Start Judging Your Success By the Size of Gap You Create Between Where You Began and Where You Are Now

Comparing Yourself To Other People May Not Be the Most Effective Way to Measure Your Progress

At one time or another, most of us have measured the quality of our physique and our training performance by how they compare to that of another person. Comparing how good we look or how effectively we train with another person can either propel our efforts off the charts—or bring our progress to a grinding halt.

But is this a healthy mental and emotional approach to take when trying to improve?

It could be. If you use someone else’s physical development as a driving force to help you train harder and eat better, it is indeed an effective, empowering approach. That’s pretty obvious. On the other hand, if seeing another person’s development and achievements in the gym discourages you, then you might really have some challenges. Frustration, overwhelm, and the desire to quit trying so hard could gradually take over your mindset. You’ll never live up to your true potential with this crippled mentality.

Many people make the mistake of discounting the amount of effort more successful people have invested into their training practices and healthy lifestyle. That’s very easy to do—and it’s somewhat of a delusional path of least resistance. A person will have an extremely difficult time becoming the best they can be when taking this route.

The challenges don’t stop there. If comparing yourself to less-accomplished individuals makes you complacent with what you are currently doing, you will subconsciously stop striving to reach higher levels. You’ll fall short of what you are truly capable of achieving. You may start settling for less after reaching a certain level just because it’s better than what most of those people around you are accomplishing.

If you do feel using comparisons is helpful, be careful not to be too easy on yourself. Sure, you might be doing better than others but you will not be fulfilled until you feel you are honestly living up to your own true potential.

The choice is yours as to what the level of achievement of the people around you means to you and what you will do with that meaning. It’s very interesting how one person’s efforts can affect another person’s. Just as you probably have, I’ve seen it happen both ways a number of times.

A person who inspires some people can be the very same person who discourages others. This is something you should take the time to think about. Oftentimes, we are not conscious of the affect other people have on our own efforts until a much later time. There’s a fine line between holding yourself to high enough standards to make the most out of your abilities and being so tough on yourself that you suffer a mental meltdown.

I've witnessed many people who have accomplished a great deal with their bodies. They look great. The only problem is they fail to realize what they have done. One of the biggest tragedies in life is when a person is doing well—but creates so much frustration and overwhelm along the way because they don’t appreciate the success they have earned.

You’re not always being fair to yourself when comparing yourself to others. Everyone is blessed and cursed with different genetic and lifestyle factors. Nothing in life is necessarily fair. In every area of your life, this works both for you and against you. It will never work only in your favor unless you have a superior mindset.

There’s nothing to feel guilty about just because you have more advantages than some other people. That’s also nothing to get too excited about because there will always be people who are more gifted than you. The sooner you realize this, the better off you’ll be. Only then will you stop using such comparisons and instead just get to work on becoming the very best version of you that’s humanly possible.

There’s nothing necessarily wrong with using the other people as sources of inspiration when setting ambitious goals. But you must honestly assess where you are now compared to where you’d like to eventually be. More importantly, you must take the time to reflect upon and appreciate where you have evolved from. The chances are great that you are doing a lot better than you realize.

The truth of the matter, however, is that your success is never defined by how you measure up against others. The battle to become the best you can be will be fought internally with yourself—rather than externally with comparisons to others.

You must strive to become the best version of you compared to you. Success is determined by the gap you create from where you began to where you are today. Start judging your success by the size of gap you create between where you began and where you are now.

It’s the person who creates the largest gap between where they started and where they are now with their bodybuilding and training efforts that is truly the most successful.

This is how I plan to help you reach your goals in this DVD set:

An Entire Week of Training Every Set and Every Rep!During the first part of the DVD, I will take you with me through an entire week of training every set and every repetition. I ll show you how I pack-on muscle more effectively and efficiently as I demonstrate and explain the Max-OT Training Principles and dozens of the physical, mental, and emotional tips I implement along the way.

Discover What You ve Learned after Watching the Week of Training. Then, I ll let you watch this same week of training bolstered by what I ve shared in the first part with just the real sound and action. You ll be amazed how much you ve learned and how much you ll be inspired watching this section after part one.

Cardiovascular Training. Cardiovascular training is an important part of the physique development process. High-intensity Max-OT Cardio and how it compares to other forms of cardiovascular training will be demonstrated and explained next.

20 More Exercises Demonstrated and Explained. Twenty (20) more highly-effective muscle-building exercises that were not scheduled during the week of training are outlined, demonstrated and explained in the following section of this DVD presentation.

Insightful Tips and Advanced Advice. I ve added insightful tips and advanced advice in the next section of Packing-On Muscle! Max-OT Style. You ll get an inside look at the little things that I do that will help you produce big results.

Action-Packed Body Part Training Clip Set to Music. To drive you to an even higher level of achievement, I ve organized inspirational, action-packed individual body part training clips set to music in the next section. You can cue the body part that you have scheduled to train before you head to the gym for an extra mental push.

Bodybuilding Contest Footage. See the finished "product." Watch contest footage from my back-to-back national championship victories.

Nutrition Seminar. You can train consistently, effectively, and efficiently in the gym, but if you don t back up what you do there with sound eating habits, your results will be severely compromised. During the final section of Packing-On Muscle! Max-OT Style, I will present a one-hour live seminar on nutrition a critical component of the bodybuilding and training process. Now, I can talk for days but I ve limited this seminar to what I believe are the most helpful nutrition tips and the most effective mental strategies and organizing principles.

Efficient Menu System to Help You Watch Packing-On Muscle! Max-OT Style Over and Over Again. I ve created an easy-to-surf menu system to guide you through the DVDs. You ll discover that the more you watch Packing-On Muscle! Max-OT Style the more you ll absorb the extensive information it contains.
