Brilliant!.
It’s so true, that without the proper mindset and being able to visualize your goals and your workouts, you certainly won’t progress the way that you should. The mind is by far our most powerful muscle. Mike Mentzer once said to me, “Change your thinking, and you will change everything around you”. “GIGO..Garbage in..Garbage out”!.

Thanks for the great comments guys. Brian and Jim, I am also a big believer in visualization, it definitely works!

I always tell my clients, “Get your mind right!”. You have to visualize yourself putting forth a maximum effort before the first rep of every set or you will fall short. Also, visualize the muscles contracting, sqeezing at full ROM, and slowly lowering into a smooth transition into the next rep. Like you said Dave, the “how to” is the easy part. The mental aspect is the key component to any fitness regimen.

‘Where the mind goes, the body follows’. Couldn’t be more true than in working out. I’ve gotten to the point where I perform every workout several times in my mind before I even get to the gym.

Dave – it was great fun for me to do the interview and talk training (all aspects) with you. I, too get carried away when talking about exercise so I know how you feel. I hope your readers enjoy the article as much as I did working on it. – Fred
