Bodybuilding Training
| "Bodybuilding is much like any other sport. To be successful, you must dedicate yourself 100% to your training, diet and mental approach."- Arnold Schwarzenegger |
Bodybuilding training has to be always structured according to your own trainings status, your age, definitely gender and physical stress tolerance on that particular day. Just to copy other people's exercise regime without thinking about your own physique will lead to failure, overtraining and possibly even injury.
The best bodybuilders are very organized. Whether it is exercise routines, workout schedules, diet, times in food intake, hydration, supplements and of course rest and sleep need to be perfectly harmonized if you want to get somewhere in bodybuilding.
If you are one of the lucky ones, who's got the physique for a pro, you cannot rest on this quality, bodybuilding is a tough sport and only the strong will survive here.
Any little deficiency is a no-go and just has recently forced Markus Ruhl to retire because of a fissure in his chest.

Any little deficiency is a no-go and just has recently forced Markus Ruhl to retire because of a fissure in his chest. It just goes to show that prevention is one of the main focus points in a bodybuilding career.
Another crucial part is motivation: Most of us are just not like Ronnie Coleman who likes to push 2300lbs in the legpress and says "Light weight, baby!" It is important to have the right attitude. You have to become a winner in your attitude and reach for goals that are achievable. I still think that watching great bodybuilding trainings videos gives you an insight on how other athletes train and can inspire you to follow their footsteps, no matter if you are a pro, an amateur or just a weekend warrior.
