Female Bodybuilding Blog

I thought it would be interesting if I made a post on the things that I did that were mistakes. I know a lot of people out there are making mistakes because I see it in the gym everyday. I used to do things that I knew were wrong, but I did it just because everyone else was doing it. It’s funny how there is a pull on your thoughts when other people are doing something and you’re sort of the lone person that understands it is wrong.

1. Getting Addicted

This happens to a lot of people. They just really get into it. The reason it gets addictive is that your body will produce adrenalin while you workout and it produces quite an addictive feeling. Obviously the problem with this is overdoing it and burning out. When you’re addicted, you just want to workout more often and longer. You run the risk of hurting yourself.

As for burning out, this sort of goes with the whole emotional roller coaster of bodybuilding. You’re going to put all this emotional energy into your workouts and when you hit a low, you’re just going to crash and burn. It’s sort of like those people on January 1st that are going to lose weight. The first week of the year at the gym is packed. Everyone is full of life and ready to put their new years resolution into reality. Well, as each week goes by, less and less people come. This is what a burn out causes.

2. Sit ups and Crunches

I’ve expressed and I hope you know, these are probably the most useless exercises you’ll end up doing. They don’t produce the results you want, they don’t eliminate the fat on the stomach, but you see a ton of people at the gym doing it.

I would do these even though I knew they didn’t produce results. I felt like I was a hypocrite at the gym doing them too. I guess that is the pull of collective thinking and you really do have to watch out for it. The majority of what people do at the gym is probably wrong.

3. No Squats or Deadlifts

I went for the longest time without doing these two exercises. I’d have excuses like my legs are already big to begin with. I didn’t realize how important these exercises were. They will help your entire body, not just your legs. If you’re not doing these now, you should definitely start!!!

I thought I’d share a few diet tips with you to help you get maximum muscle growth. I firmly believe in diet as the most important part of this process because I lived it. I do the same exercises at the gym, no matter if I’m putting on muscle or taking off fat. The only thing that changes during that time is my diet. I think that should really illustrate the importance of a proper diet.

Tip 1: Plan It Out

The worst thing you can do is just try to wing it. I know people that don’t have a plan and they walk into the kitchen when they’re hungry. What do you think the odds are of making the best decision while you’re hungry? Not very good. It’s sort of like going to the grocery store on an empty stomach. You’re supposed to go to the grocery store with a list, so you get what you need and nothing more.

The same thing needs to be applied with a diet. At the minimum, you should know exactly what you’re going to eat the next day. Nothing should be a surprise.

Tip 2: Routine

I typically eat the same meals everyday, except for dinner. Routine is an amazing and powerful force you can take advantage of. It sort of fits in with the role of planning, but the more consistent you behave, the more likely you’ll continue to act that way.

Studies have shown that world class athletes that actually have the lowest body fat percentage actually eat the same things everyday.

Tip 3: Limit Variety

A lot of people don’t like this rule because we all like variety. The problem with variety is the thinking that comes along with it. I usually don’t like to condemn the mind, but when you have all this choice, you have to think about what you’re going to do. A lot of the time you’re just not in the mood to think and that leads to you cheating.

If you just keep things simple, with a plan to develop a routine and limit the amount of choices you have, you’ll increase your success with your diet and that leads to you maximizing your muscle growth.

So I take it you’re looking to prepare for a female bodybuilding competition. Well, I certainly wish you luck and hope you’ve already been training very exclusively like this. When it comes to the competition, your goal changes from putting on a good amount of muscle without too much fat, to taking off as much fat as possible while maintaining muscle. The key to this whole process is definition and that comes by literally removing the fat off your body.

As you can see, the fat is trimmed completely off and it exposes the muscles. That’s what the judges are looking for. They want to see how much you can show as just muscle. That’s what it’s all about. You don’t actually have to put on a lot of muscle because when you’re that defined it makes you look like you have much more of it.

To actually to the female bodybuilding competition, you’re going to have time this all out. You can’t say at that low of a body fat percentage for a long period of time. It’s can be unhealthy if you’re like that for more than a few days. That’s why the timing is so important. You have to plan out two months in advance when you’ll reach that state and you have to make sure it lands perfectly for the competition.

Always plan it out. You have to do it because it’s the only way you’ll get it to work. I wish you the best of luck at your competition and hope you come back a winner.

I wanted to talk to you about female bodybuilder muscle. A lot of women don’t think it is possible to really get the muscle they need to be competitive. I think that is quite an ignorant attitude because it may a more difficult process than it is for men, but with a little hard work a dedication you can achieve it. I really wish most women wouldn’t get down about it because it doesn’t get you anywhere. I know we all get in those emotional downs and if you’re just going to wallow in self pity, you’re just going to extend the problem. Winners are the ones that keep themselves going, even if they feel down. Female bodybuilder muscle is achievable, if you’re willing to bust your butt for it.

Obviously the best thing you can do is work a routine. Routines are considered the fundamentally the most important thing in determining what you’ll do tomorrow. Think of it like brushing your teeth. Everyone has this routine. It doesn’t matter if you’re having a high for the day or you’re having a crashing low, you’re probably going to brush your teeth. This is the type of thing we want to develop. We want you to do the necessary actions of bodybuilding, no matter how you’re feeling. We want it to be a routine that doesn’t require you to do any thinking, just action.

Lastly, female bodybuilder muscle is something that takes time. I know we live in this world of instant gratifications, but you have to break this mode of thinking. You’re not going to get out of debt in a day, you’re not going to start a successful business in a day and you’re not going to put on a huge sum of muscle in a day. All you can do in a day is take the necessary steps down the road and make sure you continue doing it.

I hope this motivates you. With all the doom and gloom on the television about the economy, sometimes we need that up beat message to keep us moving forward.
