<title>The Power of Belief</title>
<link>http://fitmarker.com/motivation/the-power-of-belief/</link>
<description><![CDATA[ I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… we’ve seen all sorts of training programs work.  When we’re getting to the crux of what works and for whom it works, we’re really looking for common threads between the programs.  This is where the over-arching principles of training come into play.  Things like the principle of specificity, the law of individual differences, etc.  The trouble is, things like this only seem to make sense to guys who have been around for a while.  A beginner or intermediate might know what these principles mean (i.e. they have “identification” level knowledge… sometimes better).  But the experienced lifter can put it into practice.  This is mastery.  And I am already getting off topic…

            Looking for common threads in training programs has produced great results for us in the past.  We’ve seen guys switch from “Westside” inspired programs to “Sheiko” programs and make great results.  We’ve seen guys go the opposite way and switch from “Sheiko” to “Westside” and get great results there, too.  And it’s not just those two, but all manner of training styles.  This has led us to the idea that maybe the program itself isn’t necessarily superior but the switch between programs that presents a new stimulus and elicits further gains.  That’s the kind of common thread we look for.

            We’ve kind of touched on the power of belief before, but not in enough detail.  You see, this is one of those common threads that is SO common and SO prevalent in successful programs that it’s easy to overlook or understate.  So let me attempt to dispel any misconceptions about it… ]]></description>

<title>Dunning-Kruger Effect</title>
<link>http://fitmarker.com/mind-body/dunning-kruger-effect/</link>
<description><![CDATA[ The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes.[1]
Actual competence may weaken self-confidence, as competent individuals may falsely assume that others have an equivalent understanding. As Kruger and Dunning conclude, "the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others" ]]></description>

<title>6 Ways In Which Men Reveal Their Inner Vaginas</title>
<link>http://fitmarker.com/motivation/6-ways-in-which-men-reveal-their-inner-vaginas/</link>
<description><![CDATA[ Let me start by saying that there is nothing inhertly wrong with having a vagina (if you were born with one) and nor do I have anything against a vagina – in fact I’m quite fond of its warm and cozy confinds. However, it saddens me when those who were born with a pair of balls choose display characteristics of someone who is suffering an estrogen overload. 

In layman terms, it’s when men start to act like whining little bitches. Below I have found 6 of the most popular ways in which they do. ]]></description>
