How to Build a Habit
“Motivation is what gets you started.
Habit is what keeps you going.”
- Jim Rohn
Jim Rohn hit the nail on the head with his quote. Your HABITS are what differentiates you from the rest of the world. It’s what makes you an individual. Good habits make you successful and bad habits make you a loser. This goes for every area of your life, especially getting in shape.
The three main components of bodybuilding, around which you build your habits, are:
Diet
Training
Supplements
If you look on our website you will find huge amounts of info on diet, training and supplementation. In this article, however, I’d rather discuss how to build a habit and the importance of habits.
Set your habits into the right direction and your life will follow
How Do You Build a Habit?
- It starts off with what you want. Be it a body, money or whatever, it’s the idea that will get you started. Just like the quote at the top says: “Motivation is what gets you started”. In our case that would be a Hollywood/Men’s Health body. You will imagine how it feels to look that way and hey presto, your motivation has just been formed.
- What will your habits be? For example, you have to decide how soon you want a great body, which directly influences how frequently you go to the gym (3 to 7 times a week if you want to get this handled within 3 to 6 months). You may be a little shocked by this, but you have to accept it. If you can’t accept that and expect immediate results you won’t get anywhere. You need to do things for quite a long time to get significant results. This goes for anything, not just bodybuilding.
- After that, you need to follow through, regardless of the results (SUPER IMPORTANT). This is what a habit is. The difference between a champion and a loser is what their habits are. Period. It’s not very complicated but it’s still not easy. Don’t get upset along the way or get distracted. It doesn’t matter whether or not you ate, for example. All you need to do is show up.
- Choose who you can trust. If they speak common sense that you can implement in your life then follow them and cut out every other distraction (especially silly marketing).
If you focus on the process you created in the second step nothing can stop you! They say it takes 21 days to develop a habit, I’m not sure if you can put an exact time frame on it, but all that matters is that you develop your habits as quickly as possible.
Why Are Habits Important?
As I mentioned before, habits will either make or break you as a man. It really is the thing you need to master if you want to rise to the top. If your habit is smoking and drinking guess what will happen to you? Yes, you’re gonna die sooner.
Let’s say you develop the habit of eating fruit every day. You will feel better, be healthier and live longer. If you develop the habit of working out 4 times a week for 6 months using mind muscle connection, will you get the muscle you want? Hell yeah! You just need to do it and put it into your daily routine.
Once you develop a habit, it’s part of your LIFE, a part of who you are. Of course, you won’t make it to the gym sometimes and here’s where it gets interesting. Once you have built a habit successfully and you miss the gym one time, for example, you’ll feel bad. Normal people think “ah well I didn’t make it today, no worries, it’ll be good recovery time”. But that won’t be true for you – it will actually feel as if you missed out on life for a bit. Whenever I miss a workout I feel a bit bad about it and I’m not in a good mood. That tells me it’s become part of my life – I’ve successfully built a habit.
You have the choice to ‘custom-build’ your body, wealth, spirituality, relationships and business. These components of life are (and will continue to be) a product of your habits. Decide what you want these components to look like and decide what habits you need to develop in order to get there.

How to Recover from BODYBUILDING
In one particular place inside my lifestyle My spouse and i imagined that will resistance training would likely manage anything. My spouse and i imagined i would likely have a employment as being a fitness trainer and thus find our budget managed.
We believed I'd type excellent relationships along with other bodybuilders.
I thought I would get hot girls on their knees begging to fulfil my wildest dreams.
I thought no one would disrespect a muscular man like me.
I believed the shit that the bodybuilding industry had sold me on. Look at most supplements and newsletters, it seems as if just by doing their workouts your wiener will grow by three inches.
It sounds like common sense that lifting weights will not get you all this stuff, however me personally and LOTS OF PEOPLE I know have done just that. I also keep meeting more and more people who think this way.
I call it “BIG-ing” your way through life. My Mentor John Barban “invented” this term, our stories are similar. Both of us were in a relationship with a girl, both our relationships ended tragically. We also thought that our wall of muscle will get us through everything.
Both of us ended up figuring out that there is more to life than lifting which SMASHED ourcastle of glass to pieces.
If you only chill with bodybuilders, all that you will talk about is bodybuilding. Sounds cool at the beginning, but after preparing meals all day long and workouts that take hours and hours at a time, talking about it gets bland.
I also got made fun of a lot if I ever spent time going out. People don’t understand your chicken breast Tupper ware and it’s not even necessary! All that you will have on your mind is bodybuilding as well. So socializing is out of the equation.
The shallow girls you will attract will only want you for one thing, which is awesome! However, if you don’t work on your relationships you will never have any, no matter how big your guns are.
Lifting has great benefits! But it’s not a mean to every end.
After sitting on my couch with my shirt off for a few months looking all ripped and yoked up with no friends, no girls and a lame life. I decided that it can’t go on like this. I also promised myself not to lose my hard earned gains in the process.
I thought to myself “There MUST BE a Way!”
So what did I do differently from then on?
I will give you a few points in a nutshell, if you are interested in hearing more about certain points you could comment on Facebook on what you wanna hear 
- Women: In order to meet a lot of women and date them, guess what you have to do.
TALK to women! I see guys at clubs/bars all ripped, rich and confident but ya ain’t getting any by standing in a corner waiting for something to happen. So how do you do it? Go up and say “Hey what’s up my name is…, how was your day?” Simple as that! Women dress up fine at night, do you think they do this NOT to be noticed and talked to?
- Friends: In all honesty, I ditched most of my friends. They were all talking shit and I couldn’t take it anymore. Now instead of “hanging out” with people all I do is invite positive people to certain activities that I would have done on my own anyways. Either lifting weights with them, go out and talk to girls or 2 weeks ago I went bungee jumping on Europe’s highest place with an old friend which was pretty epic.
Sometimes I will do normal people stuff like eating lunch etc. If these people positive and work on themselves. But 90% of people are quite frankly pricks who talk down on YOU and waste your time. Sounds harsh but unfortunately it’s true.
- I can’t give you a lot of advice on business and school, however I can tell you that:
Once you removed your foot of the break (meaning stop spending time with pricks) you will have time to put your foot on the gas (meaning finally having time that you would have otherwise spent with pricks). You can use the time you gained to lift weights, make cash, travel and all this cool stuff! Therefore “No Time = No Problem”
- Another huge time waster bodybuilders have is the good ol’ rice, broccoli and chicken 6 times a day mantra. Well, I urge you to read ALL our diet info, because eating 6 times a day improves your life just as much as bathing in horse excrements.
Just as much as business doesn’t give you a yoked body, lifting weights won’t get you a good business. Do the things you have to do, to get the things you want to get. The principles you learn in weight lifting will help you tremendously.
