Although
bodybuilding's pain hurts,
how you experience it depends in part on how you think about it. You
might believe that bodybuilding pain, as a sensation, can't be affected by attitude.
Consider, however, the times you've been so involved in your
bodybuilding workout program that
you didn't notice until later that you were injured. You can't control
the firing of your nerves, but you can alter the context in which you
think about the pain.
An intense
bodybuilding workout
includes feeling a burn, rapid pulse and lots of sweating. Reframing
involves seeing bodybuilding pain not as unpleasant feelings to be avoided, but as
a signs of muscle growth. If your motivation isn't at its peak and your
bodybuilding workout seems tough, remind yourself that exhaustion and
burning are signs that you're alive, and in the context of bodybuilding,
signal muscle growth. Revel in those feelings. The more you burn, the
more you grow. (Certain types of pain, however - such as shooting,
stabbing pain - indicate that you should stop your bodybuilding
workout.)
