what is your mind set ?

[Chaoticia]

I've recently gotten back into seriously working out. My current goal is to bulk until I hit a plateau or burn out, I'm not going to go anywhere near a scale, because hovering around one of those always turned neurotic. I think that training is going to help me improve upon other aspects of my life, and help me stay healthy, but what's changed now I'm also using it as an outlet and treating it like therapy for seeing too far into the gender dynamics of society.

I like to weigh myself every 2 weeks. as soon as you feel you plateau , change something up. you can always make some progress.

we all know it's alot harder for us natural bodybuilders to make progress. we all hit plateus eventualy. we have to work extra hard to get past plateaus . we have to pay extra attention to how we go about things. my question is what is your mind set ? like i said we all will hit a wall sooner or later. so is your attitude ? well ......... i know i can only get so big naturally , so theres no point in going to the gym a 4th time this week ? or i know im never gonna be as big as i want to be so im going to skip that last meal today or im gonna have another cheat meal this week . you guys get what im saying ? i urge you not to put a limit on yourselves. keep working hard and stay focused. you can and will continue making progress if you stay hungry .

wonderful topic. I feel we all feel this in our mind as we achieve greatness

the extra effort put forth consistently is well worth it.

My mindset is that I am 100% fullfilled.

I have an incredible physique, I am the sexiest, carefree and most confident man wherever I go. I have zero problems or issues and I only have opportunities.

Money, sex, jobs come in easy and often.

I am incredibly dedicated and I am always committed to the process and unattached to the outcomes.

Life is easy.

we can all be better every single day . when you wake up in the morning and decide your not going to the gym . i say to you , are you being honest with yourself ? are you truly too sore to go ? are you not going because your partner wont be going , so now you "cant " lift as heavy . whatever the reason may be , once again i say be honest with yourself .


while your missing workouts , or skipping meals , or having one , two , three , cheat meals too many . guess what ? someone else isnt . what is going to set you apart from the rest on contest day ?

so you can either get up and move forward , or go back to sleep and fall a step behind . it's all up to "YOU"

[havok77]

one day at a time . it's all up to you . "the one the only "

My mindset honestly is rather poor. But at least then I will be pleasantly surprised when I do well in my workout.

well you can change that . dont allow negative thoughts into your mind . shift your focus onto positive thoughts . nothing good comes out of thinking negatively .

[havok77]

every set , every rep , every meal , it all matters. make it count !! what is going to set you apart from the rest ? be focused .

[havok77]

feeling very excited about the future . I continue to make progress , feels great going to bed every night knowing I did what was neccasary that day to move forward. if you have a goal wether it be fitness related or not get to it immediately . why wait for the new year ? a lot of people say they want something but they will put it off. the time is now ! get after it !

I don't worry about the fact that Im natural and someone else may or may not be....I rather focus on never missing a meal, never missing a workout, and never missing a nights rest of 7-8 hrs and doing that for 10-20yrs....if you truly do that for that many yrs there's no way you won't be big as f**k natural or not...it's all about patience and consistency....that's my mindset

[DrKenRussell]

Great post. I totally agree with your focus on changing your mindset. It is the part that people talk the least about although it matters the most. Keep up the good work and you will get there - one day at a time.

Don't wish for it, work for it!

[yoojungl]

Mhm i totally agree with this. My mindset is always the dream i want to achieve in the future so thats my motivation to push it through.

[havok77]

thinking about starting a youtube channel . it would be motivational videos and videos of my progress . I just gotta figure out how to do it . everything starts in the mind . I realy want to move forward with this idea . I hope this thread has helped motivate someone .

[StoyanV]

It's a day by day battle. You gotta push to the limits, because your mind will reverse to a comfortable state. I haven't found a right way to keep motivated all the time. Life, work issues, daily problems can get to anyone, but your willpower and desire can break you free from them.

I tell myself the following:
When walking on the treadmill "every step makes me leaner, every step makes me stronger"
When lifting "every rep makes me bigger, every rep makes me stronger."
When I hit failure I find my next mark to overcome, it may take a week or a year but I will overcome it.

It works for me.

I have a quote on my laptop and it reminds me that at the end of the day you decide. There are no complicated games to achieving your goals, you just have to do it. Keep hustling and you move closer to it every day.

[havok77]

how's everyone doing ? tomorrow is another opportunity , don't waste it .

[kevinkevin19]

Just be persistent, have a growth mindset instead of a fixed one. You're the only one who puts the limit on yourself.

[wHacKop]

no limits

[Husman123]

My mind set is either achieve success or live a normal life like everyone else, we have the power to change our own lives and I think im slowly changing mine as each day I get stronger and closer to my fitness goals. I think everyone and anyone who is really passionate about weight lifting or the gym life can achieve what they want.

[shrike9]

The mind set is to never give up no matter what.
The mind set is to be consistent and persevere -- no matter what.
Whoever does this will succeed.
