How To
Gain Weight Faster Using
Visualization
One of the
most important things you
must consider when you want
to learn how to gain weight
is visualization. By
focusing your mind on a
specific image, you can
increase your motivation
and achieve greater
strength and size gains.
The choice of visualization
is yours, because only you
know what will stimulate
you the most. Try
visualizing your workout
the night before you go to
the gym. During your set,
enter a training trance.
Visualize your muscles
growing with each
contraction. In time, the
dream will become
reality.
Visualization is one of the
greatest ways to build
muscle - and to maximize
intensity. Through the use
of mental imagery, you can
achieve a level of
concentration and focus
that will push you harder
than you ever thought
possible. Everyone who
excels in sports has a
clear picture of where he
or she wants to go. This
picture should be as
detailed as possible, so
you can believe in the
reality of it all.
Pick the
visualization that is most
effective for you. For
instance, you could
visualize that you are a
machine. By the mechanical
laws of nature you will
achieve your goals! You are
the ruler of your destiny,
and you choose to dominate
the weight with your
unrestricted willpower. Or,
you could use the imagery
of the world around you. As
you train, imagine your
biceps becoming mountains
of rock-hard muscle. Some
track stars think of
themselves as racehorses or
greyhounds with powerful
animal intensity. And most
people, of course, want
washboard abdominals, so
envisioning that might
help.
Concentrate
on these images as you
exercise each bodypart,
developing different
visualizations for
particular muscles if this
motivates you more. You
could even alternate the
images depending on your
mood. These images don't
have to "make sense" or be
based on reality. If the
visualization is effective,
use it.
Think about
these visualizations during
the day. Most important of
all, lock into them while
you do your exercises.
These positive images
increase your intensity and
help you to force out an
extra repetition or
two.
Some people
find they increase their
training intensity by
visualizing a workout the
night before they go to the
gym. This should be done in
a quiet, relaxing setting,
such as a peaceful corner
of your house or in bed
before going to sleep.
Going through the steps of
a training session can help
focus the mind on the task
to come. It may even aid
the subconscious in
preparing for the next
day's lifting.
