Big Body Building Tips

The keys to success in bodybuilding workout exercises are available to everyone. However, they must be in place at the very start of your program.

Consider the following: How many times have you failed to make changes that you really wanted to make to your body? Five times? Twenty? Even more? When have you failed at losing weight? Or bulking up to get totally ripped? Perhaps your goal was to fit into your wedding dress just once more.

Believe me. I have been there and done that. In my late-30’s, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and recoiled in horror. I had flab hanging over my belt. My skin was pasty and pale. I couldn’t reach my knees, much less my toes. In a moment of pain, I decided to get into shape.

I told myself that a quick jog would be the perfect start to getting into shape. I went out and jogged for a 20 minutes — came back half dead, gasping for air, wheezing, and thinking that it would be a long time before I did that again.

Number One… The Inner Game

Tip number one has 4 components:

1) Patience. Face the fact that you can’t achieve ANY kind of breakthrough success overnight.

2) Confidence. Remember a time when you were 100%. Not necessarily about exercise. Just think of a time when you were confident about something. Get into the memory of what it was like to have that confidence. Feel it. What was it like when you were confident then? Do it now! As you get that same feeling back in your body, hold onto that feeling as you consider doing your bodybuilding.

3) Motivation. Remind yourself of all the reasons you want to do those bodybuilding workout exercises. Hint: don’t just connect with the negative ones — like “I don’t want to be fat anymore”, find the positive ones. For example, “I want to be slim and strong and healthy.” Moving away from “being fat” will start you up, but moving in the direction of your ideal body image will keep you going. Make sure you track your progress every day.

4) Determination. What happens when you fall off a horse? You get back on. Things will go better for you if you expect to fall off the horse because you’ll be expecting to get back on. It is wise to expect setbacks and be ready with a plan to deal with them. Determination is best set BEFORE you encounter the problems.

Tip number two… The Plan

About a year after my first jog that I decided to do it again. The best I could say about that year was that I hadn’t gained weight. I was watching what I was eating. I came at things a little bit more methodically this time. I applied myself to producing a road map for my conditioning. I did some research; I made tweaks in my schedule, and then dug in.

Success in your bodybuilding workout exercises depends on having a plan to fit it into your life. Without a plan, how will you know if you’ve succeeded? A plan is the measure with which you can assess your success.

The key thing about any plan is that the only real things you can plan are those things for which YOU ALONE are responsible. You cannot plan things that are out of your control. You can only plan your RESPONSES to the things out of your control.

Do what you have to do in order to plan for the long run. Ask yourself honest and probing questions:

How long is it realistically going to take you to get your body into your desired shape? If you follow the plan regularly, where will you be in a month? To get there, what would you have to do this week? And next week? Plan the long term; manage short term.

Tip number three… The Bodybuilding Workout Exercises themselves

I worked my plan: cardio on Monday, Wednesday and Friday; weight training on Tuesday and Thursday. I quit going out to lunch; only occasionally did I miss a workout. If I missed, I could choose to shrug it off or I could choose to make it up. MY choice. I have executed that plan for over 10 years now.

As to the actual exercises, I say you have to master what I call The Big Three. If you can get good at the dead lift, the bench press, and the squat, you’ll get maximum benefit in minimal time. Do these (and other exercises as well) using the outline below and you’ll build muscle insanely fast.

* You need to determine your maximum weight: this is an amount of weight that is a bit under what you CANNOT lift.

* Figure your sets such that you get at least of 12 reps per set.

* For ultimate effect, your third set should be impossible for you to complete. This is what muscle fatigue is all about. Break down the muscle fibers until they can’t continue. When the fibers heal, they will be stronger.

Today, anyone who sees me can tell that I’m strong and fit and flexible. A couple of years ago I added yoga to my regimen. And now I keep up with my little granddaughter better than her parents can.

If you take this to heart you’ll discover that the exercises are the least important of these tips. More than the exercises, it’s the mindset and the plan that will enable you to accomplish virtually anything. However, bodybuilding itself will require the exercises mentioned above.
