Dr. John A. King talks about giving your best effort, mental toughness, and sticking to diet and training. He emphasizes being content with the outcome once you've done the work, seemingly in the context of a judged competition or physical appearance goals.
Whatever else happens, whatever the judges decide, I'm gonna take it.
I suppose I just want to get to a stage where if I can say honestly, you know what, I gave this my best shot, I gave this my one shot, and really mean it, then I think whatever the outcome is, I'm gonna be content. I think that sense of, man, if I tried a little bit harder, if I stuck to the diet, if I— but then you're always gonna have those things turn up, aren't you? You're always gonna have those times where you fall over. You just gotta get up and go again. But even with that, if I can get that sense of, I'm here, I put it in, the work was solid, then I think that's when I can go, okay, I looked like I wanted to look and I did my best. Yeah.
And that's the mentality you gotta go with. I totally agree with you on that. Okay, that's great. I think that you have all the tools. Yeah. You know, you just gotta use them now. You know, I mean, you know, you have, like I told you, you have your mental toughness. You have, you know, you have time and, you know, it's just a matter of putting all those tools together and making something great, which is, you know, making your body look great. Yeah, that's awesome, man.
It'll be fun.
