I was recently asked to write about the journey of training and dieting. While this seems like a rather arduous task, it really isn't. In a way, bodybuilding is somewhat similar to business. You need a vision ( of yourself) and a strategy as to how to get there.Do you have body parts that lack? Do you want to add another 15 lbs of muscle?
From there on you draw up a plan for 6 or 12 months and set the stage. As you go along ,you need to have smaller goals that are achievable within a 4 week time frame. ( upper abs coming through, bench up by 5 lbs etc). In my experience, athletes with a poorly laid out plan still do better than without one.
Another very important tool is visualization , you need to have a vision of yourself what you would like to look like. If that presents a problem, pick someone out of a magazine, or choose Tom Platz's legs, Arnolds biceps, Ronnies back ,Cutlers haircut :-) as your model.
Equipped with these tools, you should reach your potential!
Train hard,
Maik
