Bodybuilding is an exciting and very addictive engagement once you get into it for good. The fun, thrill, and adventure are very striking to a fanatic and it ends up being a lifelong commitment. In fact, there is no sense of building muscles with so much sacrifices and effort only to stop after achieving the objective. The moment you seize your workouts, the muscle gains will be lost in bouts of body fat accumulated and the once defined and toned physique will loose out to shapelessness. Bodybuilding must be viewed as a lifelong commitment that keeps an individual in the path of self-development. A bodybuilder ascribes to a particular lifestyle that places importance to particular interests and commitments. It has to be integrated into ones every day life and become a part of an individual’s personal identity.
Techniques in bodybuilding allow the bodybuilder to stimulate a single body part from all possible different angles using a variety of exercises while not overextending either the duration or intensity of the workout. The result of such a workout routine is a proportional development of the body bulk and general symmetry. An ideal post-exhaust technique should maximally use weights during the compound exercise sets. This is to move fast and repetitively to activate all fast-twitch muscle fibers. These are the ones that bear the greatest growth potential. The second exercise should be done with a lighter weight at a controlled tempo basically emphasizing on tension. A typical day could involve each body part going through five compound sets with five reps done for each exercise.
Such compound sets may include chest compound sets, , 20° incline dumb bell flyers, back compound sets, lying dumb bell curls, pull-ups, stiff-arm pull downs, compound sets, dips, shoulder compound sets, 20° incline dumb bell presses barbell cleans and presses, standing dumb bell laterals, triceps lying triceps extension, biceps compound sets, drag curls among others. These will suitably be followed up by sit down triceps or biceps lifts, stretches, dead lifts, squats, rubber band pulls, or any other light exercise that is dedicated solely towards a single muscle or muscle group. The body can handle these simple, light, slow, and short-lived post-exhaust exercises as a way of cooling off after a strenuous compound workout.
What you read changes gradually to reflect where your passion lies and what you listen to also follows suit. Adaptations make your life a bodybuilding lifestyle. Bodybuilding is not a one-day venture but a progressive journey that starts and keeps going in pursuit of maximal physique refinement and development. After achieving the initial objectives of starting a body building program, you will find yourself setting even higher goals and pursuing them with the same passion. The bar keeps being raised as you progress in a bodybuilding program, what you thought as the ultimate fades in importance to you once you achieved it because there is always a better point that you would like to take your body for further exercise.
