When you step into the gym and those gym doors close behind you, what do you do?

Are you prepared to lift weights and workout?

Do you record your workouts in a log book?

Do you know how much weight you need to lift or how many reps you need to do to improve?

Surely, you have a plan to improve on the previous workout. If you want to build muscle, you better plan on getting better and making progress each and every workout. If you don’t give your body a reason to build muscle, it’s just not going to happen…

Now, in order to improve each and every workout, you must develop a specific mindset. And you must get your mind in shape for each and every workout. If you are serious about building muscle, you must develop this mindset.

If you don’t think this is important, you are crazy. You can continue going to the gym and wasting your efforts, your hard-earned money, and your precious time. Keep sweating and working your butt off for nothing.

You better start developing the mindset you need to win the war against the weights. If you don’t, I guarantee the weights will crush you. You won’t have a chance. You’ll struggle against the weights and get no results.

This mentality I speak of is the WARRIOR mentality. The warrior prepares for the battle. The warrior never gives up. The warrior fights until the end. And the warrior is relentless against his/her opponent. Nothing stops the warrior.

When you take that first step into that gym, you hear the doors close behind you. This means it’s time to fight. It’s time to battle the weights. There’s no turning back. You have no fear. You know that you WILL win this war. You get your log book out. And you know you will beat the previous numbers. And you will build muscle.

Sure, weight lifting is tough. It’s even tougher when you battle the weights each and every workout trying to lift heavier or do more reps. But, you have to prove to your body that it needs more muscle to survive the next workout. Do that, and you will build muscle!

There will come a time during each set in which your mind will warn you to stop. Your mind is trying to protect your body in its current state. And your mind is doing its job. But, your body can do more. And when you do more, you get rewarded. You get lean muscle mass! You win the battle. Would a warrior ever quit?

NO. Hell No. A warrior does not quit. It doesn’t matter what it takes. A true warrior will do whatever it takes to win the battle. A warrior laughs at pain and wants more. Victory is near. Never stop fighting.

You know what? You have a warrior inside of you just dying to get out! I guarantee you find him/her very soon. Remember this article as your walking through the gym doors. As those doors close, BAM!!! The warrior inside of you has just emerged. Now go win that battle!
