Bodybuilding Tips:
- Eating regularly and correctly is absolutely essential for getting a true bodybuilder physique.
- Take bodybuilding supplements (high in protein and carbohydrate).
- Never allow yourself to go hungry. Eat snacks in between main meals.
- Ideal : 5-7 small meals per day. If building muscle mass, include weight gain drinks.
- Macronutrient Intake
Protein intake - 30-35%
Carbohydrate - 40-45%
Fats - 20-25% - Drink plenty of liquid. Try to take in 12-15 glasses of water per day in summers and atlest 7-10 glasses of water per day in winter. Drink a protein shake 1½ - 2 hours before going to bed. Try to keep stress level in check by learning how to relax (Tip: Try yoga, meditation).
- Alternate two weeks of high intensity muscle strength training with 2 to 3 weeks for lower intensity muscle endurance workout to promote both growth and strength.
- The key to your muscle workout is variation. This is the best way to avoid burnout and overtraining.
- Crosstraining is an ideal way to promote cardiovascular endurance, including walking, running, jogging, biking, stair climbing, swimming, etc.
- Perform whole body muscle workout atleast once a week.
- Variation is the key to success. Increase and decrease intensity with exercise sets, reps, weight and rest - this is valid for muscle and cardio training.
- Use full range of motion and alternate reps by working slowly, moderately and then with fast pace.
- Cardiotrain with heart rate 65-75 % of max heart rate.
- Proper rest is essential to enhance and then maintain your natural advantage.
- Make sure that the train body part is fully recovered before you retrain.
- Protein intake should be equal to 1gm per pound of body weight.
- Carbohydrate intake should be relatively high 60% of total calorie intake.
- Limit fats to 10-20%.
- Too much too fast is no-no! It could lead to injuries, overtraining and burnout (muscle and tendons are at risk).
- Paitience and discipline are neccessary to reach and maintain goals.
