RULE #13
Get rid of negativity
15.31 A mind occupied with negative thoughts will limit your progress. Be aware
of your thoughts, both while training and not training. Do not allow negative
thoughts to dwell in your mind. Set them aside as soon as they appear.
A period of practice will be needed before you can control your thoughts
and get rid of negativity.
B 59
If you are gaining in some body parts or exercises, but not in others,
there are at least two explanations. First, you may have more
potential in some areas than others. Second, and perhaps more
likely, you are overtraining the stagnated areas. Discover what
you are doing in the successful areas that you are not doing in the
others, and apply the successful strategies elsewhere. For example,
perhaps you are making good progress deadlifting just once a week,
for 3 sets of 6–8 reps, but are getting nowhere with your biceps by
barbell curling three times a week for 3 sets of 8 reps followed by 2
sets of 6 reps of alternate dumbbell curls. ere are lessons there.
