Dr.
Vost, a psychology professor and competitive strength athlete,
explores psychological research and survey material from 15 I.A.R.T.
participants, as he discusses training and motivation, adolescent
development, physical and mental growth, the peak and beyond,
psychological tools for raising weights and growing muscles,
self-concept, self-esteem, body image, aging, and more in this
hardcover book.
The
Influence of Youth on Lifelong Lifting
Full Range of Motive provides a unique
perspective in how our perception during youth can influence
our motivations to exercise as we get older. The author looks
at the issue of role models, from Arnold to Bruce Lee, and how
they affect our behaviors and goals. And then there are the myths
that prevent people from exercising or admitting they exercise,
such as becoming 'muscle-bound' or weak, unathletic, injurious,
mindless, narcissistic, or sexually aberrant. But on the other
side of the coin is the mistaken belief that so long as you are
persistent you can become a champ!
Growing Minds and Bodies
The iron logic of lifting is explored,
as the author discusses psychological development, and how a
person's intelligence and influential environment helps determine
what fitness philosophy one is likely to choose or come to choose.
In effect, the irrational will choose irrational methods, and
the intelligent will choose intelligent methods. No, not all
exercise methodologies are created equal, and neither are our
abilities to reason and think rationally.
Life
Beyond the Gym
Full Range of Motive speaks on self-concept, self-esteem, self-efficacy,
how we perceive ourselves and what all this has to do with our
motivations to exercise and our reasons for choosing different
methods of exercise. And it is no surprise that those with the
greatest work ethics also exercise hard and will do so for decades,
and while the sloths of society continue to drop in and out of
a healthy fitness lifestyle. True exercise enthusiasts also have
a healthier view of life, work, love and friendship, so that
in the end one's aging mind compliments the aging body successfully.
Mind
Power
Full Range of Motive provides you several key tools to optimize mental
power to achieve larger and stronger muscles. From values to
goals to results, learn how and why goals need to be specific,
time-limited, difficult, planned, objective, monitored, contextual,
and with full commitment.
