I was interviewed on a podcast recently in which most of the discussion was around mental training. (Of course, I’ll share that with you once it is live.) But we happened on a concept I hadn’t quite thought about before. The fact is… You are ALWAYS mental training…whether you think …
The Future of Healing…
The other week I posted a message with my case against personal trainers. (If you missed that you can read it here.) That contrarian perspective yielded a lot of response, but people agreeing and disagreeing. Today I specifically want to share a message from Tyler I’m a personal trainer and …
Try this Mental Training Drill…
A long-time customer wrote in with his intensive mental drill that is working wonders for him. I thought this was worth sharing with everyone. As the title says, it is INTENSIVE. There’s a lot going on. While I would encourage you to give the whole thing a go…it might be …
8 Overrated Fitness Ideas
Please note that when I say overrated, I mean just that. These are rated higher than they ought to be in my judgment. That doesn’t mean they aren’t useful at all or don’t have their places. With that in mind start ruffling some feathers… Marathons This is still seen by …
What Hypnosis in Training Looks Like
This is what hypnosis in training looks like from the outside. Of course, the most important part of using hypnosis is what is going on inside your mind-body, but that I can’t “show” you. Most often, when I use hypnosis in training it is self-hypnosis where I am guiding myself …
Do Genetics Matter?
I love the placebo effect. It’s a subject matter worth diving into. I first started really getting into it around the time that I wrote Mental Muscle. Facts like placebo surgeries often doing as well as real surgeries. Facts like placebos working…even when people are told they’re placebos. Facts like …
Should I Be Symmetrical in Strength?
I copy a conversation thread with a customer below as I figure some other people will find it interesting and useful. It covers how to target weak spots as well, body symmetry, and whether or not to aim for this. Enjoy! Laid writes: “If you remember I recently wrote you …
What is FLOW?
Flow… It’s a big buzzword these days, but what does it really mean? Ask different people and you’ll get many different answers. Inside of Mental Muscle, I included a large section about how to access and strengthen your flow state for greater performance. Much of that work was modeled from …
Multiple Ways to Imagine…
Two days ago, I told you about an idea I found from Ironmind’s Milo magazine that I really liked. (If you missed that one about injury prevention you can check it out here.) Now, something I disagree with. This is from an article on Mental Training for All Athletes by …
That Kinesthetic Feeling…
It’s amazing… Amazing how OUT of touch people are with their bodies. I know we place all the value on our brains in our culture, but damn. From the neck down many people have next to zero bodily awareness. Even among trainers and athletes…it can be very bad. Sure, you …
To Press a Lot You Must Press a Lot
Fil states: “I’d love help in increasing my one arm dumbbell overhead press.” While more details certainly would have helped me give more directed information, I can still talk about this in a more general way. Pavel Tsatsouline popularized an old Russian saying: “To Press a Lot You Must Press …
You can’t learn it from a book
I love books. You may have seen some of the videos I’ve done in front of my book shelves. Here’s a photo in case you haven’t… Yes, I read a lot. I find it is a great way to gain information, plus I enjoy it. There is a problem with …
Mind Muscle Connection
Anyone that has been involved in strength or muscle building for even a short amount of time is likely to come across the term, mind muscle connection. But like many things having to do with the mind it is ill-defined. Being ill-defined it is then tough to really develop as …
Big Muscle Gains on Little Time…
Don asks the following questions regarding muscle gains on limited time. I’ve purchased a number of your materials through Dragon Door and through Legendary Strength. Thank you for creating such great quality stuff. I have a question for you regarding training frequency for muscle gain. Could you provide any guidance …
Applied Knowledge is Power
Had to share this comment from Inner Circle member, Scott. It flies in the face of the cultural idea that things get worse with age. (And we all need to work to overturn that idea both personally and then to influence others by example.) Hi Logan, Your newsletters and books …
