I hope that you are reading this post before the post on the costs of training. If after reading this post, you are so excited you can barely wait to start your journey, please calm down a bit and read that post. I want you to be well informed and clearly understand what is laying ahead. Don’t worry; there will be plenty of posts in this blog to keep you motivated. Ok, let’s not waste time. The following are the benefits of training for the best physique of your life:

• Gaining serious mass and looking big is a serious job for ectomorphs (skinny people). If you can gain muscle and get buffed, you are training smarter than the majority of people you see at any gym that you go to (except for those especially for professionals). Most of the big guys in the gym are big because they were born big (mesomorph body type). In other words, they grow big even when they sneeze. 80% of those guys don’t know squat about proper training, eating and sleeping, and 99% of them don’t know as much as you will. To sum up, if you can get big, you have achieved something that MOST people only dream about.
• How many people you know can say they will do something and actually do it? Even when it is something simple, those people still can’t stick to it for more than a week. For ectomorphs, getting big is easily among the 4 or 5 hardest tasks they will ever have to do in their life. Imagine the level of self confidence, the sense of purpose, and the wonderful feeling of achievement you will experience once you have gotten BIG. There is nothing you can’t do once you have been able to get big.
• Besides some specific knowledge required for getting big and gaining muscle, you need the same determination, desire, discipline, faith just as you do for achieving anything else. So not only will you be confident that you can achieve anything you set your mind on, you will also know HOW to achieve these goals.
• Do you know this? You are truly educated only when you can get whatever you want without harming other people. Schools are a waste of money because most people go through the motion without learning this fact, let alone mastering it. Some people do know it though, and they are all successful. Don’t agree with me? Read “Think and Grow Rich”; it is essential reading that should be taught at all schools. Or leave me a comment, and I will have a post explaining why. This is a crucial point, because you must understand that getting big is not simply mindless work. Far from it, you will learn important life lessons that can be applied to anything else. Following are some examples:
• Getting big is time consuming (you will know the full extent when you read my post on the costs of training). You will learn to spend your time wisely, keep yourself disciplined (not to watch some stupid youtube clips when you have some homework due the next day because you have to sleep 8 hours).
• You will learn to keep yourself motivated and your desire for a great physique always fresh and strong. It is one thing to be super excited about training right NOW, but it is another story to stay that motivated ALL THE TIME.
• For a scrawny ectomorph to get big, it requires radical actions and radical thinking, and radical actions and thinking beg ridicules and doubts. You will learn to believe in yourself and to ignore what everyone else think. It’s your life; you can’t always live it the way other people want. It will take gut to say NO to your friends and family. It will take discipline and determination to get rid of all your bad habits and lead a new healthy life style.

Of course you can find other benefits for training from other blogs and websites. But I believe these benefits listed above are the most important because they prove that you are not just training to get big, you are training to be a better person, to be truly educated.

RECAP: The benefits of training far exceed the costs of training.
