Bodybuilding Is More Than Just Lifting Weights
Not only as a gym rat but as a certified personal trainer as well.
The first thing that I realized is that it was very easy to get people to sweat after they had changed to nutritious meals designed specifically for bodybuilding success.
I could tell them to do things that would frighten many brave individuals and they wouldn't hesitate, bringing themselves close to the point of physical collapse.
However, when it came to diet it was a whole different ball game. Bodybuilding is primarily about food.
What To Do The First Month In Order To Have Rapid Success
So I flipped through and pointed out all the fast food, sugary treats, and deviations from what we agreed on.
The last gentleman I trained won a fitness contest that afforded him some bragging rights around the gym as well as $500 in prize money.
The funny thing about him was that he had never stepped foot into a gym in his entire life. In fact he was a simple construction worker who wanted to get into great shape for his softball team and he and his wife's ten year marriage anniversary.
It worked well because he wasn't so full of preconceived notions, disinformation, or marketing gimmicks. He was a fresh fitness canvas.
The contest was three months long and the person with the greatest percentage of change in body composition was declared the winner. He really wanted to win. Working out wasn't a problem, but a month into it we discovered that his diet wasn't cutting it.
He was adding muscle mass alright, but not losing much body fat in the process.
Keeping It Simple
For many people in western society our pallets are way too used to a tremendous variation of rich fatty foods. Bodybuilding meals are not engineered this way and for good reason.
They are meant to stabilize blood sugar, lower overall sodium intake, and to keep the metabolism in overdrive all day and all night long while not loading your veins with cholesterol or supplementations.
He was eating all the right bodybuilding foods but because he was making his diet so complicated, driving his wife insane, it wasn't getting the job done. I will tell you however how we simplified things and he ended up winning that $500 bucks.
Keep in mind he isn't a vegetarian, so for those of you who are, envision something like tofu, egg white substitutes, or soy sausage in place of the proteins we used.
A Simple Meal Plan
He agreed and was actually quite relieved. His wife also was very thankful because she was getting too confused by all the measuring and weighing and trying to keep things mixed up on the dinner table.
The two proteins he chose were lean chicken breast and ground turkey. The carbohydrate he picked was raw spinach, and for the fats he went with my suggestion of almonds. Each of his meals would either be four ounces of chicken or turkey, five cups of spinach, and twelve almonds.
Now that right there is one of the easiest bodybuilding recipes ever and it works. In two months he lost SIX PERCENT BODY FAT and gained huge ground in strength, stamina, and endurance.
