Gaining Muscle, The Mental Game

Many people like to use the term hardgainer or even nongainer when they are having trouble building muscle. The thing is, anyone can gain muscle. All you need is the right program and the willingness to stick to it. So many people look for that instant gratification and if they do not see major results quick enough they just give up and use their genetics as the excuse. The truth is your head is not in the game and you gave up too easily or you just plain did not work hard enough.  If you want to make your muscles grow you need to have the mind set that you WILL make them grow.  Not you’re going to try or will start a program to but, I will make my muscles grow. It may sound corny but if you  think and see it in your mind it will be much easier for your body to believe it. If your just “trying” there is room for failure and excuses.

Think about this, when you wake up you don’t say you will try to go to work, take a shower, brush your teeth, eat or even breath. You just do these things. How many times have you said you would try to get something done and failed. What you  are doing when you use the word try ( or any other related words) is starting off by giving yourself an out. If you do not complete the task such as ,mow the lawn,organize your papers, etc. it’s OK because you said you would try. On the other hand if you say you will do these things it is much harder to make excuses, it is now something that needs to get done.

In order for your body to gain muscle you need to believe that it needs to get done. Don’t try to do your workout, Do it. picture the results in your head, how you will look and feel, and then start working to get those results. Be willing to do what you have to so you can make that picture a reality. You would be surprised at how much quicker you will see results with the proper mindset. 

So the question is, do you want to gain muscle? If the answer is yes, which it should be if you are reading this, then go do it.
