It is a well-known fact that following training your body ability to synthesis protein is enhanced. It is also pretty well known that post training muscle tissue becomes more insulin sensitive and simple carbohydrates are more likely to replenish glycogen than be stored as body fat at this time.

Such valuable knowledge has really assisted many bodybuilders get positive results from training. It is important to eat mainly post training in preference to other times of the day. Just to confirm this new learned knowledge, carbs are needed well before training begins just to get through the session anyway and an important requirement during training is a high blood pool of aminos which will be present through proteins consumed hours before.

Make sure you eat those radical nasty goodies prior to training though so they are actually present and working in your blood stream at the point of greatest oxidative stress (during and straight after training) rather than having them hanging around in your stomach digesting while your over trained body is shouting out for help after training.

A firm eating schedule should be worked out depending on your daily routine. Let’s say that you are sat by a computer for several hours in the morning, and then your carb intake should be reduced while your protein intake should be increased. If your afternoon consists of a punishing workout, then your complex carb intake should be increased as well as fluids and antioxidants, and you will also need a mix of proteins. Post workout nutrition should be supplemented strategically based on your requirements for the coming hours.

It is a rare occurrence that a competing bodybuilder admits to being outclassed by his competitors. You will normally hear a whole range of comments and conspiracy theories about the judges or the organizers. Competitors will think of virtually anything as an excuse for their own under performing flabby physiques that couldn’t win the show.

This of course is the result of how bodybuilding is actually judged which could be improved enormously. The judges should be obliged to take down written notes that broke down the score according to each physique. These figures could then be scrutinized by competitors after the event so they could see what had been lacking. A judge will always refer to a poor diet from what he has seen, and this would help competitors a great deal in preparation for future events.

Bodybuilders are the best athletes in the world at kidding themselves they are making progress simply because their sport has very little in the way of truly objective criteria for judging performance gains. In order to compensate for this every bodybuilder should have photos taken once or twice a year in the same light, in the same poses. Every bodybuilder should keep track of his / her muscular girths and have his / her body fat tested at least once a year also.

So in a nutshell, gains in lean mass and/or losses in body fat create muscular girth growth although the waist won’t really change much. If aren’t able to loose fat or gain muscle, you probably might want to think “Why the hell am I training?” If you look up Bodybuilding in the dictionary it says “building lean and large muscles”, so if you don’t manage to do that then you aren’t actually bodybuilding and that is the name of the game, right?

It always annoys me when I hear this and know straight away that the competitor has tripped up on nutrition and training and that’ the real reason behind zero gains. You won’t often see on a bodybuilding contest judging sheet that a competitor has lost marks for being too muscular or lean, so what are the main objectives? Well I’ll tell you…ALWAYS more muscle and better condition.

Most bodybuilders are actually insane. Albert Einstein defined insanity as “Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”. This perfectly describes the dogmatic training and eating habits of most bodybuilders. Many times you will see a bodybuilder in the gym who has not changed his / her appearance one bit in several years and yet is perfectly content to continue on with the same training practices, nutrition habits etc.

If you don’t seem to be progressing in the gym, then consider a drastic change in something now or you could end up looking the same five years down the road. The most likely bet is that your training routine needs some changes made to it, but if you have been giving it your best for a while then have a serious look at your eating habits.

Ever heard someone say they have “crap genetics for bodybuilding” when they don’t even look like they have ever been near a weight? This bothers me greatly. The truth is usually that these guys don’t train sensibly, don’t eat right and don’t pay enough attention to recovery so how can they possibly expect to fulfill whatever potential they may or may not have? These guys seem to think that because they are tall / skinny / fat / lanky / whatever NOW that they will always be that way. Not true!
