What will you gain by being a bodybuilder? You'll build a great physique, you will have more energy than you have ever had before, and you will improve your health. It's easy to go into a state similar to meditation when you are concentrating on your workout. This is great for your mental health. Hopefully, other people around you will not break your concentration. In any case, before you begin, here is some advice to help you get off on the right foot.
One important concept is to learn which diet you should follow based on which phase of bodybuilding you are in - bulking up or cutting. Most successful bodybuilders recommend that you eat a high carbohydrate meal before any intense workout. As a matter of fact, you should also replenish your body after your workout so your muscles have what they need for healing. Keep in mind also that carbohydrates are used for fuel and what you don't use is stored as fat. If you are gaining too much fat, don't eat carbs after 7 pm unless you are going to be very active. This doesn't mean you should eliminate them completely but stick to non-starchy vegetables. For the most efficient fat burning tactic if you are using cardio training to rid your body of excess body fat, make sure you do your cardio first thing in the morning before you eat any additional carbs. Let you body use the fat already stored in your fat cells. The reason to do your cardio in the morning before you eat any carbs is that your body will then be forced to use your stored body fat for fuel for your workout.
If your aim is to get lean and get a six pack you can totally forget about any alcohol! Your body metabolizes it like it does to carbohydrates, so it doesn't actually get stored as fat. So what exactly does this mean for you? Well it means that your body will firstly burn off the alcohol for energy meaning your fat will simply stay where it is! Two other great reasons to avoid alcohol are that several studies have found that alcohol acts as a suppressant on the libido as well as the loss of muscle strength. Is it really worth a weekend of being drunk for wasting all of your hard work? But if you really are serious about getting ripped you will leave the alcohol.
Exercises that use multiple muscle groups are recommended for gaining muscle mass quickly. By doing isolation movements you'll only be working out slow twitch fibers, which boost endurance rather than mass, so you should try doing bench press, dead lifts and squats to add on the most mass. So, considering this you should make sure your workouts include plenty of compound exercises to make the most from the gym. You will need to change things around to keep making progress at the gym, so monitoring your progress to see where you're falling behind is a good idea.
The only way you're going to succeed with bodybuilding is by doing the work - and it can sometimes be very difficult. Just thinking about it won't get you anywhere. However, in the end the effort will be worth it from many viewpoints, including being healthier than you have ever been before.
