No Nonsense Muscle Building
Introduction Chapter 1
Goals without deadlines are far less empowering, motivating and powerful compared to goals with deadlines. What goals do you have that do not have deadlines? You probably want to build some muscle or lose some fat when the time is right. However, these are just goals without deadlines. Once you have a deadline, all sorts of things will start to happen that would not have happened otherwise. Big goals require incremental sacrifice. They require daily attention. And in my opinion, they are accomplished because of these deadlines. Set a deadline to have this e-book read. Better yet, set a deadline to read each individual chapter. Do you want to build 5 pounds of muscle? Set a deadline. Do you want to compete? Pick a show and register today. Do you want to gain 50 pounds of muscle? Set a deadline. You’ve got to have a goal. But a goal without a deadline is like a story without a point. What’s the point? Choose your next goal and set a deadline today.
8. Failing to Prepare is Preparing to Fail. I could not agree more strongly with the late Benjamin Franklin, “Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.” Training without a program is like building a house with out a blueprint. How will the final product look – if a final product is even achieved? When I refer to plan, I’m referring to all the specific details of an exercise program. I’m referring to the muscles trained, specific exercises chosen, the number of sets and reps, amount of rest, the tempo etc. These details must be pre-planned before you even go to the gym! Yes, this is a true plan. How much easier will it be to maintain your focus every time you arrive at the gym? Having a plan to follow leads to one simple task – work it and execute it! This applies to your nutrition plan as well. You must know what foods you will eat, in which amounts, and at what times. Once you have created your plan, again, this leads to one simple task – work it and execute it!
The programs I have designed for you are essentially your blueprints – they are very powerful training and nutrition tools. You have one simple job – EXECUTE!
