Psst... Here's The Ultimate Bodybuilding Tip by:Tony Farrell

This is a common factor that leads to failure in

achieving your ideal level of muscle and fitness.

Your Mind Isn't On The Ball:

When you're rushed your mind isn't on the task in

hand. You're thinking of what's happening next, or

something that happened previously. But, either

way, your mind isn't letting you do your training

properly. Imagine this scenario --

Hold on!

Maybe you don't have to imagine. Just maybe, this

is you:

During a set of squats you're thinking to yourself --

"one, two - I have to meet Johnny and get that

training manual from him - five - There's some

great stuff in there. Oh! I forgot, Johnny won't be

home today - eight - Right so, that'll give me time

to that other things done - nine - I know there's

something else to do, I can - ten - remember -

eleven."

Squat Finished!

Do you see what's just happened here?

Yes, maybe you were performing your squat

routine. Nothing wrong there. But you were

thinking about everything else --

except the squat!

You were just able to manage to keep track of the

count... or were you?

I've often found that I either repeated a count, or

left it out, whenever I was thinking about

something else. Ever notice that with yourself

before?

Before offering up a bodybuilding tip, just let me

ask you something:

Do you think that you will achieve the results, you

desire so badly, by letting your mind wander

elsewhere except the task in hand?

I don't think so, do you?

Bodybuilding Tip - Part 1:

This goes hand in hand with another bodybuilding

tip - Managing Your Time. If you manage your time

properly, and you focus your mind on the task of

building muscle and fitness for the time needed,

what do you think will happen?

Yep, you got it! You'll be more organized and

focused. I knew you'd get it:-)

I hear you say --

"This bodybuilding tip is all very well and good. But

how would I keep my mind focused on my

training?"

Reasons:

Yep, that's right... REASONS! You need to justify

doing something to make it worthwhile. If you have

a good enough reason to do something, you'll do

it. If you don't, you won't... it's as simple as that!

Your reason may be to build muscle and fitness

and to be more healthy. Great reasons. But not

enough by itself. Or at least, not enough to drive

you more.

Here are some reasons you could add to the mix:

First you should ask yourself -

"What are the reasons that "I" want to build muscle

and fitness?"

Create a small list of the benefits of working out,

which helps drive you even more than just that one

benefit of 'building muscle and fitness'. Benefits

such as --

* Build healthy muscle

* Build healthy bones

* Build healthy joints

* Better sleep

* Improve the immune system

* Increase endurance

* Improve mental agility

* Increase energy

* Reduce stress and tension

* Improve my sex life:-)

These are the reasons for training. Building

muscle and fitness is very broad. You need to be

specific about what you want. Then when you are

performing any exercise, you need to keep those

reasons in mind at the time. This leads to --

Bodybuilding Tip - Part 2:

Reasons on their own are not strong enough to

keep your mind on the ball. You need to keep

them in mind everytime you train. That way you are

less likely to lose focus and think about everything

else, except your training.

How do you do this?

Imagine seeing your muscle flex as you do a

particular exercise. Feel it. Work it in your mind.

After all, muscle and fitness is not just a physical

thing... it's also a mind game. Mind and body

working as one. That's the ultimate training tool.

And it's probably the ultimate bodybuilding tip I can

give you right now. It's just that you lose the

benefits of your workout everytime your mind isn't

on the ball. Also by keeping your reasons in mind

as you train, you are actually going to train with

much more heart than you would otherwise.

I hope this bodybuilding tip has helped you. By

reading about it is one thing. But taking action on it

is another.
