Chances are if you workout in a health club or a gym in your community you’ve seen them, in the weight room, most likely grunting very loudly, banging weights and doing bicep curls (do the curls to get the girls right!?) while occasionally walking over to the mirror to “flex their guns”. In case you’re wondering I am referring to your gyms D.M.H (Designated Meat-Head).

These are usually the guys who come every single day and do 15 different exercises isolating one muscle group (usually on the upper body) in hopes of getting “diesel!” or “brollick!” looking (that’s meat-head for big and buff). Personally I feel that these individuals are far from “fit” and in the long run are ruining their joints and destroying their livers ( from pumping themselves full of supplements…..but that’s a topic for another post). However I think that most people who are looking to get in great shape by possibly losing weight, toning up and getting stronger can learn a valuable lesson from these guys.

The lesson you could learn is a lesson on DETERMINATION AND MOTIVATION. Seriously, if you think about it these “meat-heads” are the few people in the gym that are actually even reaching their goals. They want big arms, chests and back so they go to the gym everyday doing bench presses, pull-ups and bicep curls, and a few months later they have bigger guns, chests and backs.

Another great thing that you can follow their lead on is the fact that once they get to this desired physique of theirs they don’t stop! They keep working out to maintain their physique. Some even take it up a notch by setting new goals to get even bigger and buffer than before. So how does this translate to you for fat loss?

You too can reach your fitness goals and personal fat loss……you just have to follow the meat-heads example buy:

- Putting in the hard work and effort both in the gym (this means following a well planned and well designed workout routine……..a topic for future blog posts) and out of the gym (that means eating a low calorie, well balanced and nutritious diet……..another topic for future blog posts)
- Being relentless (this means constantly striving towards your goal and not giving up)
- Constantly reaching your goals and either maintaining the end result by living a healthy lifestyle or setting new goals to constantly better yourself.

I know you can do it and I am absolutely dedicated to helping you reach these goals. I am always interested in your input and what you have to say so feel free to leave me a comment. And of course don’t be shy to shoot me a question on my website.

Dedicated to your personal health and fitness,
