If you are new to bodybuilding, this sport can seem intimidating at first. The internet is full of all sorts of information on bodybuilding nutrition, training programmes and regimes, supplements and self-motivation. Interestingly, almost every person who works out in the gym has their own ‘best of the best’ advice, and this overload of information can make your new love of the sport fade quickly. So, let’s try to get to know bodybuilding a small step at a time.
Small steps
The number one motivational tip for bodybuilding newbies is to set one goal at a time. Building lean muscle mass requires patience. It certainly won’t happen overnight. The bodybuilders, models and athletes you see on the covers of magazines have sacrificed years or even decades to get their bodies to where they are now. They have dedicated their lives to self-education and spent countless hours in the gym and the kitchen, learning new exercises, experimenting with new training methods and diets to perfect their physiques.
Concentrate on your gains
Bodybuilding is a sport where the goal is an aesthetic human body. The primary goal of bodybuilding is to become “big”, with pronounced and symmetrical muscles. Physical perfection is the athlete’s ultimate goal. The mirror in the gym has an important function, as everyone can be proud and satisfied with their appearance and results. However, it is not the best motivational tool for beginners. Sometimes it is better to leave the mirror behind for a while and concentrate on the exercise.
To avoid feeling obsessed with reducing your body fat percentage, increasing your biceps and looking as good as possible, try to redirect your efforts in another direction. Think about how you can increase the single repetition maximum (the heaviest weight you can lift only once) of a particular exercise, or how you can increase the amplitude (depth) of squats. Consider how you can improve your health, such as lowering your cholesterol or stabilising your glucose levels by following a healthy diet. If you put all of this before the reflection you see in the mirror, you’ll get much better results.
Take various supplements
When it comes to bodybuilding, supplements can be a useful tool to help support muscle growth and improve performance. Here’s a few that you may not even be aware of:
Trestolone Acetate
One supplement that some bodybuilders may consider taking is Trestolone Acetate.
Trestolone Acetate is a potent anabolic steroid that is used by bodybuilders to increase muscle mass, strength, and endurance. It works by binding to androgen receptors in the body, which helps to increase protein synthesis and nitrogen retention, leading to muscle growth.
When using Trestolone Acetate, it’s important to follow a proper cycle and dosage plan to minimize the risk of side effects. The length of a Trestolone Acetate cycle can vary depending on the individual’s goals, but it’s typically between 6-12 weeks.
Other various supplements
Other supplements that may be beneficial for bodybuilders include protein powders, creatine, and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). Protein powders can help ensure that you’re getting enough protein in your diet to support muscle growth, while creatine can help improve endurance and performance during high-intensity workouts. BCAAs can help reduce muscle breakdown and improve recovery time.
