First advice: take care of your diet – you should know that after the process of workout your muscles need to recuperate and relax. Your body needs to get a constant amount of proteins. It is important to make sure that you consume small protein rich meals every 2 to 3 hours. Missing out enough protein will make your muscles in an unrepaired state and they will not be able to further develop properly.

Second advice: find the proper workout system that is suitable for your body type - the exercises that you undertake initiate the production of natural testosterone cypionate which represents hormone responsible for the natural growth of muscles. The quantity of this hormone is naturally present in females, but in far less amounts than in males, and the stimulation of its production is very important for the increase and development of muscles. Compound exercises act on multiple muscle groups simultaneously and assist in the growth and development of several muscles at one time. The best compound exercises include deadlifts, and bench press squats. These exercises are very important for natural female bodybuilding.

Third advice: choose the food you consume before sleep – this food determine the growth of muscles and their shape. It has already been mentioned that the intake of protein every 2 to 3 hours helps the muscles to recuperate and relax. This process continues day and night. The muscles keep mending also when you sleep. So your protein requirement remains the same even when you are sleeping. Try to consume a diet rich in proteins and fats before you go to bed because a sufficient amount of protein and fat slow down the process of digestion. With a proper evening regime with fat and proteins the supply to the body cells in continuously maintained.

If we will make a list of reasons that inhibit the growth of your accomplishments in the bodybuilding process, then certainly the biggest cause of your failures - it's a habit to skip your workouts.

You should always go to training! And there should be no reason to pass: Illness, work, study or fatigue. If you fell that you don’t have enough power, just reduce your exercise program, it is still better than to skip your workout. It is very important to properly arrange the priorities. In power sports, the most important - is patience and consistency.

Many beginners who start going to the gym burned in a month. The word "burn" in this sense means the loss of motivation, despair and disappointment in itself. However you should prove that you are a strong person and continue pursuing your regime of workout.

Remember the most important thing and keep in mind these words: Each workout - this is a step forward and each missed workout - its 10 steps back. Once again that should be no reasons to skip your workout.

And remember: Never doubt yourself. You can not be a champion since the birth, but you can become one and remember that a champion lives in each one of us.

Entering into any gym, you can see that some experienced bodybuilders wear athletic belt. Among the newcomers belts are also popular, but not everyone is able to explain its proper use and necessity.

Weightlifting belts are widely used by people for bodybuilding, powerlifting and weightlifting. In America, the use of this item was more widespread than in Europe. What is the use of this element for athletes? There are several arguments in favor of athletic belt for those who practice lifting large weights.

• First, the belt can be supportive. It acts as an external physical force, against which the athlete's body will make effort when lifting weights. Once you have tightened the belt, it makes an artificial fixation of the lumbar intervertebral discs and spine. This reduces the risk of injury when performing exercises with heavy weights.

• Secondly, the belt presses on the body and it reminds the athlete of the need to keep the spine in the correct position and lumbar strain muscles.

• Third, using the abdominal muscles the athlete exerts force against the athletic zone, the body becomes more rigid.

• The belt keeps the lower back warm.


There are several types themselves belts. They differ in their purpose and by design.

The goal of majority of women is to achieve the perfect body shape. Many of them fail to achieve it because they do not make the necessary amount of efforts, while others fail even while doing exercises due to the fact that they follow the wrong kind of training. Another problem is that many women to attain the perfect body shape irrespective of their age. For example older people might more difficult to shape their body because their muscles become weaker with the passage of time. Exercises like weight lifting might not suit aged women and they should follow this training program, only when advised by their physician. Older women should attempt to shape their body through simple exercises like climbing stairs, sit-ups, walking, simple free hand and leg exercises. These series of exercises may improve the blood circulation and the entire body metabolism.

The undertaken exercises should also be suitable to the individual body structure. A body-shaping program represents a combination of several fitness principles, exercises and nutrition plan. This program deals with many aspects as like fat loss, reduction of cellulite, reducing inches and losing the stomach flab, proper muscle shaping, skin tightening, shaping thighs or other parts of the body. In this case a proper diet is also a very important factor.

Younger women often use severe dieting to achieve the perfect body shape, not realizing all the nuances and facts. To obtain a good body shape women must eat healthy food like fresh vegetable and fruits and avoid fast food and other undesirable products. And of course this diet should be followed by an active exercising program Useful activities for young women, besides regular training would be rock-climbing, surfing, aerobics and kickboxing.


Women that intend to lose body fat to achieve the aspired body shape need to do cardiovascular exercises. These exercises should be made half hour or more per day. In this sense aerobics is one of the most useful training processes. If a woman athlete continues to do her training exercises properly and follows the correct dietary regime she can expect to achieve the desired results.

Women interested in shaping up their body must understand that there is a difference between bodybuilding and body shaping. Exercises like power lifting or weight lifting are not always suitable and often does not lead to the expected result in shaping the female human body.

Make a clear training plan and stick to it for about 4-6 weeks. Use your creative zeal and make high-intensity trainings and within a month you will notice the results.

Do not grab from the beginning heaviest weights! This applies to both hands, and to any part of the body. In the beginning do 2 light warm up sets, and only the in the third one handle the maximum weight.

Work at a moderate speed and complete control when lowering the weight. Proper performance of the eccentric movement, not only working helps you gain mass, but also protects against injury.

Development of the biceps requires perfect technique, especially at the initial stage. Learn to work technically, and leave the "cheating" to the professionals.

At the point of peak reduction use an additional strain on biceps. This offers a great "pump" and accelerate muscle growth.

Work through all sorts of biceps exercises. Avoid monotony in training change often the complexes.

Rest between sets for at least 1 minute. Continue to exercise at a different group of muscles after 3-5 minutes of rest.

Remember: the main part of the body it’s your head or to be more precise your thinking. Learn how to monitor the brain activity of the muscles. For the development of the biceps it is particularly important.

Female bodybuilding is the female component of competitive bodybuilding. It began in the late 1970s when women began to take part in bodybuilding competitions. There are two other categories of competition that are closely related to bodybuilding, and are frequently held as part of the same event. Fitness competition has a swimsuit round, and a round that is judged on the performance of a routine including aerobics, dance, or gymnastics. Figure competition is a newer format, judged solely on symmetry and muscle tone, with much less emphasis on muscle size than in bodybuilding. The opinions regarding the women bodybuilding are quite different, some people find them ugly and to masculzing, some admire their strength and unique beauty.

The military press is for the deltoid muscles. The front deltoid is the biggest muscle here and a pressing movement with a barbell is basic to its development. Your grip on the bar should be about 5 inches wider than your shoulders. Sitting with your feet approximately a foot apart, lift the barbell from the floor to the chest area, which is called cleaning the weight; then in a second movement press it slowly and smoothly over your head and lock your elbows. This exercise can also be performed from a standing position; however, I prefer the sitting version because it eliminates excessive strain on the lower back. I would strongly recommend that you use a sturdy lifting belt. Again, you can use the add-weight principle.

As we know the fish literally saturated with fat. The question is whether it is harmful for our body? In this case of fat the answer is definitely “no”. Quite the opposite, there is a variety of fish fat (Omega 3), which is wildly important for a bodybuilder. It acts like a steroid! Moreover, it increases the sensitivity of muscle cells to insulin. As a result, more glucose enters the cells - increasing the strength and mass! The Omega-3 also helps to inject into the muscle more amino acids which again lead to the increasing of mass! It saves the glycogen and increases the level of glutamine in the muscles.

In essence Omega 3 fatty acids are fats commonly found in marine and plant oils. They are considered essential fatty acids, meaning that they cannot be synthesized by the human body but are vital for normal metabolism. Common sources of Omega 3 fatty acids include fish oils, algal oil, squid oil, and some plant oils such as echium oil and flaxseed oil.
