Raise Your Standard Of Lifting

bodybuilder-lifting-exercises

It all starts with a decision: Do you want to be average or excellent? Part of the top 1% or the bottom 99%? I’ll tell you, it’s lonely at the top, but the air is so much nicer.

Let’s jump past the questioning and make the decision that mediocrity is not the goal. Looking, feeling, and performing like everyone else is not why you grind in the gym every week or why you count your calories and macros like a mathematician. You do it to be constantly improving physically and mentally, and because if you’re going to workout anyway, it might as well count for something.

Maybe you’re not at that place with your workouts or your nutrition yet. Or maybe you used to be and you’ve lost the drive to push yourself-to see what you’re made of every time you walk through the door.

No matter where you’re at, let’s look at some critical things we need to constantly play on repeat to mentally and physically raise our standards.

1. FIND YOUR WHY

“Why?” is the most powerful question in the world. Ask yourself why you must be in the best shape of your life. Not why you want to be, but why you must.

Wanting something is rarely a strong enough motivator to take action. It might make you start walking, but something becomes a necessity, that’s when you learn to run and never look back.

Find a deep reason to why you must work hard to keep progressing, and commit to a higher level of performance. Demand excellence from yourself.

2. BE DISCIPLINED AND CREATE ROUTINES

Everyone has days they feel extreme levels of motivation to train hard and eat right, but those days are greatly outnumbered by the ones filled with lethargy. More often than not, it feels better to settle for “decent” and just coast along, so to combat that, it’s vital to have a strong sense of discipline and routines that automate decisions.

Discipline is really just a byproduct of good routines. If you have your meals planned, good supplements and your workout times scheduled for the same time/days every week, the decision whether or not to give into our lazy desires is suddenly no longer difficult because the routine already decided it’s happening.

Set and stick to a routine, and you’ll be disciplined.

3. EDUCATE YOURSELF

If you work hard, give 110%, but you’re putting effort toward the wrong exercises or the wrong nutrition plan, you’re not going to win the game. Staying educated and being in a mode of constant learning and experimentation is the only way to progress.

Find the top people in your areas of interest and consume as much as you can, and apply it to your workouts. See what gets results and what doesn’t. Consume enough quality variety to start drawing conclusions of your own and piecing the puzzle together. Never stop learning, reading D-bal reviews and applying what you learn.

It all starts with a decision. Which one will you make?

Whey Protein Vs Casein Vs Soy: What Protein Is Best?

Image
Some people hear the hype about whey protein and think it’s the only protein source worth taking. While it does have hype behind it for good reasons, other protein sources have their places for bodybuilders and general health nuts as well, so we’ll take a look at which protein you should take at what times and why. Let’s keep this short and sweet, and dig in to the uses of Whey Protein vs Casein and Soy (although egg white protein is a fourth source, most people get enough of it through eating eggs, and won’t most likely be looking to further supplement their diets with it). This is in no way intended to be an exhaustive list of stats, but more of a general guideline for people wondering which protein(s) they should take.
