The truth about building muscle for men and women

1. The Truth About Building Muscles
If you think that bodybuilders take steroids in order to bulk up and look as large as they do, this is actually a huge misconception. While
it is true that there are some bodybuilders who are getting bulky in all the wrong ways, there are plenty of natural body builders who
build their muscle in all the right ways.
So, what are some other common misconceptions about bodybuilding?
Well, like I mentioned above, many people think that all bodybuilders got that way because they took steroids. This isn’t’ true. You can
become a great body builder and build plenty of muscle simply by eating a balanced diet high in protein, training 3-5 days a week, and
taking supplements- but certainly not steroids. In fact, these supplements are not going to do a whole lot for you. It’s the training and
nutrition that counts. If you follow the Vince Delmonte no nonsense approach you can’t go wrong!
The next myth is that people think that you have to work insanely hard in order to become a bodybuilder. Yes, and no. You have to work
very hard, but the fact is that you have to allow your muscles recovery time in order to actually grow, so by working out for hours a
day, every day of the week, you’re not going to become a bodybuilder!
So, when it comes to working hard, what does this actually entail? Like I said before – workout 3-5 times a week, have recovery
days, but remain consistent. You can’t expect to become a bodybuilder or build muscle if you work for a week, then spend 2 weeks
eating terribly and not training. Consistency is the key. Sure, you might see results in a short amount of time but you have to keep at it in
order to get to where you want to be.
The next bodybuilding myths surround nutrition. Some people think you have to eat high calorie diets, others think you need low calorie
diets, some people think you need a lot of fat, others think you don’t need any carbs… the list goes on. The truth is that you need to eat
a diet rich in protein but balanced with other nutrients. Protein is the number one nutrient for muscle building so if you aren’t eating
enough, you likely won’t build any muscle. You want to do what is right to get the best muscle gain.
And some people think that in order to become a bodybuilder, you have to go to a fancy gym and pay a lot of money for a trainer. Not
true! You can bulk up and build muscle in the comfort of your own home! With your own inexpensive weights, it is possible to get the
body that you desire. Don’t let anyone fool you into paying them a bunch of money to train you as you can get this information for free
in so many places!!
So, before you listen to these common misconceptions about bodybuilding and think that you have to take steroids, follow all kinds of
crazy diets, workout extremely hard every single day and pay lots of money to become a bodybuilder, do your own research and find out
exactly what it takes to build muscle and get the body you want. It’s not hard. It just takes commitment!
