Visualization
Getting the Visuals
If You See It, You Can Become.
Visualization in the fitness and bodybuilding world can be an invaluable asset to achieving your goals.
You're plopped down in a lounge chair,
basking under the hot, tropical sun. A Pina Colada rests
comfortably in your hand, a tray of fresh fruit sits
to your side. And the women. Oh, the women.
Two of them are rubbing your shoulders,
each one working out the knots in your delts and traps.
Another is feeding you the fresh fruit while yet another
is busy fanning you with a soothing breeze.
Then, your visit to paradise comes
to an abrupt halt. As you're snapped out of your dreamy
vacation in the Bahamas, you're now faced with a cruel
reality. It's time to get back to work. That lounge
chair you were sunk into is actually an office chair
and the women surrounding you are angry bosses and nagging
secretaries, burying you with more and more work as
the day wears on.
While the return trip to reality
may be a painful one, visualization in the fitness and
bodybuilding world can be an invaluable asset to achieving
your goals. Without a vision of what you particularly
want to accomplish, your fitness voyage will be lacking
direction and purpose.
You must first map out your mission
and your plan. Paint a picture in your mind of how you
wish to look. Guys, you may want the sensational look
of a hulking Schwarzenegger or a bulging Haney. Or perhaps
you prefer the more moderate look of a Stallone or a
Van Damme. Ladies, you may be looking for the rock-solid
Cory Everson look or perhaps the sleek, shapely exterior
of Demi Moore.
Visualizing Your Goal
Nonetheless, there are several
steps through visualization to mold your body into the
shape of your choice.
First, get a picture or a photograph
- probably out of a magazine of somebody that you want
to look like, somebody who has the physique you desire.
Keep it in your locker or on your dresser, somewhere
that you'll be on a daily basis. This will remind you
of what all those painstaking visits to the gym are
all about. Keep the image fresh in your mind throughout
the day. Visualize the goal and take the necessary means
to become it.
Secondly, train your mind and your
muscles becoming one. When you're performing an exercise,
you want to do more than just merely cover the range
of motion. While paying the most strict attention to
form, you want to visualize in your mind what you're
muscles are actually doing. If your goal is to develop
a bulging, imposing chest, you'll want to imagine your
pectoral muscles spurting to new growth while you're
cranking out those strenuous bench presses.
If you want chiseled, defined biceps,
imagine the shredding process in your mind as you grind
out those excruciating curls on the cable machine. If
you want a trim waistline and a hardened six pack of
abdominal muscles, you want to visualize your midsection
becoming trimmer and sharper while you churn out the
intense sets of crunches.
You want your mind to form a direct
line of communication with your muscles. In other words,
your mind is the boss here and all your various muscles
are the workers that it dictates to.
And like that daydream you spend in
the tropical sun, your mind will to discipline your
muscles for any overindulging vacations.
