Full Title: How to Set a Personal Record In The Gym Without Changing Your Workout by Mike Westerdal, CPT, RKC

For many years, I’ve pushed myself and others to reach the peak of our physical performance.

I’ve carefully planned and executed sophisticated work-out and nutritional programs to ensure I reached my physical max. I left no stone upturned scraping out incremental improvement over incremental improvement.

But one day, a while back, I hit a plateau.

I was trying to increase the weight I was benching but nothing – no changes in my diet, nor changes to my routine – would push me past my current weight.

I had yet to hit a 600 pound bench press in practice or in competition. (If you’re anything like me, you’ll know the feeling of the frustration that follows when you hit a ceiling.)

No matter what I tried, it didn’t work.

Then one day, while waiting in a doctor’s office I picked up a psychology journal left on the coffee table. Flipping through it my eye rested on a story about pro athletes and peak performance.

Right then it hit me. It wasn’t a physical solution I needed, but a mindset change.

I HAD A PSYCHOLOGICAL BARRIER.

BUT I HAD NO IDEA HOW TO OVERCOME IT.

After hearing about Mike Gillette I managed to get into one of his strength psychology master classes where he revealed to a select audience the secret mental strength techniques he’d used when training special forces and law enforcement officers.

Within hours, I was a changed man.

That 600 pound bench press barrier I’d struggled to overcome for months and months was put to the sword within days of hearing Mike’s inspirational words and following his simple, easy-to-do mindset exercises.

During the meet I felt awesome. I was so calm, yet fired up at the same time. I just felt ready and I was able to block out everything except for the task at hand.

A few weeks later, I called Mike to discuss the changes I’d experienced.

I asked him if it was unusual the amount of progress I’d made in such a short time. Mike casually said ‘no’ and that most of his students reported life-changing results after spending just a few hours with him.

I was in stunned disbelief and I practically shouted down the phone at him…

MIKE, YOU HAVE TO SHARE THIS WITH THE WORLD…!!

For the first time, I’d seen that developing a tough mind was a learned skill.

You are NOT born with it.

Because of this ANYONE can become mentally tough.

No matter what your background, your ability and what stage you’re at now, you CAN increase your ability to handle every kind of stress – physical, mental and emotional – and not let emotions control you.

You CAN have a calm and disciplined mind that gives you focus and strength when you need it most.

You CAN develop the kind of military-grade situational awareness that gives you the vital edge when you need it.

And Mike can hand the power to you to take control instead of letting circumstances get the better of you.

At last, I’ve persuaded Mike to open up his toolbox of psychological techniques and share with you the ‘insider’ secrets he uses to train soldiers, law enforcement officers and… well, basically ANYONE who needs to develop mental toughness quickly and efficiently.

That means…YOU.

And we’ve created a complete step-by-step program that gets you from your ‘today’ self to your ‘warrior’ self as quickly as possible.

We’ve filtered out all the technical detail and present this incredible material in the most accessible and easy-to-follow way possible. Even if you’ve never been exposed to many of these techniques before, you’ll grasp the concepts quickly and be able to apply them IMMEDIATELY.

I’ve seen the power of these lessons on the human mind.

I understand the confidence, the power and belief you’ll gain by learning to be mentally tough.

So let me tell you about…
