Let's face it; insane muscle gain is no easy task.
Getting major results in terms of insane muscle gain and increased strength only come from one source – pushing yourself harder than ever every time you enter the gym. A major reason why most people fail at achieving the insane muscle gain they desire is because they aren't pushing themselves hard enough at the gym. The question is, why not? The reason is…
It hurts. It's uncomfortable. It hurts like hell.
Well, tough luck, Chuck, because if you are looking for insane muscle gain you're going to have to move beyond the pain that comes with hard training at the gym.
You deserve insane muscle gain, so take a look at the techniques below to learn how to numb your feelings of pain and push past them to reach your goals. Give some of the following methods a try and I think you'll be pleased with the results...
1) Life-Threatening Situations
Right when you think you want to give up, start imagining a life-or-death situation where you have to move the weight or someone will die. Example: while doing chin-ups you can pretend that you are actually dangling from a cliff, or when deadlifting you can imagine that you are lifting a car off of someone.
2) Magnetic Force
Imagine that the weights you're lifting are live magnets being attracted the opposite way.Pretend that the weights you're lifting are powerful magnets and that they're being pulled in the opposite direction. If you're performing a bench press, imagine that the bar is a magnet being attracted to the ceiling.
3) Envision Your Muscles
Muscles grow larger and stronger when you tear down the fibers and force your body to adapt. To stay focused, imagine what's happening to your muscle fibers during the set. Imagine how the muscle fibers are tearing and being engorged with nutrients, building up to some insane muscle gain.
4) Have Someone Watch You
We're not talking safety; we're talking an audience. Our work ethic improves when we know someone is watching us.
5) Positive/Negative Force
Maximize your pushing exercises by visualizing that you are repelling something negative away from your body.When it comes to pushing exercises, imagine pushing something or someone bad away from your body. You can associate anything with this: someone you don't like, a negative emotion or something material. Do the opposite for pulling exercises and draw in something positive. It might be cash, a person you love or a happy feeling.
6) Set Ridiculous Goals
If you were planning to perform 5 reps on the next set, aim for 100 instead. Truly convince yourself of this. When you start the set, really believe you will do 100 reps.
7) Close Your Eyes
Be smart and only use this technique on the simple exercises. You definitely wouldn't want to employ this technique when squatting or deadlifting. On easy exercises, close your eyes. This will block out all of your visual stimuli and will allow you to focus 100% on performing the exercise.
8) Pretend It's Someone Else's Pain
Push yourself to muscular failure (or at least very close to it) is a must if you really want to achieve insane muscle gain. While you are approaching muscular failure, pretend that the pain you are experiencing is also being felt by someone that you dislike. The harder you push, the more pain you will transfer to them. This might seem like a "cold" technique, but the bottom line is that it works.
