Do Muscles Make You a Better Leader?
If you are someone who is thinking
of hitting the gym, then this article is a must read for you. One of the most
common reasons that men work out and pump iron every day is because they want
to look good and be respected everywhere. A muscular physique is arguably one
of the most attractive things that a man can have.
There are a number of reasons that
men who have a confident posture and some impressive muscle on their form are
among some of the most successful leaders in the world. Take for example Arnold
Schwarzenegger. One of the most well-known muscular guys that the world has
ever seen, Schwarzenegger has long been the benchmark for what a successful,
fit and influential guy looks like. Being fit and having a good physique is
synonymous with success in today's world.
The following are some of the most
common perceptions of fit and ultimately more powerful people:
A
Muscular Physique Denotes Strength
If you are seen as a man who has
been going to the gym and eating right, then one of the first things that
people will do is to take you seriously and treat you with respect. A muscular
physique denotes strength and confidence and this, in turn, lets people believe
that they can place their trust in you and count on you to get the job done.
Whether it is in a board meeting or in any other field, a good physique is one
of the best ways to ensure that you get the right kind of attention, both from
men and women.
A
Good Physique Demands Respect
The second thing that a good
physique does is that it inspires people to respect you more. The scientific
reason for that is the shoulder-to-hip ratio or the SHR. A high SHR is directly
related to more virility, improved confidence and greater influence on others.
People like Schwarzenegger and almost every other movie star in the world today
inspire respect because of their SHR. If you are someone who is looking to make
a great impact in your work place, then pumping some iron is a good way to make
it happen.
Improves
Confidence and Denotes a Source of Security
The third reason that muscle is
important when it comes to leadership is because it allows people to think that
you are a secure, confident and resourceful man. Both in your personal and
professional life, a good physique is much needed when it comes to influencing
people's perceptions.
Muscular men are more often than
not seen as people who are dependable, disciplined and resourceful. Since these
qualities are vital when it comes to improving performance, they are much
needed to instil confidence and boost one's leadership qualities.
Be
a Leader
One of the most important aspects
of being a good, successful and influential leader is a strong physique. Men
who are toned and pack on some good muscle are viewed much more favourably than
those who do not workout. Overall, muscle does carry some serious weight both
in the boardroom and in your personal life. Lifting, eating right and being a
fit guy are arguably some of the most important things when it comes to making
a mark in the world.

"Creating Crazy
Gain was the best decision I ever made"
says Kevin Hodges who is a true believer in working hard and enjoying the
benefits that follow. We all want
something extra; to be bigger, better, faster or stronger but we're too often
afraid of the hard work and look for a "quick win" rather than putting in the
hard work. Training and working out is
no different, and unless you put in the hard yards, you won't get the results
you desire. Stay clean, train mean and
get lean...it's as simple as that!
