A few weeks ago we had fun talking about what we think about when we run. I figured it would be cool to do the same think with lifting.

I’ve identified 8.5 different “thinking types” – which one are you?

p.s. I’ll be reminding you tomorrow about Vince’s meal plans, but if you haven’t seen his program for building layers of muscle for skinny guys, check out No Nonsense Muscle Building .

The other day my ipod shuffle wasn’t working so I did my run in “silence”. The good news is that it didn’t affect my motivation or speed or anything. The bad news is that I figured out I’m a pretty weird guy…

You see, without my audio, my brain simply started thinking (I hear that’s what brain’s do when left to themselves).

And…

oh my God…

I’m insane.

I kept thinking the same things over and over. Literally.

I wrote last week about my trip to 24-Hr-Fitness. I focused on the equipment. But let me tell you about the people.

There were two types of people there, and unfortunately, very few of the “right” type.

What do I mean by “right type”? And which group would you fall in?

If you are in the USA, you don’t need me to tell you that the major media believes the sky is falling on our economy. While I personally don’t see it as that dire, you might indeed be experiencing some personal hardship right now. And even if you are doing great, you undoubtedly know someone who’s having a tough time.

So what does this have to do with fitness?

Everything.

You see, when people are threatened (in this case, economically threatened), they do some stupid things. Some self-damaging things. Some things that sometimes just make their problems worse.

And it’s no different when it comes to how fears of the economy impact fitness decisions. Here are the 8.5 biggest mistakes I see people making because of money fears when it comes to their fitness. Are you guilty of any of these?

About a week ago, I offered to our email subscribers an open Q&A session: “ask your questions and I’ll try to get them answered”. The asking is something we only offer the email list, but RSS subscribers can still see the answers. As usual we had tons of questions.

the questions were great! I had a ton of fun answering them!

No matter how bad you feel, you must put 100% into your workout. There’s so much science that shows how critical intensity is to building lean muscle. Don’t think you can do a half-way effort and get half the results.
