Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The benefits of exercise go far beyond physiological and psychological improvements. Achieving your fitness goals can fundamentally change you as a person, and it can help you overcome your fears and weaknesses.

#2

We are creatures of habit, and we all have deeply ingrained daily patterns of behavior. These habits are useful, but they can also be destructive. They cut both ways. Thinking dim thoughts does not make things happen.

#3

The first benefit of staying fit is that it teaches you habit mastery. It takes patience to establish new habits, but once you do, they become automatic and feel just as natural as the old ones.

#4

Effort is the key to success. It takes hard work and dedication to achieve anything of value, whether it’s a good family, a good career, or a good social life.

#5

The process of arriving at a goal is what makes the achievement worth it. When you stop expecting instant gratification and instead embrace the process, you’ll find yourself in a calm, confident rhythm. You’ll stop caring about what you’ve achieved and instead long to start on something new.

#6

When you work out regularly, you learn to tune out the voices that tell you that you’re not capable of doing something. You learn to believe in yourself and your ability to make things happen.

#7

We should train for more than just looking and feeling better. We should use our training to harness the power of habit, to maintain a high willingness to exert effort, to stay mentally and physically tough, and to remind us of the importance of patience and consistency.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

Your fitness goals should evolve as you gain more muscle and strength. You should focus on three specific, finer points of bodybuilding and weightlifting: improving the proportions and overall aesthetics of your physique, improving your strength one rep at a time, and staying healthy.

#2

Aesthetics is the second goal of the Internet fitness crowd: visual attractiveness. Symmetry and proportions are important, as are small changes in a physique that can make a big difference visually.

#3

The final goal of the Beyond Bigger Leaner Stronger program is to stay healthy. You won’t be adding weight on a set schedule, but you will follow your body’s lead and increase weight as you get stronger in your workouts.

#4

The risks of weightlifting are not unique to the experienced lifter. The middle years of your training can be quite discouraging if you don’t know what you’re doing. You can spend hours and hours in the gym every week, eat clean, and get nowhere. This can lead to frustration and eventually desperation, and steroids may seem like the only way out.
Insights from Chapter 3

#1

Aesthetic physique means having a body that just looks good. It’s attainable, and it doesn’t depend on genetics. It requires a deeper understanding of what creates that look and what you need to do with your body to get there.

#2

The divine proportion or Golden Ratio is the idea that two quantities are in the Golden Ratio if the ratio of the sum of the quantities to the larger quantity is equal to the ratio of the larger quantity to the smaller one. It has been found in the arrangement of branches along the stems of plants, in the veins of leaves, in the skeletons of animals, and in the composition of chemical compounds and crystals.
