Imagine that!
Studies have shown that by "training in your imagination" you can actually increase strength and performance, thus increasing muscle mass, fat loss, and strength gain. While there appears to be only slight increases in the previously mentioned results, it does look to be promising in terms of getting your mind ready to complete the task at hand. Personally, I think we'd all do ourselves a bit of good by taking a few moments to look inside of ourselves and focus before doing any kind of lifting... Visualization is a very key, yet often overlooked, factor in training, hell, in life!
Before any kinds of lifting, I always have my clients visualize the lift before it happens. Establishes inner confidence, which exudes outward.
Who would've thought? Maybe there is something to the saying "Think your way thin."
