Building Muscle - Knowledge

Building muscle involves a lot of knowledge about what works and what doesn’t. It is not just about reading up a lot of stuff – its easy to lose your focus when you try a bit of too many things. It always worries me when youngsters get hold of those magazines and devour them – because they are most definitely not for beginners.

They have stuff from professional body builders whose genetics are way beyond the regular guy down the street. These guys have the stamina for more weight training that you or I could handle – and they use performance enhancers that lets them work out more, and recover fast. So my friends, try to draw the line when it comes to ‘too much’ knowledge. In my experience, I’ve found that the more one knows the less one does.

Its better to know what actually makes your muscles grow and burns fat. Hopping from supplement to supplement won’t cut it. When you find it easy to understand, you are likelier to put it to practice. If not, you just get disappointed when you don’t seem to see results from your efforts, little realizing that you have not been consistent with your methods. Ok, so let me get off that armchair, by telling you that it is best to keep your ears open, browse around and learn what works – talk to people - and work out a plan that works for you!
