How Mental Strength Drives Physical Gains with Sourav Chowdhary

Beyond The Prep Podcast

“It's not just the physical part of it, but you have to be mentally focused on your journey. Keep going and never give up. It may take time, it will suck. But at the end, it’s all worth it.” —Sourav Chowdhary

It is the marriage of a strong mind with a strong body that sees competitors across the finish line in their best possible shape. Getting one's body into peak condition requires extreme discipline, sacrifice, and perseverance for months on end. But unless the mind is equally conditioned to withstand temptation, push past plateaus, and rise above doubts and difficulties, competitors will not be able to stay fully committed to their training. Developing a strong mental fortitude is key to staying laser-focused on our goals during their most challenging moments.

In this episode, Sherrie sits with Sourav Chowdhary. Sourav showed dedication and mental strength by continuing his bodybuilding journey despite facing unforeseen circumstances and loss. He motivated himself by dedicating his training and competition to his deceased brother-in-law.

Listen in as Sherrie and Sourav discuss how commitment can help one overcome setbacks, the importance of keeping clear of your purpose, the benefits of resisting the temptation to cheat during prep, how to stay focused and calm during competition, and the one thing that is more important than receiving awards.
