Tips to Avoid the Common Bodybuilding Mistakes for Beginners

By Ricardo d Argence

There are many techniques and routines that you can use to build your muscle mass, if indeed you perform them properly while paying attention to your daily food and water intake. Of course, you also have to make sure that you are taking proper care of yourself and you muscles by resting and recovering from all your hard work.

In addition to paying attention to these core principles, there are a variety of other mistakes that beginners commonly make. To see the best results, be sure that you do not fall into these common traps:

-No Plan of Action: Almost everything in life is accomplished more effectively if there is an appropriate plan of action in place, and bodybuilding is no different. Purchase a small notebook or pad that you can take with you around your daily activities and to the gym. You can use this journal as your comprehensive guide to muscle building and jot down things like:

An assessment of where your body is in terms of weight and strength, goals that you are setting your sights on accomplishing and the training methods you are going to be using to get you from point A to point B.

Step by Step Implementation " It's one thing to have a large plan of action, it's another thing to have detailed steps that you are going to follow to actually implement it.

Results and Progress " You of course want to be tracking your results and how you are improving. Keep track of how much you weigh, how much you lift and compare your workouts with the results to see what is achieving the most success.

Additionally, if you use a calendar and a planned series of workouts you're much less likely to miss any sessions, which will keep you on track towards seeing muscle building success.

-Making Poor Eating Decisions: To help avoid poor eating decisions either keep track of your diet in your journal or use a separate notebook to cover everything you eat and drink. It's important to adequately fuel your body with protein at the right times, and it's also important not to overeat. Keeping track will enable you to walk that fine line.

-Wasting Money on Supplements or Drugs: By and large, the majority of supplements and over the counter drugs out there do not live up to the claims that they make. Illegal drugs such as steroids are extremely harmful for your body and of course can land you in trouble with the law. Avoid all of these things and save yourself the money and hassle.

-Doing the Same Workout Every Time: If you do the same workout every single week your body and your muscles are going to adapt and you won't be able to see the results that you are looking. Be sure to add in variation and challenge your muscles to grow larger.

When your workout is the same for each session, your muscle growth is eventually going to stop because your muscles are accustomed to what you are doing. Therefore you always want to be adding more weight or pushing for more repetitions to stimulate growth. You can also increase the length or intensity of your cardio sessions or add another set to challenge yourself further.

- Not Getting the Most of Rest and Recovery: You need the proper amount of rest and recovery. Get plenty of restful sleep to recover from muscle inflammation and soreness by resting more often. - 17273
