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...
* Obese and sense that you can't count the calories
* "skinny fat" where you have no muscularity, but you're just skinny
Then I can guarantee you are this way because of one of these 5 things:
Reason No. 1: You Don't Have Particular Understanding
* You have no idea how to boost strength.
* You don't know how to lose fat.
* You don't have any idea on how to eat nutritious
* 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 greatest.
Knowledge is always the initial step. The primary thing you need to understand is how your body works, how good nutrition and exercise changes the animal - then you realize 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.
Second Reason: 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 know how to count the calories, but you create reasons in the same way as "I don't have the time!"
* You know how to eat healthy, but it's easier to eat snack food and microwave box food
I'm a big fan of being what I call unrealistically lazy. That is to say, I look for the very best ways (specialized knowledge) to achieve the extreme results in the minimum time. Thus, I get in, get it done, and stop. You should be WORTHY of the right to be lazy.
You can read every book on the planet about building muscle and losing fat, but if you never start exercising and eating nutritious then you'll never get ANY results. You have to go for it. Don't be afraid of failure, the most successful people realize that their entire 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" instead of as what you want to be
* It doesn't bother you much that you're this way anymore
* If you truly cared enough, if it worried you enough, you'd change
* You're AT EASE with your 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 No. 4: You Consider Gaining Muscle and Burning Fat is tough
* You accept terms like "hardgainer" and relate them to you
* You don't get results in 2 weeks, hence you stop
* You read books and magazines that talk about "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 weight isn't difficult either. You eat nutritious and you stay vigorous. Anybody who says they can't get 12 minutes a day 3x per week to go on a diet is dishonest to themselves.
Reason #5: You Aren't Determined Enough
* You haven't said "no matter matter what happens"
* You haven't said to yourself "failure is not an option"
* You haven't decided yet that "this is the year I get this sh*t handled!"
The fact is: you can build muscle, lose weight, and transform your body pretty well using ANY workout routine and nutritional program. That's the reason why there's so many of them out there. The key to success (ANY success) comes down to 2 things:
1. Come to a decision that you're going to make a start and
2. F*cking Do it NO MATTER WHAT
I used to train with ways I wouldn't utilize at of the moment. They are not "proper" though it WORKED since I declined to take failure as an alternative. If you too develop the "do or die" attitude, you can pull off no matter what.
I will give you the knowledge - or you can get it elsewhere. I like to think I know the fastest, smartest, most efficient ways to do it - but you can get the knowledge you need from anyone. And you don't need to be all that "positive" in your thinking. Just make up your mind to do something and find a way to get it done. - 15255
