I Set An Official WORLD RECORD Using More of the Mind to Train My Body

Find out how Kerstin used her ability to use all of her mind to lift heavy weights and get clients into their best shape.

I lifted 370 kg in a belted Squat machine. I did this officially recorded lift with the World Record Academy and I was thoroughly tested for steroids to prove that I performed this lift naturally.

Did you ever hear those stories of ordinary people who are not particularly strong but still managed to lift a car of a child in a crisis situation. Later when they come back and try to lift the same car they are no longer able to lift the car and even two or three people together can not lift it. To me that shows the difference between using a part of your mind and all of your mind. 

When the person is attempting to rescue the child their whole mind is taken up with lifting the car. The capacity to use all of the mind is what empowered me to be able to make this world record. That is my secret. Then by being able to use all of my mind continuously over a period of time I got stronger and increased my muscularity until I could safely make this lift. 

I am totally convinced that if athletes were able to avail of all of their minds every record that is standing today would be broken. 

In my job in Educogym I find that using all of the mind is the secret to getting people into the best shape of their lives. In university research it was shown that when people become stronger and more muscular this gives them a higher metabolism which helps to burn off fat.

So the secret for anybody, including athletes who want to get into the best shape of their lives is to increase their strength and their muscle mass. This is achieved by learning to use all of the mind and applying that to the training. 

Ultimately then you can apply the Mind – part that you developed training, to your daily life. I believe in training people’s bodies and minds together.

Is lifting weights the closest thing we have to a time machine?

The name is connected to how we age. After the age of thirty we lose on average 0.5 lbs (0.23 kg) of muscle per year, which amounts to 6 lbs or close to 3 kg of muscle loss in 6 years! 

We can lose up to 30% of our muscle mass by the age of 60, and this is what is commonly known as the aging process.

It isn’t just skeletal muscle that is being lost. We lose muscle from internal organs such as the heart and the intestine, causing reduced function. We also lose muscle from the face, causing the face to sag and promoting an aged look to the facial features. Having less muscle also causes us to release fewer youthful hormones (such as testosterone and growth hormone, vital for maintaining a lean and strong physique). 

Does this mean we are facing a bleak future? Not necessarily; the research shows people who train on the Time Machine gain, on average, 6 lbs (3 kg) of muscle in the first 12 days! That is the same amount of muscle we previously saw is lost over the course of 6 years during the so-called natural aging process. 

Gaining back skeletal muscle causes an increase in muscularity in general (internal organs and face, for example). Having more muscle also causes an increase in the output of our so-called youthful hormones (testosterone and growth hormone), which are the hormones that determine our body composition, or, in other words, the ratio of fat to muscle that your body is made up of.

So what is it about training on the Time Machine that caused such rapid muscle gain and, in effect, such a jump start to rejuvenation?

First of all, our gym equipment was built to facilitate working out in an inward-facing circle and without taking breaks in between exercises and sets. What this would do is facilitate completing your workout much faster, allowing you to have a full workout in just twenty minutes. Twenty minutes is the window of opportunity we have to work out before our output of the catabolic hormone cortisol (which breaks down muscle fiber) starts to increase. 

Training this way (in an inward-facing circle without breaks) was also shown in the research to help people who trained deepen their attention to the point where they accessed a deeper-than-normal state of attention (named unconscious attention) in the research.
