The Brain-Training Secrets Of Olympic Athletes by Carolyn Gregoire Senior Writer, The Huffington Post
Many athletes have used the technique of "mental imagery," or visualization, to up their game and perform at their peak. Research on the brain patterns of weightlifters found that the patterns activated when a weightlifter lifted heavy weights were activated similarly when they simply imagined lifting, Psychology Today reported, and some studies have suggested that mental practice can be almost as effective as physical training. One study, published in the Journal of Sport & Exercise Psychology in 1996, found that imagining weight lifting caused actual changes in muscle activity.
"Mental imagery impacts many cognitive processes in the brain: motor control, attention, perception, planning, and memory," researcher Angie LeVan wrote in Psychology Today. "So the brain is getting trained for actual performance during visualization. It’s been found that mental practices can enhance motivation, increase confidence and self-efficacy, improve motor performance, prime your brain for success, and increase states of flow."
But visualizing is more than just thinking about an upcoming event. When athletes use visualization, they truly feel the event taking place in their mind's eye.
"During visualization, she incorporates all of her senses into the experience," sports psychologist Dr. JoAnn Dahlkoetter wrote in a blog on The Huffington Post about a speed skater she works with. "She feels her forefoot pushing off the track, she hears her skating splits, and she sees herself surging ahead of the competition. She experiences all of the elements of her race in explicit detail before executing her performance."

How to Improve Box Jumps by John Michael Bric
A box jump is as simple as its name suggests: you have to jump from the ground, onto a box! The size of the box can vary from workout to workout, and depending on your gender and age. Some Rx’d workouts might use a 24 inch box, while others use a 32 inch box.
But regardless of the size, the most important thing to remember is the hip extension at the top.
To perform a proper rep, a full hip extension must be reached. That means, once you jump onto the box with two feet, you must then lock out your legs, and stand up with your hips over your feet, just like a deadlift. Once you have achieved this, you can jump back down and start again!
Box jumps are great for any athlete and have a number of physical benefits. These include:
Increased explosiveness – Springing from the ground to a box is a great way to increase you vertical leap. The movement utilizes a lot of fast twitch muscles and that will help improve your overall explosiveness. The more you jump, and the higher you jump, the more explosive your legs will become.
Improved Olympic lifting – High box jumps have a direct carry over to the Olympic lifts. The rapid hip flexion in the top part of the box jump is the same as the hip flexion needed in the third pull of the snatch and the clean. So doing box jumps will help create faster hip flexion.
Improved cardiovascular - Box jumps can be an exhausting exercise. Each rep uses a number of leg and core muscles, and after a few reps you will notice your heart rate start to rise. This exercise is not only good to improve leg strength, but also to improve cardiovascular fitness.
During workouts, box jumps can be tough. Many beginners will burn out early in a workout simply because they do not have the form, or technique for box jumps. However, the exercise can be made a lot easier, by following a few simple steps to improve box jumps.
Proper Technique
The most effective way to improve box jumps, is by getting the right technique. I know what you’re probably thinking, ‘there’s not much to jumping from the ground to a box, is there?’ Although the truth is, there is.
Just like a deadlift, just like a snatch and just like a clean, a box jump is a lot easier when you have the right technique. A good technique consists of keeping your feet together, and trying to land them in the centre of the box.
You want to try to have a soft landing, and keep balanced the whole way through. Looking straight ahead and focusing on a horizontal point is a good way of keeping balanced while box jumping.

How to Perform the Valsalva Maneuver
Even though your body knows how to do this naturally, you may still need some guidance on how to use it voluntarily while weight training.
- Inhale Before or During the Negative.Start by inhaling before or during the negative repetition. After you’re done inhaling, hold your breath in. Complete the negative repetition.
- Exhale Against Closed Glottis at Start of the Positive. As you initiate the positive repetition, exhale against your closedglottis – The glottis is a structure in the windpipe that allows air to pass when open, and prevents air from passing when closed. If done correctly, your gut should be pushed out with your abs tightly contracted.
- How & Why It Works. When the air can’t escape, the result is elevated intra-abdominal and intra-thoracic pressure, which fills the abdominal and thoracic cavities. These pressure-filled cavities “insulate,” and therefore reduces the load on, the lumbar (lower) and thoracic (middle) spine. In other words, you’re able to keep your spine straight and safe. Plus, the built up pressure enables increased power output on the positive rep to help get you through the sticking point.
- Exhale After Sticking Point & Complete the Positive. You can finally breathe out once you get past the most difficult part of the positive repetition. Breathe however you’d like now; deep breaths, short breaths, whatever you gotta do to get that oxygen circulating (this technique isn’t just about holding your breath the whole time, ya know). Proceed to finish the repetition.
- Repeat. Repeat the process for the remaining repetitions in your set.

This Is What Happens When You Do Martial Arts Everyday by Evolve Daily
Today, Evolve Daily shares 6 Things That Happen When You Do Martial Arts Everyday:
1) You become more focused.
ONE Superstar Angela Lee defeats Mona Samir by Submission (Rear-Naked Choke) in ONE: Odyssey of Champions.
The more you train martial arts, the better you become at focusing on your goals. You know that hard work and discipline will help you achieve your goals faster, and that getting sidetracked could lead to your demise.
Because you’re so used to goal setting and staying focused at training, doing the same at work or school becomes easier. You know what it takes to accomplish a task and you’ll stop at nothing till you’ve completed it.
2) You become more humble.
The wai kru is a Muay Thai ritual in which students show respect and gratitude to their teachers, parents and ancestors.
When you train martial arts, you’ll come across training partners of many different levels and backgrounds. Some may be athletically gifted, some may be more technical – there will always be someone to challenge you.
Because you’ve trained so much, you get used to it, you become more accepting of yourself as a martial artist. You’re OK with making mistakes and losing to a sparring partner every once in awhile because that’s just the way it is. What’s important is that you learn from these mistakes and turn them into strengths later on.
3) You become more zen.
Many people believe that training martial arts makes a person more violent. Because they’re exposed to so many techniques, people think that it’s only natural that they would use it on others.
A true martial artist is the complete opposite of violent. In fact, he will probably walk away from getting into fights if he can. He knows that using martial arts against other people is the last option, even if he is being attacked.
4) You become more fit.
BJJ World Champion Kyra Gracie.
Training martial arts day in and day out will not only benefit you mentally, spiritually and emotionally, but also physically. You become so focused on learning and improving the techniques you’ve been taught in class, that you don’t notice all the weight you’ve been losing and that muscle you’ve been gaining!
Having a toned, fit body is just one of the many benefits of martial arts. You don’t even have to work for it – it’s something that just happens naturally.
5) You become friends with amazing people.
BJJ Champion Guli Kozama teaches a Little Samurai how to pass the guard.
When you train martial arts, you’ll meet people on the same journey as you. They put in as much effort as you do, talk about martial arts the same way you do and even crave for the same cheat meals as you!
There’s nothing like sparking a friendship with like-minded individuals. It makes it that much easier to stay on track with your goals and motivates you to work even harder than before.
6) You become more confident... (CLICK HERE for the Entire ARTICLE <<<<<)
Happiness in the Brain
I just read a scientific post that showed:
"What you see is a myosin protein dragging an endorphin along a filament to the inner part of the brain's parietal cortex which creates happiness. Happiness. You're looking at happiness."
Maybe but in my brain it looks like this...
