What You Know About Bodybuilding May Be Totally Wrong!

If you are a newcomer to the world of bodybuilding and you've read quite a few magazines on bodybuilding then you may think that you've actually learned a lot about the subject and now you can safely begin bodybuilding at your local gym.

However, what you read in standard bodybuilding magazines and some run of the mill books may not be working right for you!You see bodybuilding magazines are owned by Supplement companies!

That's right! Nearly all top ranking and widely circulated bodybuilding magazines are owned by supplement companies.

They produce truckloads of worthless supplements and then they have the task of marketing them so these bodybuilding magazines with all their ads and promotional offers, editorials and articles come in very handy for pushing bodybuilding supplement sales.

After reading these magazines one would naturally think that all these professional bodybuilders have built massive impressive physique from the use of such and such brand name supplements. So, I must have them too!

The fact of the matter is whether it is bodybuilding or strength training or weight loss, almost 97% of the gains will come from hard training, diet and rest cycles.

So, why do you need to run after very expensive brand name supplements when you've not maximized your gains from training and diet?

What's more, you can make your own supplement at home with very simple and inexpensive ingredients that will work far better than any other commercial brand name supplement! That's right!Almost everyone has ready access to all these ingredients which can be used to concoct this magic potion!

Another piece of warning is due!

All the bodybuilding routines outlined in a bodybuilding magazine may not be suitable for you at all!

Most of the time they lead to overtraining and resultant muscle fatigue for any genetically average person!

There are many systems of bodybuilding and strength training in vogue.

They often advocate stereotypical three sets of twelve repetitions or five sets of twelve repetitions.

However, doing so many sets also leads to over training and muscle fatigue for most newcomers.

There are other bodybuilding routines that are perfectly suited for newcomers as they promote an ideal training regimen and trigger off maximum growth.

Keep these facts in mind when you are searching for the right guidance on bodybuilding and strength training.

Do not accept any advice from another bodybuilder until and unless he or she is a professionally qualified coach.
