Something about not feeling overawed, distracted, or influenced by “bigger” possibly synthetically enhanced individuals around me.

Something about sticking to the plan (logs).

Let’s make it count and never forget it.

1. I understand that each workout is an opportunity for growth. If I under-perform, I can NEVER get that opportunity back – I’ll always be 1 workout behind.
2.I will give it my ALL today! Anything less than 100% intensity is NOT an option.
3. I will look at my workout log and know hw many reps I have to beat BEFORE each set.
4. I can now see my body EXACTLY how I would Like it to be. Success today takes me one step closer to that dream!
5. When I feel like I can’t make progression on a given set, I will dig down deep and pull another rep out of me!
6. I will make EVERY SINGLE REP count!
7. I will make EVERY SINGLE SET count!
8. I feel STRONG today!
9. I will break all records today!
10. I won’t give my body any other choice but to GROW!

I totally agree with keeping a lift log, when you see that you hit 11 reps last time, you damn sure know you’re going to do atleast 12 today! I always lift alone down in the dirty old basement, no music or distractions, just my mind and the weights. I use pain as my lifting partner who’s screaming at me to go one more rep when I feel I’m finished. When I hit this mindset, whether it’s the end of the first set or the last rep of the day I make myself get pissed off and give it the old “IF YOU WANT MY ATTENTION I’LL GIVE IT TO YOU” attitude.

Pain is not my enemy, pain is my friend who helps me achieve my goals.

Feel your Goal come closer as you push past your last limit. Look in the mirrior the next day and know you have no regrets.

Another good one is: “I will check my daily BS at the door, and focus on making that one hour in the gym count for more than the other 23 in the day”

Weightlifting isn’t, and shouldn’t be made, more complicated than those 7 things. You cover what you’re going to give and what you’re going to do (pre-workout), reminders to make it count and finish strong (workout), and focusing on the results and the future goal you have set (post-workout).

Bravo Mark.

One thing i always like to tell myself before i work out is ,
“Today i will UNLEASH the BEAST within me”

]]> By: Johnnyrey https://musclehack.com/the-muscle-hackers-creed/#comment-71067 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 14:44:36 +0000 https://musclehack.com/?p=6927#comment-71067 I have a few sayings that I love, here are a few that might fit:

Only the weak attempts to accomplish what he knows he can already achieve.

Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing, today I will push for the impossible.

“Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.” -Arnold Schwarzenegger

Don’t do your best, Do what it takes!

Pain is weakness leaving the body

Victory always starts in the head. It’s a state of mind. It then spreads with such radiance and such affirmations that destiny can do nothing but obey.

“For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.” – Arnold Schwarzenegger

The difference between dreams and accomplishments is purely desire.

Hope these help!

Today I WILL eat SMART to feed my body so I can continue to reach my fitness goals.

Today I WILL get a full night’s rest so I can get up tomorrow and do it again!

Today I shall not focus on what the scales tell me nor what I look like in the mirror but more of what my body is saying and what I know is good for me.

I shall train dirty and eat clean and be a happy positive approachable influence to be around.

I shall try to inspire others to join me!!

Thxs bud, have an awesome Thursday!!
