 There comes a time when trying to stay on that path to
echieve your goal is harder than anything else in the world. Even if
you do make it to the gym, you still have to make sure you workout to
your fullest or the time is wasted.
Therefore, you need to follow these simple guidelines to help you stay motivated and positive in the gym.
1-BE POSITIVE...go into the gym with a good attitude toward
training. Believe you will do better. Believe this workout will bring
you closer to your goals.
2-VISUALIZE...before you get to
the gym "see yourself" in your mind's eye lifting heavier, feeling
stronger, and successfully completing all sets in your workout.
3-BE AGGRESSIVE...don't
just lift the weights, attack them! Treat every rep as if it were your
last. Lift like your life is on the line. Do whatever it takes to psych
yourself up...yell, growl, think about things that piss you off, hit
yourself in the head...get mad!
4-FOCUS...don't
talk while lifting. Don't look around. Think about what you are doing,
the muscle you are working. The mind muscle connection is REAL!
5-DON'T GET DOWN...if
you don't break a record or don't have a great first set, DO NOT let
that set the tone for the rest of your workout! Regroup. Leave failure
behind. KNOW your next set will be better, and that each set after that
will be EVEN BETTER!
6-DON'T GET COMPLACENT...pat
yourself on the back after a great set or productive workout, but then,
think to yourself how you will destroy your accomplishments in this
workout in your next one. Your body is very adaptive, you must push
further to progress to the next level.
7-DREAM...don't
set limits. F the studies that say you can only get "so big." Screw
those that say you can only grow really huge if on steroids. Your body
is only limited by where your mind is willing to take you. There are no
limits!!!!!!!!!!!!  8- BUDDY SYSTEM...during
these winter months, use your training partner to get you through those
gloomy days or depressing afternoons. Push unto others as you would
have them push unto you! Make that partner work his ass off and expect
the same from him!
(Just try to enjoy the message)
