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.

If you're still in your bodybuilding "youth" and don't already have a considerable amount of muscle mass to show for your efforts, I would strongly suggest taking these types of questions and eliminating them from your mind until you do.

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.

That's right; forget about the nitty-gritty details of whether your biceps match your triceps or whether your chest is on par with your back. These are issues that you can worry about later on, but until you've thickened up your entire body as a whole to a significant degree, it's simply not worth worrying about.

If you're still a beginner and have been training consistently for less than a year, then stop obsessing over the details. Instead, place all of your focus on the most basic and obvious issues at hand. Get yourself onto a sensible, rational weight training schedule and stick to it religiously.

Keep a record of all of your workouts that you do and try as hard as you can to consistently add as much weight as possible to the bar. Blast through the discomfort zones and difficult compound exercises with passion and intensity.

Get yourself into the kitchen and pack in at least 5 or 6 properly balanced muscle building meals every day of the week, every week of the month and every month of the year.

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 must bring this mentality into your bodybuilding program. You don't want to attempt to fine-tune and balance your physique until you have a considerable muscle foundation to work with. You can't play that awesome guitar solo before you know basic chords, after all.

Building muscle is not rocket-science, but it is a task that requires consistent willpower and determination. And until you've been "in the trenches" and have earned yourself an impressive and muscular body. Stop over-analyzing. Get into the gym and train!
