Hey,
Every year people train and diet right up close the the show and STOP.
Out of nowhere they say, "I'm not doing it."
I am always shocked and thinking - Wow, 12 weeks of chicken, rice and vegetables for nothing...
When I ask "why" and can you guess the answer?
Of course you can guess!
Their gym buddies get to them.
Gym people that they see daily tell them they have no chance... you know the ones.
Those same gym people haven't been to a show in 10 years but yet have an opinion.
That gym guy that tells you to show him your abs and he shakes his head and says, "nope".
YOU CAN'T WIN that's what he says... like he did you a favor? Well guess what he is the same guy that if you were 100% ready and went and won would tell other gym members you are on steroids...
That's it - one more contestant who could have made it - OUT!
Don't let them get to you.
Stay as far away as you can from these negative people.
Most of those people giving advice do nothing themselves.
They shut down ALL of your goals.
They talk you OUT of everything.
And guess what - "THEY" are EVERYWHERE.
Close your ears and focus! People are always looking for extra motivation
but that comes from you sticking to the plan.
Most people can physically get in shape and enter the show yet mentally
they back out. They start imagining things like doing a tiny show so they feel
like they can win it. They imagine not winning and being let down. They turn
the contest part of the event into making them crazy with stress.
It's not only the gym guys that tell you that you can't compete and you are not
ready for a show but you can allow your own head to talk you out of it.
You may even start thinking crazy thoughts about feeling like you might lose.
First thing you should do is - Just register and get the stress of thinking "I MIGHT do it..."
get that part out pf the way... know you are ENTERED and does the focus get easier.
If you walk around THINKING about it, WONDERING and then STRESSING OUT
that leaves you with a 98.99 chance you are going to QUIT and BACK OUT.
Who cares what those people have so say.
And don't talk yourself out of it...
Stay the Course,
Brian
