Most erotic and pleasurable experiences in our lives today incorporate some element of pain. Indeed, from ages and ages ago, it has been a curious human character, an unexplained phenomenon really, that human beings only appreciate pleasure if it's laced with a pinch of pain. In that are, most humans are alike. But it is in the exclusive sense of pain that people differ worlds apart. Some people dread the mention even of the word pain let alone to let alone to experience it. Pain is a horror for most people and a barrier towards gains in body building.
Although no human in the right frame of mind, except he or she be a masochist, likes pain. Pain is a bad experience especially when it is intense. Our old experiences of pain usually teach us to always avoid pain in all ways we can. In so saying, we are conditioned to avoid pain, run from it rather than to confront it or even work in and through it. We are conditioned to classify as 'no-no's' anything to do with pain despite the gains we might achieve at the end of the painful experience. Such is the attitude that has been projected even to the body building frontier.
Then in comes the modern media. The TV and the associates have perpetuated the fear of pain. They have even made effort by itself to seem like pain. And so we have begun classifying pain as effort or even the least discomfort. The products of such an age are the modern youths as we see them. They delight in instant gratification, dread the least discomfort, are addicts of automation and overemphasized pleasures. When these elements advance to the gates of a gym, they quickly wince away and label body building a sadist's game.
If you are therefore conditioned to free from pain, from intensive efforts, from discomfort and from exertion, then you are conditioned to be a failure in body building. Such a conditioning weakens the ability to be consistent, persistent and disciplined in the pursuit of any objective. When it comes to a difficult task, the mind even refuses to think about the possibility of your participation. Body building is a field exclusive to the bold, the daring, the disciplined, the persistent and the enduring souls. Body building is a field of prolonged effort and consistent overcoming of barriers that limit achievement. Building the body is harder than building any other physical structure. Body building is neither a picnic nor a pleasure trip. It's a gain through pain specialist field.
This explains why so few of us are champion body builders. That explains why so few of us last past the first few months in the gym. The reason why we are losers in the prestigious field, is because we are conditioned to fail, long before we enter the gym. We are whiners, big babies who cry at the thought of pain even before experiencing it. We are escapists who would rather there was a button we could touch in the body to amplify muscle definition and mass without lifting a barbell. We are plain lazy, cowardice losers.
But the body builders are separated. They appreciate the cost of looking supreme. They understand and are willing to commit the full price of a muscled body. They work despite and through the relatively marginal pains of body building, and not in the absence of.
