Three Incredible Tips For Bodybuilding Workout Exercises
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
Everyone has to have certain things in life to success. The keys to success in your bodybuilding workout exercises have to be in place long before you start to flex your muscles.
So, I want to know... how many times have you failed at losing weight? Or putting yourself on a workout regimen? Or even only wanting to fit in your wedding dress again.
I know what that kind of failure is like. One day in my late-30's I had a horrifying look at myself in the mirror. Muffin top hanging over my belt. Pasty and pale skin. I was barely able to see my toes, let alone touch them. I resolved in that moment to get myself 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
There are four components here:
1) Patience. Common sense tells you that you can't achieve breakthrough success overnight.
2) Confidence. I know you know what it's like to have confidence about something. It doesn't matter what it is. Get into the memory of having confidence. Feel what it was like to have that confidence then. Do it now! Let your body get that same feeling back. Hold onto that feeling while you consider doing your bodybuilding.
3) Motivation. Call to mind all the reasons you want to start doing those bodybuilding workout exercises. I suggest that you don't just connect with the negative ones -- like "I don't want to be fat anymore". It's important to find the positive ones. You might say, "I want to be slim and strong and healthy." If you move away from "being fat" you'll get going, but by concentrating on moving toward your ideal body image you will keep going even when you're not so fat any more. Track your progress every day.
4) Determination. Expect to fall off the horse; and expect to get back on. Anticipate setbacks and be ready with a plan to deal with them. Set your determination 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 will it take you realistically to get your body into your desired shape? If you were to follow the plan regularly, where will expect to be in a month? When you get there, what would you have to do this week to make it happen? And what about next week? Plan for the long term; manage on the 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.
* Determine your maximum weight: this is an amount that is just 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.
Now, I'm strong and fit and flexible. I added yoga to my regimen a couple of years ago. And I keep up with my granddaughter better than her parents can.
In many ways, the exercises are the least important of these tips. With the right mindset, and the right plan, you will be able to accomplish virtually anything. However, bodybuilding itself will require the exercises mentioned above.
