Bodybuilder muscle jock success-in-progress
Posted: November 30th, 2012, 6:58 pmI just wanted to post some progress for any hopeful jocks out there so they know that they can do this, it just takes patience and hard work and hopefully an understanding 'tist.
I've been on this site and listening to files for years. At first I got frustrated because I didn't turn into a jock the first time I listened to TrainTotalJock, and even though I would go in and out of phases where I listened heavily to mp3s, I never really felt like it was working.
Over time, though, I listened to advice here, learned as much as I could about being a good subject, asked questions, worked with hypnosis as often and in as many ways as I could (text chat, mp3s, skype, in person, subliminals, etc, etc).
As time went by, I started having mini breakthroughs: I'd trance deeper with one guy, or I'd get a phrase caught in my head that I couldn't shake (oh MN_Friendlyguy, where are you? Your musclepig files will be in my head forever)). They were small breakthroughs, but they started building on each other.
I don't know how other kinds of files affect people, but once I heard a tist tell me that hypnosis and trance are just like bodybuilding: you just put one day after another into it, and slowly but surely you build your ability to trance. Just one day, layered over another, day by day you get better and better. Every little breakthrough joined all the other little breakthroughs, until one day I had a small pile of breakthroughs.
Just over a year ago, something clicked and I knew that I had to become a bodybuilder. I quit drinking, I made some other major changes, I started going to the gym regularly instead of in fits and starts. My body started to change. Last year I was shaped like a barrel: 50 inches around at chest, waist, and hips. Last week I measured and my chest is the same, about 51 inches, but my waist is 44-45 and my hips are at 42-43. I'm triangle-shaped.
I have a personal trainer now and my progress is accelerating. My arms are 16" but this timenext year I bet they'll be 18. The fat is falling away from my body. I get to the gym all the time and I work hard.
I've also worked with several hypnotists, mostly online, and have learned a lot even from the "bad" ones. I just finished a session with a great tist who looks like he's going to get me where I want to go. His induction must have taken only a few minutes, because I can go under quite fast now, and everytime I get a trance, I wake up feeling such a rush.
The funny thing is that I don't feel like a different person: I don't feel like I'm a hypno-addicted freak for muscle, even though I am one. It feels natural and and a part of me, and maybe that's why it took so long for me to start feeling like it sticks.
Bodybuilding and hypnosis are so much alike, and there's a lot to learn from both of my fetishes about life and determination. With both, there are people who are naturals and there are guys like me who maybe have to work a little harder. But with both, they reward practice and determination and consistency. I can see how the work I put in over the years is paying off now: that first, disappointing trance is still a part of me, and it laid the groundwork for the next trance, and the next. My first workout was shit, but it set the stage for the next workout.
Dudes, I am not kidding: in a couple of years' time, I'll be posting progress pics and not much else. I'll be devoted to muscle and my body will show it. Already my brain is wired differently than it was a few years ago, wired toward building muscle, wired so my priorities in life are about building muscle.
Anyone starting on this path, I wanna tell you, I don't care if it seems impossible now, or if you're disappointed in yourself or with hypnosis: you wanna be a muscle jock? Just keep working on it. You'll struggle and fail sometimes, but you'll eventually struggle and succeed. Every trance you let yourself fall into is one trance closer to your goals. Every single day that you work your body or train your mind is one more day closer to being what you need to become.
So, that's what I want to say.
But if anyone out there is in Toronto and wants to join me for a workout or two, or just to chat about hypnosis and muscle, I'm always looking for a workout buddy, just hit me up. :) :)
