Allow me to break down for you some of the different type of trainers out there:
1) There’s the one whose sole aim is to shed off some fat
2) There’s the one whose sole aim is to pack on the beef
3) There’s the one who’s addicted to that “muscle pump” feeling
4) There’s the one who is not satisfied unless he continuously lifts “big”
5) There’s the one whose ego has already beaten him to the gym and is “waiting for him to arrive”
6) There’s the one who's after continuos progress and would accept nothing less
7) There’s the bodybuilder who thinks he’s a weightlifter
8)There’s the one who can not train without that gym music
9) There’s the one who is his own worst enemy and judge
10) And there’s the one who has more than his share of the above
How many times have you gone to the gym with great enthusiasm; only to find yourself a victim (by choice) to one of the above external influences? Take #2 for example, he walks into the gym rearing to blast his way through the session when he’s suddenly met with a comment of: “ hey Jack, you’re looking tight and sharp bro; is there a contest coming up?!”
That was the last thing #2 wanted to hear, now all his mind can reinforce to him is that “HE IS SHRINKING, LOOSING WEIGHT, GETTING SHARPER FOR A CONTEST!” Please note that all that has taken place ONLY by choice and not by coercion or any other mean. You (#2) have chosen to accept such a naïve comment, most probably from someone who knows nothing about the ins and outs of bodybuilding.
Unfortunately most of us program our minds to a certain “bodybuilding road map”, get so fixated by it that any deviation (even by a millimetre), would spell nothing short of disaster for us.
I do not wish to drag on with this post, so let me give you the moral of it all. Do not ALLOW (it is YOUR choice to allow) external influences to play with your mind and be assured that there is no such thing as a “perfect” day. So please, do yourself a huge favour by rising above it all with a clear purpose in mind and an attitude and belief in knowing fully well who you really are…a true Champion!
