I go to
the gym 4 times per week and I try to complete a full
intense workout in the minimum time possible. I don't have
much time so each time a have a workout I need to enhance my
sets so that I can pass the pain barrier and always do one
or two more reps (even when my body says; "no!". My mind
has been programmed to push out my maximum which ensures
progressive gains in strength and size. After listening to
my self-hypnosis audios I managed 180kg bench press. (with a
bodyweight of 84kg) (one rep) It was bad style but made me
feel quite proud. A month
later I entered a powerlifting competition in South Wales.
It was my first time in this type of competition because I
was more interested in bodybuilding, but I entered for fun.
I lifted 155kg on bench press with perfect style (I had to
wait for the ref's clap, touch the chest, and push a clean
lift without arching the lower back. I won a silver medal.
Hundreds
of bodybuilders have used hypnosis for gains and strength
because it is very effective. Your mind is your only
barrier, so it makes sense to remove the mental obstacles,
and start training seriously. 50 years later I still use my
self-hypnosis audios, but I hate being too sore the next
day, every day for years. It gets annoying, but saunas
help.

Advantages
of self-hypnosis: This
for many is difficult to believe, but the mind is very
powerful, a good example is when we are confronted with a
frightening experience such as a facing a dangerous bear,
we produce large amounts of hormones such as adrenaline
(also useful for training) If you think about eating a
lemon you probably start to produce saliva.
Endocrinologists know that stress can release human
growth hormone, along with extreme heat or cold and
various amino acids and chemicals. What
happens to the muscles of a bodybuilder when he takes
Testosterone or Growth-Hormone...... he grows big! The
message to produce more testosterone and growth hormone
comes from the brain (pituitary gland) Taking artificial
hormones is dangerous and unhealthy so the safest way is
to produce more of your own natural hormones.......no
more yoyo rebounds, and no more side effects. There are
many ways to increase hormone production eg. certain
foods, amino acids, sport, and hypnosis. The natural
bodybuilding progams have been designed to include
bodybuilding diets, bodybuilding training and
bodybuilding workouts.
Many
bodybuilders use hypnosis to train harder and grow
bigger, to name just a few: Lee Haney, Tony Quinne, Tom
Platz, Victor Martinez, Mike Christian, Boyer Coe,
Andreas Cahling, Dorian Yates, Lee Priest, Dave Draper,
Boyer Coe, Cory Everson, etc.
