To back up what I mean...
20 years ago I trained slavishly in a gym owned by a champion body builder,
afte a few weeks he took me to one side and tried to explain why I was getting nowhere and wasting time and energy.
He told me to just relax, visualise the target I wanted to achieve, and 'feel' each exercise...
I thought he was talking bollox he must have picked up from an airhead Californian muscle magazine...
Until, a short time later, it just clicked, and I realised the genuine value of his advice...
He was afer all a champion,
and I was just an ordinary bloke trying to get a beer belly and office worker's arse back in shape...
Under his mentoring I ended up with a body almost like a middle weight boxer when I was 40...
His approach to being in the right mindset did the trick...
