The Muscle Building Mindset

Let’s face it. Everyone wants to look better. I don’t know too many people that don’t want to gain more muscle or lose bodyfat. It’s human nature. You want to appeal to the opposite sex and command respect from you peers. I am obsessed with human performance and train for strength and function first and foremost, but even I would be lying if I said I didn’t want to look better. We all do.

But wanting and doing are two entirely different things. Everyone wants to dramatically transform their physiques, but how many people actually do? Very few. And do you know why? Because they don’t have the right mindset. Change your mindset and you will change your body.

Guys who have made incredible transformations accepted the fact that it wasn’t going to be easy and they were willing to work for it and do whatever it took. That’s not to say that it takes an inordinate amount of time. You don’t have to live in the gym. You can make great progress in just a few hours per week. But if you don’t have the right mindset and the determination to do whatever it takes during those three or four hours each week you will never get anywhere.

We all have time commitments that prevent us from training as much as we would like to. But lack of time never was and never will be an acceptable excuse. If you search hard enough and eliminate the wasted TV time and other nonsense, you will see that we all have two or three hours per week to dedicate to training. After all, what is more important than physical activity and exercise? Very little if you ask me.

Guys like Arnold, Bill Pearl, George Hackenshmidt and Ed Coan all had the never-say-die, take-no-prisoners attitude that is a prerequisite of dramatic physical transformation. Bill Pearl found that he was so busy that he had to wake up at 4am just to get his workouts in. But that’s what it took so he did it.

It doesn’t take the fanciest training system in the world, it doesn’t take a lot of time each week, it doesn’t take any expensive supplements; but it does take dedication and hard work. If you think you are going to loaf through your workouts and make a mind blowing change to your physique you are lying to yourself. Everything worth having in life requires hard work.

Will be this be the year when you finally make the mindset change necessary to achieve greatness or will you just make another useless New Years Resolution only to throw in the towel by February 1^st?

Train hard and make 2009 your best year ever.
