If you've been struggling to build muscle, this could be one of the most important articles you read this year. As I write this, the year 2007 is drawing to a close. However, it doesn't matter when exactly you read this, for the message will be relevant for the rest of your life. I wish to speak to you briefly about the most important component in muscle building (and throughout other areas of your life, for that matter). What is this crucial component of any strength training or mass building program? It's Consistency.

You may have heard this at various times in your life. You've heard it stated in different adages like "inch by inch it's a cinch" and "try, try again" along with a dozen other clichés. You probably brushed it aside at the time, since our tendency is to search for the magic bullet - the one key that will unlock all of our desires with the least amount of effort. Unfortunately, we inevitably learn that there is no magic bean that can replace due diligence, determination, and, most of all, consistency. No supplement, regardless of the marketing hype, can provide you with the same results as a solid exercise and diet program followed carefully over many weeks and months. Always remember that our greatest successes in life almost always come from many small individual choices over time. The small actions on a consistent daily basis will accumulate and have a massive effect in the future.

You do need the right knowledge, of course, but understand that any muscle building course will require significant effort over a sustained period of time. These courses give you the knowledge to succeed, but you must apply them consistently to achieve any real long-term results. Trust me, I have long had a tendency to look for the latest thing, whether it was in the field of fitness or something else. Jumping from program to program will give you nothing. Reading the first few pages of a muscle course will do nothing by itself to build muscle, nor will stopping your program after a week or two of strength training. If you make a decision that you're in this for the long haul, you have essentially guaranteed your success from the very beginning. Any flaws can be corrected, and any obstacles can be overcome as long as you're committed to achieving your goals.
