100 Bodybuilding Tips

1. Bodybuilding requires commitment.

It is a totally different lifestyle that entailsletting go of old habits and adopting new ones. You cannot go intobodybuilding and be half- hearted about it. It is a test ofstrength, self-discipline and willpower. Start only when you aresure you can commit time, effort and energy.

2. Your decision

Your decision to start on muscle training mustcome from a sincere desire for a healthier and a more developedbody. Do not go into it just because its your New Yearsresolution. People who decide to change something in them when thecalendar flips on January 1st are most likely to stray from thisdiscipline.

3. Make an assessment of your body.

Decide what kind of attention goes to which partof your body. Some people have flabbier arms while others have mostof the fat collected in their midsection. This way, it is easy foryou to create a program that addresses your problem areas.

4. Set your goals and create a planaccordingly.

How much body fat do you want to lose? How muchmuscle weight do you intend to gain? Are you after gainingstrength? Are you after developing speed and endurance? What aboutpower? Give yourself a deadline of when these goals should beattained.

5. Manage your expectations.

One month is a good start in losing weight butit isnt enough to get you ripped. Make a realistic visualizationof the progress you can achieve in a certain period. Do not setyourself for disappointment. Most beginners get discouraged becauseof the unrealistic goals they set for themselves.

6. Assess your lifestyle.

How many hours a week do you intend to devote toworking out? How much energy do you still have after work/school?Is it best to go before your daily duties or after? What habitsmust you get rid of? Alcohol? The weekend buffet? Nightlyparties?

7. Create a journal.

Document your progress from day 1. Write downyour current weight. Measure your body fat using a fat caliper.Take photos of your body, especially the problem areas. Comparemeasurements as you go along your bodybuilding efforts. This shallserve as your motivation in reaching your goals.

8. Hormonal profile plays a significant rolein muscle mass gain.

Testosterone is responsible for developingmuscles while estrogen is responsible for the womanly curves.Hence, men grow muscle mass faster than women. This should not be aproblem to women since they are more concerned with toning andshaping rather than gaining bulk.

9. The ability to gain differs from person toperson

The ability to gain differs from person toperson so progress cannot be tracked by comparing it with yourtraining buddy, even if both of you started at the same time. Youcan check your development only by taking note of your presentmeasurement and comparing it with your previous measurement.

10. Do not be discouraged

Do not be discouraged if you do not see a changein your weight during your strength training. While you lose weightby burning fats, you also keep or even increase poundage as youbuild muscle. Evaluate your progress by keeping track of yourstrength gains and measuring your body fat against muscleweight.

11. Know the difference between setting up anin-home gym versus getting a gym membership.

Many people find it easier to stay faithful totheir routine in a gym setting. An in-home setting is convenientbut poses temptation to slack off. The presence of otherbodybuilders is a motivating force.

12. Bodybuilding partner

If you intend to get a bodybuilding partner,choose someone who has strict exercise habits and is most unlikelyto flake on you. Working out is an activity that can be enjoyedwith someone, especially because you have someone who can spot onyou. However, make sure that you dont go lazy once your buddydrops the routine.

13. Prepare yourself physically, mentally andpsychologically for the task at hand.

Condition your mind that you are capable ofachieving a better physique. Remind yourself your reasons forwanting a better body be it for strength, confidence or forphysical attractiveness. A good warm-up routine lets your braincondition your body to the rigors of the training ahead.

14. Be creative in your strength-trainingprogram.

The more fun that you have in your workout, thebigger chance that you are going to stay in the program long-term.Aside from tips from your trainer, maximize the wealth ofinformation available in the World Wide Web. Search for tips, watchvideos and exchange ideas on online forums.

15. Warm-up is not an option but a crucialpart of every work out session.

It allows your body to adjust from rest toexercise mode. It increases the body temperature, which regulatesthe flow of blood to the muscles to be worked out. It lessens theoccurrence of injury when performed properly.

16. Warm-up has three levels.

Always start your workout session with a five-to ten-minute general body warm-up. Light exercise such as thetreadmill conditions your heart and body for what is ahead.Body-specific warm-up conditions the flexibility of the muscles bygetting exercised at light intensity before going on full blast.Exercise-specific warm-up introduces the exact exercise techniqueto your muscle and lowers resistance.

17. Stretch after warming up.

The benefits of stretching must not be taken forgranted. It increases flexibility and enhances agility. Thisenables ease of transition from one position to another. Stretchingencourages muscle growth by extending the bodys capacity to holdone exercise position after another. Allot 15 seconds of stretchingbefore performing sets.

18. No matter what the myths say, you cannever turn fat into muscle.

You cannot work out fat. It is not flexible nordoes it control any movement. All it does is cushion your muscleand hinder it from developing. You have to lose the fat first togive way to muscle building.

19. Burn fat through cardio exercises.

Fat burning takes place once you get your heartrate to the correct level. Target heart rate can be calculatedusing the Karvonen Formula. Target heart rate depends on ones age,resting heart rate and low end of heart rate. Most gyms use targetheart calculator for this purpose.
