A quote up the same avenue, that I once (or twice) heard from a very wise man:
"The only opponent is within!" |

Arnie has some great insights. I always found lessons learnt in the gym could be applied to most other aspects of life.
From 100% focus on the moment at hand to progress in small steps to eventually reaching a goal and that it's the challenge and pushing against resistance is what makes us grow -------------------- My SoundCloud

Great thoughts Ben! I'll have to get the book and read it! I already read the Little Choochoo that could, so this will be the next stage in my mental growth! Thanks!

I'm discovering an Arnold's side that I didn't know! I love this ideology so I¡m now checking his books at wiki.

QUOTE (Gitarrero @ Apr 13 2012, 07:49 AM)  Wow, you've heard this from a wise man? I've only heard it from Ben up until now...  *5000 push-ups later* Sorry Sensei... It's a great quote and sums up what Arnie says in the book (which I also read and can recommend to anyone) and in the video. IMO he is one of the most underrated persons ever, so many people think he is just a stupid bodybuilder and actor (and politician), but if I am not mistaken he was one of the first athletes to focus on mental training and mindset. you want to talk about mind set...check out Frank Zane. Him and Arnold worked out together. The guy didn't have the size, but he was shredded, and was Mr.Olympia. He was the first to win at lower weight. Frank Zane is all about mind set. Also check out Bruce Lee. His principles are applicable even with guitar. The Tao of Jeet Kune do. Take what is essential, and discard the rest. No way, is way. basically he was against traditional methods of martial arts because they were steeped in customs, not in effective. People practicing moves for 1000 of years, and didn't know why... Any ways mind set is key. once you have made up your mind you will play guitar, and get better. You will know. -------------------- Keep on playing!

QUOTE (Ben Higgins @ Apr 14 2012, 04:27 AM) Yeah, in fact Arnold lost against him went he went for his (second) Mr Olypmia title in the States I think ? Absolutely, we're very fond or Mr Lee's philosophies ! I totally encourage people to apply that to the guitar.. learn what you want and what you need to play what you want. Don't learn something just because you think you have to. Actually Frank Zane won 3 Olympias! but my main point for mentioning him, he is really into meditation, creative visualization. Creative Visualization probably deserves its own thread, but you can practice guitar by visualizing yourself practicing,the more you put into the visualization (sight, feel, smell, taste) strengthens it. I will write more about this later. Need my sleep. -------------------- Keep on playing!
