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.

Beginner’s Advice:

1) The first thing an absolute beginner should do is visit his/her doctor and get the all clear to begin a workout program that will include cardiovascular and weight training.

2) Decide on what are your goals. Do you want to lose body fat and tone up or do you want to gain weight? Doing both at the same time can be achieved too but is very difficult and can lead to zigzag diets.

3) A general guideline is that if your body fat is below 14% you should be ok to bulk up and gain some weight and body fat.

If you are above 14% then you should try to first lose some fat and then try to gain the weight. Generally anyone who has a body fat percentage of over 30% is considered to be obese.

4) Have a set nutrition plan before you begin training. 5-6 meals a day are an absolute MUST whether you want to lose bf or gain weight.

5) Have a set training regimen. If you have to, hire a personal trainer for a couple of sessions to show you how to perform the basic exercises. Ask for advice on your routines, either from knowledgeable people in the gym or in our forum.

6) Choose a gym that will have all the basic equipment (benches, squat racks, smiths etc). If you go during peak hours (5pm-8pm) you should try and join the gym with the most equipment around.

This will help you finish your workout faster and not wait for someone to get off your machine. Make sure your gym has personal trainers and helpful staff. Cleanliness is also a MUST!

Tip! Feed the Spirit! Bodybuilding Champions understand the mind is their biggest competitor and the heart is their biggest asset. If you kill your spirit or passion for the sport, you have lost the main purpose for your efforts.

7) Don’t just go to the gym to train chest and arms! If you want your progress to be fast you MUST train all muscles at least once per week.

Do not tax your body with unnecessary time in the gym. Go in, train hard and get out of there as fast as you can! Growth takes place OUTSIDE the gym while you are eating healthy meals and while sleeping and resting.

9) Cardio training is a good tool for all beginners in order to help them gain some cardiovascular strength for strenuous weight workouts.

10) Always remember that you will progress faster if you contantly apply te following equation to your lifestyle:

TRAINING + MEALS + REST = GROWTH!
If one or more components are missing, growth simply won’t take place and you’ll end up being very frustrated.

Interesting how most workout programs designed to help you gain weight and build muscle mass, mainly focus on lifting heavy loads in every exercise, whether they realize it or not.

The belief is that your bodybuilding training program should consist of sets in the 6-10 rep range, which allegedly is best for building size and strength.

Well, as I’ve written in other articles, muscular size and strength aren’t necessarily related. You can have a muscle that is extremely strong and powerful, yet relatively small in size.

Seems like most workout routines concentrate on what I call ‘the numbers game’ (which is focusing mainly on lifting heavy weights, figuring out your ‘1 rep max’, percentages of that, and being able to lift more weight, aka ‘numbers’) instead of relying more off of feeling what0s going on in the muscle itself.

(Hey, what good is that you were able to lift a large amount of weight / load, yet not really feel anything in the muscle?)

I can’t go into every little detail in this article, so keep reading my articles to get the complete picture (which you can see a list of them at www.fromskinnytomuscular.com/articles.html).

Let me make it very clear, if you want to gain muscle weight […]

Metabadrine with Ephedra is a diet pill known and used by many people over the years. It is one of the few diet pills still available that contain herbal ephedra.

Metabadrine can be used by healthy individuals who wish to lose unwanted excess weight. This Metabadrine review is an outline of what this diet pill is and is not and what can be expected from the use of this product.

Metabadrine contains the herbal form of ephedra which is also known as the Chinese herb Ma-huang. Metabadrine with Ephedra is strictly a fat burner.

Ma-huang functions to speed up the metabolism by stimulating the sympathetic nervous system much like ephedra. The ma-huang in Metabadrine is a standardized 4 percent formulation which yields 10 mg of ephedra alkaloids.

This is combined with caffeine from Guarana and Green tea extracts plus salicin from White Willow bark.

The result of this combination is the classic ECA (ephedra, caffeine, aspirin) stack that has been an effective fat burning tool used for years in the bodybuilding industry.

The Metabadrine with Ephedra formulation also includes Vitamin B5, which helps convert the calories from proteins, carbohydrates and fat into energy rather than having them stored as fat.
