bodybuilding

a sport that, when done correctly, works and gets your body into shape. i want to write some of the tips and tricks too, as far as i know them myself.

– warm up thoroughly and don't lock your joints. these are the biggest factors in injuries.
– make a plan. have plans according to your long-term and short-term goals.
– be patient. progress is a slow-moving process. patience is the golden rule of this sport.
– learn from your mistakes. the essence of this thing is trial and error. adjust your programs according to your own body type.
– stay away from bad habits. bodybuilding is a sport, not a hobby.
– take vitamin and mineral supplements. working muscles need these more than normal.
– take protein + carbohydrates after working out. you'll have placed glycogen into your muscles and raised your insulin level.
– rest well and enough. avoid overtraining or it'll backfire.
– don't work sore muscles. soreness is a sign that the muscle's renewal isn't finished.
– don't keep your workouts long. if your muscles just won't develop, the most important reason for this is that you're overtraining.
– don't give up on the basic exercises. do a few of them even if you're cutting. otherwise you'll lose mass.
– educate yourself. without knowledge there's no thought, and without thought there's no action.
– do your reps properly. don't deceive yourself. if it's too heavy, reduce it.
– eliminate body adaptation. your body is much smarter than you think, it adapts to anything that continues for a long time and lessens the effect. so catch it off guard.
