Bodybuilding Routines - Bodybuilding and Training Errors (Part 2)

It is a proven fact that our post training body has the ability to synthesis more protein. It is also a fact that our muscle tissue after training is a lot more sensitive to insulin and that the simple carbs tend to stock themselves up with glycogen rather than replenishing our body fat levels.

Such valuable knowledge has really assisted many bodybuilders get positive results from training. It is important to eat mainly post training in preference to other times of the day. Just to confirm this new learned knowledge, carbs are needed well before training begins just to get through the session anyway and an important requirement during training is a high blood pool of aminos which will be present through proteins consumed hours before.

Another important point is that you make sure that you only eat those radical power bars before training begins so that they are already present and functioning in the blood stream when the level of oxidative stress is at its highest; (which is during and immediately following training), and not having them hanging around in the stomach digesting away while your torn apart body is just pleading for help.

The same eating routine should be maintained throughout the day. If you are going to be sat by a desk for three hours then reduce on carbs and take in more protein. If you are about to do punishing leg routines then take on more complex carbs, a protein mix, lots of fluids and antioxidants even before you leave for the gym. You should also follow up supplementing your hard training with post workout specialist nutrition but only as part of a well thought out nutrition strategy taking into account your upcoming requirements.

It doesn't happen very often that a competing bodybuilder owns up to being outclassed by his fellow competitors. Nine times out of ten you will hear all sorts of back stabbing comments and low life conspiracy theories regarding the judges or the event organizers. Competitors will come up with virtually anything as an excuse for their own pathetic looking physiques that just weren't up for it on the big day.

This of course is the result of how bodybuilding is actually judged which could be improved enormously. The judges should be obliged to take down written notes that broke down the score according to each physique. These figures could then be scrutinized by competitors after the event so they could see what had been lacking. A judge will always refer to a poor diet from what he has seen, and this would help competitors a great deal in preparation for future events.

Bodybuilders are renowned for fooling themselves into thinking that they are actually making real progress. The reason being is that this sport has nothing to offer as far as a true guide is concerned for judging muscle gains. So what should a bodybuilder do to compensate this?...Well a cool way to see your own gains is to have a couple of photos taken each year in the same light with the same pose. That way you can keep track better on physique and don't forget to do a fat content test as well.

So in a nutshell, gains in lean mass and/or losses in body fat create muscular girth growth although the waist won't really change much. If aren't able to loose fat or gain muscle, you probably might want to think "Why the hell am I training?" If you look up Bodybuilding in the dictionary it says "building lean and large muscles", so if you don't manage to do that then you aren't actually bodybuilding and that is the name of the game, right?

Every time I hear this I know immediately that that competitor is at a dead end in his / her training and nutrition and has stopped making gains. How many times have you seen a judging sheet in a bodybuilding contest where a competitor was marked down for carrying too much muscle and being too lean? So what must your objectives be? More muscle? Always. Better condition? Always.

The majority of bodybuilders are virtually insane. As defined by Albert Einstein "Insanity is repeating the same thing over and over and expecting different results". This is a perfect description for how bodybuilders consistently eat and train. You will quite often come across bodybuilders in the gym who never seem to change, but who are quite happy to carry on with the same training and nutrition routines.

If you are not making gradual progress in the gym then you need to change something or you will look the same in five years as you do right now. Chances are pretty good that what you need to change is your training, if you've been at it long enough to have been stale for years then you had better have a good handle on your nutrition.

Something else you might hear in the gym is some dude saying that he just hasn't got the genetic makeup for bodybuilding. Well let me tell you, this guy just has no clue on training, eating properly or recovering and how the hell can he possibly reach his maximum possible gain? Well let me just rephrase that again, I mean size just makes no difference at all when it comes to making big muscle gains.
