My son has been Bodybuilding since he was quite young of his own accord, he always wanted to be buff.
Even before he had any weights I would see him lifting weighted boxes, bags or even big water bottles.
It was certainly his dream and his consistent effort and determination that has got him where he is today.
He is now 23 years old and has a body that often turns peoples heads.
He has achieved such success through continually maintaining his own training routine year after year.
He has learnt many tips and hints from books and magazines, plus he has also completed a couple of fitness training courses and he has also been lucky enough to know and get tips from some professional bodybuilders.
The three most important points to remember and always maintain and be aware of to have success with bodybuilding are so very simple and often overlooked.
They are to Eat, Drink and Train.
Your body simply can not grow if you don't take in enough of the correct food and fluid, training alone will not give you the rewards you seek without giving your body the correct amount of nutrition for it to grow.
He has learnt and it has been proven by many others, that you don't need to train for hours a day to get the desired results.
It is in fact possible to train to much and this is officially called "Over Training".
If you over train you will end up doing yourself an injury, one possibly as serious as tearing a muscle and that can put your progress back months.
Some traditional training strategies like volume training is really quite dangerous and pretty much ineffective, so the costs are not just physical, but a waste of your precious time.
It is important to your success to utilise infrequent and shorter high intensity sessions with your weight training and follow each training session with the required amount of time to recover.
You need to put a stop to over-training and realise that the two main points of the training are: 1.
the intensity of the training exercises and 2.
the recovery time after the training.
If you have some or any of the following symptoms, then take a look at your program now as you may be over-training.
These symptoms include: reoccurring cold or illness, low immune system, sore muscles or joints, loss of appetite, fatigue, insomnia or uninspired to train at the gym.
If you have any of the above, do yourself and your body a favour and review your training system now.
You will have success if you follow the rules and never give up.
Good luck.
