 If you’ve been waiting until you “put on more size” before you enter a bodybuilding contest, you may want to reconsider that plan.
Competitive bodybuilding on stage is an ILLUSION!
You really have no idea how your entire body will “flow” together until you lose the vast majority of your body fat. Some body parts that don’t appear to be big enough or developed enough will look massively different after you’ve put yourself through an ambitious and intelligent contest preparation regimen.
When you are absolutely shredded, you will create an illusion of being much bigger on stage than you appear to be when looking in your bathroom mirror. When you are absolutely shredded, all of your body parts will start flowing together in a more symmetrical fashion like a beautiful piece of art.
You may be much further along than you think you are. You may be selling yourself far too short. You aren’t going to know how good you really are until you start shedding the excess body fat.
You also must remember that creative and intelligent posing and presentation skills HIGHLIGHT your strengths and CAMOUFLAGE your weakness.
Keep these points in mind as you prepare for that bodybuilding contest that you really want to enter—and when dealing with the negative emotions and feelings that will try to get the best of you during your journey.

Working past your setbacks with confidence is critical to your progress.
No matter what you’ve accomplished in the past, developing the certainty and confidence needed to take your past achievements and build upon them can be challenging. Believe me, everyone battles with self-doubt from time to time. This angst we feel inside can tempt you to settle for the level of development you’ve already achieved. In fear, you may want to “cash in you chips” so to speak and make yourself believe you’re satisfied with where you are right now.
But settling isn’t going to get you to that higher level. And, because you are a person who would even take the time to read this blog, I don’t believe you’ll be satisfied until you make improvements—no matter how hard you try to convince yourself that what you’ve done in the past is “good enough.”
In order to gain the certainty and confidence to take your efforts to a higher level, you must learn how to effectively deal with the angst going on inside your head.
Control your emotions.
First of all, you need to realize that you are not alone. Even the greatest champions question their abilities from time to time. Fear is an emotion even the people who are the best at what they do face on a continual basis. Being fearful from time to time comes with the territory when demanding yourself to constantly improve. As a matter of fact, fear most likely creeps into the mindset of highly successful people even more than it does for the average person because of the risks they are more willing to take to achieve success. So, if you are fearful to push yourself beyond what you might be capable of pulling off on occasion, join the club! You’re in good company.
Courage is the character quality that will overcome fear and angst. Successful people instinctively and immediately exhibit the courage the instant fear creeps into their psyche. But courage is an acquired skill—just like strength in the gym and endurance while doing cardiovascular training. The only way to develop courage is by using it. The only way to make courage a prominent part of your character is by using it often.
Take Action and Do This NOW!
Whatever you do, resist the temptation to rationalize and make excuses when things don’t happen the way you want. Don’t let fear, angst and disappointment—instead of courage—dictate what you expect out of your life. Don’t let rationalization—instead of courage—become what you call upon when fear presents itself.
We can become our own worst enemies when we experience stagnation and setbacks, can’t we? Sometimes, you have to focus on what you want rather than worrying about what you don’t want.
If you’re determined to achieve great gains, you will undoubtedly face self-doubt along the way—and that’s okay. Control your emotions. Deal with the angst inside. Face your fears head-on and muster up the courage to overcome them.

This Is One Lesson You Do NOT Want to Learn on Contest Day!
You must be well-conditioned for your show. All the muscle in the world will NOT help you do well in a show if it’s covered by too much body fat.
You must establish this empowering belief structure long before you are about to step on stage. When you’re dejected standing up there looking way too standing next to a competitor or two who really “did their homework,” it’s far too late to do anything about it.
Too many competitive bodybuilders worry about “losing muscle” as they diet down for a contest. They stop dieting as aggressively as they once did and/or cut down their structured cardiovascular training because they “think” they are getting too small.
The better conditioning (degree of leanness) you present on stage, the more of an illusion of massive size you’ll create. Ripped may look “small” in your bathroom mirror at home—but it will look HUGE on the contest stage. And, that’s the ONLY place that counts!

 Many Bodybuilders Don’t Eat the Carbohydrates Their Bodies Need And Mistakenly Believe They Are Doing Themselves a Favor
This challenge happens when bodybuilders go overboard eliminating carbohydrates that will help the muscle-building process.
Here’s the challenge:
“I’m trying to lose body fat so I’m restricting my carbohydrates down to almost zero. The only problems is that I think I’m losing a lot of muscle”
Many bodybuilders who are trying to lose body fat choose to go on extremely low carbohydrate diets. Low-carbohydrate diets can help you shed body fat. There’s no doubt about it. They are effective because low-carb diets can create a deficit between the calories you eat versus the calories you burn every day. That’s the key to losing body weight.
Unfortunately, some of the weight you lose on a low-carbohydrate diet will include some of the muscle you’ve worked so hard to put on—and not only unwanted body fat. You may not be satisfied with how much muscle you need to sacrifice on your way to dumping your fat. You can improve your muscle loss to fat loss ratio simply by making a few minor adjustments to your nutritional habits.
In the past, I too was a big advocate of low-carbohydrate diets. They helped me get ripped–but they didn’t help me protect the muscle I had and you can forget about them helping me effectively build more muscle. A more efficient approach to dieting could have helped me get just as lean and assist in preserving and building muscle at the same time.
Drastically reducing the amount of carbohydrates you eat may not be as critical to losing body fat as you might think. In fact, eliminating carbohydrates at important times of the day may prevent you from putting on as much muscle as you are capable of packing-on.
Carbohydrates serve as an essential part in the muscle-building process. Instead of trying to eliminate carbohydrates altogether, you should make sure you are eating the right types of carbohydrates at the right times of day.
I never realized how important eating the right carbohydrates at the right times of the day was to my muscle-building and muscle-preserving efforts. However, I evolved into an “efficient” eater. I learned to eat the right foods at the right times.
Take Action and Do This NOW!
As I previously mentioned, when I started consuming high-glycemic carbohydrates before and immediately after my workouts, I began to build and preserve more muscle. I didn’t avoid the fat-burning glucose type of carbohydrates like I did in the past. “Sugary” or glucose types of carbohydrates are supposed to be bad for you as a bodybuilder, right? That’s what I’ve read. How about you?
Those high-glycemic, glucose carbohydrates were in my pre-workout and post-workout meals. Eating this type of carbohydrate at these times spiked my insulin levels and helped to force the much-needed protein I ate with them into the muscles.
When you are outside of a three-hour period of time outside your workouts, the you want to limit your carbohydrates to the ones that fall into the low glycemic index.
Vegetables are a great source of these types of carbohydrates. The great thing is that you can eat as much as you want. If I had anything close to resembling a “secret weapon” that I could offer in terms of nutritional practices, it would be to eat as many vegetables as humanly possible every day.
Besides providing an excellent, sustained source of energy, these fibrous carbohydrates allow me to eat a larger amount of food by volume than starchy carbohydrates (such as rice, pasta, potatoes, etc.) and do so with a fewer number of calories.
Eating vegetables gives me more “bang for my buck” so to speak. I can practically eat as many vegetables as I wish during a meal and easily stay within my allowed daily caloric intake. The ability to eat more food by volume is a huge mental benefit when I’m forced to restrict my daily calorie consumption in an effort to lose excess body fat. Just about all the calories in the vegetables you eat are negated by the work it takes your body to digest them. The opposite is true when eating starchy carbohydrates. A person must be very careful not to include too many calories in starchy carbohydrates in his or her diet—which is not hard to do.
Because of the low glycemic value in vegetables, my insulin levels are managed much more efficiently than when I eat starchy carbohydrates. That means fewer “up and downs” in my energy levels, fewer mood swings, and less chance for excess calories I may eat to be stored as unwanted body fat.
Eating vegetables also slows down the digestive process. Slowing down the digestive process will ensure that my body efficiently utilizes the precious protein I eat and depend on to repair and build muscle tissue.
I’ll be the first one to admit that eating vegetables is not nearly as satisfying as eating a delicious bowl of rice or oatmeal. But after taking the time to wean myself off those starchy carbohydrates, I hardly notice the difference.
Although some people believe fresh vegetables are best for you, don’t be afraid to take advantage of the convenience of frozen vegetables. There is only a slight difference in the nutritional values of frozen vegetables versus fresh ones. They are definitely easier to prepare and are relatively inexpensive. Busy people just don’t have time to clean and cut fresh vegetables. Instead of excluding these important foods, just take them out of the freezer and put them into your food container before you leave for work. By the time of your mid-morning meal, they should be thawed. If you have access to a microwave, delicious hot veggies will be ready to eat in only a few minutes.

 Contest Preparation SECRETS: Taking Scheduled Physique Assessment Photos During Your Contest Preparation
Although It May Be Painful At Times To See the Way You Really Look During Your Journey, You Must Take Assessment Photos Every Step Along the Way.
Be sure to take pictures to document the changes and improvements your body experiences during your contest preparation journey. You should take pictures on a regular basis. Weekly physique assessment photos during your last 12 to 20 weeks prior to your show will be tremendously helpful tools as you strive to become your very best.
Sometimes you’ll like what you see in the pictures—and sometimes you will not. These photos will sometimes be rewarding, motivating, constructively critical, a boost to your ego, fun, and mementos that you’ll cherish in the future.
But let me warn you that weekly physique assessment photos can sometimes be depressing, mentally taxing, emotionally draining, inconvenient, and challenge your desire to continue as well. It’s up to you to use the photos and the positive and/or negative feedback to your advantage. The chances are great that you will not always be satisfied with the progress (or lack of progress) your physique assessment photos demonstrate.
It will be very common for you to think that your progress is actually much better than the photos reveal. Pictures, however, do NOT lie. That’s how you really look. It’s your perception that lies. Remember that it’s a lot better to find out what you need to work on 20 weeks before a contest when you can actually do something about it than 20 minutes after your contest when you can’t.
No matter how much of an inconvenience physique assessment photos may be to take, invest the time to follow through and take them anyway. No matter how painful or disappointing they may be to look at, be sure you take them anyway.
Physique assessment photos will help you become the very best you can be when your contest date arrives. And, when you look at the photos a few months after your show, you’ll realize then that you were much too hard on yourself at the time the photos were taken.
Displaying your hard-earned development in the most complimentary manner is very important when you step on stage in front of the judges at contest time. Physique assessment photos are also a good opportunity for you to practice your mandatory poses and show off your physique properly.
Invest in a digital camera with a self-timer. You should also buy a tripod. That way, you will not need to depend on anyone else to take your pictures. Believe me, it will be tough enough to stay motivated to take you own physique assessment shots on a weekly basis. Don’t complicate the process even more by creating the need to coordinate with another person.
Set the camera on the tripod at the same position the judges will be doing their work: Looking up at your physique about 15 to 20 feet away.
You should also take the photos in as close to the exact same setting every time. That way, you can make fair comparisons and better evaluate your progress. If you take your pictures outside, try to take them at the same time of day. How the sun casts shadows on your body will be important to the quality and usefulness of the physique assessment photos.

 Many Bodybuilders Constantly Switch from One Plan to Another
Momentum is a powerful force for you to use when striving for your bodybuilding goals. Most people never have the chance to experience the tremendous benefits created by momentum. Unfortunately, they give up hope, focus, and discipline. They are continually starting and stopping, starting and stopping, and starting and stopping again. Sure, they’ll eventually regenerate their enthusiasm and optimistically start again—only to stop when they perceive their challenges as too difficult to overcome. They see themselves as doing a lot of work—without seeing results they mistakenly believe should match their overestimated efforts.
At one time or another, we’ve all accomplished our short-term bodybuilding goals such as having a good day of training and eating properly. Those victories give us great feelings, don’t they? No matter how great that single event or day may be, one training session or one day of outstanding habits alone will not create an outstanding physique.
When you can turn that one great day into a great week, that great week into a great month, and string together a series of great months, you begin to create the powerful force known as momentum.
When you can harness the awesome power of momentum to help you in your bodybuilding efforts, the task of constructing an admirable body will suddenly seem incredibly easier. With the power of momentum working for you, the tasks that once seemed difficult to get yourself to do will become amazingly easy.
Take Action and Do This NOW!
Give your training routine the time it needs to produce results. Stick with a workout plan long enough to see results. Oftentimes, results don’t come as quickly as we’d like so it’s important to be patient. You must give the program a chance to take hold and begin working. Don’t make the same mistake many people do and bounce from one program to another without giving any one of them a concerted effort first. Generally, a three-month period is long enough to properly evaluate a program’s effectiveness. If you come across a different, but interesting routine before three months have been completed with your current program, do yourself a favor and refrain from using it until later.
Likewise, give your nutritional program enough time to properly determine its effectiveness. The way you eat will have a tremendous effect on your results. Just as you should stick with your training program, you also must follow your nutritional plan for a long enough period of time to see the results it will yield. A couple of months of dedicated adherence should be long enough to assess the eating plan’s effectiveness.

Just How Mentally and Emotionally Tough Are You?
The difference between a champion and a runner-up competitor is oftentimes the standards they hold themselves to when preparing for a show.
All competitive bodybuilders train with weights but there are many different levels of effort and execution one can produce. Most bodybuilders will do some cardiovascular training when they get ready for a contest but how intensely, effectively, and consistently they do that cardiovascular training will make a huge difference in the quality of their physiques. Every bodybuilder will cut their calories as they strive to get shredded for a show but how much pain they are willing to endure and for how long will vary greatly.
The “wildcard” factor, so to speak, that will determine how good you will be on contest day is how well you align all of the mental and emotional variables in your life. I’m not referring to what you do in the gym, on the recumbent bike, or at the dinner table to get ready for a contest.
The “wildcard” factor I’m referring to is getting your head on straight and thinking clearly throughout the entire contest preparation journey. I call this critical aspect of becoming the very best you can be on contest day “getting your house in order.”

So, You Haven’t Put the Effort Into Your Eating Habits for Far Too Long–and You Want Results Overnight? How Much Sense Does That Make?
Many Bodybuilders Have Unrealistic Expectations for the Eating Plan They’ve Chosen
 This mistake occurs when bodybuilders don’t give the nutritional plan they’ve chosen adequate time to see results before switching to another one or giving up altogether.
Here’s the challenge:
“I tried one of the popular eating plans a couple of weeks ago—but it just didn’t work for me. It just wasn’t right for my body type. I think I’m going to start this new diet I’ve been reading about.”
You must give the diet you have chosen your full focus and attention in order to get the best results. Just about any diet, when implemented on a consistent basis, will work for you. But, you must have confidence in your diet in order for you to give it your full focus and attention.
People let themselves become confused easily and can’t even get started on a nutritional plan without 100 percent certainty that the diet plan they are doing will work for them.
With all the diets available, it will be almost impossible for you to have 100 percent certainty and confidence in the diet you have chosen. Just when you think you are on the right path, you will hear or read about a new “miracle” diet. Just when you are ready to dig in and get going on a structured eating program, a person you know will tell you about all the amazing results they are getting with their diet—which seems very different than yours. Heck! Even if your diet is working, you will sometimes doubt if it is working well or fast enough.
Instead of focusing on the differences, try to discover how the diets are similar. You need to ask yourself, “What do these diets have in common?
If you are not getting the results you want with your diet, you’ll need to raise your standards. You either need to do a “little more of this” or a “little less of that.”
Take Action and Do This NOW!
Food selection, food quantities, meal frequency, meal timing, cardiovascular training intensity, cardiovascular training frequency, weight training, and weight training frequency are all factors that are 100 percent in your own control. Focus on finding the right combination of these factors that work best for you. You must determine what you must do more of and what you must do less of to reach your body improvement goals.

You Must Have Faith In Your Plan!
Don’t try to gauge the quality of your body’s development or level of conditioning too often. Have confidence in the plan-of-attack that you’ve adopted. You must have a sense of certainty that if you eat properly, train hard, and meet most (if not all) of the small daily goals that you’ve set, you’ll be your very best at the end.
If you try and gauge how you look too often, you’ll drive yourself crazy. Your perspective will probably change about 100 times during the course of your contest preparation season.
You are NOT in the right mindset due to the strict dieting needed and the stress preparing for your contest to make objective evaluations on a day-to-day basis.
More importantly, you can’t make rational adjustments to your plan on a day-to-day basis.No one can.

 Many Bodybuilders Don’t Take the Scheduled Breaks Off From Weight Training That They Must Have to Grow—and Mistakenly Believe They Are Helping the Muscle-Building Process.
Some bodybuilders want to train for months on end without taking an extended weeklong break from lifting weights. Again, I certainly appreciate their enthusiasm to train. Training intensity, which is the cornerstone to productivity in the gym, inevitably drops when you go on marathon runs without a break—even if you don’t realize it.
Take Action and Do This NOW!
You absolutely must schedule enough time out of the gym so your body can fully recover. You will need to take a week off from training every eight to ten weeks. Your muscles grow when they are recuperating out of the gym. This time out of the gym and off of training will allow your body to rest and recuperate adequately. When you return to the gym after these breaks, you’ll be fortified with renewed physical intensity and mental energy.
You must understand that the seemingly step backwards you experience when you return after taking a week off will go away soon enough. I understand how that uncoordinated feeling breaks your momentum. You don’t perform as well the first week back in the gym. You aren’t always as strong. You must fight through this discomfort. You’ll be back up to speed during your second week back—and your body will respond better to training in the weeks ahead. Trust me. Enjoy your weeklong break. If you’ve trained hard, effectively and efficiently, you deserve the break.

“I feel that, no matter where someone is in their journey, they can benefit from ‘The Mindset and Actions of a Champion.’ It’s fortified with lots of great information from a widely-known, accomplished World Class athlete and coach. I believe the strength of this program comes from the centralized purpose of simply helping others succeed. Each stage is structured, well-rounded, sincere, and provides fuel for the fire to find the focus needed and keep the momentum going. Now that I have successfully completed all the sessions, I’ll review them to help me stay inside the guardrails as I work towards my goals.
