Bodybuilding and Training Errors (Part 2)

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.

Such valuable knowledge has really assisted many bodybuilders get positive results from training. It is important to eat mainly post training in preference to other times of the day. Just to confirm this new learnt knowledge, carbs are needed well before training begins just to get through the session anyway and an important requirement during training is a high blood pool of aminos which will be present through proteins consumed hours before.

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 doesn't happen very often that a competing bodybuilder owns up to being outclassed by his fellow competitors. Nine times out of ten you will hear all sorts of back stabbing comments and low life conspiracy theories regarding the judges or the event organisers. Competitors will come up with virtually anything as an excuse for their own pathetic looking physiques that just weren't up for it on the big day.

This is down to how bodybuilding is currently judged which without a doubt could be improved big time. The judges should be forced to write down notes that made quite clear the break down of the score for each physique. These documents could then be at the disposal of the competitors following the event so they could see for themselves what they were lacking. A judge will always highlight poor diet from what he has seen, and this would help bodybuilders prepare better for any future competition.

You can always rely on a bodybuilder to mislead himself on what his own growth progress really is. Unfortunately the answer to this problem is a real concern for the sport as no actual guide exists for judges to at act upon regarding muscle gains. A good tip on training to overcome this void in bodybuilding competition is to have a couple of photos taken each year of your best pose in similar light conditions to keep a personal track on growth and don't forget to thrown in a fat content test for good measure.

In short if you are gaining lean mass and or losing body fat your muscular girths will increase whilst your waist will remain much the same. If you are not losing fat or gaining muscle then what the heck are you training for? Bodybuilding is a sport of large, lean muscles so if you are not getting bigger and / or leaner you are not succeeding in bodybuilding. Forget all the nonsense about "increasing density" or "quality" or "having enough size".

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 are not making gradual progress in the gym then you need to change something or you will look the same in five years as you do right now. Chances are pretty good that what you need to change is your training, if you've been at it long enough to have been stale for years then you had better have a good handle on your nutrition.

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.
