Principles of training from Viktor Simkin

His path to bodybuilding is based on a creative attitude to the training process. Victor believes that the progress of the athlete directly depends on his morale, motivation for training. A real bodybuilder, in his opinion, should always be able to "pull himself together". After all, everything happens in life: stress, fatigue, apathy ... All this athlete must discard, crossing the threshold of the gym. Training should always be 100% complete.

From the height of the years he spent in creative training, he can really recommend that beginning adherents of bodybuilding work on improvement only under the guidance of professionals. It means going to the goal the shortest way and having a clear strategy of training.
