The Secret Of Mind And Body

I saw him through the gym windows exiting slouch, he seemed without chest. His head bowed. “There’ll be a lot of work to do” I thought. The first to believe to be successful would be just him.

The day after Carlos arrived in time at the gym. He wore a tracksuit, gym shoes and he drag a great bag.

"For heaven’s sake, son, what on earth there is in that bag?" I addressed indignantly to him.

"Beh, I took all my savings and I spent them for the clothes and for that…it’s the last supplement, the weight belt, some books that I brought to show them you and my spare clothes..."

"Mmh, at first address me as ‘tu’, we’ll share time and emotions together and it’s important that you see me as a friend. Then, I think that this session will be completely dedicated to the explanations."

"But what, do we don’t start? But we have few time at our disposal!" Said the guy with vehemence.

"Carlos, Carlos, I’ve trained a lot of people before you. I know the time necessary to become stronger. I know that without a good mental base you’ll be destined to the flop and I know that, right now, you’re plenty of wrong convictions." I pressed immediately him. "At first, I don’t want to see you again enter this gym with these fitness boy shoes. Never dare you to profane this temple. Do you know that the best gladiators and pioneers of our loved sport have fight here? Start to feel their spirits inside you during your training! Wear decent clothes when you enter here. Put these shoes!" I Said throwing at his foot a pair of common work shoes with the iron reinforced point.

Carlos bended to take them and made a grimace of trouble "Ouch, but what... How are they heavy! What are they for?"

"They’re for let you back home with your feet! If a 25-kilo disk would accidentally fall on your feet fingers you will be forced to walk on your heels for the rest of your life, and it would not be a good scene to assist".

Carlos, with his upset face, wore quickly the work shoes.

"Well, the first lesson will be for the "Releasing of the brain trash". Explain me how do you trained in this period, if you had never done it, how do you supported yourself with the nutrition and tell me about your general life style." I encouraged him to tell about.

"Yes, I’ve just brought with me some book to show you..." and opened the bag to take some book whose covering didn’t promise nothing good.

"Mmmh, I see. And, looking at these books I’ll understand how you’ve trained?" I answered promptly.

"Yes, I followed the program of the super champion Mr. Olympia to get enormous arms, then also this workout sheet, the quantic pumping, of Mr Universe and..." said while he was taking enthusiastic all these magazines from his bag and throwing them up on the table.

"For heaven’s sake son, stop you. Have I already told you that this is a temple? You’re torturing the spirits of ancient warriors beyond my patience with these chatters! Show me your most recent routine and your nutrition diary." I said completely overwhelmed.

He searched thoroughly the bag he had brought with him and took out a plasticised sheet on which I couldn’t see how much kilos he had lifted. Moreover, he didn’t know what would be a nutrition diary adding that he had always eat when his instinct let him understand that it was time to eat.

Resigned, I sighed and said "Let’s see what have you done in the last period." What a fright it almost gave me reading his papers! " Smith machine stretching on the flat bench 6 sets x 10, peck deck 5 sets x 12, cable cross 5 sets x 20, stretching to the press machine 5 sets x 8 reps, leg extension, sissy squat, cable push-downs, French press...it’s better to stop here, today the disappointments have been too much. My poor physique could not support more. Sit down and listen to me, then..."

"But what’s wrong? The super pumped trainer of my old gym said me that it is just in this way that he’s grew up. The leg extension isolates the muscle and then with the sissy squat I destroy it!" affirmed self-confident Carlos.

"Carlos, listen, the only thing that you destroyed is your good sense. The leg extension and, then, how can you do an exercise called sissy squat? It’s an exercise for sissies. I’ve just four words for you 'shut up and squat!' The sissy fuck against a good squat 'ass to grass’. Do you understand? Now, I want to be very frank with you. Up to now you’ve only lost your time. This routine is trash. Sit down and listen to me carefully. I will explain you the training lost Secret. That which forged thousands of iron athletes. I will put you back in the men category. Where the beauty was the strength and the strength was the undisputed power on all creatures of the universe. Are you ready? Now we can start.

You must know that I’ve American origins. My origins are very ancient and it’s said that my forebears are descended directly from ancient warriors. For a long time in my family a story is passed on.

About 30 years ago, 2 twins were born in a hospital of a rural country in the boundless Russia.

They both had on average abilities, but they had a strong personality and well precise goals in their mind. They grew up together until they married and went to live far each other with their respective wives. Then, they let out of their sight.

Many time after they saw again at a family meeting. The twins were still very similar. They had a like job, several sons and a wonderful wedding. Moreover, they had both matured a strong passion for the body culture.

But there was a difference.

One of them was enormously greater, stronger and more buffed than the other.

As concerns the twins I must say that they began together the body training.

What made their appearance so different?

The Knowledge. The right knowledge and a constant application.

I cannot promise that the success will be immediately yours if you will begin to follow my instructions. But I can guarantee that you will make a very fascinating trip looking for your potentialities and that I will give you all the necessary means to be excellent. It’s up to you then to put them in practice and act.

What the story taught us, guy?

The man since his origin has been always growing with the progressive overcharge. Do you know the Kaizen principle? It has been passed on directly to me by the last Japanese samurai warrior. According to this principle in your life you must always improve yourself, constantly. Even if you do a step behind, later you must do two steps ahead.

It’s said that at the age of the big conqueror Rome, there was a courageous and feared warrior. It’s known that this warrior trained transporting a young lamb on his shoulders along the path of a stadium. Every day, in the silence of his yard, he took this lamb on his shoulders and went all over his path. Day after day the lamb grew constantly of half-kilo, one kilo per day. Every day the warrior continued his training. He almost did not notice that the lamb was becoming a great adult bull since he was becoming constantly stronger too getting used to the changing bull weight. When after two years the one who was defined as the strongest gladiator of all arenas came to play him, found the warrior walking happy with a bull on his shoulders!

You cannot even imagine his reaction.

It’s said that he is still running away. I think that it’s just from him that the marathon legend took its origin! Well, that man did not manage to see beyond his nose. He saw only the current athletic performance of brute force without being able to understand how it could have been occurred. He saw the finish line and not the whole path to achieve it. Every success seems easy once achieved, but it’s never preceded by a linear way, you can even stumble along the path but if the goal is there, fixed in your mind, before or later you will achieve it. Undoubtedly our warrior trained to achieve that result

But the gladiator was too busy to hear his inner voice saying that it was impossible and that, undoubtedly, he was in front of a demon spitted out from the Cerberus jaws instead of a common man with an extraordinary tenacity. Well, the warrior had been successful since he had applied the Kaizen principle, the principle of the progressive overload. Train you trying to constantly overcome your limits at the gym like in your life and you will obtain all you fixed results. This is the most important concept and I invite you to put it well in your mind. Until you will continue to pump, to lift always the same sissy weights, doing a lot of sets and reps, you will remain just a spineless sissy!

The second secret comes from the Vikings! It’s written in the rock and passed on only to the bravest among the male first born of the strongest warrior families,

You must know that someone among these valorous men fight nude against the adversaries. They were called "furious" just for their ability in not feeling the stabbing pain of cut wounds they received. They continued to move ahead and fight, always, up to the victory. Then their wounds healed. Before the battle, do you know what they were thinking that would have occurred? They believed to be protected by the God Odin in person!

May be that you’re believing that they were the only people having boosting convictions. Have you ever read something of the Bible, guy? I think that you don’t know neither what I am talking about, I can guess it seeing you gawping, isn’t it?

Listen.

A lot of motivational authors, the progenitors, thought, with good reason, that this book would be the most important motivational book in the world. In the first part of the Bible, called Ancient Testament, it is passed on the story of an ancient people. It tried to live peacefully respecting the commandments of its God. But when it was attacked, its warriors were very feared. It’s told that one of them could stand up to at least 10 adversary warriors.
