The Top 5 Female Bodybuilding Mistakes to Avoid

I wanted to take the time to talk to you about the top 5 female bodybuilding mistakes you might make. Avoiding these is very important to your success. This is a daily battle and you have to make sure you are the victor of each of them.

Mistake 1: Isolated Exercises Get Priority

When I goto the gym, so many people are doing isolated exercises and they’re such a waste of time. Why would people do these? I don’t know why, I wish I did, but the fact is the compound exercises are the ones that are going to give you far better results. That means doing squats and deadlifts will give better results than bicep curls.

Mistake 2: Not Eating Often Enough

A lot of people don’t want to change the timing of their diet. They’d rather stick with three meals a day or the dreaded 2 meals a day (breakfast skipped). Your body repairs muscle tissue over time, so it needs nutrients consistently. That means you should eat every few hours.

Mistake 3: Not Enough Sleep

You can’t bodybuild on 5-6hrs a night. It just doesn’t cut it. You have to get at least 8-9hrs a night because this is the biggest time for muscle repairs.

Mistake 4: Avoiding Fat

Society has made us believe that eating fat is bad. People think that there is a direct correlation between dietary fat and your body fat. This is totally false. By eating fat, you can increase your metabolism and end up burning more calories than you consume from the fat. Not to mention it plays a vital role in hormone production and other important body functions.

Mistake 5: Not Eating in the Evening

You should be eating in the evening because you need to have nutrients to repair muscle over your long sleep. The key is to eat a high fat, high protein combination of food. This way, the fat slows down the digestive process and you’ll get protein throughout the night.

Getting Ready For Female Bodybuilding Competitions

Getting ready for female bodybuilding competitions is one of the hardest things to do. As a bodybuilder, you’re used to going at your own pace and seeing what happens, but when it comes to a competition, you have a schedule to meet to be in your best physical shape. This is something you have to time, which is tough for a lot of people. If you have a competition 8 weeks from today, than 8 weeks from now you have to just arrive at that perfect place. Ending up there early is detrimental to your body since it’s hard to remain in that low body fat state for too long. Coming up late, means you won’t impress the judges. I’m going to show you what you’re going to need to do.

You have to figure out your calorie maintenance on a typical day at your currency working out. A lot of people don’t know what it is, so you’re at a disadvantage. The reason you have to know this is because you can calculate how much you need to eat (exactly) to meet the weight you want. Roughly 3500 calories make up a pound. If your maintenance calorie amount is 1600 calories/day and you want to lose one pound a week, that means you that means you need to cut out 3500 calories from your total weekly diet. That’s roughly 500 calories less. You have to know these things to keep things working on a schedule.

Another important part has to do with the day before a competition. You’re going to have to do things a little different. You want to be able to drop the water out of your body, so that you become practically all muscle. There are various techniques for this, one of which is drinking distilled water.

Extreme Muscle Hypertrophy For Females

Extreme muscle hypertrophy for females is a much more difficult challenge for many. As women, we don’t have as much testosterone as men do, which greatly reduces our ability for muscle hypertrophy. Just because we do lack this testosterone, doesn’t mean there are other ways to stimulate more muscle growth. I feel a lot of women out there assume that it’s just something they have to live with, but that’s not true. We can all have great results, it just takes a little hard work. I’m going to show you exactly what you’re going to need to do to have great success.

Extreme muscle hypertrophy has a few main components that need to be implemented:

  • Volume Cycling
  • Rest Time
  • Reps

The first one is volume cycling and this is a new idea for most people, but it is a primary training method in Eastern Europe. The idea is that over a week, you’re going to have a volume applied to your body through all your training. Volume is weight multiplied by rep. You want to cycle these volumes every few weeks. The first cycle should be a regular volume. The next volume cycle should be a heavy volume (more workouts). The last cycle should be a low volume (less workouts).

As for your rest time, your body recoups a lot in this time, so you can end up doing more. You should just have a week where you have a short 30 second break in between reps. This will really throw off your body.

The last part of extreme muscle hypertrophy is the amount of reps you do per set. I typically have my reps follow my volume changes. During my regular cycle, I do 6-8. During my high cycle, I do 8-10. Lastly, during my low cycle, I do 10-12.

Natural Bodybuilding For Women

Natural bodybuilding for women is a very obtainable goal. I know as a woman, I found my life getting dull. I was out of school and falling into my career. I started to notice that each day was exactly the same. I was doing the same things over and over again. This made me realize I was experiencing a problem a lot of other women are facing; the mundane. What I was missing was a challenge. I was missing a purpose. Bodybuilding gave me a huge challenge to try to overcome and it also gave me a purpose. Each day started to get exciting as I have things to do and stuff to achieve. If you’re interested in this I’m going to show you what you’re going to need to do.

Your diet is going to be the most important part of natural bodybuilding. Your diet has to be perfect. A lot of people have decent or good diets, but you need perfect. Just that little bit more you have to give can have amazing results. That means you need to sit down and plan everything out. It also means being disciplined enough to follow the plan. Your diet is what will make or break you and I certainly hope you plan and follow it.

In the gym is easier because you can do a variety of things to have good results. I’ve found over and over again, the same types of exercises produced more muscle than any others. These are the ones that use a lot of muscles in a set. Great examples are deadlifts and squats. If you look at around at the people in the gym doing these, you’ll notice they’re huge.

Female Muscle Bodybuilding

I’m here to talk to you about female muscle bodybuilding. This is a serious sport and you have to be very dedicated to do well in it. A lot of people just try it out for a few weeks and quit because there is absolutely no instant gratification. You’re not going to experience anything quickly. This is a long term sport. It’s like paying off debt, you don’t see the benefits until you’ve consistently paid it down for a while. You have to work hard, consistently for months to start seeing results. If you’re willing to put that effort in you’re going to have great success in this sport.

Diet is such an easy part of female muscle bodybuilding. It may seem a little complicated at first, but it becomes second nature very quickly. One of the easiest things you can do is start eating every 2-3hrs. This keeps your body with enough nutrients at all time to repair muscle. Your results will greatly improved if you start eating like this.

As for workouts, just stick with the more complex ones like squats, deadlifts and bench press. The reason is that they work far more muscles at the same time. This creates much more stress, which ultimately stimulates more muscle growth.

Female Bodybuilding Strategies For Beginners

If you’re new to bodybuilding, I’m going to share with you some of the strategies I’ve used to get me ready for a competition. I would like to first say that it really isn’t that hard to achieve success in this sport. The problem is that most people don’t have the dedication and will power to apply the necessary task to have success. If you have the ability to dedicate yourself to a simple and mundane process, please continue reading.

Diet is everything

Your diet is the most important thing you’ll ever do in bodybuilding. Most people think it’s the gym, but it’s not. I didn’t start to see great success until I put more time and effort into planning my diet, than I did at the gym. You need to get on the smaller meals more often diet. This is essential to speed up your metabolism. There is also the added benefit of maximizing muscle growth. The way you build muscle isn’t an instantaneous process. It happens over a period of time, so you need to have a constant flow of nutrients coming in to do the necessary repairs.

Sleep

I think sleep is the second most important thing. Most people would say that it would be workout, but I disagree. I’ve had pretty bad workouts, but did good because my diet and sleep were in order. You have to recognize the fact that your body does the main portion of body repair during your sleep time. Your body expects you to sleep for 8-9hrs a night, so if you’re not doing that than you’re missing out on a lot of potential muscle growth.

Intermittent Fasting

I wanted to talk to you about about healthy fasting to lose weight. There is a very new type of diet called intermittent fasting that has gotten a lot of attention lately due to a recent study that was performed. Just a simple test on this type of eating, just to see how people would behave, ended up showing a lot more than what was expected. All participants ended up losing weight. If these people had any sort of health issue, there health actually improved. This made the doctors conclude that eating like this would increase your lifespan. This is pretty exciting, so I decided to do a little investigating on this subject.

I think I need to explain how this healthy fasting to lose weight actually works. The idea is that for a 24hr period, you can eat anything you want, as much as you feel you need. Than the next 24hrs, you go on a fast where you just have water. That’s all there is too it. If you’re thinking that you’re essentially cutting your food intake in half, you’re wrong. During the eat days, people end up eating twice as much food which makes the calorie intake exactly the same before they started eating like this.

For me to figure out if this is healthy fasting to lose weight, I always test it against the more “natural” human. How would they have eaten? A caveman wouldn’t of eaten three meals a day, every single day. They would of has a sporadic intake of food. Some days they’d have a big catch, sometimes they wouldn’t.

I think it is fair to say this is a very natural and safe way to lose weight. If you’d like to learn more, check out Eat Stop Eat.

Bodybuilding For Females

Bodybuilding for females is a really great sport to get into. I highly recommend it to those of you that are experiencing a very mundane life. If things are getting dull because you’re doing the same old routine, it just doesn’t work. That’s why I got into this. I was doing the same things each day. I had no goals or ambitions. It was that I had no purpose. When I got into bodybuilding, I had big time goals to meet. Life turned into a challenge which livened it up.

Diet is going to be your 24hr a day thing. Food is everywhere and you really can’t hide from it. You have to learn to eat correctly and remain disciplined. Bodybuilding for females is tough because people are going to be eating the wrong foods right in front of you. You have to learn to eat what you’re supposed to eat regardless. It’s tough and you can blame these people for causing you to cheat, but it’s really your own fault. You have to be disciplined to follow your diet, regardless of what the outside world does.

When it comes to the gym, I think people put to much emphasis on time and weight. If you spend more than 60 minutes in the gym, you’re wasting your time. I only workout for around 30 minutes. You’re practically out of energy at that point, so there isn’t much point in continuing. The second thing is not focusing on how heavy the weights are. Focus on intensity. Focus on making yourself as tired as possible in a short period of time.

Training For Female Bodybuilders

I wanted to talk to you about training for female bodybuilders. There is a lot of great methods for this sport and you can have a lot of success if you do the right things. The reason so many people fail is because they don’t have the slightest clue on what the right things are. There is so much misinformation out there that you’ll never be able to figure out what is right. I’m going to take the time to show you exactly what you’re going to need to know.

I think a very effective and easy thing you can do is get more sleep. It’s really easy and I think most people are aware at how well this can help you, but most people don’t want to do it. You can survive on 5-6hrs a night as a regular person, but if you’re bodybuilding, you’re ripping muscle fibers. Your body needs time to repair itself and it does it while you sleep. That means you need a full 9hrs a night.

When it comes to the actual diet, it is important to get off the 3 meals a day, like everyone eats. There is a specific way to eat while bodybuilding and thats eating more often. Your body processes protein within 2-4hrs, so that means after that point there is no protein to repair muscles. By eating more often, you have protein always in your system.

Womens Body Building Strategies

I wanted to show you some womens body building strategies to help you be more successful in this sport. If you’re a woman that feels like life has turned into one long boring routine, than I can relate. I got into bodybuilding because I was doing the same thing everyday. I was so bored. I figured out the problem. I didn’t have a purpose. I didn’t have a challenge. I needed something to drive me rather than doing the same thing. If you’re a person like this and than this is a great sport to get into.

The gym has a wide variety of exercises to select, but you have to use the right ones to get the results. That’s why I’m going to show you these womens body building strategies because they work. Essentially you have isolated workouts and compound ones. Most people end up doing the isolated ones, but they aren’t effective. Compound ones like deadlifts and squats are very good, so you should be doing those. They stimulate far more muscle growth.

As for your diet, you need to start eating smaller meals more often. This will give your body the nutrients it needs at any given time to repair muscle tissue. Your results will greatly improve if you implement this type of eating.
