Mind and Muscle, Can You Use Your Mind to Build Muscle?

Mind and Muscle, Can You Use Your Mind to Build Muscle?

by Klint Newton

Can you improve your muscularity with a muscle and mind connection? The answer is definitely yes.

Can improve your mind with your muscles? Indirectly, yes you can.

Your brain is in control of your entire body and all that goes on in it, and your mind can control your brain. Your mind is what does all of your thinking. Every thought or impulse that comes to you comes from your mind. When you think, you control.

Where is your mind? That's a million dollar question. Let's keep it simple and say that your mind is in your brain and is your brain. When you think about things, e.g. how much fun next Friday will be, what garlic smells like, or lifting a coffee cup, your mind is doing the thinking, and this thinking is affecting your brain. Your brain then sends an electrical impulse to make things happen.

So if you think about drinking coffee, you can think about drinking it from the cup in your hand. Thinking this will naturally cause your brain to tell your arm to lift, your mouth to open, your throat to swallow... The most amazing part of this everyday thing is that you thought about what you wanted to happen; you wanted a drink of coffee. Your muscle and mind came together and did exactly what you wanted.

Drinking coffee is something you do naturally, on a daily basis. It's not a stretch for your brain to make this happen. Building muscle, on the other hand, is a stretch. One reason it is so difficult to build muscle is because your brain is constantly telling your body that it doesn't want to grow muscle. Everything that happens in your body can be overruled by your brain. So if it thinks not gaining muscle is best, you won't be gaining muscle. There is no amount of overpriced supplement, crazy looking exercises, or wishing that you would gain muscle that will make your brain want to build more muscle on your body.

The reason for this is because your brain is naturally hardwired to do certain things. Everyone is different, but for the most part, every person's brain tries its best to maintain homeostasis in the body. Basically, it tries to keep everything the same, it doesn't want change. Your body is simply geared toward survival. It is supposed to stay alive, and if your brain and body had there way, you wouldn't move or burn any calories. This brings up another point. Your body welcomes fat storage, but not muscle growth. Fat storage ensures that there will be energy for later use. Your body is happy to have an abundance of fat, and easily stores it. Your body does not want to have an abundance of muscle. Muscle actually burns calories, and your body doesn't want to burn calories, it wants to store them.

Fat (wanted by brain and body) = Less used calories + More energy for emergency Muscle (brain and body doesn't want too much) = More burned calories + less calories for later use

Fat (wanted by brain and body) = Less used calories + More energy for emergency Muscle (brain and body doesn't want too much) = More burned calories + less calories for later use

What Can You Do?

Right now, you're probably thinking that you can't control what your body does. Your thinking that you can't make it burn fat or build muscle, but its not that cut and dry, you might have more control than you think.

There's no doubt that nutrition and exercise play a huge role in if your body will store fat or build muscle, but there's more to it. Your thoughts can actually change your body's functioning, including how much fat it stores or how much muscle it builds. It really isn't that far fetched if you look at it scientifically. Remember, every bodily function originates, or can be influenced by the brain. It tells your body what to do, and sometimes you have direct input. You can move your arms and legs to play different sports and you can also train yourself and your body to play those sports better and better. Moving your body is easy, but you want to know how to gain muscle with your mind.

There's no doubt that nutrition and training play a major role in the amount of fat and muscle being built, but your mind and muscle are connected. Your thoughts can actually change the way your brain/body stores fat and builds muscle. It really isn't that crazy of an idea. Remember, everything that happens in your body starts in the brain. The brain is the boss, it gives your body orders, and they are carried out. You have a lot of control over your mind and muscle connection. You can move your limbs around and play sports and you can train your body and mind to play those sports even better. Moving your body is easy, but you want to know if and how you can build muscle with your mind.

I know what you are thinking, how can I build muscle with my mind? That's an automatic process that I can't control.

That's a correct statement. Building muscle is an automatic process just like pumping blood and breathing.

Think about it for a second. Try to stop breathing for 5 seconds. Start now. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. You can do it. You just did it. Breathing is something your brain does for you automatically, but you can actually control it. So, some things are automatic, but you can control them. You controlled your breathing by simply thinking about it.

It's starting to come to you, but let me explain a little more.

Obviously, your breathing can be changed by your thoughts, you've trained and perfected this, you can almost do it without thinking about it.
