a true bodybuilder must understand his own body to reach his full potential.

You could ask 50 gymrats the same question about training and 50 gymrats will give you a different answer. Because everyones body is different. No matter what the magazines or the know it all personal trainers tell you, there is no cookie cutter or universal workout plan that fits everyone. You may have a muscle group that grows faster than the next guy or one that grows slower. Your body may react different to a type of diet or cardio than the next guy. The best thing to do is to learn your body and how it reacts to different things like rep range, sets, exercises, training styles and diets. Keep a note book with you and write down your workouts and diets. Then if you notice a change in your body you like or don’t like, you can go back and see what it was that caused it and make the changes you need.

Do your research. Take the time to learn the different exercises, to do them correctly and the muscles they work. It is the ones that take the time to do this that take their bodies to the next level and a step closer to reaching their goals. Remember Rome wasnt built in a day and neither were the top athletes and bodybuilders of today. Its years of training and years of trial and error, while figuring out what works best for you.

For some knowledge is power! For others ignorance is bliss! Its your body, your choice! Play it smart and make your own decisions, only YOU know whats best for YOUR body.

I hope you guys can understand, from personal experience i have made my best gains from leeching advice and deciphering what would work best for me and my goals.
