You must know that I’ve American origins. My origins are very ancient and it’s said that my forebears are descended directly from ancient warriors. For a long time in my family a story is passed on.

About 30 years ago, 2 twins were born in a hospital of a rural country in the boundless Russia.

They both had on average abilities, but they had a strong personality and well precise goals in their mind. They grew up together until they married and went to live far each other with their respective wives. Then, they let out of their sight.

Many time after they saw again at a family meeting. The twins were still very similar. They had a like job, several sons and a wonderful wedding. Moreover, they had both matured a strong passion for the body culture.

But there was a difference.

One of them was enormously greater, stronger and more buffed than the other.

As concerns the twins I must say that they began together the body training.

What made their appearance so different?

The Knowledge. The right knowledge and a constant application.

I cannot promise that the success will be immediately yours if you will begin to follow my instructions. But I can guarantee that you will make a very fascinating trip looking for your potentialities and that I will give you all the necessary means to be excellent. It’s up to you then to put them in practice and act.

What the story taught us, guy?

The man since his origin has been always growing with the progressive overcharge. Do you know the Kaizen principle? It has been passed on directly to me by the last Japanese samurai warrior. According to this principle in your life you must always improve yourself, constantly. Even if you do a step behind, later you must do two steps ahead.

It’s said that at the age of the big conqueror Rome, there was a courageous and feared warrior. It’s known that this warrior trained transporting a young lamb on his shoulders along the path of a stadium. Every day, in the silence of his yard, he took this lamb on his shoulders and went all over his path. Day after day the lamb grew constantly of half-kilo, one kilo per day. Every day the warrior continued his training. He almost did not notice that the lamb was becoming a great adult bull since he was becoming constantly stronger too getting used to the changing bull weight. When after two years the one who was defined as the strongest gladiator of all arenas came to play him, found the warrior walking happy with a bull on his shoulders!

You cannot even imagine his reaction.

It’s said that he is still running away. I think that it’s just from him that the marathon legend took its origin! Well, that man did not manage to see beyond his nose. He saw only the current athletic performance of brute force without being able to understand how it could have been occurred. He saw the finish line and not the whole path to achieve it. Every success seems easy once achieved, but it’s never preceded by a linear way, you can even stumble along the path but if the goal is there, fixed in your mind, before or later you will achieve it. Undoubtedly our warrior trained to achieve that result

But the gladiator was too busy to hear his inner voice saying that it was impossible and that, undoubtedly, he was in front of a demon spitted out from the Cerberus jaws instead of a common man with an extraordinary tenacity. Well, the warrior had been successful since he had applied the Kaizen principle, the principle of the progressive overload. Train you trying to constantly overcome your limits at the gym like in your life and you will obtain all you fixed results. This is the most important concept and I invite you to put it well in your mind. Until you will continue to pump, to lift always the same sissy weights, doing a lot of sets and reps, you will remain just a spineless sissy!

The second secret comes from the Vikings! It’s written in the rock and passed on only to the bravest among the male first born of the strongest warrior families,

You must know that someone among these valorous men fight nude against the adversaries. They were called "furious" just for their ability in not feeling the stabbing pain of cut wounds they received. They continued to move ahead and fight, always, up to the victory. Then their wounds healed. Before the battle, do you know what they were thinking that would have occurred? They believed to be protected by the God Odin in person!

May be that you’re believing that they were the only people having boosting convictions. Have you ever read something of the Bible, guy? I think that you don’t know neither what I am talking about, I can guess it seeing you gawping, isn’t it?

Listen.

A lot of motivational authors, the progenitors, thought, with good reason, that this book would be the most important motivational book in the world. In the first part of the Bible, called Ancient Testament, it is passed on the story of an ancient people. It tried to live peacefully respecting the commandments of its God. But when it was attacked, its warriors were very feared. It’s told that one of them could stand up to at least 10 adversary warriors.
