Bodybuilding and your Training Errors (Part 2)

By: Mick Hart

It is a proven fact that our post training body has the ability to synthesis more protein. It is also a fact that our muscle tissue after training is a lot more sensitive to insulin and that the simple carbs tend to stock themselves up with glycogen rather than replenishing our body fat levels.

Such valuable knowledge has really assisted many bodybuilders get positive results from training. It is important to eat mainly post training in preference to other times of the day. Just to confirm this new learnt knowledge, carbs are needed well before training begins just to get through the session anyway and an important requirement during training is a high blood pool of aminos which will be present through proteins consumed hours before.

Another important point is that you make sure that you only eat those radical power bars before training begins so that they are already present and functioning in the blood stream when the level of oxidative stress is at its highest; (which is during and immediately following training), and not having them hanging around in the stomach digesting away while your torn apart body is just pleading for help.

The same eating routine should be maintained throughout the day. If you are going to be sat by a desk for three hours then reduce on carbs and take in more protein. If you are about to do punishing leg routines then take on more complex carbs, a protein mix, lots of fluids and antioxidants even before you leave for the gym. You should also follow up supplementing your hard training with post workout specialist nutrition but only as part of a well thought out nutrition strategy taking into account your upcoming requirements.

Rare is the day when a competitive bodybuilder admits to being well beaten by his competitors. All you ever see on the boards is excuses and bitching about who the judges were, who's partner organised the show and every other wild conspiracy theory that someone can think of to explain why there under tanned, badly presented and soft as Rowntree's Jelly physique didn't win the whole show.

Once again this stems from the subjective way in which bodybuilding is judged, but it could be helped out a lot if judges were forced to take written notes on each physique along with scoring in each round. The competitors could then view these documents after the show and see what was lacking. If every judge at the table writes "Followed the Homer Simpson pre-contest diet" next to your name in the posing round then you know what the problem was, right?

You can always rely on a bodybuilder to mislead himself on what his own growth progress really is. Unfortunately the answer to this problem is a real concern for the sport as no actual guide exists for judges to at act upon regarding muscle gains. A good tip on training to overcome this void in bodybuilding competition is to have a couple of photos taken each year of your best pose in similar light conditions to keep a personal track on growth and don't forget to thrown in a fat content test for good measure.

So in a nutshell, gains in lean mass and/or losses in body fat create muscular girth growth although the waist won't really change much. If aren't able to loose fat or gain muscle, you probably might want to think "Why the hell am I training?" If you look up Bodybuilding in the dictionary it says "building lean and large muscles", so if you don't manage to do that then you aren't actually bodybuilding and that is the name of the game, right?

This entire BS really does piss me off and it becomes so obvious to me that the bodybuilder has failed big time on training and nutrition and this is the truth behind zero muscle mass gains. You will never be poorly judged for showing off muscular lean muscle gains, will you? So what are the real main objectives in bodybuilding? Well I'll tell you a little secret and it goes like this...ALWAYS bigger muscle and improved condition.

There's no doubt in my mind that most bodybuilders are completely nuts. Well that's by Albert Einstein's definition of the word who said that insanity was the constant repetition of something while expecting different results. It sounds to me like a bodybuilder carry out the same pattern of train, eat, and train and so on. How many times have you seen a bodybuilder in the gym who always looks the same but oddly enough just carry on with the same training techniques and nutrition routines?

If you are not making gradual progress in the gym then you need to change something or you will look the same in five years as you do right now. Chances are pretty good that what you need to change is your training, if you've been at it long enough to have been stale for years then you had better have a good handle on your nutrition.

You might also have heard some idiot saying that they just haven't got the genes for bodybuilding. This is a really worrying sign and the truth is that they just haven't got a clue on how to train, eat correctly or recover properly. So how on earth can they possibly reach their maximum possible gains regardless of their size? So let me just resize that again, I mean size doesn't matter when it comes to being able to make muscle gains.
