If you are interested
in bodybuilding, there are some great routines that you can follow.
The key here is to walk the fine line so that you are working each
muscle group frequently enough so that it grows yet not too often
where you are overtraining. Overtraining is the most common mistake
when it comes to people who want to gain muscle. The theory use
to be more is better but in recent years the thinking has changed.
As you work
your muscles against resistance, the muscles develop microscopic
tears in the tissues. You MUST rest the muscles so that the muscle
fibers can repair completely. When the muscles heal, they create
a stronger and larger muscle.
One thing that
you will notice in these programs there that there is very little
cardio if any at all. The reason for that is that cardio burns and
eats muscle tissue. Sorry, there is no way around it, unless you
are taking steroids and then are always in an anabolic (muscle building)
state cardio will inhibit your muscle growth.
I actually competed
in bodybuilding in 1990 and 1991. When I arrived to the show in
1991 I saw Gerard Dante walking up the steps. I said "who's
the guest poser?" Someone replied, "no, he is here to
qualify for the nationals". I was 205 lbs shredded and he was
255 lbs. I really don't have to tell you who won, do I?
The first routine
that I will show you I got from Joe Deangelis an old friend of mine
who was Mr. America and Mr. Universe. It enables you to work each
muscle group 3 times over a 2 week span. Once again, you must walk
that fine line. Training each muscle group 3 times every 2 weeks
is a great way to walk that line.
