I love bodybuilding as much as anybody—I love the pump—the all-out effort it takes to get that one-last-rep—basically I love bodybuilding.

But.

One thing I do not believe I have ever seen talked about in any magazine or online forum is training for the mind.

I am not talking about mental rehearses of workouts.

What I am talking about is making sure you are well rounded outside of the gym.

Sounds kind of strange, however, it really isn’t.

I know myself; I am always flipping through a muscle magazine or reading a book about bodybuilding.

But what about other topics—I love reading about the Amazon rain forest, for example.

And, I will be totally honest, I check out tons of material, I do not always finish every book that I start—but I like to read and do not mind looking at a vast array of material.

Sure I am partial to books on bodybuilding, training or nutrition—but I realize that there is more to life than a steady diet of bodybuilding magazines.

CONCLUSION

Bodybuilding is more than just a hobby to me—it is a lifestyle—but I realize that I need to keep my brain sharp by reading about a wide variety of topics.

So the next time you are out-and-about, stop in at your local library and take a look around—you may not find something that you like as much as bodybuilding—

But you never know.

Until Next Time

KEEP YOUR MIND SHARP
