Conditioned Athletes vs. Bodybuilders

These 2 advesaries have been going at it for decades and many people have different opinions, intrests and experiences. When I talk about conditioned athletes I mean by football players, wrestlers, gymnasts, baseball players, basketball and combat ect. These athletes are a special breed, no matter how you put it these guys are the athletes of the world, they know what they must do to be in shape and they are in shape for that particular sport, doesnt matter whos better at what sport it all matters on their dedication and how they got there and do they have the drive to keep going. Some do some don't but one way or another we as fans have watched them do their thing but never knew how they trained.

I believe the athlete who puts himself in a position where he is the last one to stand and fire up his team or just himself and wants to finish what he started thats a conditioned athlete and he is the strongest of them all. They train hard and they train with fire, thats the slight few. There are very few athletes in this world that care about their sport and keep driving to get better when the majority rather rely on talent and see how much dough they can get in their pockets. Those few dont do steriods, they dont do drugs and they certainly arnt in it for the money. They train everyday, they push themselves to constant limits and they always have a positive goal and they drive hard to achieve it. I won't name athletes but I many people would know who they were so you be the judge.

Bodybuilders are a different story with a different mindset but with a similar look at what they want to accomplish. They want to be the best at all costs. They're a different breed of athlete. They want to be the biggest and strongest looking guy on the stage and make themselves like bohemeths. No matter what gym you go to anywhere in the world theres at least 10 guys possibly more in that one gym whos looking at themselves in the mirror and flex with everything they got from every possible angle. Thats what people see more of in the last 30 years or so and thats where they would mostly set their mind to. I used to see guys like that and everytime I looked at em I picture them saying "If I look good then everything else will come into play, I dont need talent to do anything else I got this killer body." Unfortunitly the world doesn't always work that way.

You will see these 2 types of figures time and time again and just like looking at the front of a book, Don't judge it by its cover, a guy ripped to shreds and has the body of a greek god may not have the ability to last very long with a sports athlete. Its ok to look good no harm with that, but you gotta bring the inner tools to back it up. No matter how you put it theres going to be oppisite sides to who is better, truth is neither are better at any one of us can accomplish. The question is do you have the drive to be better? Do you have the power to take on difficult tasks?

Look inside yourself and what you want to accomplish, what you have the inner ability to do and what you have your mind set on what you want, that makes you the better man/woman inside yourself not what someone will think of you.

Create yourself a mindset and picture what you want and once you do that, you have what it takes to get better. If you want to learn these things and help create your mind through physical movement and some reading to help get you there got a book and dvd to try out.

Yours in Power & Might
