BodyBuilding Will Never Die...

The trend these days is to convince people that you don't have to do body building type of movements to get into optimal shape and to reap the rewards of health.

I beg to differ.

No one knows more about how to get into shape than bodybuilders.

NO ONE.

Until you've done it yourself, you have no idea.

The discipline that it takes to get into contest shape is WAY undervalued.

"On, he's just on steroids", the guy across the gym says.

"I could be that big and ripped too if were using illegal drugs", the personal trainer says.

Oh, could you?

I really doubt it.

As someone with 23 years of bodybuilding and fitness training, I've worked with and hung around the top people in the industry of bodybuilding, fitness and figure.

Lee Priest, Adela Garcia, Monica Brant Peckam just to name a few.

They all have one thing in common that those who have never been in shape do not.

They have discipline.

They have mental focus.

They do not use excuses.

They use bodybuilding type of movements.

Unless you've been under a heavy bar with the fear of God inside of you telling you that will not be able to do another rep, that you are going to puke then you will not be able to relate to this.

You will never develop the mental toughness that is bodybuilding.

You can fool yourself but you won't fool the true fitness experts - bodybuilders.

And you won't fool, Arnold.
