To make clear the simplicity of bodybuilding I’ve arranged
a list of six basic keys to successful weight training.
They’re nothing new and read like the same stuff in any
motivational book on the market today. Yet they offer
valuable insight and are essential to getting started with
your exercise program… and sticking to it.
1. Set a realistic goal - short and long term.
2. Plan an orderly and thorough routine to train the entire
body.
3. Make a commitment to stick to your routine for 4-5 weeks
- - to begin to see changes and benefits, develop
perseverance and create a habit.
4. Enthusiasm for training must be recognized as the main
and driving force to perform successfully.
5. Ease into a training program with a wholesome,
thoughtful nutritional plan — proper food, order and amount
of consumption.
6. Be confident from the beginning that the application of
these sound principles will produce the desired results.
GOAL SETTING
Be realistic in your goal setting. It’s important from the
very beginning and throughout your training to experience
victory in each and every workout. Ease into your training
with good energy, being careful not to overload yourself
and fall victim to mental and physical burnout. Planning to
look like Rambo by the end of summer will be frustrating
and you may give up your training entirely.
ORDER IN TRAINING
Decide how much time you have to devote to your training -
how many hours per day and how many days per week. Based on
this schedule, design an orderly and efficient routine that
includes only basic exercises. Working your mid-section
first, followed by chest, back shoulders, biceps, triceps
and legs is always a good rule of thumb. Choose two
exercises per bodypart, three to four sets of 8 to 12 reps
with a day’s rest between muscle groups if you’re just
getting started.
In organizing an exercise program, keep your eyes and ears
open. Scan the Web, magazines and books, visit the gyms and
get input from your friends and mentors. An orderly and
intelligent training routine is the major tool in achieving
your bodybuilding goals.
COMMITMENT
We now come to commitment, the Big Power Switch of our
mental mechanism to see if we have the juice to crank over
the engine and keep it running. Commitment is your personal
promise - your word of honor - to realize your challenge
and is vital in aspiration. The naturally occurring
ingredients of commitment are consistency, persistence and
determination. These gut disciplines engaged with patience
and faith set you in positive motion toward your muscular
goals.
ENTHUSIASM
Each workout is a unique and separate experience unto
itself. Events of the day, mood, energy levels and tensions
effect every performance differently. Gather up as much
enthusiasm as possible before each workout so you enter the
gym with energy and a positive attitude. Your training must
not become drudgery or a chore that has to be done. This is
negative energy, producing negative results and must be
willfully resisted.
PACE AND ATTITUDE
Keep your workouts tight and efficient, leaving no room for
boredom or idle thought. You should quickly develop a
mature training attitude allowing no interruptions in the
flow of exercise from start to finish. This is not to
suggest that you hurry in your training. A hurried attitude
produces anxiety, nervousness and agitation, resulting in
negative performance and loss of concentration. Quite the
opposite, here I encourage a steady lean on your training -
setting a vigorous pace that reflects excitement,
confidence and determination.
Become totally involved with each workout, each set and
each rep. Focus on the performance of the exercise, the
muscles involved and the feelings that result. Look for
your particular groove and sense the burn. Training form is
your priority and practice makes perfect. Learn to lift
weights smoothly, sacrificing the poundage used to gain
quality in your performance. Don’t be anxious to overload
your body and struggle to lift more than you can handle.
This will create poor style and result in disappointment.
These register as failures and drain your resources.
These oh-so-basics points will determine the success of
your new exercise program.
