The Mind Of A Champion

What does the mind of a champion have that is different from other people?

The mind of a champion has control over their intention.

The mind of a champion has control over their focus.

The mind of a champion has control of how they use their awareness.

Concentration and extreme focus can be intermittent or more constant.

But it is being able to use controlled attention effectively

whether in shorts bursts or for long periods of time

that distinguishes the mind of a champion.

Therefore gaining control of your mind

is the single most important

and single most necessary step

on the way to to the mind of a champion.

Hardgainer Muscle Gain Diet

If you’re a hardgainer and you want to gain muscle mass quickly the first and most important thing to remember is it all begins with your muscle gain diet.

That’s right.  The food you eat is more important than whatever muscle building supplement you use or muscle building program you may be doing.

The right muscle gain diet is the key to gain muscle mass if you are a hardgainer.

Here are a few gain muscle mass diet tips for hardgainers:

1. Don’t be afraid of eating.  If in doubt, eat.

2. As seen in 1., remember that you have a huge amount of latitude to eat more if you’re a hardgainer.  Go get those cakes, pies, pastries, and cookies.

3. If you’re gluten intolerant (and this applies equally if you’re not) remember to eat those bags of low-salt potato chips that are affordable and high calorie. They have tons of carbs so you can really stuff yourself with them.  Old Dutch brand even has a good dose of vitamin C and E per serving.

4. Ice cream.  Should I repeat that?

5. Enjoy yourself.  Enjoy eating, if possible.  Try to have good tasting foods that make you want to eat more. Eat more of those foods.  Find your favorites and return to them as much as you can.

6. Workout regularly but don’t overdo it.  If you’re just getting used to finding out how to use a muscle gain diet for hardgainers it’s easy to think you can or need to increase your training.  This is just not so.  Many hardgainers recover slowly, so reducing the workouts can be more helpful for growth.

Now apply your new knowledge to gain muscle mass.  Remember: if you’re a hardgainer the secret is in your muscle gain diet.

Dumbbells Are The Best Workout Tool

Dumbbells are the best workout tool.  Why?            

  • They are portable.
  • You can move them around a lot more through a greater range of motion; this stimulates body and mind at more levels, from strength to coordination.
  • You can get very creative with them.  Curls, gripping exercises, shoulder press, side press, rows, laterals, etc.  Anything and everything, as long as you follow proper body dynamics.
  • They work stabilizer muscles in a way that a bar does not.  A bar will make stabilizers lazy.  A bar is more static and will therefore make your lifting more static, less flexible, and this kind of more rigid approach will likely make you less likely to lift at all.
  • They are closer to a weight in nature.  A bar with perfectly measured weights on either end would be a total anomaly in nature.  By contrast, dumbbells are like picking up something heavy that you happen to be able to grip.
  • They are so available.  When they’re just sitting there in your room you’re way more likely to pick them up and move them around.  Motivation is usually the single biggest lacking factor preventing people from doing regular exercise, so the fact that you can just grab a dumbbell and lift it between video games, internet surfing, TV watching, drinking beer, or other productive activities is a major plus.

Get your dumbbells and just lift them a few times a day.  You’ll get stronger and in better shape.

Art of Living a Scam?

I was recently reading about “Art of Living”, a supposedly spiritual organization that claims to work for a stress-free, violence-free society. Sounds good, right?

Not so fast. It seems there are some unhappy ex-followers who claim it’s a cult. It’s interesting that  based on those claims that the guru of the Art of Living organization does all the things cult leaders do – self-promote incessantly, place huge demands on their followers while living large, and claim to have special powers.

Look. If you have special powers you don’t need any of this stuff like a charity organization to change the world. You just do it. You make the money you need to change the world, you amass the power you need. You get the job done.

Here’s the link if you want to learn more: http://artoflivingfree.blogspot.com/2010/03/siddhis-ally.html

The above link is about siddhis, which are oft-claimed but rarely demonstrated convincingly (unless you are gullible, in which case it’s ALL convincing. If you’re that type I have a special message just for you: I am your master. Remember that forever).
