Muscle Building is “Easy” if You Do it Right
But
Hard if You Do it Wrong
I dont
know about you, but I have been the route of working hard at my
training for
months on end and not seeing the results which I had hoped to achieve
or which
I could have achieved. If you have also been there, you are not alone.
Thousands of us join a gym and start
weight training thinking that is all that
is necessary and they could not be more misguided. Think back to any
sport or
activity which you have excelled at. I bet that, whether it was
football,
baseball, tennis, ice hockey, playing the guitar or whatever, you only
improved
once you had lessons or coaching. For the life of me, I cannot
think why we
think that bodybuilding is different and does not need guidance.
The
principles behind Muscle Building
are deceptively
simple
- Put
your muscles under enough strain for them to scream for mercy. In
defense they
will increase in strength and size to cope with that strain. Put more
strain
and they will react by getting bigger and stronger. and so the pattern
is
repeated
- Eat
enough of the right types of food to replace the energy used, as well
as enough
for the building muscles
- Get
enough rest for the muscles which have been put under severe strain, to
recover
sufficiently to start over again
Let's
tackle the wrong way to Muscle Building
first
- Dont
try it without an experienced and proven mentor, trainer or training
program.
You could be at it for years without showing the results you want
- Forget
about the articles which you have read in Muscle Magazines Almost
certainly these
have been written for experienced bodybuilders
- Ignore
what you have heard from guys who do not have the track record. They
can
unintentionally send you in the wrong direction altogether
- Stop
dithering. Make a decision to do it properly and stick to that decision
Right.
Now lets tackle the right way to build muscle
- As
silly as it sounds, the very first step is to make a firm decision to
build
your muscles significantly within the next six months
- Then
find a Muscle Building Program which has been prepared by an
experienced
trainer and one which can show proven results
- Stick
to the program with discipline. You can only achieve anything in life
if first
of all you want it badly enough and secondly if you are determined to
see it
happen
- Finally
do it thoroughly. This will mean exercising 3 - 4 times a week, eating
6 -7
times a day, getting a minimum of 7 - 8 hours rest daily, and keeping
accurate
logs of your exercise program, your eating and you rest patterns.
You
will
be amazed how easy, interesting and fulfilling it is if your do it
properly
