Oh I have done it..and I see it all the time, The dreaded mind f*cking! I think more people fail in the Gym because they fail in their mind, before they ever really get started. I know this has been said before… but I’m going to say it again. Bodybuilding is a Life choice not a matter of fact. Example : People just can’t say hey I think I’m going to be a Bodybuilder and thats it…. you have to be willing to put the time in and do the work!
People come to me more as a motivator than as a trainer I would say. People seem to be able to work things out for themselves over time… when it comes to lifting and form, but it’s the getting past the time thing they always seem to need help with. Most of my clients need someone to push them (guiding them helps of course) but having someone in their face holds them accountable. Most people are not as afraid of letting themselves down, as they are of letting someone else down…. and I think that’s sad! I always say make yourself happy first….and whoever you can please along the way is just a bonus!….lol I always hear the same ole-words come out of almost every client I have, when I force Rep them….. I can’t! That’s when I shout…. You mean I Can’t stop right?? It’s amazing how not allowing someone to mind f*ck themselves out of the game will bring results. It’s said it’s Mind over matter…. and I say…. if you don’t mind…. it don’t matter! Concentrait more on the positive of the action, rather than the negative.
Here is a little trick I use (you can laugh if you like…but $100 says it helps) You almost have to role play! Thats right role play! I want to become as big as possible muscle wise…. pick a Bodybuilder you admire (yes you can pick me…lol ) and in your mind become that person. when you hit the Gym… hit the Gym as Arnold, Jay Cutler, Jonnie Jackson, Dexter, Dennis Wolf, Markus Ruhl, Ronnie Coleman…..Elmer F*cking Fudd….whoever you admire and work thru your workout like you would see them working thru your workout. Do the same for Nutirtion, sleeping, supplements and life in general! Now I know you may think that sounds crazy…. but think about it! When you are living the life you wish you could be living….how can you go wrong? Okay so you have to hold a job to to eat….thats the only kicker….lol I’m just saying here people….. succeed in your mind… and you will succeed in life! When you mind F*ck yourself out of it before you even try…. then your already doomed… why even waist you time? Building a Bodybuilder ego…is all part of building a Bodybuilders body! That’s the way I see it. So never say you can’t… because you can! Keep on Keepin!
Real Men Have Mass!
