On one hand, they allow you to learn the fundamentals of body transformation, but on the other hand, they leave you high and dry...you'll have a ton of motivation in the beginning of the 12 week program and then lose all of it by the end. It's not exactly a great way to parlay your progress over into your everyday regular life. If you really want to achieve lasting muscle building or fat loss results, then you're better of just shelling out a few bucks for a system like yours that can teach you how to live a healthy lifestyle year round!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('8753','Gain Muscle Mass With Nick'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('8753','Gain Muscle Mass With Nick','I agree 100% that 12 week body transformation contests can be a double edged sword.

Photoshop your head on the dream body you want. then look at it everyday and talk out loud about each body part that you have right now starting with I HAVE LARGE BICEPS, I HAVE A SMALL WAIST AND RIPPED ABS, etc. Then visualize yourself as the person in that dream body. It makes it easier that you Photoshop-ed your head on that body because you then program your sub conscience mind to build that body. You can also visualize yourself having fun working out or lifting heavier weight to bust through plateaus. I use all of these methods and it has worked every time. You have to also feel what it will feel like to have the body of your dreams, such as, feeling confident and happy about your achievements. This is critical that you feel it. If you do not do this, you will only reach 50% of your goals. All of the professionals do this trick and it works every time. There are certain universal laws we live by on this planet and the law of attraction is a big one. Say you have something right now, feel it, then take action towards it and the law will take care of the rest...period. ;-)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('8752','Sean'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('8752','Sean','Yes, another way to lose unwanted bodyfat or build the body you want is the \"dream body\" trick.

I competed in several transformation contests in the past and had limited results even though I was training hard and eating right (or at least I thought I was.) I began studying a lot about the mind from various perspectives both scientific and philosophical. The more I learned the more I realized that any negative and limiting beliefs you may have could hold you back from making the transformation you truly desire. Now that I've been focusing on reprogramming my mind, studying and learning, and having the right focus I've been seen a lot better results by far. I've also been talking a lot about this very subject on my blog and how to harness the power of your subconscious mind. Have a great week!
