I did not set out to be a champion bodybuilder. Nor did I
really want to. But I did hoped I could get in better shape
with some hard work.
Belief
When
I first stepped into a health club, it was frightening. I
had two friends that exercised with me on a regular basis.
The confidence they had in me started positively affecting
my attitude and fear of failure. After awhile, I noticed those
fears I had about myself slowly began to disappear.
Motivation
As
I developed more confidence, I started to realize how important
it was for this change to come from the "inside out."
Looking better, having more energy and getting physically
stronger are great things to experience, but what I am most
grateful for is that my heart was also changing. I felt better
about myself. I had purpose and I was doing something positive.
That heart-felt motivation became the glue that has kept me
going for all these years. No matter what you do in life,
if you have purpose, and if it is good for others, life will
be rewarding.
Here
are a few principles I have learned along the way may help
you become a true bodybuilding champion.
Principle
#1: Be Sold Out! Whether you are a competitive bodybuilder
or just do it as a hobby to stay in shape – have the
attitude that you are going to exercise and eat right for
life.
Principle#2:
Ask not, have not! If you do not know something, ask a man/women
that you feel does. Knowledge is powerful.
Principle
#3: Leave your ego at the door! Your ego is your
biggest competitor by far. The reality is, it’s NOT
all about you. If you think it is, you will never be a Champion
for any length of time.
Principle
#4: Work-out smart not hard! Bodybuilding is about
efficiency, not effort.
Principle
#5: Know when to stop. If you need time off, take
it. If you do not want to compete anymore, but are afraid
not to, then you are doing it for the wrong reasons.
Principle
#6: Have fun. Don’t be wound up like a clock
all the time. Relax!
Principle
#7: Put variety in your workouts. Never think your
workout program is the best. Change it up every three months.
Principle
#8: Only compete once a year! If you are a competitive
bodybuilder only compete in one show a year. If you do more,
you will burn out and lose valuable muscle.
Principle
#9: Never compete for a trophy! If you are a trophy
hunter you will never be a true champion. True champions do
it for the journey.
