When I first started training back in 1985, the first thing I got was a pair of gloves. I soon found out how important they were the day I forgot them. The next thing was a belt. It was just a plain hand-me-down belt and it was stained with the sweat of another person. But I loved that thing because it meant I was serious about training. We all think we’re big time when we first start training. We have all the enthusiasm in the world, but don’t yet have the strength and development to back it up. That’s when…
Bodybuilding is a process that has attracted nearly every member of the society irrespective of his temporary or permanent condition, age, just to mention but a few.

One of such ways is by helping them do things normal people do but in a safer way to meet their special needs, bodybuilding being one of the things.

It’s quite possibly our worst fear. It’s the one thing that makes us sweat even when we haven’t lifted a weight. It’s lack of motivation. Sometimes an injury can spur a dip in motivation, or maybe the sheer number of years we’ve been at the iron game. Whatever the cause, it’s a drag to fight a lack of motivation. Short of injury, the single biggest reason we lose our motivation to work out, diet or do cardio, is because we’ve been doing what we’re doing for far too long. Okay, so maybe not for too long, but too stale for…
Finding the ideal number of minutes to spend on cardio each week is an individual practice which will never be the same for two different athletes. Goals, experience, and levels of muscle and body fat will all influence how much time we should spend on that elliptical or treadmill each week. Let’s look at a few factor and techniques to reach the ideal number. Creating a baseline Start with the ‘norm’ for training, and then consider changing it based upon your own specific needs. The average amount of cardiovascular training required should be 30 minutes, four days per week. Make…
Whether preparing for an upcoming show, or just trying to keep body fat low, cardiovascular training is an important part of all bodybuilders’ routines. When trying to add mass, cardio should be done at a minimum, but for health reasons it should never be completely deleted. Cardio strengthens the cardiovascular and respiratory system, and gives you a stronger heart and lungs. It’s often hard to get to the gym four or five times per week to train with weights. It’s even harder to make the trip 5 times a week for cardio, especially if you (wisely) decide to do cardio…
1. Getting pleasure from your discomfort and pain One of the main ways that bodybuilders thrive is the ability that they have to revel in their pains simply because they have been able to get past a certain weight level and thus assured themselves that they are stronger and more ready to get onto the next weight barrier. This is one of the most satisfactory feelings that you can have as a bodybuilder. Though the road to the top is painful and the fact that you will be grimacing a lot you should take comfort in the fact that the…
In bodybuilding the emphasis is very much on the amount of muscle mass that you have in the body. A good illustration is seen almost on a daily basis. Suppose there are two gym partners, one who does the real iron pumping while the other is into aerobics. When these two guys step into a room all the gazes will be on the bigger guy simply because of his muscle mass. The other guy, though physically very fit and shapely will not elicit as much attention as his partner. So, what can be done to add to muscle mass? These…

Most of the time, bodybuilders like to train with a variety of movements in order to hit each muscle group from a variety of angles. This assures that the highest possible number of fibers is recruited, and that maximum growth is achieved. When it comes to calves, however, most bodybuilders aren’t too concerned with variety of angles or machine selection. Much of the time, especially in crowded gyms, we complete calves at the end of leg day by limping to the nearest available calf machine and knocking out a few quick sets, before looking for our car keys and the…
