Some small facts that many bodybuilders and commentators have always ignored continue to generate grounds for debates across the professional and fitness divide. If you need to gain strength, you have to lift more weights now. If you don't, the only thing you are going to be doing is lamenting about yourself or tearing down on successful bodybuilders, accusing them of using supplements. Success in bodybuilding does not come as a result of buying your way into fitness and muscle maximization. It is a commitment to go the extra mile.
You may not have thought about it, but the reason you always seem to lag behind your friends when reps are being counted is lack of appreciation of joints as the centers of power distribution for a bodybuilder. Glucosamine and collagen fibers can make your joints have the ability to endure the heaviest weight ever lifted. It may sound far-fetched but this is the plain truth. If you have always told yourself that you are genetically challenged, this is a good way to set yourself on the path to restoration of your glory. Pain has no cure in bodybuilding. There is no doubt about that. If you hate pain and endurance, then bodybuilding is not for you.
Joint pain is a sign of lack of the proper body anchorage and nourishment. Learn how to differentiate between this kind of pain and the constructive pain that is the result of having put in place the right strategies for our routine. Joint muscle may prevent you from taking advantage of the full range of motion that your body needs in order to create success in bodybuilding. Eating foods rich in calcium will sort out this problem.
Sometimes, bodybuilders get into show business and it might be very hard for you not to let the pride get into your head. If it does, you may need to tame it through conscious means or else you are going to find yourself losing rather than gaining. Yes, it has happened before where some internationally acclaimed bodybuilders found out that the fame they had acquired was too much and could be used for commercial exploits. Once this happens, you will realize that you no longer have time for bodybuilding.
Ensure that your entire life as a bodybuilder is made of turbulence and not a smooth-sailing program. Give yourself limits that your friends will look at with their heads shaking. The sacrifices that have to be made for there to be success cannot be quantified by any writer. However, the wise bodybuilder always takes time to find some words of counsel before getting into the disorderly world of bodybuilding.
Count calories if you are a beginner. Learn to maintain some sense of determination and a sense of purpose. You have to appear to be a transformer and not an onlooker. If you feel that taking part in a bodybuilding contest is what you need in order to prove yourself in front of the whole world, do it. If your caloric restrictions have borne fruits, take the weight fight to the next level. This is what success in bodybuilding is all about.
