Some Bodybuilders Spend Too Much Energy Thinking About How Steroids and  Other Drugs Could Make Building Their Bodies Easier

Many  bodybuilders want to believe that anyone who has a great physique must be taking  steroids or illegal drugs. This is oftentimes a gigantic distraction for them!  It’s almost as if they want to believe this is true.

Why? Choosing to  believe that everyone with an awesome build takes drugs makes them feel better  about their own shortcomings. It gives them an excuse. It takes the pressure off  them to find the strategies or do the work necessary to do a better job of  building their own physiques without drugs.

Seek and you shall find. If  you want to focus on all the people who have an easier time than you because  they are taking drugs to assist them—you will find them. At the same time, if  you look for people who have successfully built their great bodies without  drugs—you will find them too. Trust me; those positive examples are out there.

Most people who train in the gym do not want to do “whatever it takes”  to have an outstanding physique if that means using steroids or other drugs. If  that’s you, great! But don’t stop there.

Take Action and Do this  NOW!

Ask more out of yourself than to “not use drugs.” Demand  yourself to create an awesome physique on your own terms.

Don’t waste  your time talking or thinking about how much easier of a time people who use  drugs to assist them with their development have than you do. Drugs or no drugs,  you can look much better than you do right now if you applied yourself and did  the things you already know you should do, right? Better training, better  eating, more consistency, and more time doing all those things properly will  make you better. You need to focus on doing those things.

Some Bodybuilders Spend Too Much Time and Energy Looking for the “Perfect”  Diet

This mistake occurs when bodybuilders don’t commit to an  eating program because they’re always looking for the “perfect” diet.

Here’s the challenge:

“I need an eating plan that has the most  adaptability to meet my specific, individual conditions. It can’t be too strict  because I have a very busy schedule. Can’t I get by without sacrificing so  much?”

Stop searching for the “perfect” diet. People are oftentimes  distracted looking for an easier, less-painful diet that requires less  discipline than the eating program they are currently on. If the diet doesn’t  work as quickly or effectively as they expected, they blame the diet—and not  their standards or expectations.

Many diets appeal to different people  for different reasons besides their level of effectiveness. The Aitkin’s Diet,  for example, may seem great to some people because they love to eat meat. The  Zone Diet may seem ideal to other people because they love salads and  vegetables. Even a strict, bland bodybuilding diet may appear to be the best  option to some people because they like the fact that they aren’t required to  make decisions for themselves on a continual basis or because they really enjoy  the taste of meal replacements.

I believe that many people’s obsession  with finding the “perfect” diet has become a huge stumbling block.  Unfortunately, the desire to discover a painless alternative to sacrifice and  discipline that many people mistakenly believe is eluding them prevents them  from even getting started.

By perfect, I’m referring to a diet that  tastes good, allows plenty of food to be eaten, helps you shed body fat and  build muscle—quickly and painlessly. Also, the perfect diet must not be so  strict that you can’t go off it every once in awhile, or whenever you want for  that matter, without impeding your amazing progress. Now, I’m exaggerating about  how accommodating some people hope an effective fat-loss diet will be for  them—but I’m probably not exaggerating as much as you might think!

Take Action and Do this NOW!

As I always say, “God puts a  price-tag on everything.” If you’ve accumulated some excess body fat and  desperately want to get rid of it, you are going to have to pay the price. The  price may be spending a little more time sweating on a treadmill, feeling hungry  on occasion, skipping a few more of those “cheat meals” you have budgeted into  your eating regimen, or all of the above. Whatever method you choose to lose  body fat, there will be some sacrifice, discipline, and pain involved in the  dieting process. I would be lying to you if I told you any differently. Anyone  who tells you otherwise is just flat-out misleading you.

When it comes  to dieting to lose body fat, there’s no substitute for hard work. If you aren’t  burning enough calories, aren’t dieting for a long enough period of time or are  not incorporating a combination of these factors, your diet isn’t going to work  for you. It’s not because you haven’t found the “right” diet for your body yet  and it’s not because you are cursed with an incredibly slow metabolism.

It’s not because you don’t know enough about nutrition. It’s not because  you don’t have enough bodybuilding and training experience. It’s not because you  don’t know enough about the finer intricacies of dieting. It’s not because the  ratio of protein, carbohydrates, and fat are 40-40-20 instead of 50-40-10 or  even 40-30-20. It isn’t because you are carbohydrate sensitive. It isn’t because  you can’t afford the right nutritional supplements. It isn’t because your body  has hit a plateau either.

If you are carrying more body fat than you  would like, the problem is that you are eating too much food to meet your  objective—period. You must either eat less food or lower your standards for what  you expect.

If you want to build high-quality muscle, then you must back  up your efforts in the gym with frequent meals that include a good source of  protein. You need to eat those meals on a consistent basis to see results.

To build high-quality muscle, you must eat the right amount of calories  spread out evenly throughout the day. Those calories need to be allocated evenly  in smaller, more frequent meals. And, all of those meals must be in the proper  ratio of protein, carbohydrates, and fat to build muscle and lose body fat. You  must follow these basic eating principles on a consistent basis to produce  results.

Many Bodybuilders  Underestimate the Importance of Heavy Training When Striving to Build More  Muscle

Many bodybuilders do not believe it is important to lift heavy weight in order to build muscle. Regardless of what the “everything-in-moderation” preachers try to tell you, believe me when I tell you that big weight will lead to big muscles.

Now, I realize that the word “heavy” means different things to different people. By heavy, I am talking about continually challenging yourself to lift more weight than your body is already acclimated to lifting week in and week out—whatever that amount of weight may be. I know some bodybuilders who have lifted the same amount of weight for literally years—and wonder why they’ve hit training plateaus.

Take  Action and Do This NOW!

I firmly believe heavy, overload training is what you need to effectively build high-quality, dense muscle mass in the shortest period of time. I like to refer to the human body as a “sensitive adapting machine”. When you lift heavy weights, you call upon your body’s adaptive abilities to make the necessary adjustments. Your body simply must adapt in order to handle the burden of heavy weight. In other words, you literally force your muscles to grow. If your body wants to survive the trauma you’ve created through resistance training, it has no other choice.

This explanation describes what is known as muscle hypertrophy. The muscles of the human body grow larger and stronger in an effort to properly adjust to the demanding conditions of its environment.

Heavy training is the most  efficient way to build muscle. How do I define the word “efficient” when it comes to building muscle? Efficient muscle-building is getting the maximum results in the shortest period of time while putting forth the least amount of effort.

Why is heavy training so efficient? Physically, you reach absolute failure much sooner during each set. Absolute failure, or working every set until you are so fatigued you can’t do any more, should be your goal for every set of every exercise. Additionally, heavy training is more mentally efficient because if you reach absolute failure sooner rather than later. You are required to concentrate and focus for a shorter period of time. The shorter the period of time you need to concentrate and focus, the better your chances of exerting 100 percent of your abilities during a particular set and throughout your entire workout.
