You got what it takes, but it will take everything you’ve got!
Changing your body is not something that everybody can do. A lot of people “kinda want it”. “It would be nice if I can achieve it without the effort required.” If it were easy, everybody would do it.
In bodybuilding, its all about how bad you want it. There will be pain, its normal. There will be weights that you cannot lift this week, but if you are disciplined and know how to listen to you body, you know your limits and you also know how far out you can push them. There is also a fine line between giving your everything and exhaustion. The body always has to know that future workouts are coming so he overcompensates in advance for the future effort he is expecting.
The secret is consistency, planning, discipline. Without those, you can not go “all in” one day or one month and get results. It’s true that in the beginning period you will be able to notice the most dramatic changes, since the body is also eager to change and imporove.
Afterwards, after a period of a few months of intense work, thats when it becomes difficult, thats when fatigue and soreness comes into play, and you start questioning whether you can keep on doing things or not. Spoiler alert: YOU CAN!
“When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you’ll be successful.”
― Eric Thomas, The Secret to Success
Mindset is key to achieving your goals. If you are mentally strong enough to do something, for sure you are physically strong enough to do it.
