Dirty Trick Beats Fat Loss Plateau
By: Craig Ballantyne, CTT

I once had a training partner that would put more weight on the bar than I expected. For example, if I planned to do 200 lbs for 8 reps,
he would sneak on 210.
And the thing is, I often ended up doing it just as easily as I
expected to do 200.
The point to his dirty trick?
He knew I was stronger than I let my mind believe.
(Note: Don't try this at home. He was also spotting me during each
repetition.)
But how can you benefit from this dirty trick?
2 ways.
1) Change your mindset and self-image.
If you are stuck at a fat loss plateau and keep telling yourself you are meant to be fat, then
guess what? You'll never win.
Instead, tell yourself you are meant to lose the fat. And believe it
when you say it! Picture yourself with a better body. Picture
yourself buying clothes for your new, better body.
Here's a great example of a fat burning mindset shift mentioned by
SteveH on the member's forum...
"Yesterday's eating went well. I even resisted a plate of fries and
didn't order the burger I was wanting. I used the mindset that
Craig mentioned - "I am a healthy person. Healthy people don't eat
Burgers and Fries". So I got a turkey sandwich with steamed
veggies."
Having a strong, positive thinking attitude will put you on the road
to success.
2) Break a new record in the gym each workout.
Your body won't change if you aren't improving. My friend's dirty
trick ensured that I was always doing more each workout, and
therefore, always making gains.
So for your fat loss workout, pick one area you can improve on each
workout. Whether it's one more pushup, a faster interval, or 5 more
pounds on an exercise, break a record and you'll bust your plateau.
Train for performance, and the fat burning will follow.
