How To Avoid The Common Bodybuilding Mistakes For Beginners

By Ricardo d Argence

Everybody has their own method for building muscle and getting their dream body. The problem is that few people achieve their goals, because more often than not they fall into the same traps and mistakes that the majority of beginners fall into. Your body needs to be fueled properly with food and water and your muscles need time to repair and recover.

These overall principles are important but it's also important to take a close look at some of the ways that people slip up so you can learn how to avoid them, stay injury free and reach your goals. These typical downfalls include:

-Not Having a Plan: No matter how experienced you are, you need a plan to get you started and allow you to keep track of your progress and results. Buy a small notebook or journal that you can take with you to the gym and around in the rest of you day. Keep track of things such as:

A personal assessment of where your body currently is, goals of where you're trying to get your body and the training strategy for how you are going to bridge the gap.

Implementing You Strategy - You need to outline your daily steps of action in order to achieve your goal.

Measuring Results - Keeping up with your measurements allows you to see yourself moving towards your goals as well as knowing when you have reached your goals

Additionally, if you use a calendar to plan out your workouts in advance you'll find that you are much less likely to skip out on a scheduled training session. This will help you be consistent and move closer to your goals.

-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.

-Buying Supplements, Powders, Drugs, etc. " The supplement industry is a major fraud and few of the products on the market live up to their self-announced hype. Therefore instead of wasting your money on these products, you should focus on your nutrition and your workout. You certainly don't want to delve into illegal drugs like steroids either.

-Not Changing Workouts " It's easy and it's tempting to fall into the same weekly pattern, using the same exact workout all of the time. However, your muscles need to be challenged and they need to be goaded into growing, it won't happen all on its own.

Doing the same things weekly without taking on a challenge may get your muscles to a particular point and then the growth pauses since it satisfies the push you give it. You can work to surpass your prior workouts by adding a bit more weight as you go by doing these to push yourself: Increasing your cardio workouts by a minute or so; Setting the incline on a treadmill at a steeper level; Adding another set to your routine; Setting the stair-climber to a higher level.

- 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
