4. AEROBIC
TRAINING - Done to excess by the obsessed
No doubt about it,
aerobics works. One reason the physiques of the '90s are beyond
comprehension is the widespread inclusion of aerobics in the training
game plan. Use judiciously, aerobics burns body fat and increases
endurance, two mighty attributes for the serious bodybuilder. Aerobic
training done correctly stimulates the metabolism and burns calories.
The danger lies in excess. Some bodybuilders tend to get greedy and end
up doing too much of a good thing. Overdose on aerobics and watch your
progress come to a screeching half. How to tell? Watch for signs:
fatigue, listlessness, lack of energy, loss of appetite and a general
weak feeling while training.
5. POOR
NUTRITION - Avoid Eating the Wrong Stuff
Bodybuilding forces
muscle growth - provided the athlete's diet has an adequate supply of
nutrients. Taken in proper amounts and combinations, nutrients derived
from food and supplements are the fuel of muscular growth. Lean protein,
complex carbohydrates and minuscule amounts of fat provide the dense
calories you need to grow. No matter how sound the training routine, no
matter how much rest, no matter how stress-free your lifestyle, a lousy
diet will negate everything! Eat clean fuel - no trash.
6.
UNDERSTANDING, OVEREATING - Too many Calories Turn to Fat, Too Few
Stymie Progress
Let's assume you know
what to eat - that's half the battle. The other half is striking the
balance between undereating and overeating. Take in more calories than
you use during the course of your activities and the excess is stored as
body fat. Take in too few calories and you starve the body. No gains for
the under eater. To perform high-intensity bodybuilding training and
mount a serious aerobic effort, you need ample amounts of clean,
nutritious food. Small, balanced meals every 2-3 hours, 4-6 times a day
provide the best results.
