Getting to our goals fast and taking our physiques to "the next level", is desired thing of everyone training in the gym. It doesn't really matter if you are a beginner or advanced weight lifter; whether we've been training for 5 months or 5 years; are genetically-gifted or consider ourselves a "hardgainer"; are young or old; an ectomorph, endomorph, or a mesomorph; male or female; train naturally or with drugs we all strive for fast and constant improvement.
This may sound too simple, doesn't it? But, in reality its not so simple as you may already knot. Building an outstanding physique my friend is not simple. Why it isn't? We all make certain steps when we decide move towards building our bodies:
1. Learn, gather knowledge and information's.
2. Choose specific strategy or particular approach we think it is best for us.
3. Gradually develop understanding and some degree of confidence and certainty.
4. Try our best to follow chosen strategy for a long enough period of time.
5. Develop open mind and honestly evaluate the strategy and results we have reached. Decide to try an new strategy or a modified version of your current one.
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 6.
Even when we are not conscious of these steps we all take them. But in order to be successful, each one of these steps must be properly understood and taken. There are many pitfalls, traps, and distractions we may fall in to if we allow ourselves not to correctly follow. Practical experience show us people stagnate, or even quit in frustration only because they missed this .
Another reason why muscle building and fitness are a not simple is because these steps are endless. This journey toward developing better physique is never ending process. Believe it or not , you will never come to perfection in shaping your body -and that's a very positive thing! There is always a room for improvement, higher level of knowledge, efficiency, and development to achieve.
If you want more muscle , better lifts or anything the battle doesn't stop there. There are different aspects of muscle building which are interdependent of each other. Training, nutrition, supplementation, and motivation all work together in a synergistic manner. All of these different aspects we need in order to advance fast, develop at different rates and at different times.
I give you example: you may feel like an intermediate when it comes to workouts but only a beginner when it comes to nutrition. Even best training with poor eating habits to support it will result in very weak results. Or there are people who know a lot about training, nutrition, and supplementation but they are bad in practical following everything they know.
This "always a higher level" approach I talk about can seem to be be mentally draining at times, especially if you are at the beginning of your journey. Therefore you need to have tools and system which have power to always develop your mental and motivational strategies and that will give us the best results. If you want to survive long enough to build muscle fast and reach your full genetic potential you must make a shift in the way you think. And without proven system it is just to hard and painful.
This is a challenge. You can pay now or you can pay later. If you want best results from your efforts you need to learn how to move out of your comfort zone and get best out of it.
