Mastering
The Power Of Expectation: What You Deeply Expect, You
Will BECOME! by Pete Siegel
A profound law of bodybuilding, and of life, is “What
is expected, tends to be realized.”
Take a moment here and think about what you expect
from your workouts. For example, what do you usually
expect when you go to the gym regarding:
• Your performance level?
• Your commitment/passion level?
• Your intensity level?
• Your set/rep completion drive?
• The results your overall workout will provide
you in terms of size progression?
• Strength progression?
• Definition progression?
I, of course, can go on and list 20 more workout related
factors. The point here is that, in a majority of cases,
you’ll find your expectation going into a workout
many times translates into experiential fact of life.
Your Personal Expectation Style
So what do you usually tend to expect regarding your
set/rep performance and overall results as you head
into a workout? Do you expect the best - or the worst?
Do you expect success and completion - or problems and/or
difficulties? Do you expect proficiency and power -
or vacillating focus and conviction levels? Do you expect
a lot of, and from, yourself (expecting a full degree
of commitment and intensity will be generated each set)
- or do you (honestly) hardly expect anything at all?
And here’s an essential point I want you to get
— if your expectations are not strictly positive,
success suggestive, and confidence based, they’re
literally keeping you from developing the true degree
of mind/blowing muscularity you, no doubt, actually
can!
New Expectations Which Empower You
Have you ever had a workout that was beyond - way beyond
- your “normal” range? Of course you have;
you’ve likely experienced this workout dimension
numerous times.
Was this a once in a million thing that just “somehow”
happened? Or, was it power and determination generating
through you, that you didn’t even know you possessed?
I’ll tell you right now, it was the latter --
it always is! And what would happen if you began to
expect through this part of you? What would happen if
your expectations were of peak performance, and sustained
intensity for each of your workouts? Hmmm…interesting,
huh!
Go ahead and employ the following, and, as such, revel
in your ability to project positive expectations which
incite muscular progress. Before you begin your workout:
A.) Know your full set/rep game plan (what exercises
you’ll be performing, and the number of sets and
reps you intend to do for each).
B.) Let your eyelids gently close, and vividly imagine
yourself feverishly, purposefully driving the body part
you’ll be training to peak contraction with the
first exercise you intend to perform. See, sense and
experience yourself completing all intended reps for
this first set of the exercise you’ll be performing.
C.) Now, project yourself toward the end of your workout;
imaginatively stand in front of one of the gym mirrors,
and envision your physique a striking reflection of
what you know you’ll produce this workout through
doing every set you perform in the manner you just visualized.
(Take your time here and really envision - and f-e-e-l
- your overall expected workout results.)
D.) Richly sense the ability, drive and power within
you to make what you just imagined, your physical fact
of life. Then take a long deep breath, let your eyelids
open, and begin your workout. Start expecting this new
way now (the entire A.-D. pre-workout process should
take you 20-25 seconds). And you’ll quickly find
your workout performance, and results, will start conforming
to your new, expecting the best tendency.
Remember: expectations are your choice, and your responsibility.
Go ahead now and make them pay you a decided, muscular
impacting profit…starting with your very next set!
