Body Building Tips For Begginers, How To Start A Weight Training Program

By Ricardo d Argence

Are your friends and family noticing measurable changes in your physique? Have you added at least a couple of inches or more to all of your major muscle groups? Are you moving poundages on your squat, deadlift, bench press, row (and every other major compound exercise) that all feel substantially heavy for your body?

If the answer is not "yes" to all of the previous questions, then you really don't need to be concerned about the insignificant details of your body.

Eliminate these types of questions from your mind until after you have a considerable amount of muscle mass and are no longer in your bodybuilding "youth".

What is the reason? Don't let trivial matters divert your attention from your immediate and important task. What is the crucial thing to accomplish at this time? The goal is to place as much muscle and strength on your body as possible.

Don't worry about matching your biceps to your triceps, and forget about matching your chest to your back. It's simply not worth worrying about these issues until later on, after you've significantly thickened up your entire body.

If you have been training consistently for less than a year and are still a beginner then you should stop obsessing over details. You should rather focus your attention on the most pressing and fundamental problems. Move to a good weight training routine and be very determined to stick with it.

Write down every single workout that you perform and place every ounce of energy you can muster on adding as much weight to the bar on a consistent basis as you possibly can. Grind out all of the biggest, most difficult compound exercises and blast through those discomfort zones with passion and intensity.

Start off to self cook in the kitchen by yourself on each and every day, every week, every month and try to prepare properly at least 5 or 6 balanced muscle building meals.

Take your supplements when necessary, get rest, and drink plenty of water. Another way to say it is: PAY YOUR DUES IN THE BEGINNING!

If you're in this for the long haul (and you should be, as there are no temporary fixes to be had here), then get yourself on to the most efficient path possible. And the most efficient path possible is the one that focuses on the fundamentals first and the details later.

You should bring this kind of mentality to your bodybuilding program. Developing your body is a progressive, step-by-step process: you shouldn't try to fine-tune your physique without first developing adequate foundational muscle, just as you wouldn't try to perform a guitar solo without first knowing the basic chords.

Building muscle does not require a degree in rocket-science but it does require consistent willpower and determination. It's not until you've dug deep enough within yourself that you will have the benefits of a drastically improved and impressively-muscular body. Stop obsessing. Go to the gym and start your workout! - 16887
