The Mind in Bodybuilding eBook

The book about the half of bodybuilding nobody else writes about. Frank's starting point is that action follows thought and intention precedes movement, but that in most cases the choice we make is not a conscious one, it is a product of our conditioning. This book is about using your mind to consciously choose the body you actually wanted.

He builds it on holistic practice, using the whole of the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual means available to you, and argues that with consistent practice those elements transform the outward appearance of the body as well as your inner awareness.

It runs through dreaming the future body, mantras and how they work, building the dream body, visualising at the molecular level, cellular meditation, right speech, negative body metaphors and the common ones people use without noticing, transforming powerless speech, mantras to break unwanted habits, developing sensitivity and the power of now. Along the way there are parables, the eagle raised among chickens, the six creatures tied together, and a set of personal growth metaphors from a koan to a Scandinavian folk tale.
