Basic Principles for Consistent Bodybuilding Results

By Eric W. Bricker

Reaching the goals you've set for gaining weight and building muscle mass starts with the proper workout routine. Fast and long lasting results will only occur with the proper training, but there is another component that will ensure your long term success that is often overlooked.

Commitment and the desire to follow through will determine whether or not you are simply a hobbyist or a true bodybuilder who does what it takes to reach your goals.

Others can show you the proper exercises and routines but it is up to you and only you to get out there and do them consistently. Take action and build momentum until you become unstoppable.

With that said, there are 2 basic principles your weight training program must include if you want to be successful at quickly achieving your goals.

1. Keep it Intense

It is vital for the production of muscle mass that you put as much stress on the muscles as possible during each workout so that they heal and regrow and much as possible during recuperation. A high intensity workout therefore requires that you focus on lifting as much weight as possible with fewer reps, and do only one set per exercise. Doing this 1 to 3 times a week will allow you to increase the weight each week.

2. Periodization

Periodization is an important component in a successful fitness weight training program. Periodization requires that you do some light training for three weeks, follow that up with some medium training for another 3 weeks and then for the last cycle do some heavy training. The goal of periodization is not to achieve gains in every cycle but to change intensity and volume levels to prevent over training.

Supplementation and proper nutrition are of course another needed component. Combined with these two basic principles and a commitment to succeed you will see the results you want in no time. - 17273
