1. Give your full concentration to each exercise. Feel what the exercise does to your muscles as you move.
2. Good form is more important than the number of repetitions. Add more resistance as you get stronger, but never at the
expense of good exercise form.
3. After your workout stand in front of a mirror and check your body. Do a few poses. Make an honest assessment of your
progress.
4. Maintain a positive mental attitude at all times.
5. You must eat well and get adequate sleep when you are on a serious bodybuilding program. You need eight to nine hours of
sound, restful sleep every night. Mending and growth take place during these periods of rest. If for some reason you miss your
quota of sleep, take a half-hour to one-hour nap after you get home from work. This will refresh you, help you recuperate
more fully, and speed your progress. If  you want—build a great body, —if you want it badly enough and are willing to work for it with all your heartyou will.
