How to Become a Bodybuilding Champion - The Art of Recuperation!

Bodybuilding And Steroids With Mick Hart. Mick Hart’s Awesome, Hot Selling, Bodybuilding And Anabolic Steroids Guides.

What? Less is more! Yes, less is more! For the first three bodybuilding competitions I over trained. I thought the more weight, the more sets and the more the fat that was cut out of my diet the better the finished product would look.

This mind set ended up costing me championships.

In 1987 after training in Florida with Mr. Universe Brian Silk, I learned a valuable lesson. Brian was doing half the weight, half the sets in half the time I was known to do.

He taught me the importance of allowing the body to rest, recuperate and rebuild. It just did not seem logical to me, I thought. “What if I lose all this muscle I worked so hard to develop?”

But if he looked that way, I was willing to try. One year later I won the Mr. Michigan Bodybuilding championships. Remember these things if you want to become a bodybuilding champion:

Tip! Teach others what you have learned ? Bodybuilding Champions help others gain knowledge. The best champions are those who share the wealth, teach others and inspire hearts.

Workout Cycling (Periodization):

Set a time frame of ten to twelve weeks on a workout plan, and then take a week off.

Body Part Cycling:

Train each body part twice in seven days. There are different opinions about this, but my experience tells me to teach you to train body parts twice in a week, one heavy day and one lighter weight day.

Less is More:

Over training body parts can do more damage than good. Be careful not to think the more you do the better.

Heavy vs. Light Training Days:

In order to achieve a balanced looking physique, less joint aches and better muscle recuperation, training should consist of heavy - strength days and lighter - shape days. In other words, in your rotation of body parts work certain muscles heavier on some days and lighter and more repetitions on others. This allows better quality of rest between training days in the short term.

Tip! Ashamed to ask for help: The smartest thing I did when I was first started bodybuilding and competing was to ask for help. Knowledge is power when you adapt it to your personality.

Body Language:

While this may be the hardest to master, it may be the most important. Learn to listen to your body and not your ego. Rest is important. In the short run you will not lose what you have worked so hard to develop.

However, if you do not learn to listen, you will eventually be forced to take a break by the body shutting down. If your joints ache, sleeping patterns are off, more sore than usual after a workout or irritable, then chances are you need a short rest.

Mastering the art of recuperation may be the biggest obstacle you will have in becoming a champion.

How to Become a Bodybuilding Champion - The Art of Isolation

Tip! Leave your ego at the door! ? Bodybuilding Champions focus on the process and not on themselves. Your life should not center on you and you alone.

To be a bodybuilding champion you have to understand kinesiology. It’s the study of how the body moves. To me, bodybuilding is more about body movement than weight lifting. It is more about feeling the muscle work through the minds eye than lifting a weight. The art of becoming a champion bodybuilder comes down to how you isolate one muscle from the other in your training regiment. In other words, work smarter not harder.

Bodybuilding Done Right. Insiders Audio Guide To Muscle Building Secrets.

If you are NOT going to be judged on how much you could lift, why worry about it? It makes no sense to curl 90 pounds and cheat by using muscles other than your biceps to curl the weight. Why not stay true to form using 30 pounds and work the bicep in a more isolated fashion. This also keeps the joints and muscles healthier by not over stressing them.

To become a champion one must learn to work smarter than your competitors. There are some who have all the ingredients to be great, but allow their ego to dictate how much weight they lift and how they do it. Big mistake! In my experience, when you had the bio-mechanics down, the strength and shape of the muscles always follows close behind.

Tip! Ashamed to ask for help: The smartest thing I did when I was first started bodybuilding and competing was to ask for help. Knowledge is power when you adapt it to your personality.

Here are some tips on mastering the Art of Isolation:

1. Visualize the muscle moving the weight in a full range of motion.

2. Use a hesitation principle and pause for a second at the mid-range of the movement.

3. Always stay in control of the weight. Never allow the weight to control you.

4. Study the way the bone moves and try to understand how the muscle moves the bone.

5. Always exercise larger muscle groups (back, chest, legs) before smaller ones with in your program.

6. Try not to squeeze the bars or accessories while performing the movement, this puts pressure on the bone and wastes useful energy.

The importance thing is, take your ego out of it, visualize and feel the muscle move. You may not move mountains with this technique but you will have a better chance of becoming king of the hill for one day.
