Achieving insane muscle gain is not a walk in the park.

Getting major results in terms of insane muscle gain and increased strength only come from one source - pushing yourself harder than ever every time you enter the gym. This is one of the biggest reasons why most people don't see the insane muscle gain they desire; they just plain don't train hard enough. Why don't they? Because

It's painful. It's uncomfortable. It hurts like hell.

Too bad, so sad, my friend, because if you want insane muscle gain then you'll have to rise above and conquer the natural feeling of pain that is associated with intense sessions in the gym.

You deserve insane muscle gain, so take a look at the techniques below to learn how to numb your feelings of pain and push past them to reach your goals. Consider the following suggestions and you will be happy with the progress you'll make

1) Life-Threatening Situations

Just when you think you can't go any further, imagine someone you love is trapped under a heavy weight and it's up to you to save them by lifting it. For example, when performing chin-ups you could ...
... pretend that you are hanging from a cliff, or while deadlifting you could imagine that you are rescuing someone who is trapped underneath a car.

2) Magnetic Force

Pretend that the weights you are using are powerful magnets that are being attracted in the opposite direction. While bench pressing, envision the ceiling as a magnet pulling the bar or dumbbells toward it.

3) Envision Your Muscles

When you're at the gym, you need to break down those muscle fibers to get your body to respond. While performing your sets, visualize what is happening inside of your muscle tissue. Visualize the way your muscle fibers are ripping and changing, filling with blood and nutrients to create insane muscle gain.

4) Have Someone Watch You

I'm not talking about using a spotter here, I'm simply talking about having a friend or training partner watch you perform your set. We usually tend to push ourselves harder when we know that someone is watching.

5) Positive/Negative Force

Imagining that you are shoving something negative away from you helps with any pushing exercise. It doesn't matter what you choose to push away but imagine something you really don't like, such as an emotion, an object or a person. For pulling exercises, do the exact opposite. It might be cash, a person you love or a happy feeling.

6) Set Ridiculous Goals

If you were planning to perform 5 reps on the next set, aim for 100 instead. Don't just tell yourself this; believe it. Once the set begins, tell yourself that you aren't giving up until you reach 100 reps.

7) Close Your Eyes

Be smart and only use this technique on the simple exercises. You definitely wouldn't want to employ this technique when squatting or deadlifting. On easy exercises, close your eyes. This will block out all of your visual stimuli and will allow you to focus 100% on performing the exercise.

8) Pretend It's Someone Else's Pain

Training to failure is physically discomforting, but what you have to do to achieve insane muscle gain. Work through muscular failure by picturing your physical pain as something belonging to someone you really dislike. The more you push, the stronger the pain is that they receive. Maybe it seems mean, but if it helps keep you motivated then I'd encourage you to try it out.
