First Step in Contest Dieting Is Conditioning Your Metabolism Fast

Friday, August 28th, 2009

By Skip La Cour
Six Time National Bodybuilding Champion
Success  Coach

Dieting Correctly for Your Contest Is A Lot More Than Just  Cutting Your Calories and Not Eating Pizza

It should go  without saying thatur diet is an extremely important part of contest  preparation. The way you eat during your journey will have the greatest  impact–bar none–on the quality of the physique you’ll ultimately present on  stage.

Here are the two definitions I use for the word “diet” as they  refer to your contest preparation nutritional program:

One definition  for the word “diet” is to eliminate (or drastically reduce) the amount of  non-healthy “junk” food meals that you eat. All of your meals (or the great  majority of them) should include only the standard bodybuilding foods such as  lean meats, egg whites, unprocessed starchy carbohydrates; vegetables, protein  powders and meal replacements .

In addition to eliminating certain foods  while you are dieting, eating properly at this time means eating enough of the  right foods at the most efficient times during the day in order to build muscle  mass and lose body fat.

The other definition I use for the word “diet”  would still include the elimination of non-healthy foods but, in this particular  definition, this type of dieting also means that you eat in a calorie-deprived  manner. In other words, you intentionally eat fewer calories than your body will  burn every day.

It’s important to understand that, just because you  refrain from eating delicious, non-healthy foods, you will not necessarily shed  your body fat and get shredded for a contest–no matter how long you cut out  those foods from your nutritional program. You must gradually and subtly  “starve” yourself a little in order to drop your body fat levels.

The  first step of your contest diet is conditioning your metabolism to run faster  and more efficiently. But don’t reduce your calories too much too far out from  your contest. You should eat as much “clean” food as possible when you start  your diet. That way, you have more room to gradually reduce your daily caloric  intake. As long as you are losing weight with food you are eating and have  allowed plenty of time to get yourself ready for your contest, don’t worry about  how much food you are eating.

To speed up your metabolism, you also need  to start cleaning up your diet. By “cleaning up” I mean that you should greatly  reduce (if not totally eliminate) unhealthy, non-bodybuilding, or “junk” meals.  You must start eating all of your meals at well-planned, specifically-scheduled  times throughout the day. That will get your metabolism running smoothly,  efficiently, and like “clockwork.”

“I would really like to thank you for your  training, nutrition, and competition advice in your ULTIMATE Contest Preparation  seminar. I invested in your seminar not knowing what to expect. I came out of it  feeling more dedicated and more confident than ever for my competition. This is  also my first competition, so every single detail of the competition preparation  is all on paper and good to go! I get to listen to YOU tell me everything I need  to know and be prepared for in the comfort of my own home, bus, car, etc. I feel  mentally and physically stronger than ever before, my goals are much stronger,  and I have never wanted to win anything so badly in my life.

The cost is priceless compared  to the years of experience you have amassed. You have done the years of hard  work and experimentation which has lead to a set of strategies that are the most  effective and efficient. I’m certain I will get greater results in less time and  absolutely no guess work. All I will have to do is follow your advice ‘to a T’  and work hard.”

Keep Your Head Up! You ARE Making Progress from Your Efforts

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

By Skip La Cour
Six-Time National Champion
Success Coach<em />

Many Bodybuilders Don’t Recognize or  Appreciate the Progress They Are Making

Hitting a plateau, or in other words, having your training progress come to a screeching halt, is probably one of the most feared and frustrating events a person can ever experience. There isn’t anyone on this planet who wants to work extremely hard at something—and not show signs of improvement. This is especially true when it comes when adhering to a demanding bodybuilding lifestyle.

Becoming stagnant with your training progress will surely lead to frustration—a feeling that undercuts the level of fulfillment you hope to enjoy from your efforts. The mounting frustration, if not quickly alleviated, will eventually overwhelm you. Becoming overwhelmed is the primary reason many people stop training altogether.

Unfortunately, too many people quit due to the frustration caused by a merely perceived lack of progress. With this disempowering perception, they can only muster a halfhearted effort—at best—as a way of protecting themselves from experiencing the pain. This situation occurs whether or not the person realizes what is happening.

Stop and think about your situation for a moment. Can your progress ever really stop if you are consistently putting forth your best effort? If you are training with any type of regularity and intensity, and supporting that training with sound nutritional practices, you can rest assured you are not really stagnant—regardless of what you may think. Oftentimes, you will be improving even when you don’t necessarily feel you are.

One of my favorite illustrations of what I am explaining comes from motivational speaker Zig Ziglar. In his story “Primin’ the Pump,” Ziglar talks about a man who goes to an old-fashioned well to pump some drinking water. The man pushes the pump’s lever over and over again, and is seemingly making no progress whatsoever.

The man is indeed making progress, however; it just isn’t visible to him at the time. Deep in the underground pipes, suction is being created and is slowly siphoning the water to the surface. If he gets discouraged and stops pumping, the water will fall again—and he’ll have to start all over.

If he is persistent, the man will eventually see results from his efforts and enjoy a surging flow. At this point, he’ll no longer need to pump as hard because now only a little force produces enough water to equal ten times the effort he gave at the beginning.

Sometimes it feels as though you are putting ten times the effort into your training than you seem to be getting in improvements. But, if you are persistent, you will enjoy the benefits of living the bodybuilding lifestyle that could be ten times greater than the effort you invest—just like the man who was primin’ the pump. You just never know for sure—so be persistent.

Take Action and Do This NOW!

Appreciate what you’ve already accomplished. Look back for a moment. Haven’t you really accomplished a lot more than you may have thought? Aren’t you a lot farther along than you were a year ago today? Wouldn’t it be great to look back in another year and see the continual progress you have made?

What if you wasted an entire year simply because you lost your motivation and strayed away from your plan? Wouldn’t that wasted time feel much worse than if you simply remained committed and worked through the times when your motivation is a bit lower than you would like?

The chances are pretty good that you’ve worked through times like these before. There probably aren’t any good reasons why you won’t successfully pull through these downtimes again.

A real tragedy is when a person who is “winning” at their bodybuilding and training efforts mistakenly believes they are losing. A way to prevent this from happening to you is by finding effective ways to track and monitor your efforts. Taking the time to assess your training and eating habits on a weekly basis can help you maintain the right perspective. More often than not, you’ll realize that you are doing much better than you thought you were before reflecting back on your efforts.

Which Protein Source Is Better for Contest Preparation?

Friday, August 21st, 2009

By Skip La Cour
Six Time National Bodybuilding Champion
Success  Coach

Contest Preparation SECRETS: Which  Protein Source Is Better for Contest Preparation? Beef, Chicken, Tuna, or Egg  Whites?

Make Your Decision as to Which Protein You’ll Eat–And Then  Execute with Confidence!<strong />

Many competitive bodybuilders  debate as to which form of “real” food protein sources are the very best when  preparing for a show. Beef, chicken, tuna, and egg whites seem to be the most  popular protein sources.

So, what EXACTLY is the very best source of  real food protein? Many bodybuilders feel that beef gives their muscles a fuller  appearance. Some people choose chicken because they believe their body processes  it more efficiently than other proteins. Others choose tuna because it has a  lower caloric content per ounce and is more convenient. And, why egg whites?  Could it be because they are more of a “breakfast food” or our bodybuilding  forefathers all ate egg whites? Personally, I don’t believe it matters what type  of real food protein you eat—as long as the grams of protein and/or the calories  it contains fits within your strategically-planned contest preparation diet.

I understand, however, every bodybuilder has his personal preference and  his reasons behind it. Some bodybuilders believe that certain proteins make  their muscle appear fuller. As far as a type of protein makes your muscles  appear fuller, that’s probably a particular bodybuilder’s personal preference or  opinion based on emotion. And, if you’ve been though the mental and emotional  roller coaster ride that comes with contest preparation, you can’t always trust  the bodybuilder’s (who currently going through the process) opinion anyway. His  mind just isn’t totally objective—no matter what he tries to tell you.

Besides, who really cares how full your muscles look until the minute  you step on stage, anyway? That’s the only time fuller muscles really count.  That really shouldn’t be a determining factor if you are getting increasingly  leaner for a contest while preserving as much muscle mass as possible. When you  look at the big picture of contest preparation that spans over 12 to 20 weeks,  executing your structured nutritional plan on a consistent basis is what’s most  important–not the particular type of protein you eat.

You shouldn’t  think that you are doing yourself a huge favor by choosing one over another. At  the same time, you shouldn’t let any uncertainty distract you or creep into your  psyche because you might not have picked the “magic” protein source.

Whatever real food protein source you choose, be certain to bolster real  food protein with VP2 Whey Isolate. The quickly absorbed, high-quality whey VP2  is the perfect compliment to the real protein sources you eat as you prepare for  your contest.

I’ll Turn You Into a “Mass Machine” with This Free Sound File!

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

I’ll Coach You to the Next Level and Turn You Into a  “Mass Machine” with This Free 30-Minute mp3 Sound File!

Hello  Men.

It’s Skip La Cour.

If you’ve read my articles or have  listened to my podcasts and talk radio shows, then you know that I constantly  stress this concept . . .

Your MIND is your most powerful training  tool!

“Mass Machine” many years  ago because of my extremely disciplined and effective approach to bodybuilding  and training.

I am going to share with you my SECRET that helped  me develop the tremendous ability to focus and execute—and I am going to get you  excited about taking a 30-Day CHALLENGE that will totally TRANSFORM the  way you attack your training, eating, and thinking habits FOREVER!

I was  able to HARNESS the tremendous power of my brain and win six national  bodybuilding championships because:

1. I was able to identify, study,  and focus on ONLY WHAT I NEEDED TO KNOW with my training, eating, and mental  habits—and AVOID the useless, misguided, and confusing information.

2.  Then, I constantly “programmed” my brain on both a conscious and subconscious  level to stay completely FOCUSED on what I needed to do to get the job done!

Your IDENTITY is Crucial to Your  Success!

Now, it’s time for YOU to turn into a Mass Machine  the very same way that I did—and take your bodybuilding and training efforts  THROUGH THE ROOF!

“Why Mass Machine?” you might be asking  yourself right now.

Your identity; how you see yourself; how you “label”  yourself; is the most POWERFUL force you have available to you to reach your  bodybuilding and training goals.

Your identity gets you through the  challenging times—and it forces you step up, ask for more out of yourself, and  kick things to an even HIGHER level when times are going well.

MASS: Because you build dense, rock-hard muscle and  lose body fat that creates QUALITY MASS onto your physique.

and . . .

MACHINE: Because you work toward your  bodybuilding and training goals with “machine-like” precision, focus, and  perfect execution of the key daily disciplines needed to succeed.

Think  about it for a moment:

What would a person with the empowering identity  like a Mass Machine do next when he’s laying in bed in the morning or sitting on  the couch after work when he feels too tired to get his butt up and go to the  gym?

Or, when a friend puts some mouth-watering pizza in front of his  face and his next schedule “cheat day” is still a couple of days away?

What about when he has to decide whether he should use the 50-pound  dumbbells or the 45-pound dumbbells during the next set?

Or, if he’s  going to do his scheduled cardiovascular session like he knows he should—or blow  it off?

When you become a Mass Machine, there’s absolutely  no question that you are going to jump up and get to the gym no matter how tired  you feel; pass on the pizza and wait until you’ve earned it; grab the  50-pounders with courage and confidence; and do your cardiovascular training  anyway!

That’s the powerful effect your identity has on your ACTIONS.

Do you need some of more of that POWER?

It sounds awesome,  doesn’t it?

Are you sick and tired of letting yourself down? Are you  starting to get disgusted with all the stupid excuses you are making when you  don’t do what you already know you should do?

Well, believe it or not,  that power is ALREADY inside of you—and I desperately want you to start drawing  upon it NOW!

The MM120 (Mass Machine 120)

I’ve created this 30-minute mp3 sound file with over 120  POWER STATEMENTS that pound into your brain EXACTLY what you need to focus  on and execute to create the physique that you really want.

I’m “in your  ear” with the most effective and efficient raining, nutrition, and motivational  strategies.

It’s a COMPLETE OVERVIEW of everything that I’ve been  teaching you for years efficiently compacted into this 30-minute personal  coaching session!

Here are just a few examples of what you will hear me  say as I COACH you to the next level:

• “You know that training  intensity is giving 100 percent of your mind, body, and soul to every  repetition, every set, every exercise, during every workout.”

• “You get  yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, and psychologically ready for every  single set you perform in the gym.”

• “You always expect the best from  your efforts—and don’t get discouraged if you don’t see the results you want as  soon as you want. You are patient. You are persistent. You are a MASS MACHINE!”

• “You create a series of daily action steps—Daily Disciplines—that you  can execute every day to get you closer to the body you ultimately want.”

• “You let the power of MOMENTUM work for you—and do NOT keep switching  from one plan to another without giving each one the time and effort they need  to produce results.”

Again, there are over 120 statements  just like these that are crammed into this coaching session!

Here’s the MM120 (Mass Machine 120) Challenge:

Download this file to your IPod (or mp3 player).

Listen to the 30-minute recording every day during your 5-day structured  week for the next 30 days. Ideally, you want to listen to this recording while  you are working out in the gym.

Only listen to these MM120 five  days during the week. There’s no sense in getting burned out doing too much. 30  minutes just five days a week will be plenty of “exercise and practice” to get  these statements into your subconscious thought process and automatically  integrate them into your bodybuilding ad training lifestyle without a lot of  effort.

If you can’t listen to them while you are working out, then  download this mp3 file to your home computer and invest the time listening to  them first thing in the morning.

Even if you get “bored” with this  process, promise yourself to stick with it for 30 days. Many times, we are  getting positive results in our lives and we have no idea where to credit the  cause of those positive results. These MM120 statements will be just one  of those instances.

Remember that when things are going well for you in  your bodybuilding and training lifestyle—and you don’t feel like listening to  the sound file anymore.

Stick with it—and turn yourself into a Mass  Machine!

Right click HERE  to download the MM120 mp3 file and save it to a predetermined folder on your  computer.

Train Hard—and Think BIG!

Don’t Cut Out of All of the Carbohydrates From Your Diet

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

By Skip La Cour
Six-Time National Bodybuilding Champion
Success Coach

Many Bodybuilders Don’t Eat the Carbohydrates Their Bodies Needs  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.

There’s No Need To Stop Using Supplements During Your Contest Prep

Friday, August 14th, 2009

By Skip La Cour
Six Time National Bodybuilding Champion
Success  Coach

They Got You Looking This Good,  Didn’t They? And, They Will Make You Look Even Better!

Here’s a  question for you. If you believed that the foods you were eating during your  contest preparation were contributing greatly to the quality of your physique,  why in the world would you ever stop eating those foods? You wouldn’t, would  you?

For some reason, many bodybuilders mistakenly believe that they  must eliminate protein powders and meal replacements from their diets when they  are many weeks away from their show. This is a big mistake!

I certainly  believe there is a tremendous value in real food. But, if you think the human  body can function just as effectively and efficiently with real food alone, you  are kidding yourself. Your muscle-building and fat-loss efforts will be greatly  enhanced if you support them with high-quality, state-of-the-art sports  supplementation. Athletes today are getting bigger, stronger, leaner, and faster  as the advancements in sports nutrition evolve.

If I were to guess, the  strategy that advises you to eliminate protein powder and meal replacements from  your contest preparation diet stems from the belief that these supplements  contain too much sodium. The amount of sodium in these products is a non-factor  during your contest journey except for at the very last few days. Maybe you  should severely limit their intake during the last several days before a  contest–but several weeks before then is totally unnecessary.

The other  rational that I’ve heard is the “the body will work much harder digesting real  food and you will burn more calories.” Oh really? How many more calories do you  think you really burn? And, even if you did burn a few more, is it worth the  difficulty that you are adding to an already challenging process? I certainly do  not think so!

In fact, cutting VP2 and Muscle XGF from your contest  preparation diet is plain old foolish. In your calorie-deprived state while  contest dieting, you’ll need these high-performance “super foods” more than  ever!

The POWER In Setting Ambitious Workout Goals

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

By Skip La Cour
Six-Time National Bodybuilding Champion
Success Coach
www.skiplacour.com

Many Bodybuilders Do Not  Document Their Progress in the Gym and Lose an Awesome Mental Edge

Many bodybuilders make blind “guesses” at how productive they should be  during each workout. They don’t use their already established patterns to set  standards and strive to take them up a few notches.

Documenting your  training performance during every workout is an effective strategy that will  produce significant results over time. Your mind is your most valuable training  tool by far. Documenting what you do helps you harness the tremendous power of  your mind. Assessing what you do in the gym helps you set and achieve higher  goals. Seeing what you’ve done before you begin each set forces you to strive  for more.

You must always strive for improvement in the gym.  Progressive, incremental improvements that are accomplished over time will make  your bodybuilding and training efforts a more productive and enjoyable  experience in the long run.

Take Action and Do This NOW!

Writing down what you’ve done in the gym isn’t just an exercise in  record keeping. You want to take a look at you past performance before you begin  each set. That way, you’ll know exactly what you need to do make incremental  improvements. From week to week, you won’t have to guess how much weight you  lifted and how many repetitions you were able to perform during a certain  exercise. You’ll be able to start each new workout at a higher level.

Evaluate the overall performance of each workout immediately afterward  too. Every workout can set the stage to make your next one even better. While  it’s still fresh in your mind, take one or two minutes to assess your training  performance. You want to reinforce what you’ve done well so you’ll repeat those  things you’ve singled out—and curtail what didn’t go well before you’ve  established bad habits.

We all have different ideas of what makes a  workout good, bad, or somewhere in between. Well? How did you do? Whatever you  have identified is most important to you when training, evaluate how close you  actually came to accomplishing your objectives. Make a point to make this  assessment before you take even one step outside of the gym.

Hamstrings and Glutes Separation Makes the Difference

Friday, August 7th, 2009

By Skip La Cour
Six Time National  Bodybuilding Champion
Success Coach

Every One of the Top Finishers Are Going to Have Nicely Etched Abs  and Striations on Their Chest and Shoulders–So Don’t Be Content With That Level  of Conditioning

Conditioning, the visible degree of leanness and  muscularity, is an extremely important factor that determines the quality of the  physique you’ll present of stage. NOW is the time to work hard to reduce your  body fat levels. You must make certain to use all of the time ahead of you.  Don’t wait until the final weeks and be forced to take drastic measures in  ordered to be prepared for your show in time.

Continual and honest  assessment of your progress is essential to your success. Many competitive  bodybuilders make the mistake of “falling in love” with the way they are looking  far too early in the contest preparation process. “I’m already in the shape of  my life!” or “I’m way ahead of schedule” are some comments you’ll often hear  them say. Don’t become complacent just because your abdominals are nicely etched  or because you’re getting cross-striations on your chest and shoulder muscles.  Heck! Everyone on stage will be in that kind of condition when contest day  arrives

What makes the difference between a champion and an “also-ran”  competitor will be the separation of their hamstrings and glutes. Those are the  tell-tale signals that cry out to the judges which bodybuilders did their  homework and put forth the most effort.

When you look at yourself in the  mirror during your contest preparation journey, turn around. Evaluate how well  your hamstrings and glutes are coming in. Keeping your eye on achieving the  “gold standard” in conditioning will keep you humble and working hard. Trust me!

Step By Step, You WILL Get the Job Done

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

Many Bodybuilders Are Too Consumed with Their Outcome Rather Than  the Individual Actions That Will Eventually Produce Those Outcomes

Some people in the gym don’t allow themselves to be happy or even  satisfied until their ultimate goal is finally achieved. Unless they packed-on  all 20 pounds of muscles they’ve set out to gain or dumped all 10 pounds they  planned to lose, they aren’t happy. This oftentimes ruins their bodybuilding  journeys and makes the entire time getting there a miserable experience. With  this disempowering mindset, they more than likely will never get there.

Instead of being results-oriented, you need to become action-oriented.  What I mean by that is you need to create a series of action steps that you can  do every day to get you closer to the body you ultimately want. Then, you must  get yourself to follow through with those action steps on a consistent basis.

Take Action and Do this NOW!

Know exactly what you want  to gain from your training efforts. Make sure that you create a long term  “vision” for exactly what you want to accomplish. Determine what you want to  achieve and the timeframe in which you expect to do so. With a clearly defined  objective and deadline in mind, you can then determine what specific actions  you’ll need to execute every day to get you to your ultimate goal.

After  following through with your plan on a consistent basis, you’ll discover that  these tasks will become habits. You won’t even need to think about doing them.

You be able to put your head on your pillow at night after executing  these daily action steps with a feeling of victory. You can experience that  feeling of victory every single day—not only when the big, ultimate goal is  finally achieved.

Small improvements—done consistently over a period of  time—will produce massive results. That’s a belief that’s so true. If you adopt  this way of thinking, it will empower you through the more challenging times of  your bodybuilding journey.
