Think And Grow Muscles
From my experience as a fitness
personal trainer, I am always amazed by the skepticism of my thin
(hardgainer) clients engaging my services to help them gain
muscle weight. During my first meeting with such potential clients, I will
always be in awe at how they think when they will pose me questions like :-
a) I have been thin all my life and have been eating a lot, but can't
ever seem to be able to put on weight, what makes you think you can help me to
gain weight?
b) All my family members are skinny and therefore I am genetically
programed to be thin. So, are you sure that you can help me gain muscle
weight? Is it healthy to go against my genetics?
c) I have taken all sorts of weight gainer supplements and have worked
out with weights pretty often without gaining any muscles or extra weight,
what makes you so sure you can help
me gain weight?
Really, I cannot blame them for being such pessimists because the fact
is that they were really thin and had been trying to get fatter or more
muscular but were disappointed time and time again. However, it is also
because of this type of negative thinking that is the root cause of their
problem.
Unknown to many people, being a gym
instructor involves playing the role of a motivator as well. When I start
to train them and at the same time change their beliefs, and then when they
start to see improvement on their physiques, you can see the overwhelming joy
on their faces and the rampage of gratitude they shower me with.
Use Law Of Attraction To Gain Muscle Weight
Have you heard of the Law of Attraction (LOA)? Simply put, the law of
attraction means that you will get or be what you think or focused on. This is
a simplified definition but the point is made.
Every thought that you think has a meaning that you have attached to it
represented by pictures and emotions which are just forms of energy. As you
'think' or talk to yourself (internal chatter), your mind is defining these
words almost simultaneously. Because we believe in the thoughts that we think
and say to be our truths, our minds are continually working to find evidence
to reinforce these beliefs. Henry Ford once said “ If you think you can, then
you can. If you think you can't, then you are also right.” So, if you think
that you can't gain weight or muscle, then you can't because after a few
feeble attempts, your mind will tell you that it is difficult for you to gain
weight and you gave up without searching for other methods to help you to gain
weight.
You mind is sabotaging yourself. Since our thoughts are energies and the
law of attraction states that energy attracts like energy, you will start to
attract more of the same type of energy thoughts to you that will confirm what
you are thinking. Here are more of the self defeating thoughts that will
prevent you from gaining weight.
a) It is difficult for me to gain
muscle
b) I'll never have a body like that I desire
c) I'll never be able to gain
weight
You know what? These negative thoughts can be so imbedded into your
subconscious that your body believes and obey every thought that you think!!
"Every change in the physiological state is accompanied by an
appropriate change in the mental emotional state, conscious or unconscious,
and conversely, every change in the mental emotional state, conscious or
unconscious, is accompanied by an appropriate change in the physiological
state" - Candice Pert, Ph. D. .
"It is well known by scientists that when a person has a thought, a
chemical presence or reaction occurs, and neuropeptides, the chemical
correlates of thought, become detectable. Neuropeptides not only are present
in the brain but can also be found throughout the body, including the stomach,
kidneys and liver. Thus a thought has a real embodied physical presence." - Fred
Gallo, Ph.D and Harry Vincenzi, Ed.D
"With sensitive EMG instruments, we can show that muscles are activated
when we think about anything involving action or emotion, even though there
may be no visible movement. Although we do not know how thoughts are generated
in the brain, it seems clear that once present, thoughts are amplified by the
brain and turned into actions. Every thought we think influences millions of
atoms, molecules and cells throughout the body. Besides this straightforward
effect on the physical body, we know from general principles of physics that
any acceleration of electrons produces some electromagnetic radiation." - Physicist
and psychologist Burl Payne, Ph.D.
The same can be said of fat people who want to lose weight. It is your
mind them prevents you from gaining or losing weight. Once you have gotten
past these negative beliefs, I can guarantee you that your success is just
round the corner. I am saying this with conviction because I have helped many
people succeed over their weight challenges.
It will be very difficult for fat people to become slim if they keep
thinking about being fat and by the same token, it will also be very difficult
to grow muscle when you believe that you will not be successful doing so. If
you want to change your body, you will have to change your thoughts. If you
want a superbly ripped and buffed body, then you have to start thinking
exactly like the people with ripped
buffed bodies think!
Unfortunately, these negative thoughts and self chatters may have been
with you for so many years and are so deeply entrenched in your subconscious
mind that even as you are reading this article, you may not believe what I am
saying here. Get the drift? By being skeptical about this article is the
result of your unconscious mind accepting your negative believes.
Yes, I admit that it is difficult to change these deeply entrenched
beliefs because you have already convinced yourself that what you think is
true. So in order to gain or lose weight, you have to change these beliefs and
there are many ways that you can do this such as through positive affirmations
and creative visualizations as taught by many motivational gurus such as
Anthony Robbins and Brian Tracy.
From my experience, the most effective and cheapest way to alter your
negative thinking is through self
hypnosis. Find out how self
hypnosis can help you to lose weight or gain muscle weight here.
