How to become very strong in 1 day. What is crossfit

I don’t know about you, but I am completely convinced that the phrase “The best man wins” will be relevant at all times. Only if previously everything came down to physical characteristics, then modern reality forces a person to improve on all fronts. Therefore, it is not surprising that people began to think more often about how to become stronger. Of course, we are talking about the context of the whole life...

First of all, you need to set yourself up for positive success. It is not enough to just think: “I want to become stronger.” You need to firmly and confidently say: “I will become stronger” and put as much emotion into this phrase as your heart is capable of. This kind of setup, despite its absurdity, allows you to achieve good results. Try it, just don't be a hack.

So, for those who want to know how to become a strong person, I have prepared 17 tips that can bring amazing results. They make up only a small fraction of the entire journey, but do you remember where the journey of a thousand miles begins? You can apply them all at once, or one at a time. You can implement one thing every month or every week. You can completely score. Remember that everything depends on your choice.

1. Form your view of things.

It is very important to learn to formulate your own thoughts on any issue. In our century, people themselves become slaves to other people's opinions, so it is very difficult to maintain individuality of thinking. I brought this point to the first place precisely because of its complexity. Learn to get rid of other people's opinions and form your own objective judgment. Perhaps the post “How to Find Freedom” will help you.

2. Do physical exercise.

It is also important to know how to become physically stronger. For real strong man strong not only in spirit and mind, but also in body. Therefore, it is very important to monitor your physical norm. You don't have to sign up for a gym. You can start running or doing morning exercises. Usually this is enough. If you want something more exciting, you can try some sports. I bet you'll like it.

3. Set goals.

It's important to know where you're going. The best guide is a dream or goal. But if a dream is something vague, then a goal is a real finishing line that can be torn off. In fact, setting and achieving goals brings unprecedented personal growth.

4. Survive falls.

Failure is the best mentor. Believe me, nothing brings as much life experience as falling. Only by experiencing real difficulties can we become stronger. Therefore, there is no need to be afraid of failures, just do what you set out to do. You can never truly taste success if it comes too easily. Treat falls like a good teacher who is genuinely interested in your knowledge.

5. Love yourself.

It is important to understand one thing - you have incredible potential hidden within you, thanks to which you can achieve anything you want. It doesn’t matter how grandiose your plans are. If you can truly love yourself, then no obstacles will prevent you from achieving your results.

6. Read more.

Did you know that our brain perceives information projected in the imagination as real? But, unlike animals, we are able to independently control the flow of our thoughts. This way we can lose many difficult situations that may arise in the future. Books are a real treasure trove of such situations. We literally play every scene live and draw the necessary conclusions. It's not for nothing that all successful people read a lot.

7. Learn to lose.

It is important to understand that you are responsible for your life. It doesn’t matter who exactly is to blame for the current situation. If this has somehow affected your life, YOU ARE TO BLAME. If a girl leaves you, don’t complain about her, but look for the reason in yourself. If you were fired from your job, don’t insult your boss, but become a better person. The only way.

8. Finally, start learning for real.

Education is actually a very useful thing. Many underestimate it, citing as an argument phrases like: “I will never need this.” Yes, we never use most of the knowledge we acquire at school or university, but it helps us develop. For example, geometry develops very well logical thinking and can teach you how to correctly justify your answer. By getting to know different areas of philosophy, we can find answers to some questions in the future.

9. Give free rein to your imagination.

In the most ordinary things, you can achieve unusual results if you use your imagination. Try doing everything with your left hand the next time you have to clean the house. It will turn out quite funny, and you will probably remember this cleaning for a long time. But fantasy can also be used in other situations, for example, you can learn a passage or formula and do push-ups at the same time. Oh yes, I already wrote about this in the material “How to develop memory.” Fantasy can open up unprecedented boundaries for you and find ways even in the most difficult situations.

10. Find something you love to do.

Nothing gives such a powerful impetus to action as doing something you love. These could be some true goals or just a hobby. Such activities will give you strength and make your heart beat joyfully in anticipation of future activities. It is much better if your favorite activity is your life goal. Together, such actions will not only make you stronger, but will bring real greatness.

11. Learn to say no.

And we are not just talking about some requests. It is very important to learn to focus on one thing, discarding all external factors. If you look at all the things you did today, you will probably notice that most of them do not have any practical benefit. They just destroy you. Give them up in favor of truly important things!

12. Give up unnecessary connections.

We often surround ourselves with people who negatively influence us. We feel awkward around them and want to leave the company as soon as possible. Or maybe we're just annoyed by their endless whining and complaining. Remember what they say: “Tell me who your friend is and I will tell you who you are.” We often adopt our behavior from those around us, so it won’t be surprising if you soon start complaining too. Surround yourself with people you truly enjoy spending time with and you will immediately notice the difference.

13. Start realizing your dreams.

You can become a truly strong person when you realize your dreams and help realize the dreams of others. Every day, devote at least five minutes to getting closer to your desires and then success is guaranteed to you.

14. Throw away all negativity.

This does not mean that you need to put on rose-colored glasses and rejoice at every leaf (although this option will also work). You just need to treat the world not as a firing line, but as a sea of ​​opportunities that you can realize. If you constantly think about the negative, then sooner or later depression will begin to strangle you with its huge hands. Believe in a positive result and it will definitely come.

15. Ask for forgiveness.

Have you ever had situations that you still regret and constantly remember? Perhaps this is one of the effective ways to become stronger spiritually. Ask for forgiveness from everyone you've ever bullied. Especially if your conscience constantly reminds you of these cases. In this day and age, it is very rare to hear a sincere “Sorry,” so you can become a role model for other people.

16. Get rid of all debt.

You can't continue to grow stronger if you're saddled with debt. It's like ballast, constantly dragging you to the bottom. First, deal with your financial debts. Then follow through on all your promises. Only if nothing is holding you back can you move forward truly quickly.

17. Help others.

Just like that, without any hidden intentions. You can sign up to volunteer or help your neighbor-grandmother lift bags of groceries. You can even do something more: plant trees or organize a holiday. Such actions fill our lives with meaning and completely kill bad character traits.

The article could be supplemented with a bunch more points, but I decided to focus on these 17. If you have anything to add or ask, write in the comments.

- Our theme is the power of the human spirit. In your line of work, you deal with people who have to be strong because weak person will not be able to win the competition. Can you first define what a spiritually strong person is?

I would divide all strong people into simply strong and spiritually strong. Strong people a lot of. For example, in sports. It's interesting to look at sports from this side. Any sport highest achievements- this is not a sport for weak people. Because a person needs to learn to endure. To endure the stress of training, to endure a coach who sometimes insults you, to endure a life system to which you need to give yourself completely every day, to endure some kind of adversity, financial in particular. You are training, and your neighbors, comrades or friends are already successful in business, have good incomes, but after training you do not have the strength to go and do anything else. There is only time left to recover next training session. And so on from year to year. I believe that these people are courageous and purposeful, they have the will, they have patience, they can achieve great heights.

But these are not always spiritual people. Not all of them are morally stable. They may not know how to act in some difficult situations. In situations where they are faced with brute force, where some kind of aggression is shown against them, everything is clear. But what should you do if the aggression is directed against other people or some other unusual situation has occurred that does not directly concern you? They don't have ready-made solutions here.

- What do you mean by a spiritually strong person?

In my understanding, a spiritually strong person is a person who has an inner core - the will and readiness to sacrifice himself for the sake of his neighbor. I think this is the most important thing. When they say that a strong person is one who is not afraid of anything, I will never believe it. A man who is not afraid of anything is crazy. We have an instinct for self-preservation, given by God, and with the help of this instinct we survive, we understand, evaluate the situation, sometimes we don’t get into trouble, sometimes we take risks, but the instinct still works. That is, fear should always be in us.

- They say that a brave person is not one who is not afraid, but one who knows how to act despite fear.

Right. Let's say a situation arises when a person needs to make a decision for himself - to run away or sacrifice himself for the sake of loved ones. Two people make different decisions in this situation. One ran away, the other sacrificed himself. One remained intact, and the other was crippled, and, perhaps, also forced to deal with problems with the law.

Who did the right thing? We consider one of them a coward, the one who ran away. The other is a brave person. But they were both afraid. The ability to own and manage fear is very important.

Our soldiers who are fighting now and fought in our previous wars, which led our people to victories, for the most part were brave and strong-willed people. The person may not have known that he had such a core, he had simply not been in such a stressful situation before, but now it came, and he made a decision.

I also noticed this thing: the same person accepts in seemingly similar situations, in different time different solutions. Let’s say that one time he ran away, the next time this “coward” will defend himself and make very difficult decisions.

And he will be a brave man. Imagine, everything can change! Each of us can do brave things. Every. There are no weak people. There is a process of upbringing, of the environment around you, which either weakens you or lifts you up. But in each of us there is, in my opinion, a predisposition to great deeds. Some people need to stress less, others need to work on themselves more, but they too can become strong and courageous.

- Is self-sacrifice an innate human quality? Or, perhaps, there is a certain worldview, having accepted which, a person is more willing to undertake heroic deeds and sacrifice himself for the sake of others?

I repeat - each of us has it. How there is a soul in a person. The question is in upbringing, in the environment in which a person grew up - this is the first thing. The second is what environment he is in now. But the main thing is a person’s spiritual values, the principles by which he lives. I believe that it is natural for an Orthodox person to be courageous, because he has such protection that no one else has. He loves his homeland and his family, and knows that no matter what suffering awaits him, if he does everything according to his conscience, he will receive the treasure that we all strive for. The meaning is in our justification before our Creator and in a meal with Him, for the sake of this we can sacrifice anything. Now, if a person understands this, then everything else becomes miserable and insignificant... We must train ourselves. Just as we train our bodies, so must we train our souls, so that we always remember where we strive, where we are going.

Once I was in a nunnery. It was late and I was taken to the kitchen. It was the Borisoglebsky Anosinsky Monastery, not far from Moscow, Pavlovskaya Sloboda. An elderly nun, about sixty years old, sat me down at the table in the kitchen. I’m sitting, waiting for dinner, she’s working at the stove, she’s cooking something in a large saucepan. And suddenly she turns sharply to me and asks so demandingly: “Why do you live so shamelessly, why don’t you value your precious soul so much?”

I was dumbfounded. I asked the question: “What makes you think that we live so carelessly?” She says: “Look at the pan!” And opens the lid. Steam is coming from the pan. She tells me: "Look at the steam!" I looked, and she closed the lid on the pan and said: “Count how long you saw this steam.” I said: “Well, two seconds.”

She answers: “People exchange their spiritual life, the Kingdom of Heaven, for worldly life, and worldly life compared to eternity is this vapor, just two seconds. And you, in a moment that costs nothing, invest everything, give your time. And you exchange preparation for the future life for this emptiness. Well, how long will you live? A hundred years. This steam in two seconds is like a hundred years compared to eternity.”

Why did you remember? Because our whole life is vanity, a cockroach race. Each of us is called for something. The Lord will one day call each of us and ask. What have we done in life? What have we done that could justify us? It's getting scary.

In addition to extreme events, there are situations that happen to us every day, and we either run away from them, or accept spiritual battle, make some sacrifices. Most often, this concerns relationships with people. We are not currently involved in military battles, but there is spiritual warfare. Someone insulted us, and in response we begin to fight with this person. And perhaps we will even “win”, thinking that this will demonstrate our willpower. But in fact, we are weak - weak against criticism, we have no humility. I say this about myself in particular. Then you come to your senses and realize: “What have I done? What benefit have I brought to my soul today? No. I lost it, I lost money today.”

And we will be able to deal with little things successfully, and even in dangerous cases, when we are dealing with obvious aggression, we will emerge victorious if we look at things soberly and avoid brain paralysis.

I would say this: most people are not ready to make themselves strong on their own; they need mentors, unfortunately. That is, you need people who could force you to do what you don’t want. But in order for this to happen, you must consciously come and put yourself in their hands.

For example, an athlete is training in martial arts. What do we do in training? We prepare a person to think, reason, and make calm decisions, despite the fact that he is scared. The probability of getting injured is high, the fear of an opponent, especially a famous, titled one, whom you know well, is also high. Whoever can suppress such elemental fear will increase the likelihood that he will conduct his fight with dignity and with a minimum number of injuries. Whether he wins or loses is another matter.

- If a person does not have a healthy spiritual foundation, how can you help him overcome this fear?

You can win competitions with pride. But if the trainer has spiritual roots, I mean, first of all, if the person is Orthodox, such a trainer educates warriors in humility.

- That is, two fighters can fight: one uses pride, the other uses humility. And what are the chances for each of them?

Both can be equally strong. Maybe the proud one is stronger. When the fight starts, they will soon both be in a borderline state, if we talk about our sport, where the fight goes on at a very high pace. Within a few minutes, people quickly get tired, lactic acid accumulates in them, their blood pressure drops, a lack of oxygen begins, as a result they become lethargic, dizzy, and almost lose consciousness. In this state, the one who has the highest strength of spirit and will wins. And, as a rule, the strength and will of a proud person turns out to be lower than that of a person who treats everything with faith.

I noticed that Orthodox warriors do not want to mutilate their opponents and show off in front of the public, they are different. They go out, I would say, to some extent test their will. They do not try to destroy their enemy. The same cannot be said about the proud man. On the contrary, he tries to inflict the maximum amount of injury, and gets pleasure from it. Can you imagine? Moreover, if he succeeds in fulfilling his plans, then he hears the exclamations of his colleagues shouting: “Finish him off! Break!".

Is it possible to say this to an Orthodox person? No. To the Orthodox you are talking about something else. And when the Orthodox come out, they pray and ask for God’s help. And so that this fight would benefit them. If he loses, he leaves humbly. He does not have such deep disappointment as the proud one.

There are many nuances, although it is impossible to say that all proud, non-spiritual people are weak. There are also strong ones.

- What can you say to that person who wants to become spiritually strong? I heard advice in your words: somehow think about eternity, the spiritual basis of your existence. Moreover, this may not necessarily be Orthodox spirituality; any religiosity or spiritual understanding of life helps to one degree or another?

Yes, I think this applies to everyone. People have different religions. Some people don’t believe in anything at all, they believe in a person, in themselves, but this is funny. However, there is something of the Creator in each of us. And the Lord gave this something to each of us in equal quantities. I mean the Divine soul that the Lord gave to each of us. And then who went which way...

Therefore, I believe that in order to be strong, a person must believe in something. And it's best that he believes in the right things.

As for Muslims, we can learn a lot from them. The Orthodox used to live to some extent as zealously as Muslims do in some Muslim countries today. There were foundations: they respected elders, parents, understood their responsibility to their family, spouse, and if it didn’t exist yet, then they prepared for family life. The wife understood that her husband was responsible for her before the Creator, and was preparing to build her relationship with her future husband both as an assistant and as a subordinate. Today we see this hierarchy to a greater extent in Muslim families. We observe respect for elders.

You know, I was in Chechnya. We spent international competitions in Gudermes in 2004, when the second Chechen campaign was ending. So this is what I saw in the Chechen village. In every house they have a division into female and male halves. If an older person enters the room, everyone stands as a sign of respect for the elder. He gestures that everyone can sit down. The elder sits down and everyone talks. If someone older comes in, everyone gets up again. If, say, grandpa comes in, everyone there generally stands in line. The same respect is given to the eldest woman in the family. She has the right to enter men's territory. Also, a boy enters a room where there are girls (even if they are all related) - all the girls and women stand up.

What is this done for? In order for young children to learn order and respect. There is continuity of traditions. There is order. When they grow up, some decisions will be implemented according to a certain structure, and even if someone makes the wrong decision, there are older people who can stop the person who has gone too far. Are we seeing this? No. And these are Muslims, these are people who live their lives among us, and we can learn from them and draw conclusions.

- If a person has been taught to respect others since childhood, does this also contribute to self-respect?

Undoubtedly. It is possible to cultivate individual will, but it is best to cultivate it in a society where everything is subject to internal laws. Unfortunately, over the past decades, the family has suffered greatly - and this is the main basis of the state. Everything is mixed up, everything is upside down. Now we men are protected by a woman. The man was grinding. The man has become like the woman in the old days; he doesn’t want to bear responsibility. Where is our will?

- The second thing I heard from you is attention to detail. It is very difficult to discipline yourself in small things. For this you need will, and little things build will. Through little things we slide down and climb up. Is it so?

It is impossible to build a strong-willed person without passing certain small tests. Speaking about our structure, in our Federation it is structured in such a way that a person who gets into our club is trained by coaches for a survival test. Let’s say they tore a child away from his family and took him to training. He is yours, for 1.5-2 hours, homemade, plush, caressed, not showing any masculinity. We begin the process, and then he understands that his personal success will depend on the success of the entire team. Suppose one or two people in the group violate the discipline that the coach is cultivating. Everyone, the whole group, will be punished. Once, twice, three times - then you look - everything is corrected. A person becomes ashamed in front of his comrades, with whom he is here O Tom is washing his face.

Plus there is physical “pumping”. The person is punished, but he is not beaten with sticks. He does push-ups, pumps his abs, and does other exercises that shape his body. But this creates a situation where he feels bad. A coach who punishes a group makes it difficult for the group to perform this exercise. Let's say everyone can do 20 push-ups, the coach will not ask you to do 10 push-ups, but will ask you to do 30 push-ups, so that the group tries the last 10 times. And then he will say that they were punished for such a violation and in the future they should be more careful.

But this is not the first test. The first test is the first student belt that the child will take. The child must demonstrate technique, flexibility and physical fitness. The program creates conditions under which it is difficult, very difficult for a person to complete it entirely. But the coach must get him out of this crisis situation, not give him the opportunity to run away, become cowardly, break down, say: “That’s it, I won’t do it again, I don’t want to.” Having created this extreme situation for him, the coach helps him emerge victorious and pass this test. And then the person rises morally to new level. He is already beginning to rethink himself, beginning to form. This is how they prepare both a five-year-old child and a forty-year-old man.

The coach does this at every training session: he creates a situation and pulls his student out of it. Of course, the coach does this to comprehend something, to understand. And then gradually (and there are many such tests), a person, overcoming some small obstacles, becomes a person. And as it develops, the coach must also develop it spiritually. This is extremely important: either he will grow up to be a strong, powerful, but proud person who will despise, in his opinion, weak people, or he will grow up to be strong, powerful, humble, able to achieve goals in life, but at the same time loving people. And I want to say that not everything works out for us in terms of spiritual education. We raise strong people, but not always spiritual ones.

- It is probably difficult for proud people to comply with the regime? Or does it still work? Still, passions prevail.

There are people who endure the regime for great goals. They have set a goal for themselves and are moving towards it. But they are driven not by humility, not by love for people, but by self-love and pride.

- It seems to me that a humble person is still stronger. For example, Fedor Emelianenko …

The humble are always stronger, always. In a borderline situation he is stronger. When the proud one lies without strength, the humble one will rise up and finish everything to the end, for the sake of his Motherland. The same Fedor Emelianenko does not perform in order to fill his wallet. He knows that the people are behind him, he knows that with his performance he is raising his homeland, his people. They will focus on him, understanding whose representative he is. It seems to me that this is how he understands his speeches, his mission on the international stage.

- This man is spiritually strong.

I think so

- Based on the theoretical part, you can give some practical advice How can I encourage someone who feels not strong enough?

The main thing is to love God. Remember about God, when you feel bad, remember, and the Lord will give you both thought and help. As they say, “without God there is no way to reach the threshold.” This is the very first wish.

A practical wish - do not allow brain paralysis in a difficult situation. There is no need to be afraid of current events. I saw something scary running out. Everything has turned to stone. Do not rush to react immediately to the situation. Don't twitch or show anything outwardly. The main thing is to extinguish the wave of fear that will grow. Calm down. Assess the situation. When the brain is cold it gives birth good solutions. And then there will be a solution, and you will be able to jump over the fence, figuratively speaking, to do something else.

- How to learn this?

This, of course, needs to be developed in training. We have this test: if we have a serious fight, and one of the opponents shows that he is in pain, then the victory is taken away from him and given to another. That is, you cannot show that you are in pain and that it affects you: you will lose. It's the same in life. This can also be extrapolated to your life. You cannot show your inner feelings to anyone. They are only for you and the Almighty.

- Psychologists advise expressing your negative emotions after a stressful situation and not accumulating them within yourself.

If you are in a stressful situation, then you cannot show your inner state. Then go to your loved ones, communicate, show what your mood is. And now, while you are stressed, you cannot show your weakness. You can't show your thoughts.

I once saw a Japanese man who was beaten in a competition just terribly. It was such a brutal fight. Our fighter beat him mercilessly. The Japanese had no expression of emotion on his face. Three minutes passed. Our fighter is completely surprised that he could not defeat him. They gave us extra time. Our guy started to panic: no matter where he hits the Japanese, he doesn’t react, he doesn’t have any emotions on his face. As a result, the Japanese won because he was patient. Our fighter was very tired, and based on his activity at the end of the second time, or the third, I don’t remember, the Japanese were given victory. True, then ours left on his own, and the Japanese were carried away. He was all beaten up, and, in my opinion, did not go out next fight. What does this mean? About the fact that a person was able to mobilize inside and not show his inner state to his opponent. By this he caused panic among the enemy and spiritually defeated him.

It's the same on the street. The aggressor begins to attack you and put psychological pressure on you. If you react calmly, the attacker collapses. He has questions about why you are reacting outside the box? He will figure out everything for you - that you have a gun or something else. And you will have time to think and make a decision in these seconds. The main thing is to be calm and not show what is happening inside. Try to rationally, calmly convince, stop the aggression. Don't be provocative. You must behave outwardly confidently, but at the same time show that you are not seeking conflict. If you show that you want aggression, but are also afraid, this will provoke a further attack. There is no need to do this.

We teach our people to attack first in certain situations. When the enemy has a clear advantage in strength, numbers, when there is no way to leave, if the aggressor has a weapon, or in a situation where aggression occurs against your loved ones, women, children, you must attack. But without internal anger. If there are many attackers, you need to remove the main one in order to destroy the structure. They may move away from you on their own, seeing that you are a strong-willed person. You have to look into the eyes.

But we are talking about athletes. It is better, of course, to try not to create such situations; it is better to avoid them altogether.

- How to become such that you are able to look into the eyes of a person who is about to attack you without fear?

I have two types of experience in this regard: sports and spiritual. They are different. About how a person is brought up sports training, I told. In the spiritual sphere, this is prayer, this is reading spiritual literature. You need to read the holy fathers, there you will find the answer for yourself to how Orthodox people acted in a given situation. Compared to what happened in ancient times, what deeds Christians performed, the situations that happen in our lives are such a trifle. From time immemorial, the Fathers of the Church give us an example of how to behave, with whom and how to communicate, and from whom to ask for help. I'm talking about God: if you ask Him, you always receive.

- If a person constantly does more exercise What can he do that also helps strengthen his will?

Well, yes. Let's say you can do three pull-ups today. Set yourself the task of adding one more every week. To add once, you need to approach this horizontal bar three times every day, try to do it once plus another half time. You need to set yourself difficult tasks and systematically implement them. To strengthen your will, you always need to set some goals that lead to constant improvement.

- It turns out that sport is the only way to develop willpower?

Well, this is the easiest and most accessible way. Moreover, it is a sport in which there is the maximum element of testing a person’s physical and moral endurance. In some species this is not visible. And there are types that, in my opinion, have a very strong influence on people educationally. I think karate is very suitable in this regard. I'm not just talking about those who become masters, but about ordinary people, even those with various illnesses, disabilities or mental trauma. Our sport is very successful in strengthening people.

But sport is sport, after all, I believe that spiritual life should be at its best in each of us. I’ll tell you another incident: I once came to visit my elder at the Trinity-Sergius Lavra. I tell him: “I’m tired of sports, there’s a lot to do, I don’t see any prospects.” And he asked me a question: “How many people do you have? Who are you raising? At that time there were twenty thousand in the federation. I didn't understand the question. “You train a lot of people. You’re probably raising warriors, right?” - "Well, yes". - “So strong and strong, right?” - "Yes". - “What kind of warriors are you raising? Proudestov, perhaps? Who are you raising them for - for gangs? So that they live as selfish people? You must raise Orthodox warriors. Therefore, there is no blessing for you to leave sports, so go and work. Just as you attracted people to yourself, continue to guide them.”

And then I thought: who are we really educating? We must educate people who will benefit the state and society. And the proud - what will they bring to us? We must treat what we do with understanding. There must be great meaning in all our actions.

A distance (online) course helps to get rid of fears and anxieties: “ Overcoming fears and anxieties"

Power is responsibility, and the more it is, the more responsibility there is. This article will not talk about physical strength, and certainly not about superpowers. We'll talk about how to become stronger, how to become a strong personality. Being a strong person has always been a powerful quality that helped (and is helping now) a person to survive in this difficult life. Survival of the fittest is the law of life. This is natural selection, and even we, conscious people, fall under its influence.

Today the world population is 7.2 billion people. We are all completely different. It cannot be that every person has the same qualities. There is always someone stronger and someone weaker (both physically and psychologically). Some people, other people obey other people, and this is absolutely normal.

If all people have leadership qualities, it could lead to war. created in order to lead the people, and not to go themselves. And if you want to become a leader, you need to become stronger. You need to grow as a person.

How to become stronger?

Talking about how to become stronger, I don't mean increasing physical strength. I'm talking about how to become stronger mentally. Becoming stronger psychologically is a much more important task than becoming stronger physically (I will explain why below). To become physically stronger, all you need to do is visit the gym and fight training. As an athlete with 15 years of experience, I can tell you for sure that this will not take a single year of my life.

To become a strong personality it is necessary to create conditions for this. Many people have become strong personalities because life forced them to. People who grew up on the street without parents are psychologically stronger than those who grew up in comfort and warmth in the circle of a loving family. Character is formed throughout life. The more a person overcomes difficulties, the stronger he becomes.

You can become a strong person only when you overcome yourself and the problems that life throws at us, when you solve difficult problems, when you struggle and go through trials. The more difficult life is, the greater the chances of becoming a stronger person, and vice versa, the calmer it is, the less chance there is of anything. So what now, start living on the street to become a strong person? Of course not.

When I was in school, I had one friend who was constantly made fun of. He was not Russian, but that doesn’t matter. They called him names, teased him, kicked his briefcase, and so on. He couldn't take care of himself for a long time. But then his patience ran out. One day he decided that he needed to become cool. After some time he achieved this. He has changed as a person. When he was teased, he was not afraid to fight; he boldly began the fight even when his offender was stronger than him.

Of course, they stopped calling him names, teasing him, and so on. Notice that he didn't become stronger physically, he became stronger psychologically. He could not only physically stand up for himself, but also morally, that is, he could answer in such a way that it was then difficult for others to continue the conversation.

Being stronger mentally is much more important than being physically stronger. Some wimps are so good at influencing a person psychologically that even a thug is afraid to hit him. I saw this more than once at school. My father told me stories (when he was in the army) where weak men commanded strong men (in physical terms).

Therefore, if you want to become a strong person, you need to become stronger, like my classmate did. Strong people are feared and respected. So it's worth it.

How to become a strong personality?

The outside world influences the formation of a person’s character. If a person was born in difficult conditions, then he will either become a strong personality or die. It all depends on the person himself. The main thing is to overcome yourself and challenges.

I firmly believe that sport is an excellent tool for becoming a strong person. In any sport we face difficulties, and this is exactly what we need in order to become stronger both physically and psychologically.

I myself trained in martial arts for 10 years. This is a great school for building character and spirit. Any difficulty is a great chance to grow spiritually. You must be clearly aware of this. That is, the next time a difficulty arises, you should immediately understand that you have a chance to become stronger.

It usually develops during school time, when there are plenty of reasons for it. Any skill is saved and works automatically. If you are offended in a team, bullied, then it’s time to learn how to respond to people in the same way. My friend, whom I told you about, did this. At first he couldn’t stand up for himself, and then, when he got tired of everything, he decided to become cool. After that, he did not allow anyone to offend him. He fought a lot and swore, but he was feared and respected.

A strong person does not care about other people's opinions. A strong person is ready to go against public opinion. If he has a goal, he will go and achieve it.

You can use dumbbells or a barbell for these purposes. At the same time, you do not need to give up auxiliary exercises, which also bring certain benefits.

In fact, before starting any exercise, you should carefully familiarize yourself with the technique. Otherwise, there is a risk of simply wasting time, because incorrect execution will be ineffective.
• Give preference to progressive loads. In this case, it will be possible to avoid the body becoming accustomed to the stress associated with strength exercises.
• Provide longer breaks after each set. There is an opinion that the shorter the breaks between approaches, the more best results will be able to achieve. It should be noted right away that this is a big misconception. The point is that it is precisely in the conditions long break Maybe better recovery the body and increasing its endurance and readiness to continue exercising.

Improve yourself and don’t forget that physical activity not only builds mass and increases endurance, but also strengthens inner strength and character.

It's no secret that physical strength is not only a vital resource, but also provides security and one of the criteria for a man's attractiveness. All men want to know how to become physically stronger, even if they don’t talk about it out loud. But, unfortunately, only a small part takes any action for this. In order to become stronger, you need to develop all the muscles in your body. Muscle development is largely influenced by proper nutrition and power training.

Let's figure it out. Who is a physically strong person? This is a man who can carry a bag to the 12th floor and protect his girlfriend late at night. Nature provides that women are instinctively attracted to strength. Physical form- this is what saved our ancestors from certain death thousands of years ago, and now helps us feel more confident in the conditions of a modern city.

Proper nutrition

The diet of a person who cares about strength must be balanced and correct. You will have to stick to some kind of diet and eliminate foods that either do not have an effect or lead to weight gain. No matter how much a person attends strength training and lifts iron, he will constantly see the same numbers on the scale and wonder why the weight is not increasing. As in any business, in nutrition it is necessary to have some understanding of what and how it affects the body.

Nutrition should solve the following problems:

• Contain enough calories so that the body does not feel hungry during the day. The feeling of hunger is the main enemy on the path to muscle development. When the body needs resources for burning, it will begin to burn not only fat layers, but also protein elements.
• Also, nutrition should influence the decrease or increase total mass bodies. It all depends on the tasks. Gaining mass and strength training are an integral part of becoming a novice strongman.
• Nutrition should reduce fat and increase muscle mass.
• Nutrition also affects hormonal levels. In order for the development of physical strength in men to proceed quickly and efficiently, the male hormone testosterone must be released.

Muscle training

In addition to proper nutrition, which accounts for 30 percent of success, you must remember to exercise. It is advisable to conduct classes in the gym and with a trainer, but if for some reason this is not possible, you can use a set of home exercises or join the “Workout” movement. It is also important to remember that any strength training is dangerous, and it is advisable to properly draw up a training plan before starting.

Workouts may vary depending on what you are more interested in - relief or strength. Physical activity in these cases will be fundamentally different. If we talk about strength, then the main rule applies here - it is better to do fewer repetitions, but with more weight.

Each exercise is responsible for working with a separate muscle group. Conventionally, muscle groups are divided into parts of the body: arms, back, chest, abs, legs. The workouts are structured in such a way that each muscle group is worked every other day. A day of work is a day of rest. This best option training, as many trainers say.

Additionally, amino acids and protein can be obtained from special sports nutrition. Many people confuse sports nutrition with so-called chemistry, or anabolic steroids, but that's a completely different story. Sports nutrition- these are the same nutrients, which can be obtained by using chicken breast or a glass of milk, only in dry, powder form. They are not harmful to health and do not change hormonal levels, but they help strengthen muscle mass.

Exercise machines or free weights

Many athletes mistakenly believe that preference should be given to deadlifts, bench presses and squats with a barbell, and then the question of how to become physically stronger will disappear by itself. This opinion is erroneous because each person has a very individual body structure, and deadlift, for example, should absolutely not be done by people with weak back muscles. First you need to train them, and this can be done with the help of pull-ups and exercise machines.

A beginner who has just joined the gym should give preference to exercise machines, at least until he has properly pumped up his stabilizing muscles. The simulators are designed in such a way as to provide maximum load, eliminating the possibility of injury. On simulators it is formed muscle corset, stabilizers, and also practice the technique of basic exercises. After two to three months of active training on exercise machines, you can move on to free weights.

Number of reps and weights

As mentioned above, when training for relief and strength, there should be different approaches. If you are interested in the question of how to become physically stronger, then remember: less repetitions - more weight. As a rule, athletes try to lift weights in such a way as to do 10-12 repetitions of 3-4 approaches to the apparatus.

Of course, there are pitfalls here too. In order for exercises even with heavy weights to be effective, you need to pay great attention to execution technique. For beginners, it is recommended to do more repetitions with less weight at first in order to work out the technique and bring the exercises to automaticity.

• Don't forget to eat right, and remember that you need to eat 1.5 hours before classes and an hour after so that the workout is most effective and as much protein is absorbed as possible.
• While recovering, the body builds up, and this happens only in a sleeping state. Strengthening occurs during sleep, so you need to sleep at least 8 hours a day, it is advisable not to interrupt your sleep.
• To avoid unnecessary injuries, use additional equipment, such as elastic bandages and other accessories. When working with very heavy weights, it is better to use special holding
• Before training, there must be a warm-up. During the warm-up, you need to warm up your muscles and body. Great for this treadmill. The athlete's working body temperature is 37 degrees. In addition to warming up the muscles, you also need to stretch and stretch your joints.

Only thanks to constant, heavy physical activity and proper nutrition You can become a physically strong and healthy person.
