Womens Bodybuilding

I know there is a lot of you out there that all have different things you like to do at the gym. At least one of them has become your favorite too do. I’m talking about the one that you just can’t wait to do when you get the gym. You think about it through the week because you want to conquer it.

So what is your favorite exercise? Mine is the deadlift. I think it is one of the most important ones. It is so challenging, yet so rewarding when I beat that challenge. It continuously pushes me to new levels and I can really feel it when I do it.

I love it. So what challenges you? What gets you pumped up and motivated? What do you like to do? Let me know.

HiiT is an excellent way to target fat and leave your muscle alone. I think it is a good thing to add to your routine when you’re cutting down, just a 2 times a week. It’s really good and I do it myself, but I wanted to bring confusion into the equation.

I think you’re aware that being successful with weight lifting is to change things up and do things differently, so your muscles don’t know what is coming next. This works good to keep them on their toes and it helps develop more muscle mass.

I want to get the same results with HiiT confusion. Typically, I don’t think your burst times really matter. So if you run for 1 minute than walk for 1 minute and do that for 15 minutes, I don’t really think you have to change that up all the time. I do however think you should change up the particular exercise you’re doing.

I remember I started doing HiiT by running continuously up and down stairs. I’d go as fast as I can for about a minute and than just do it slowly for another minute. After about 2 weeks I got very used to the stairs. It didn’t really matter how long I extended things, I could do it.

Change up your exercises and do a different type of cardio. If you run all the time, you’ll get used to it. If you climb stairs, you’ll get used to it. Change things up and shock your body that way. You’ll get far better results this way.

A lot of people out there assume that there is a specific type of training required for men and than there is a special way for women to train. This is totally false. The same biological principles that dictate muscle growth apply for both female and male. That’s the reality of it.

I hear people tell me that I’m training wrong. That there has to be a “lady like” way of doing it. The reality is that you have to do the same things, stimulate the same muscles and workout the same. I won’t be bench pressing 300lbs, but I will be bench pressing at a weight that is challenging to me.

Don’t assume that as a female you have to do this differently. Watch the biggest guy in the gym and copy his routine. You’ll learn a lot. Don’t be afraid to do some deadlifts, they work great. Don’t be afraid to do some squats, they’re powerful. Don’t be afraid to bench press as much as you can, it’s addictive.

You don’t have to train any different than men.

I was on a forum recently and I was reading a topic on the amount of dietary fat needed in a diet for bulking up. Basically this guy held some very horrible misconceptions and what was worse is that he had friends that were into bodybuilding that held very similar misconceptions.

I’ll point out that you can be successful and get results going down the wrong path. The wrong path takes longer, is less healthy and completely inefficient, but it will produce results - so don’t always trust someone that has achieved success because it could of took them a long time.

Basically this guy was afraid of putting on a ton of fat while he was putting on muscle and he was eating around 10% fat in his diet. He wanted to know how much he should be eating. Just to note, this guy obviously wasn’t looking for an answer, but something to back up what he wanted. People tend to do that. They ask a question, not for an answer, but to validate their thinking. This person obviously wanted to cut their fat intake to as low as possible. That is wrong…

Dietary Fat isn’t Body Fat

This is the first misconception, the fat you eat doesn’t equal the fat on your body. It doesn’t work that way. If you’re eating EFAs, you’ll actually boost your metabolism and end up burning more calories.

Fat Doesn’t Clogs Your Arteries

Saturated fat and high cholesterol is what clogs up your arteries. EFAs actually breakdown these clogs and makes your body a well oiled machine.

Fat Helps Produce Hormones

If you’re not getting enough fat intake, you won’t be able to properly produce hormones. The most precious hormone in this case would be testosterone.

LOW FAT = HAIR FALL OUT

The fat you eat, produces the hair you grow. If you’re not getting enough fat, than your hair will start to fall out. Not the most encouraging thing.

I know there are a lot of women out there that would like to have anonymous bodybuilding because it is still pretty taboo for a woman to be putting on muscle. It just seems like society hasn’t got to that point yet and it is still frowned upon. It is sort of sad, but it is the truth.

I know many of you are looking for things that you can do from home that wouldn’t require you to actually go out in public and do this. It probably makes things easier if you have children to look after and can’t get the time away to just workout for an hour.

There are some bodyweight exercises that you can do that work pretty well, the problem is that they’re not good enough. You need some sort of resistance because you’re going to improve pretty fast and your bodyweight won’t be good enough. If you can get yourself a pull up bar, you can achieve a lot. Also a resistance band for training would help too, since weights tend to be pretty expensive.

As for bodyweight exercises, I suggest the typical push ups, which everyone should know how to do. If you’re new, you might not have that upper body strength and need to do them with your knees on the ground. That’s fine, but always remember to improve and get your knees off the ground.

Another great one is a burpees. It’s a full body exercise which starts from the standing position and ends up into a push up.

There are many others you can do and I highly suggest that you Google bodyweight exercises. You can find a lot of anonymous bodybuilding methods that don’t require you to be under the scrutiny of society.

I hope that helps and good luck.

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!!!

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.

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.
