Many people feel it’s not easy to leave
a routine and go to the gym as it’s something very hard to do when they do
nothing much about it. They love bodybuilders and wanted to be one of them. Few
of them luckily do go to the gym but without knowing the important and very
basic things they struggle a lot and never achieve the goal for what they came
to the gym. To be a successful bodybuilder or to achieve fitness goals, it is
important to start your workout on the right track. Beginners need to know the right path to achieve their goals in the gym.
Here I am going to tell the
bodybuilding beginners some very important and basic tips. My 10 tips for beginner
bodybuilders. Honestly, I do not want to make things difficult for you but to
tell you what you have to do and what not to do while you are doing your
workout in the gym or even at home. I hope by applying them to your fitness
routine you will be successful.
1.
Make Bodybuilding a Habit/Routine
Starting the gym for your bodybuilding
is your first step toward your dream but at the very start, you have to face many
changes which may force you to leave the gym. It is important to make a habit
or routine to hit the gym at least 3 to 4 times a week at the start. If
possible it is best to go 6 days or even a full week but in the start, it looks
hard, so remember you have to touch your gym a minimum of 3 to 4 days a week. Making
a habit or routine is a tough task but once you make it, it will become your
habit and it will be irritating to leave it.
2.
Focus and control your Lifts
At the start, most of the beginners
do learn lifting by watching which is very normal. But the issue arose when the
beginners do follow them as they do not know whether the person is doing the lift
properly or not. Another thing which beginners do is that they try to lift too
much weight at the very start. You need to be focused and controlled toward
your lifts. The better, accurately, and correctly you perform you’re lifting the
better your muscles will grow. So you need to focus and
control your lifts and follow step by step guide regarding each lift from your
senior or an exercise database available on the internet.
3.
Work on Multiple Movements
Some beginners does the mistake of
doing things by watching magazines and online articles which are not for beginners.
Those moves or exercises never work for them because doing lift-in-isolation
moves never produce good results for your body and muscles. The key to success
is to do different exercises with proper angles and techniques. Bodybuilding is
an art and the set of combined exercises builds your muscles strong and
powerful. It is advised to start lifts that required half of your body and you
can add isolation workout later but focus on the work which gives you the best
output.
4.
Right Posture
Posture is very important for
bodybuilding and it has a huge impact on your body and on the size of lifting. Your
posture must be as per set standard unless you are a powerlifter or being
advised to do so. The wrong posture may cause some serious issues and pain in
the back. A healthy spine is important for bodybuilding and it is your job to
make things with the right posture.
5.
Diet balance
A healthy and clean diet plays an important role in bodybuilding. Going to the gym does not mean you can eat anything either Pizza, burger, or sweets. You should know that bodybuilding is a 24/7 job for you. It is very important to get rid of the things which are not healthy and start eating healthy and clean food. Make your habit to eat fresh vegetables and take protein in your meal. You can take food which you like but the best way is to eat less just for the taste. must read Rehan Riaz Merchant Diet and Weight Management
6.
Challenge your body
Going to the gym and doing workouts
daily is the best part of building your body but getting the most out of your
workout is very important for you. To get the most you need to focus to
challenge your body. Try to squeeze as hard as you can, this will help you to
build your muscle. But remember one important thing do not try to take longer
time only for a second or two.
7.
Mistakes make you perfect
You are not an expert, you are
just a beginner and you are going to make mistakes. What is important for you
is to learn from your mistakes. Keep an eye on your mistakes and try to rectify
them on time. Keep thinking about your body, your diet, and its response to
your lifts. The better you understand your body the better you get in your
future.
8.
Perfection in Rep
The common mistake beginners do
that they do focus on the first part of their Rep (first part of the lift) and do
forget about the second part when they are lowering the lift. This is good to
watch or to do but that routine can be very discourse for your muscles. You
should complete both parts of the lifting with the same energy because that is
how your muscles become stronger and you get better output from that workout by
doing perfectly. Experts say that if you cannot control weight during the
lowering part, it means you are probably lifting too much weight. So for
beginners, it is advised to use a weight that you can control well in both parts
(lifting up and lifting down) of the workout.
9.
Listen to Experts or Ask Questions
For beginners, a gym is a frightening place but they need to go and ask questions from experts or from seniors about what exercises to do, when to do them, and what benefit that workout will produce to our body. As a starter, you have too many questions which you need to ask, and do not hesitate by asking. The experts and seniors feel good helping beginners but it’s your responsibility to ask them first. Not asking the questions, ultimately leads you to bad habits and improper lifting that cause serious consequences to your body, and moreover, you are not going to get good results on time. If you are too shy in asking go-to online resources available about bodybuilding for beginners.
10. Ask Your
Muscles
It sounds awkward but you should consult and focus your mind and muscle which you are training. You should feel your muscles by doing practice at home without picking up a weight. The mind-muscle connection is one of the ways to maximize a workout.
