Is It Your Plan That's the Problem--Or Is It YOU?

By Skip La Cour
Six-Time National Champion Bodybuilder
Success Coach

Many Bodybuilders Constantly Switch from One Plan to Another

Momentum is a powerful force for you to use when striving for your bodybuilding goals. Most people never have the chance to experience the tremendous benefits created by momentum. Unfortunately, they give up hope, focus, and discipline. They are continually starting and stopping, starting and stopping, and starting and stopping again. Sure, they'll eventually regenerate their enthusiasm and optimistically start again—only to stop when they perceive their challenges as too difficult to overcome. They see themselves as doing a lot of work—without seeing results they mistakenly believe should match their overestimated efforts.

At one time or another, we've all accomplished our short-term bodybuilding goals such as having a good day of training and eating properly. Those victories give us great feelings, don't they? No matter how great that single event or day may be, one training session or one day of outstanding habits alone will not create an outstanding physique.

When you can turn that one great day into a great week, that great week into a great month, and string together a series of great months, you begin to create the powerful force known as momentum.

When you can harness the awesome power of momentum to help you in your bodybuilding efforts, the task of constructing an admirable body will suddenly seem incredibly easier. With the power of momentum working for you, the tasks that once seemed difficult to get yourself to do will become amazingly easy.

Take Action and Do This NOW!

Give your training routine the time it needs to produce results. Stick with a workout plan long enough to see results. Oftentimes, results don't come as quickly as we'd like so it's important to be patient. You must give the program a chance to take hold and begin working. Don't make the same mistake many people do and bounce from one program to another without giving any one of them a concerted effort first. Generally, a three-month period is long enough to properly evaluate a program's effectiveness. If you come across a different, but interesting routine before three months have been completed with your current program, do yourself a favor and refrain from using it until later.

Likewise, give your nutritional program enough time to properly determine its effectiveness. The way you eat will have a tremendous effect on your results. Just as you should stick with your training program, you also must follow your nutritional plan for a long enough period of time to see the results it will yield. A couple of months of dedicated adherence should be long enough to assess the eating plan's effectiveness.

So, You Haven't Put the Effort Into Your Eating Habits for Far Too Long--and You Want Results Overnight? How Much Sense Does That Make?

By Skip La Cour
Six-Time National Champion
Success Coach

Many Bodybuilders Have Unrealistic Expectations for the Eating Plan They've Chosen

This mistake occurs when bodybuilders don’t give the nutritional plan they’ve chosen adequate time to see results before switching to another one or giving up altogether.

Here’s the challenge:

“I tried one of the popular eating plans a couple of weeks ago—but it just didn’t work for me. It just wasn’t right for my body type. I think I’m going to start this new diet I’ve been reading about.”

You must give the diet you have chosen your full focus and attention in order to get the best results. Just about any diet, when implemented on a consistent basis, will work for you. But, you must have confidence in your diet in order for you to give it your full focus and attention.

People let themselves become confused easily and can’t even get started on a nutritional plan without 100 percent certainty that the diet plan they are doing will work for them.

With all the diets available, it will be almost impossible for you to have 100 percent certainty and confidence in the diet you have chosen. Just when you think you are on the right path, you will hear or read about a new “miracle” diet. Just when you are ready to dig in and get going on a structured eating program, a person you know will tell you about all the amazing results they are getting with their diet—which seems very different than yours. Heck! Even if your diet is working, you will sometimes doubt if it is working well or fast enough.

Instead of focusing on the differences, try to discover how the diets are similar. You need to ask yourself, “What do these diets have in common?

If you are not getting the results you want with your diet, you’ll need to raise your standards. You either need to do a “little more of this” or a “little less of that.”

Take Action and Do This NOW!

Food selection, food quantities, meal frequency, meal timing, cardiovascular training intensity, cardiovascular training frequency, weight training, and weight training frequency are all factors that are 100 percent in your own control. Focus on finding the right combination of these factors that work best for you. You must determine what you must do more of and what you must do less of to reach your body improvement goals.

Your Body and Mind Need Scheduled Time Off to Rest and Recuperate

By Skip La Cour
Six-Time National Champion
Success Coach

Many Bodybuilders Don’t Take the Scheduled Breaks Off From Weight Training That They Must Have to Grow—and Mistakenly Believe They Are Helping the Muscle-Building Process.

Some bodybuilders want to train for months on end without taking an extended weeklong break from lifting weights. Again, I certainly appreciate their enthusiasm to train. Training intensity, which is the cornerstone to productivity in the gym, inevitably drops when you go on marathon runs without a break—even if you don’t realize it.

Take Action and Do This NOW!

You absolutely must schedule enough time out of the gym so your body can fully recover. You will need to take a week off from training every eight to ten weeks. Your muscles grow when they are recuperating out of the gym. This time out of the gym and off of training will allow your body to rest and recuperate adequately. When you return to the gym after these breaks, you’ll be fortified with renewed physical intensity and mental energy.

You must understand that the seemingly step backwards you experience when you return after taking a week off will go away soon enough. I understand how that uncoordinated feeling breaks your momentum. You don’t perform as well the first week back in the gym. You aren’t always as strong. You must fight through this discomfort. You’ll be back up to speed during your second week back—and your body will respond better to training in the weeks ahead. Trust me. Enjoy your weeklong break. If you’ve trained hard, effectively and efficiently, you deserve the break.

Keep Your Head Up! You ARE Making Progress from Your Efforts

By Skip La Cour
Six-Time National Champion
Success Coach

Many Bodybuilders Don’t Recognize or Appreciate the Progress They Are Making

Hitting a plateau, or in other words, having your training progress come to a screeching halt, is probably one of the most feared and frustrating events a person can ever experience. There isn’t anyone on this planet who wants to work extremely hard at something—and not show signs of improvement. This is especially true when it comes when adhering to a demanding bodybuilding lifestyle.

Becoming stagnant with your training progress will surely lead to frustration—a feeling that undercuts the level of fulfillment you hope to enjoy from your efforts. The mounting frustration, if not quickly alleviated, will eventually overwhelm you. Becoming overwhelmed is the primary reason many people stop training altogether.

Unfortunately, too many people quit due to the frustration caused by a merely perceived lack of progress. With this disempowering perception, they can only muster a halfhearted effort—at best—as a way of protecting themselves from experiencing the pain. This situation occurs whether or not the person realizes what is happening.

Stop and think about your situation for a moment. Can your progress ever really stop if you are consistently putting forth your best effort? If you are training with any type of regularity and intensity, and supporting that training with sound nutritional practices, you can rest assured you are not really stagnant—regardless of what you may think. Oftentimes, you will be improving even when you don’t necessarily feel you are.

One of my favorite illustrations of what I am explaining comes from motivational speaker Zig Ziglar. In his story “Primin’ the Pump,” Ziglar talks about a man who goes to an old-fashioned well to pump some drinking water. The man pushes the pump’s lever over and over again, and is seemingly making no progress whatsoever.

The man is indeed making progress, however; it just isn’t visible to him at the time. Deep in the underground pipes, suction is being created and is slowly siphoning the water to the surface. If he gets discouraged and stops pumping, the water will fall again—and he’ll have to start all over.

If he is persistent, the man will eventually see results from his efforts and enjoy a surging flow. At this point, he’ll no longer need to pump as hard because now only a little force produces enough water to equal ten times the effort he gave at the beginning.

Sometimes it feels as though you are putting ten times the effort into your training than you seem to be getting in improvements. But, if you are persistent, you will enjoy the benefits of living the bodybuilding lifestyle that could be ten times greater than the effort you invest—just like the man who was primin’ the pump. You just never know for sure—so be persistent.

Take Action and Do This NOW!

Appreciate what you’ve already accomplished. Look back for a moment. Haven’t you really accomplished a lot more than you may have thought? Aren’t you a lot farther along than you were a year ago today? Wouldn’t it be great to look back in another year and see the continual progress you have made?

What if you wasted an entire year simply because you lost your motivation and strayed away from your plan? Wouldn’t that wasted time feel much worse than if you simply remained committed and worked through the times when your motivation is a bit lower than you would like?

The chances are pretty good that you’ve worked through times like these before. There probably aren’t any good reasons why you won’t successfully pull through these downtimes again.

A real tragedy is when a person who is “winning” at their bodybuilding and training efforts mistakenly believes they are losing. A way to prevent this from happening to you is by finding effective ways to track and monitor your efforts. Taking the time to assess your training and eating habits on a weekly basis can help you maintain the right perspective. More often than not, you’ll realize that you are doing much better than you thought you were before reflecting back on your efforts.

I’ll Coach You to the Next Level and Turn You Into a “Mass Machine” with This Free 30-Minute mp3 Sound File!

Hello Men.

It’s Skip La Cour.

If you’ve read my articles or have listened to my podcasts and talk radio shows, then you know that I constantly stress this concept . . .

Your MIND is your most powerful training tool!

“Mass Machine” many years ago because of my extremely disciplined and effective approach to bodybuilding and training.

I am going to share with you my SECRET that helped me develop the tremendous ability to focus and execute—and I am going to get you excited about taking a 30-Day CHALLENGE that will totally TRANSFORM the way you attack your training, eating, and thinking habits FOREVER!

I was able to HARNESS the tremendous power of my brain and win six national bodybuilding championships because:

1. I was able to identify, study, and focus on ONLY WHAT I NEEDED TO KNOW with my training, eating, and mental habits—and AVOID the useless, misguided, and confusing information.

2. Then, I constantly “programmed” my brain on both a conscious and subconscious level to stay completely FOCUSED on what I needed to do to get the job done!

Your IDENTITY is Crucial to Your Success!

Now, it’s time for YOU to turn into a Mass Machine the very same way that I did—and take your bodybuilding and training efforts THROUGH THE ROOF!

“Why Mass Machine?” you might be asking yourself right now.

Your identity; how you see yourself; how you “label” yourself; is the most POWERFUL force you have available to you to reach your bodybuilding and training goals.

Your identity gets you through the challenging times—and it forces you step up, ask for more out of yourself, and kick things to an even HIGHER level when times are going well.

MASS: Because you build dense, rock-hard muscle and lose body fat that creates QUALITY MASS onto your physique.

and . . .

MACHINE: Because you work toward your bodybuilding and training goals with “machine-like” precision, focus, and perfect execution of the key daily disciplines needed to succeed.

Think about it for a moment:

What would a person with the empowering identity like a Mass Machine do next when he’s laying in bed in the morning or sitting on the couch after work when he feels too tired to get his butt up and go to the gym?

Or, when a friend puts some mouth-watering pizza in front of his face and his next schedule “cheat day” is still a couple of days away?

What about when he has to decide whether he should use the 50-pound dumbbells or the 45-pound dumbbells during the next set?

Or, if he’s going to do his scheduled cardiovascular session like he knows he should—or blow it off?

When you become a Mass Machine, there’s absolutely no question that you are going to jump up and get to the gym no matter how tired you feel; pass on the pizza and wait until you’ve earned it; grab the 50-pounders with courage and confidence; and do your cardiovascular training anyway!

That’s the powerful effect your identity has on your ACTIONS.

Do you need some of more of that POWER?

It sounds awesome, doesn’t it?

Are you sick and tired of letting yourself down? Are you starting to get disgusted with all the stupid excuses you are making when you don’t do what you already know you should do?

Well, believe it or not, that power is ALREADY inside of you—and I desperately want you to start drawing upon it NOW!

The MM120 (Mass Machine 120)

I’ve created this 30-minute mp3 sound file with over 120 POWER STATEMENTS that pound into your brain EXACTLY what you need to focus on and execute to create the physique that you really want.

I’m “in your ear” with the most effective and efficient raining, nutrition, and motivational strategies.

It’s a COMPLETE OVERVIEW of everything that I’ve been teaching you for years efficiently compacted into this 30-minute personal coaching session!

Here are just a few examples of what you will hear me say as I COACH you to the next level:

• “You know that training intensity is giving 100 percent of your mind, body, and soul to every repetition, every set, every exercise, during every workout.”

• “You get yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, and psychologically ready for every single set you perform in the gym.”

• “You always expect the best from your efforts—and don’t get discouraged if you don’t see the results you want as soon as you want. You are patient. You are persistent. You are a MASS MACHINE!”

• “You create a series of daily action steps—Daily Disciplines—that you can execute every day to get you closer to the body you ultimately want.”

• “You let the power of MOMENTUM work for you—and do NOT keep switching from one plan to another without giving each one the time and effort they need to produce results.”

Again, there are over 120 statements just like these that are crammed into this coaching session!

Here’s the MM120 (Mass Machine 120) Challenge:

Download this file to your IPod (or mp3 player).

Listen to the 30-minute recording every day during your 5-day structured week for the next 30 days. Ideally, you want to listen to this recording while you are working out in the gym.

Only listen to these MM120 five days during the week. There’s no sense in getting burned out doing too much. 30 minutes just five days a week will be plenty of “exercise and practice” to get these statements into your subconscious thought process and automatically integrate them into your bodybuilding ad training lifestyle without a lot of effort.

If you can’t listen to them while you are working out, then download this mp3 file to your home computer and invest the time listening to them first thing in the morning.

Even if you get “bored” with this process, promise yourself to stick with it for 30 days. Many times, we are getting positive results in our lives and we have no idea where to credit the cause of those positive results. These MM120 statements will be just one of those instances.

Remember that when things are going well for you in your bodybuilding and training lifestyle—and you don’t feel like listening to the sound file anymore.

Stick with it—and turn yourself into a Mass Machine!

Train Hard—and Think BIG!

Don't Cut Out of All of the Carbohydrates From Your Diet Because Your Body Needs the RIGHT Ones at the RIGHT Time to Grow

By Skip La Cour
Six-Time National Champion Bodybuilder
Success Coach

Many Bodybuilders Don’t Eat the Carbohydrates Their Bodies Needs And Mistakenly Believe They Are Doing Themselves a Favor

This challenge happens when bodybuilders go overboard eliminating carbohydrates that will help the muscle-building process.

Here’s the challenge:

“I’m trying to lose body fat so I’m restricting my carbohydrates down to almost zero. The only problems is that I think I’m losing a lot of muscle”

Many bodybuilders who are trying to lose body fat choose to go on extremely low carbohydrate diets. Low-carbohydrate diets can help you shed body fat. There’s no doubt about it. They are effective because low-carb diets can create a deficit between the calories you eat versus the calories you burn every day. That’s the key to losing body weight.

Unfortunately, some of the weight you lose on a low-carbohydrate diet will include some of the muscle you’ve worked so hard to put on—and not only unwanted body fat. You may not be satisfied with how much muscle you need to sacrifice on your way to dumping your fat. You can improve your muscle loss to fat loss ratio simply by making a few minor adjustments to your nutritional habits.

In the past, I too was a big advocate of low-carbohydrate diets. They helped me get ripped--but they didn’t help me protect the muscle I had and you can forget about them helping me effectively build more muscle. A more efficient approach to dieting could have helped me get just as lean and assist in preserving and building muscle at the same time.

Drastically reducing the amount of carbohydrates you eat may not be as critical to losing body fat as you might think. In fact, eliminating carbohydrates at important times of the day may prevent you from putting on as much muscle as you are capable of packing-on.

Carbohydrates serve as an essential part in the muscle-building process. Instead of trying to eliminate carbohydrates altogether, you should make sure you are eating the right types of carbohydrates at the right times of day.

I never realized how important eating the right carbohydrates at the right times of the day was to my muscle-building and muscle-preserving efforts. However, I evolved into an “efficient” eater. I learned to eat the right foods at the right times.

Take Action and Do This NOW!

As I previously mentioned, when I started consuming high-glycemic carbohydrates before and immediately after my workouts, I began to build and preserve more muscle. I didn’t avoid the fat-burning glucose type of carbohydrates like I did in the past. “Sugary” or glucose types of carbohydrates are supposed to be bad for you as a bodybuilder, right? That’s what I’ve read. How about you?

Those high-glycemic, glucose carbohydrates were in my pre-workout and post-workout meals. Eating this type of carbohydrate at these times spiked my insulin levels and helped to force the much-needed protein I ate with them into the muscles.

When you are outside of a three-hour period of time outside your workouts, the you want to limit your carbohydrates to the ones that fall into the low glycemic index.

Vegetables are a great source of these types of carbohydrates. The great thing is that you can eat as much as you want. If I had anything close to resembling a “secret weapon” that I could offer in terms of nutritional practices, it would be to eat as many vegetables as humanly possible every day.

Besides providing an excellent, sustained source of energy, these fibrous carbohydrates allow me to eat a larger amount of food by volume than starchy carbohydrates (such as rice, pasta, potatoes, etc.) and do so with a fewer number of calories.

Eating vegetables gives me more "bang for my buck" so to speak. I can practically eat as many vegetables as I wish during a meal and easily stay within my allowed daily caloric intake. The ability to eat more food by volume is a huge mental benefit when I'm forced to restrict my daily calorie consumption in an effort to lose excess body fat. Just about all the calories in the vegetables you eat are negated by the work it takes your body to digest them. The opposite is true when eating starchy carbohydrates. A person must be very careful not to include too many calories in starchy carbohydrates in his or her diet—which is not hard to do.

Because of the low glycemic value in vegetables, my insulin levels are managed much more efficiently than when I eat starchy carbohydrates. That means fewer "up and downs" in my energy levels, fewer mood swings, and less chance for excess calories I may eat to be stored as unwanted body fat.

Eating vegetables also slows down the digestive process. Slowing down the digestive process will ensure that my body efficiently utilizes the precious protein I eat and depend on to repair and build muscle tissue.

I'll be the first one to admit that eating vegetables is not nearly as satisfying as eating a delicious bowl of rice or oatmeal. But after taking the time to wean myself off those starchy carbohydrates, I hardly notice the difference.

Although some people believe fresh vegetables are best for you, don't be afraid to take advantage of the convenience of frozen vegetables. There is only a slight difference in the nutritional values of frozen vegetables versus fresh ones. They are definitely easier to prepare and are relatively inexpensive. Busy people just don't have time to clean and cut fresh vegetables. Instead of excluding these important foods, just take them out of the freezer and put them into your food container before you leave for work. By the time of your mid-morning meal, they should be thawed. If you have access to a microwave, delicious hot veggies will be ready to eat in only a few minutes.
