Muscles
do not grow as you work them out. They grow while you
sleep. Therefore, sleep deprivation will cost you
valuable bodybuilding gains. Ensure a good night sleep
every night and avoid staying up late if you don’t need
to in order to keep cortisol levels low. Seven to
ideally eight hours of sleep each night will not only
keep you healthy and more energetic, but also will
ensure that bodybuilding gains keep on coming.

Focus
The
more you focus on what you're working to achieve, the
less distractions enter your awareness. Lift yourself
out of the state of mind that can't "see" success. Once
you begin to "see" success, you consider yourself
potentially better than the competition. Little by
little, you concentrate more and more, until you're
unaware of anything in your way. You see your way
clearly to victory and success.
Develop high self-esteem, motivation, and be consistent
in your training program. You must develop your mind to
the point that total concentration is merely a learned
response, one you never consciously think about anymore.
Apply this sort of laser focus rep-per-rep and
set-per-set in your workouts. Apply it in following your
daily-integrated training program. Just as success
begets success, imperfect practice makes your
performance imperfect.
