Bodybuilding – Your ‘Bodybuilding Workout Routine’ Sucks – Why Most Natural Bodybuilders Are Frustrated

by admin on September 9, 2010

I'm not going to mince words or pull any punches: If you're not making steady bodybuilding gains, it's because your 'bodybuilding workout routine' sucks - plain and simple. It's because you haven't customized a successful schedule of effective bodybuilding workouts and combined it with an adequate recuperation schedule for gaining muscle.

You're not alone. I've seen thousands of gym-goers who are frustrated with their lack of bodybuilding progress. Yet like the proverbial creature of habit that epitomizes the definition of slight insanity, they keep doing the same thing over and over while seemingly expectant of a different result. This is not a good habit to develop if you want success in life - whether in natural bodybuilding or any other area.

It is always recommended that you ask a question or assistance when in doubt. If one is not well conversant with any kind of exercise, when he or she does not know how to perform a certain exercise or when he or she does not know how to use particular equipment, he or she should not try to figure it out on his own but he should seek for help from a trainer or any knowledgeable person. You should ensure that all the weight plates are secured before you execute a lift. You ought to be very careful when it comes to securing the weights with collars in Olympic bars.

As a body builder, you have to warm up before you start dealing with the heavier weights. Engaging in intense exercise minus warm up is a bad idea and may lead to great loss. It is recommended that you perform the lighter weights first depending on what you are targeting. It is also best to practice perfect form. Most of the people carry their ego to the gym and this is not recommended at all. You should put your ego aside and be ready to practice perfect form. If one uses the heavier weights that what he or she can handle, his or her joints and bones will take the strain which may lead to injury. Perfect form is recommended because it helps one in achieving the best results faster because the muscles will be performing more work.

Arbitrary 'Bodybuilding Workouts'

Coupled with working out too often as being a prime reason for lack of muscle building gains is the common practice of random, hit-and-miss workouts. Walk into any gym and you can see this happening on a massive scale. For those who want to work out just for the sake of movement, this is fine. However, for those of you who actually want to have a better looking body down the road than you have now, this is disastrous.

Many gym-goers and home workout enthusiasts alike seem to think that any bodybuilding workout movement they undergo will result in tangible physique improvement down the line - as long as they're consistent and persistent.

But this is reminiscent of the old analogy of "running east and looking for a sunset"; it's not going to happen. Unless your bodybuilding workout routine is custom made for you in terms of having the right muscle breakdown/recuperation ratio, your routine is going to be more an exercise in futility than in muscle building progress.

If you want to squelch the frustration of slow or no progress in bodybuilding, you need to devise a workout schedule that provides 'overload' at just the right intervals. Most of all, you need to stop working out in a random and arbitrary manner.

This means that you have to eat healthy and at the same time exercise so that you don't end up flabby and looking up the directory for the nearest plastic surgeon. Just keep your nutritional intake lean and go easy on the cardio. It is a fact of life that people who work out have great looking bodies, life is short! Look hot while you still can
