According To Statistics, 97% Of You Will Fail! Will You!
So, if you lack the “symmetry” or “Balance,” do you give up and stand at the sideline, and let your dreams fade away like “Dust in the Wind”?
NO! You humble yourself! Let go of pride! You train hard developing hard sinewy muscle. You study the masters that have gone before. You practice posing for hours and hours perfecting every move. One posing trainer told me that “posing is mostly smoke and mirrors.” It’s like a magician doing “slight of hand” expressing the positive and doing suttle moves to make the weak parts of the body appear better then they are.
You need to be humble so you can be teachable and learn or you will be humbled, and then it is a matter of choice! Do you humble yourself and continue to strive and improve? Or quit!
When you look at my slogan it says, “Consistency with intensity brings DENSITY!”
When you first look at my mantra, you most likely think that I’m talking about the “physical” part of the body, yet actually that is the last part of what I mean. That mantra starts with the “Spiritual,” part of our life, then “Mental,” then “Emotional,” and finally the “Physical body,” in that order.
The Spiritual body is the “foundation” of our life, then we educate ourselves by mentally working and studying, taking in as much knowledge as possible. Then we ask ourselves, “How does that feel? Does it work for me?” Then we act on it, and DO IT all with, “Consistency and Intensity, and that will give us the, Density we are striving for Spiritually, Mentally, Emotionally, and finally Physically.
I compete mostly because I’m an obsessive compulsive. I am driven in every aspect of my life by OCD. It that a bad thing? Not if I keep balanced by keeping my mantra balanced with keeping the Spiritual balanced with the Mental, and the Mental balanced with the Emotional, and finally I can go at it Physically and train like hell. If I get one of the four parts of my body outta balanced, then the physical part will fail.
OK, the “Smoke and Mirrors?” That is acting as if, Faith if you will! You create the dream and live it, weather it materializes is up to you. If you believe you will succeed, then you will. If you believe you will fail…. then that will be you destiny.
The reason why I’m giving this little sermon, is because people ask me all the time, “What can I to to change?” “I want to look more like you!” The key to change isn’t just changing physical habits! One must change all aspects of their lives starting with the foundation, not the roof!
You are miserably fat and, or outta shape not because you’re doing something physically wrong creating bad habits! That is just the symptom of an inner struggle that needs to change first before you change the Physical body. That is why 97% of all people who go on diets and or exercise programs fail. They attack the symptom, not the problem. Start with the foundation first then work yourself up to the roof.
Where is your Consistency? Where is your Intensity? If you are outta balanced, and you have put the Physical before the Mental, Emotional, and most important, the Spiritual part of you life, then you are doomed to be one of the 97% who will fail to change your physical body. ed
Be Consistent! Be Intense! Become your Goal!
Consistency with intensity brings DENSITY!!

I Agree with you, for me Bodybuilding and lifting for my sports in the past has been more of a mental test than physical. You have to be mentally strong to be able to push past your own thresholds and conquer new goals. I say that why only 3% make it, because even those who have symmetry do not like to push their limits because they are weak in the mind. I like you do this like I have OCD though clinically I do not have this disorder, I had ADHD, I learned to channel my energy towards something positive. Now weight lifting has become a staple of my life. It has brought me places I never dreamed of. But I will disagree with you in the end of your blog, on needs to be able to accept themselves and what is going to need to be done before mentally before diving into the physical element, for it is our mentally when tackling our training that drives us through our workouts and our outlooks and what to expect and how we perceive our progress that continues to give us that drive so we can physically perform. I’m sorry but someone who Is depressed needs to find the reason and attack to resolve or they will be unfocused and goals will be harder to achieve. It’s the one thing I’ve dealt with many of times in my short 20 year life span.
