Hi Charles956.

So, what are you saying is that . . .

If you are making $25,000 a year and your goal is to make $100,000, you aren't happy when you make $40,000, $60,000 and $80,000 on your way to $100,000? Only when you are at $100,000?

or...

If you are 170 pounds now and your goal is to weigh 200 rock-solid pounds of muscle, you aren't happy when you are at 185 and 195 pounds on your way to 200?

Is that the way things really turn out? Have you actually reached some goals and have REALLY been happy afterward--or do you just THINK you'd be happy?

There have been some goals I've achieved that brought me great joy and there's been some that did not turn out to be what I thought it would be. In those examples you gave, I would feel good even in the middle of those examples if it was steady progress but in my case I feel like I'm making very slow progress and have even gone backwards at times. I know you are a personal development, motivation expert. What is a more empowering way to mentally approach this issue when I'm feeling frustrated by my lack of progress? Thank you.

Hi Charles956.

Well, everyone is "hardwired" differently. If would be hard for me to know exactly what's taxing your level of motivation without knowing more.

Stress and mental discomfort is caused when you expect a certain result--but only actually achieve or experience so much. The bigger the gap, the more the stress or mental discomfort.

It could be that your expectations are too high for the amount of time and effort you are putting in. You could be doing just fine--but you just need more time. It's hard for me to know that if that's the case with the information you've provided.

If you gave me some specific examples of what you expected (the goal), what you did to make it happen, what kind of results you actually produced, and how that made you feel (or makes you feel), I could probably be more helpful.

Train Hard. Think Big.

what type of program do you recommend for strength gain? I am ready to put on size, but want to get a good strength base first

thank you

Hi mpannu1.

I don't believe strength gains and putting on size need to work separately of each other.

If you are progressively overloading the targeted muscle groups and challenging yourself lift more weight with effective execution and form, you will get stronger and build size.

And by progressively overloading I am assuming you mean try to lift more weight or do more reps each workout?

Thanks

Stay within the rep range you've chosen but, yes, strive to make incremental improvements in the amount of weight you lift and/or reps--while still using effective form and execution.

Hey Skip,

I was wondering why your BCAA supplement uses a ratio of 3.5:2:1.5

I've seen the ratios vary including 2:1:1, 4:1:1, 8:1:1 and 12:1:1 and there is quite a bit of talk about which is optimal, however, no one seems to have any evidence supporting any ratio being better than the other, other than the fact the Leucine is supposedly the only one that actually activates mTOR. There is endless banter in forums and if there is any specific reason you would use one ratio or the other or any studies you used to gain insight, I would appreciate hearing your thoughts.

Thanks

Hi Kevinppk.

Yes, there is a lot of banter everywhere about BCAAs. The thinking behind our ratios as opposed to the standard 2:1:1 is more leucine by adding the metabolite HICA. You've identified the effectiveness of leucine. Some studies have suggested that leucine metabolite HICA is more potent than the leucine itself. That's the reason for the 3.5. The thinking behind adding more isoleucine to the standard 2:1:1 ratio is because it gets absorbed faster than the leucine and valine does.

Hi Skip,
I just wanted to pop in & say that I can't thank you enough for all of your great e-books & podcasts.

After just finishing up my first year competing as an IFBB pro, I am finding myself going back through your products including: Thinking Big, Mindset & Actions of a Champion, & Manformation reworking my goals, re-evaluating my life, and working towards creating an even better version of me. I am also enjoying re-listening to your morning connection podcasts & learning valuable information all over again.

There were some podcasts of yours I was searching for that I can't find again. Remember when you counted down the top 10 best things lessons you had learned? It was a wrap up to one of your longtime running podcasts. I can't remember if it was the morning connection podcasts or the Mass Machine weekly podcasts. Can you repost the link to the podcasts again?

Thanks so much for everything, including you larger sizes of Mass Machine products like MM600 BCAA Supreme & the specials you run like one posted above!

My Top 10 Best Life Lessons Learned (So Far) – Podcasts

#10 – You must get in close proximity to the level of success that you REALLY want. .

#9 – When you REALLY become the great person you say you are you will “magically” start being in the company of great people just like you.

#8 – Take on as much “stress” as humanly possible as often as possible to create the life you REALLY want.

#7 – If people aren’t treating you the way you want them to treat you—take a long hard look at yourself FIRST.

#6 – “Balance” in life can only be determined by YOU–and must be measured in “longer” time periods.

#5 – Reconsider how you evaluate RISKS If you aren’t getting the results in life that you really want.

#4 – Real happiness comes from appreciating the awesome person you become while earning and accomplishing the “things” – not the “things”.

#3 – You don’t always have to make other people “wrong” in order for you to be “right”.

#2 – You NEED the help of other people to succeed at the highest level—and you are strong enough to bounce back from any break in trust.

#1 – It’s NOT your intentions, thoughts, beliefs, potential, or what you say and know that define you—it’s what you actually DO and DON’T DO!

Thanks so much for providing the links to the podcasts. I started my Friday morning out driving to the gym listening to #10. After just finishing up my first season competing as an IFBB pro, I could really identify with podcast #10 You must get into close proximity to the level of success you REALLY want. Getting to meet my fellow IFBB Physique Pros including many Olympia competitors was an invaluable experience helping me get closer to my own person Olympia goals.
