Beginner Bodybuilder Fundamental Tips!!!!
Man I can remember when I was first starting out in the gym and I didn’t know a single thing lol!!! There were very few resources back then and we mainly relied on trial and error to figure out what works and what doesn’t. Sure there were magazines, but much of the information in those pages were not telling the whole truth or were geared more toward the seasoned bodybuilder. So, there are 10 tips that will help a beginner make the most amount of progress during their formidable years and take advantage of the gains that can be made with the right tactics.
Just eat a lot of food and don’t worry about food sources. Now I am not saying just eat whatever, but don’t focus so much on what you are eating and just eat a lot of food!!!
Aim for 1 gallon of water each day. This will ensure that your body can transport all the nutrients consumed and this will also aid in teh digestion of all the food that is required to grow.
Focus on getting stronger. Heavy weights is the name of the game!!! You will not get big unless you lift heavy, I do not care what anyone says, big weights leads to big muscles.
Don’t neglect cardio. Now you do not need to get carried away, but you still can’t neglect this. 20-30 minutes a few times as week goes a long way.
Stick to big, compound lifts and sprinkle in accessories to fill the gaps. Leg press, squats, presses, pullups and rows need to be the priority. Get stronger on these and watch your body grow
Don’t worry so much about arms, they will grow as you grow as a whole. If you want to include an arm day that is fine, but prioritize the bigger body parts and growing as a unit
Train only 5 days a week. Trust me this is enough and if you are lifting with intent and intensity you will need the 2 days off., Remember your body grows when you recover
prioritize sleep, 7-8 hours consistently because again your body grows during recovery.
Do not focus on your body-weight!! This is so against the grain, but focus on getting stronger and do not obsess over your weight. If you are following these tips you will grow!!!!
Enjoy it!! I mean this should be fun and fall in love with the process above all else!!
