2. 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 peoples experience. Since it
became a sport in the 1970's more and more people want
to develop their body's and unlock its full potential in
achieving not only just a massive body but a work of art!
4. To be a good body builder you will need to focus on more
than just lifting weights. Set serious goals on what you
wish to achieve out of your body building. 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.
6. 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.
8. Rest is equally if not more important for body building
after and during 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 fibres 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 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.
10. 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 lose 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.
12. 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.
