Meathead:

Since the beginning, weightlifters have battled many negative stereotypes addressing their mental capacity. It is generally assumed that they are either illiterate or just plain refuse to read books, sticking only to the pictures of muscle magazines as if being intelligent would some how shrink their muscles. These accusations, if true would totally defeat the purpose of a book created specifically for their reading.

The utility of a weightlifter's drive and mental fortitude can be harnessed for success in the trials of college gauntlet.


Age does not matter; natural-born ability does not matter. Practice & repetition is what matters. Their is exists a level of practice & repetition that will surpass those of innate ability. Success can be derived by transitioning the work ethic and skill-building fostered in the weight room to study and preparedness for the classroom. The textbook, class notations are the weights, reading and writing the muscles. Following this guide will shadow that of a personal trainer, with the purpose of constructing the most efficient path to the goals you set.

For many college students who weight train, their lives are imbalanced, spending too much time on the physical state, and neglecting the mental state. Once past the initial baptism into the mental realm and the soreness from mental fatigue (very similar to the physical fatigue at the beginning of a new weightlifting routine), the weightlifter will find better stamina than those who have been neglecting their physical state. The effort is built on cooperation; a strong body equals a strong mind. Many weightlifters have doubted their ability in study, despite the advancements they experience with each trip to the gym. The system of weight training is a very similar template to the system of study.
