I’ve never had to worry about how I look. I’ve been training in martial arts since I was 5. I started doing hard-core strength and conditioning routines since I was 12 years old.
But I meet people who don’t look the way they want, and every time they open their mouth, it’s like hearing the same stories over and over again. That’s why I am writing this post, if you are
* Scrawny and feel you can’t transform your body into a strong, muscular, powerful specimen…
* Overweight and think you can’t go on a diet…
* “skinny fat” where you have no beefiness, but you’re just lean…
In that case, I know for certain that you are this way because of one of these 5 things:
First Reason: You Lack Specialized Knowledge
* You don’t know how to build strength.
* You don’t know how to lose fat.
* You have no idea how to eat healthy
* You don’t know how to cook, so you only eat fast food and food out of a box.
* You don’t know which training program is the finest.
Knowledge is the primary step at all times. The first thing you need to understand is how your body works, how right nutrition and work out transforms the animal – then you learn how to make it do what you want it to do. In your case: change your physique for the better-build muscle and lose fat.
That’s why you’re here. I will give you the knowledge you need. But it’s up to you to apply it. Knowledge is NOT power, only APPLIED knowledge is power.
Reason #2: You Are Lazy
* You know how to build muscle yet you don’t want to get going.
* You know how to build strength, yet you think it’s “tiring”.
* You make alibis like “I don’t have the time!” though you know how to burn fat.
* You know how to eat healthy, but it’s easier to eat snack food and microwave box food
I’m a huge fan of being what I call idealistically lazy. In other words, I seek the very best methods (specialized knowledge) to gain the greatest results I want in the smallest time. For this reason, I get in, get it through, and quit. You must DESERVE the right to be lazy.
You can read every book on the planet about building muscle and losing weight, but if you never make a start on working out and eating healthy then you’ll never achieve ANY results. You have to do something. Don’t be afraid of failure, the most successful people realize that their whole life is one big mistake!
Third Reason: You Admit Yourself As “Skinny” or “Fat” or “Not Muscular”
* You think of yourself as “skinny, fat or not muscular” rather than as what you want to be
* It doesn’t bother you extremely that you’re this way any longer
* If you truly cared enough, if it worried you enough, you’d change
* You’re HAPPY with the way you look
Nowadays being overweight and flabby is considered common. It wasn’t always like this. We used to be hunters and if you weren’t in shape-you were dead-end of story. During the industrial age everybody pulled through on hard physical labor, each person was in shape and buff.
You were considered “sickly” if you were thin and not beefy or laughed at for being flabby. You shouldn’t feel bad about yourself but don’t just say “this is just the way I am”. You can turn out to be whatever you want to become and achieve things you never thought you could achieve if you’re fed up of your present situation and want to change bad enough.
Reason #4: You Think Gaining Muscle and Burning Fat is hard
* You accept terms like “hardgainer” and apply them to you
* You don’t get results in 2 weeks, hence you stop
* You follow books and magazines that touch on “battling the bulge” like it’s hard
Building muscle isn’t all that tough. If you’ve always been thin, try to get strong. Your body SHOULD adapt by building muscle to help you get stronger. It’s the way your body works.
Losing fat isn’t hard either. You eat clean and you stay active. Anyone who says they can’t find 12 minutes a day 3x per week to lose fat is lying to themselves.
Reason #5: You Aren’t Determined Enough
* You haven’t said “hell or high water”
* You haven’t said to yourself “failure is not an option”
* You haven’t made a decision yet that “this is the year I get this sh*t handled!”
The truth is: You can build muscle, burn fat, and reshape your body using just about ANY exercise routine and nutritional program. That’s the reason why there’s so many of them out there. The key to success (ANY success) boils down to 2 things:
2. Make a decision that you’re going to go for it and
2. F*cking Do it NO MATTER WHAT
I used to train with methods I wouldn’t use now. They’re not “proper” but it WORKED because I refused to take failure as an option. If you too develop the “do or die” attitude, you can achieve anything.
I will give you the know-how – or you can get the drift somewhere. I like to believe that I have the fastest, really intelligent, highly effective means to execute it – yet you can obtain the knowledge you need from any person. In addition, you don’t need to be all that “positive” in your thinking. Simply make a decision and find a way to get it done.
