities you will do and so on. Think of these as a whole and then break them down even more, as in how many times a week you will train and what each training session will consist of.

You see, you need to set goals and keep to them. Your mind will then be constantly aware of these goals and work towards them. If you don't know where you want to go, then you will never get there! You need to be specific.

To develop motivation and a more positive attitude get the book "Psycho-Cybernetics" by Maxwell Maltz. You should be able to get it at your local library or book store and also at Amazon.com

Use the techniques exactly as the book says, for about 15 to 30 minutes every day and you will be surprised at how much of a difference it will make in your training and in your life.
