Thread: Facts on bodybuilding HELP

Fact number 1: Bodybuilders are too lazy to write anything.

Reminds me of the old adage about getting enough rest and recuperation:-

Never run when you can walk. Never walk when you can stand still. Never stand when you can sit. And never sit down when you can lie down.

or you can run around and just eat more

Please don´t make me write the fact number 2. People will cry, I am telling you.

okay how about every program should be centered around these types of exercises:

Squats
Deads
Stiff Legged Deads
Rows
Pull Ups
Benchpress
Overhead Press

Great. Keep it coming.

How about some calf exercises?

thats why i said centered around...not should consist of. Obviously bb'ers will be doing many more exercises other than those. The ones i listed should always be used no matter what (barring injuries and such).

Muscles can not be trained to be tone.

Very good. I was about to say: "$#%@ the newbies".
Anyone else? It is just starting.

You cannot shape a muscle.

in order to get optimal results from supplements, your diet and exercise must be in line.

for newbies ... no, creatine will not kill you so dont even ask.

Water is important. Drink at least 3 liters.

#1 Cross at the green, not in-between. #2 Guys when lacing shoes, it's left over right.

Don´t compare how much you lift with others.

avoid trying to build muscle and lose fat at same time. it usually leaves you going no where.

Damn .. I had to learn that in the hard way.

i think devoting a lot of facts about creatine would be beneficial since many of the questions here pertain to that subject. unfortunately, i think opinions vary here about some things ... i.e. the cycling of creatine.

No need to cycle creatine!

Yes, no need to cycle or load it. Don´t overdo it as well. Like 20 g, not because it is dangerous but because it is a waste of money.

Vitamins & minerals and fish oil are essential.

Fish is better.

Fish oil is superior to Flax. I suggest reading the guide to cutting/bulking/maintenance.

Fuck. I just bought a new thing of Flax Seed Oil caplets. I might just buy the Fish Oil anyways.

High repetion for definition, that just doesn´t exist.

Don´t do cardio when bulking for fat reducing.
