BODYBUILDERS MUST MAKE THESE HABITS



BODYBUILDERS HAVE  ALMOST SAME HABITS

·       CONSISTENCY

          It is the key to success in bodybuilding .All successful bodybuilders follow the diet as well as training schedule with full consistency. Unless you're sick, there's no excuse not to go to the gym. Follow your schedule like clockwork, and reap the inevitable benefits down the road.


·       EAT OFTEN



Keep on supplying the required nutrition to your guns after  every 2 to 3 hours for best results in accordance to muscles growth , strength and stamina.
.
·       TAKE ENOUGH PROTEIN

Protein is the building blocks to your muscles, so keep it readily available for your body at all times. Aim to get 35-40 grams of protein with each small meal, or at least get one gram of protein per pound of bodyweight per day.

·       TAKE SUFFICIENT REST AND SLEEP



When you sleep, human  growth hormones are released and a lot of the recovery takes place. If you go skimpy on the sleep, you're robbing your body of its best opportunity to grow. To avoid this, make sure to get at least 8 to 10 hours of sleep every night.


·       REMAIN HYDRATED

Staying hydrated is important for everything from digestion to endurance. The bottom line is that your body depends on water to remain functional, just like a car requires oil to run, and as soon as you get dehydrated you're weaker, less mentally alert, and overall in less-than-perfect condition.

·       DON’T  IGNORE CARDIO

Cardio increases your overall cardiovascular condition, which is crucial in compound exercises such as squats and deadlifts. If your lungs can't process enough air, you'll be exhausted by oxygen depletion, not muscular failure, by the end of your set.
      Besides, you're not young forever, and keeping your heart in shape now will give you a great   advantage as you grow old. Try to get at least 2-3 cardio sessions per week.

·       STRETCHING



Big muscles don’t have to equal stiff muscles. Maintain and improve your flexibility by taking your stretching seriously. In addition to getting better blood flow (less soreness) and decrease the risk of injury, your flexibility will help your workout form as well.

·       USE NATURAL  SOURCE OF NUTRITION  MORE THAN ANABOLIC SOURCES AND SUPPLIMENTS

You can never depend of supplements and anabolic steroids  alone to carry you forward. Their are many good sources of natural supplementation for body growth. Supplements should be just that - supplements .supplements only provide benefits to your body when you are getting enough natural nutritional sources.


·       SPIRIT UP AND MOTIVATION LEVEL HIGH

Always think positive and maintain optimistic approach towards bodybuilding try to keep yourself  motivated by watching bodybuilding videos.

·       TRAIN SMART NOT LONG

                 Never try to remove your frustration on gym equipments or weights. “work smarter, not harder."  The bodybuilding version is "train smarter and harder." You must approach each workout as a challenge to push yourself out of the comfort zone, striving to get as much muscular stress as possible into your workout.

Ectomorphs - Diet Plan






As we know that ectomorphs are the weakest among all body types so their diet must be different from others.

   Ø  The normal adult should take about 2400 calories in a day. But in ectomorphs, metabolism and catabolism rate is fast so their calories intake must be greater than 2800 calories if your physical workout over a day is normal or less than normal.

   Ø  But the ectomorphs who wish to do bodybuilding or just for gym beginners the intake must be around   3000 calories a day.

  
   Ø  Ectomorphs diet must be consist of 50 % carbohydrates, 25% protein and 25% fat. Because if the calories from carbs are less than the amount mentioned above then their muscles are used up by their body for energy and growth process remains as it is or further slowdown.
