Saturday night I had the opportunity to watch the 2010 Mr. Olympia competition live in Las Vegas. And as I’m sure you probably know by now, Jay Cutler took the title for the 4th time.<\/p>\n

\"Jay<\/p>\n

If you are a bodybuilding fan, I’d highly recommend attending the Mr. Olympia competition and expo at least once. It’s a totally different experience to check out the show and feel the energy live. You just can’t capture that stuff on video or in pictures.<\/p>\n

Every time I watch a bodybuilding show, be it a pro show or even a local amateur show, I’m always super motivated to kick my own training up to the next level.<\/p>\n

If you’ve ever watched a bodybuilding show live than I’m sure you know exactly what I mean. And if you’ve never attended one before, than you should make a point to go and watch a local bodybuilding competition in your area.<\/p>\n

One thing that’s very motivating about local bodybuilding shows<\/strong> is that you’ll see competitors from all levels and age brackets. Novices, experienced competitors, masters, etc. Chances are you’ll see someone who you can relate with and who inspires you with their dedication and progress.<\/p>\n

Seeing regular everyday folks taking action and making great progress is always a huge motivator. It makes the whole idea of building a ripped muscular physique seem more real & achievable<\/strong>. And if you think it’s real and achievable, than you are more likely to take action and make things happen for yourself.<\/p>\n

That’s basically how I got started on my own personal “muscle building journey”<\/em>. I started watching local bodybuilding competitions and learned from the guys who were building ripped muscular physiques in the “Real World”.<\/p>\n

If you’d like to get more information about competing in bodybuilding and actually see how these guys go about building lean, ripped, muscular stage ready bodies. Than I highly recommend that you pick up a copy of my book and DVD program “Your First Bodybuilding Competition”.<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a complete program that takes you step by step through the entire competition process, starting 6 months out and leading right up to the day of the show.<\/p>\n
