Hey guys, this is Mike Blesso with Barbell Shrug.

This is going to be a bonus track from weightlifting talk that we did with John North at the Arnold

Sports Festival last week.

So this is not Barbell Shrug, this is a podcast from weightlifting talk, but John North

was nice enough to let us post it on our site as a bonus to you guys.

So enjoy.

And if you haven't heard his podcast, go to spreeker.com and search for weightlifting

talk or John North and that's where you'll find all his episodes.

Peace.

Tate of Tots.

When you're a competitive athlete, you learn very quickly how strong you are, how energetic

you are, all of those things.

But it could very well be that there's a lot of people who have an equally as good

body as you have.

It performs just as well.

It is us muscular, it's in bodybuilding, there's exactly the same kind of proportions in

all of those things.

So the question really is, what puts you over the top?

It is the mind that really creates the body.

It's the mind that makes you really work out the four or five hours a day.

It is the mind that visualizes of what the body ought to look like as the finished product.

Hello everybody.
