You might think of bodybuilding programs in the form of how you can attain the same result by doing the same thing in two different ways. One of the ways could be effective while the other could be ineffective for you. For instance, you can let the weights rule your body and make you feel the movement of muscles as they gather momentum. With time, the routines become comfortable, making you become a better bodybuilder. Make the weights become part of your routine and you will be on your way to bodybuilding glory.
You should be able to get used to the whole range of the problems associated with the gym and all that thrives around it. Soreness of the hands may be something to worry you and your colleagues. This is especially your colleagues. You may be surprised to find them in shock after finding out that you did some workouts on the treadmill yesterday. Meeting you on your way to the gym is a different story altogether.
You may have enough time to explain things and clear the air yourself about so many issues. The experienced bodybuilder is never left out of the warm-up requirement. There is no other way of making the muscles become flooded in enough blood that will take care of all the metabolic functions than doing a good warm-up. The connective tissues of the bodybuilder need to be alerted before the real weight training procedures begin. As you increase the sets you are going through, you also need to keep adding more weights. This process is called pyramid training. Pyramid is a very effective way of measuring your progress. The bench press depends entirely on pyramid training for progress.
Cheating is a bad habit in bodybuilding. Nevertheless, there are certain few occasions where cheating is a good strategy of increasing the number of workouts you can handle within the bodybuilding program. The contradiction arises when bodybuilders try to create a positive impression with regard to this one exception. The problem comes in because this does not happen as planned. In the end the bodybuilder ends up pushing the weight out of its hook and causing accidents.
Strict techniques should be followed if any for of cheating is to be used by the bodybuilder. If you are planning to change workouts, have a break of a day in between the workouts. Ensure that you are in the spirit of switching between exercises very regularly. This means that if you have decided on the chest today, don’t do it the same way all the time. If you have been in love with the flat bench for a week, fall for the incline bench for some time. Make a rotation of all your body parts and make this a regular exercise for as long as you are a bodybuilder.
If you feel like you had been over trained, you may have to rest for two days. In the case of aerobics, ensure they are light. Complicated aerobics are not ideal for a bodybuilder. Let them last for periods of not more than 45 minutes. If you have to do those aerobics at all, which is not such bad thing, do them after all the other exercises have been completed.
