The Placebo Effect

[heregothere]

As many here can attest, adding muscle has a strong mental component. Arnold used to visualize himself getting bigger, and voila...he would add that 1/4 inch that he was striving for.

I just thought this was an interesting article for the community, a little something to get our minds off of this BALCO crap. I'm not suggesting that we try to deceive ourselves into making gains, but to remind us that this game can be won or lost in your head.

Good post and in my opinion very true. I've assisted fellow Bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts via hypnosis and use self-hypnosis / visualisation techniques myself.
