Building a Body
Building a body or really building your
own body to the level or shape of your desire is possible due to rapid growth
in technology and people's experience. Since it became a sport in the 1970s
more and more people want to develop their body's and unlock their full potential
in achieving not only just a massive body but a work of art!
Goal setting
To be a good bodybuilder you will need to focus on more
than just lifting weights. Set serious goals on what you wish to achieve out of
your bodybuilding. Setting up your goals can be the most important phase of
your training as it keeps the mind on track during training, helps with
motivation, and maintains a positive attitude. So what are your goals for building a body? What kind of body do
you want? Once you have written these down or set them in your mind you are
ready to start your body-building journey.
The Philosophy
You need weight training
to work the muscles but also a good diet and the right nutrition. The muscles
require a constant source of energy and other essential nutrients such as
proteins, fats, vitamins, and tissue-building enzymes. What we eat is vital to
bringing the muscle-building ingredients
to the right areas therefore it is important that we are mindful of what and
how much we eat.
Balanced Training
Rest is equally if not
more important for bodybuilding
after and during the workout. When we do weight training, we effectively "rip"
or damage our muscles. During rest, our bodies get to work on the damaged
muscles by growing the muscle fibers making them bigger. So we need to put the
body through a sedentary state when we have our rest periods. A balanced form
of body-building program is vital for
the entire body. Weight training, proper nutrition, rest, and a good
cardiovascular workout work extremely well in combination for producing great
results for your health and your body-building goals. Remember, your heart is
your power source, take care of it. Your heart will greatly help you train
longer and more efficiently.
The Mind Set
Maintaining a positive
attitude during and after training is KEY. If you keep your sights on the goals
you have set for yourself, you'll find that you can push yourself even further.
You will be surprised. Training is
hard work and very exhausting mentally and physically so it's normal to want to
give up and we start losing sight of our initial goals. So stay strong, and keep
in mind your goals, this will give you the boost you need to push further in
your training.
Know Thy Self
Understand your body's components and how the different
muscle groups work not just only what muscles you want to make bigger. It will
be very satisfying knowing you have built your body and mind into a strong and
healthy state.
