Bodybuilding and common Training Errors
It is a proven fact that our post training body has the ability to synthesis more protein. It is also a fact that our muscle tissue after training is a lot more sensitive to insulin and that the simple carbs tend to stock themselves up with glycogen rather than replenishing our body fat levels.
Just this useful information has given the insight to many bodybuilders to get into a routine of eating after training and cutting back on basic nutrient requirements at other times. The fact is that you need carbs a long time prior to training just to be able to complete the session and you require a high blood pool of aminos whilst training, which will have come from protein intake literally hours before training begins.
Make sure you eat those radical nasty goodies prior to training though so they are actually present and working in your blood stream at the point of greatest oxidative stress (during and straight after training) rather than having them hanging around in your stomach digesting while your over trained body is shouting out for help after training.
The same eating routine should be maintained throughout the day. If you are going to be sat by a desk for three hours then reduce on carbs and take in more protein. If you are about to do punishing leg routines then take on more complex carbs, a protein mix, lots of fluids and antioxidants even before you leave for the gym. You should also follow up supplementing your hard training with post workout specialist nutrition but only as part of a well thought out nutrition strategy taking into account your upcoming requirements.
It is a rare occurrence that a competing bodybuilder admits to being outclassed by his competitors. You will normally hear a whole range of comments and conspiracy theories about the judges or the organisers. Competitors will think of virtually anything as an excuse for their own under performing flabby physiques that couldn't win the show.
This of course is the result of how bodybuilding is actually judged which could be improved enormously. The judges should be obliged to take down written notes that broke down the score according to each physique. These figures could then be scrutinised by competitors after the event so they could see what had been lacking. A judge will always refer to a poor diet from what he has seen, and this would help competitors a great deal in preparation for future events.
Bodybuilders are renowned for fooling themselves into thinking that they are actually making real progress. The reason being is that this sport has nothing to offer as far as a true guide is concerned for judging muscle gains. So what should a bodybuilder do to compensate this?...Well a cool way to see your own gains is to have a couple of photos taken each year in the same light with the same pose. That way you can keep track better on physique and don't forget to do a fat content test as well.
Just to sum up then, lean mass gains and/or body fat losses lead to muscular girth increases although the waist will hardly change. If can't manage to loose fat or gain muscle, the question arises... "What the hell are you training for?" Bodybuilding means lean and large muscles, so if you aren't making any progress then you are not bodybuilding and that is what it is all about.
It always annoys me when I hear this and know straight away that the competitor has tripped up on nutrition and training and that' the real reason behind zero gains. You won't often see on a bodybuilding contest judging sheet that a competitor has lost marks for being too muscular or lean, so what are the main objectives? Well I'll tell you...ALWAYS more muscle and better condition.
The majority of bodybuilders are virtually insane. As defined by Albert Einstein "Insanity is repeating the same thing over and over and expecting different results". This is a perfect description for how bodybuilders consistently eat and train. You will quite often come across bodybuilders in the gym who never seem to change, but who are quite happy to carry on with the same training and nutrition routines.
If you don't seem to be progressing in the gym, then consider a drastic change in something now or you could end up looking the same five years down the road. The most likely bet is that your training routine needs some changes made to it, but if you have been giving it your best for a while then have a serious look at your eating habits.
You might also have heard some idiot saying that they just haven't got the genes for bodybuilding. This is a really worrying sign and the truth is that they just haven't got a clue on how to train, eat correctly or recover properly. So how on earth can they possibly reach their maximum possible gains regardless of their size? So let me just resize that again, I mean size doesn't matter when it comes to being able to make muscle gains.
