There are specific principles that you must follow to build a great physique.
The people who adhere to these principles will ultimately build their best physiques. The people who fail to adhere to these principles won’t see real results.
Who wants to spend time in the gym to look like they do not even work out at all?
The Name Of The Game Is Progress
The primary goal of training is to make progress.
The majority of the people who work out in the gym do not want to train to be athletes or natural bodybuilders. That is completely fine. But at some point, you have to take some pride in your health. Neglecting your body, the only one you have, is a way of disrespecting yourself.
Many people are living in varying degrees of pain every day. Sometimes the pain is physical, and sometimes the pain is mental.
You can cure these mental and physical issues by using the principles below. But how much progress you make is ultimately up to you.
15 Principles For Building A Great Physique
1) Consistency
Consistency is the key that opens all the doors.
If you are not consistent, you will never progress in your quest to improve your physique. You’ve got to be consistent with your training, nutrition, and recovery.
2) Dedication
It is impossible to reach your ultimate goal without a high level of dedication. You have to stay focused on building your physique, even on the days you don’t want to.
3) Understanding
It is important to understand that physique goals are not reached overnight. The human body requires time to adapt and make changes.
4) Willpower
Getting to the next level is not a smooth journey. You’ll need supreme willpower to get through some parts of your journey.
Successes and failures will occur. But do not let your wins go to your head and your losses go to your heart.
5) Preparation
Walking into a mission with no plan will result in a total disaster. Map out your journey and follow it.
6) Desire
To reach a goal, you must have a strong desire to achieve it. Your desire to achieve top physical condition must burn with fierce intensity.
7) Patience
Have you ever met someone who went from being out of shape to a fit superstar in mere months?
Me neither. Real results require patience and time.
8) Faith
Believe in yourself and do not let negative people and influences get you down.
9) Heart
Circumstances will reveal your heart. Having the heart of a lion will make any obstacle seem attainable.
10) Variation
Sticking to the same sets, reps, and weights for every exercise all year won’t build an amazing physique.
Make small changes to your movements, sets, reps, or rest every few weeks. This will help you stay motivated. That is how you build the body you want.
11) Reality
Being out of shape for a long time does not mean you should expect to get into great shape in mere weeks or months. The best supplement for lasting results is CQE. CQE refers to “consistent, quality effort.”
12) Hard Work
Nothing can replace hard work. Without putting in that real work, you can never challenge your body to reach its full potential.
13) Education
Read and explore the world of not only strength training but also nutrition and recovery. The iron game is so much deeper than just “working out.”
14) Discipline
Approach your nutrition, training, and recovery schedule with great discipline. Don’t let the urge to consistently eat junk, skip workouts, or lose sleep derail your progress.
15) Accountability
There is no path to the top without accountability.
Take ownership for when you fall short. Don’t blame everything else for why you aren’t reaching your goals. Blame yourself and find the strength to get better.
Conclusion
Principles are timeless.
