Top 10 Reasons Why Bodybuilders Fail To Grow
By Wade McNutt, National Natural Bodybuilding Champion
Are you frustrated with the lack of growth you’re experiencing?
Then read on…
FACT ONE the reason bodybuilders don’t grow is because they don’t
know what state their body is in to start with. Without
accurately assessing your current state you cannot determine
which system of training will help you reach your goals.
FACT TWO Bodybuilders don’t know how to change the state they are
in to induce growth. . Guess what? If you do not train properly
you will never stimulate you muscles to grow. Improper training
is one of the biggest reasons why most people never get the
desired results form training.
FACT THREE Bodybuilders do not know what route to take to get
there (build muscles). Most bodybuilders have no real system that
changes as there body gets used to the training stress they are
currently handling. They walk in the gym pick random exercises
and rep ranges put there time in and come home. Where is the
science in that?
FACT FOUR (which occurs primarily with steroid users who
artificially build there muscles) is athletes can’t keep the
muscles they built with drugs because they don’t know how to
train or eat in the first place. Once they stop taking drugs
there muscles disappear leaving them skinny, fat and in a worse
state then if they had never used drugs.
FACT FIVE Most bodybuilders do not regularly monitor biofeedback
to determine when to change their training to continue growing.
If you are not keeping record of your training there is no way
you are maximizing your gains. Journal keeping allows you to
track your process over years enabling you to fine tune your
training and keep the gains coming continuously.
FACT SIX Most people select exercises that work only work their
strengths. Seldom or rarely do they work on their weaknesses and
create a truly outstanding balanced physique.
FACT SEVEN Bodybuilders get sucked into bogus well marketed
supplements and glitzy magazine adds to look for quick fixes
instead of implementing a systemized, training and nutrition
program.
FACT EIGHT Most people do not generate enough intensity in the
gym to force the body to grow. Intensity is a very misunderstood
term in bodybuilding and most individuals are kidding themselves
into believing they are training intensely enough to really grow.
FACT NINE Very few bodybuilders actually invest in professional
specific coaching to help them achieve their best results.
Consider this, what athlete in the world got to the top of his
game without coaching. I will tell you, absolutely none! Many
bodybuilders erroneously think that they can maximize muscle
growth with out coaching. Guess what? They are dead wrong!
FACT TEN Most people let their EGO get in the way of learning the
correct and most efficient way of training. They do not listen to
or follow sound science or consider what other people have to
say. They spend their time shooting down authorities in the sport
or spouting off about their own hair brained training routine.
Great athletes are life long learners. They check their ego at
the door and are always looking for ways to improve, integrate
and apply new training information.
I could go on about these failure reasons for a whole book but
you get the idea. Analyze your own thoughts and training and see
if there is anything holding you back. Then eliminate your
weaknesses and move forward on the path to greatness. By constant
and honest self analysis you can be sure to achieve greatness in
any field.
Unfortunately, drug usage has become rampant in sport and society
itself. This is the current state of bodybuilding today. Many
athletes get frustrated with their progress and start using
drugs.
Current bodybuilding practices are so devoid of a scientific
system in training that it has led to widespread and insane drug
use. This abuse of drugs in turn has destroyed more physiques and
made the current crop of bodybuilders look more like cartoon
freaks and leftovers from the Frankenstein labs.
Not only have current bodybuilders lost the respect of society,
bodybuilding has become the laughing stock of the sport world.
The primary reason for this is that bodybuilders have lost
respect for themselves and their bodies.
True bodybuilding is about right training, nutritious eating, a
positive mental outlook, and a deep respect for yourself and
others. At Freaky Big Naturally we practice and teach these
ideals.
The bottom line is…
If you don’t know how to build muscles without drugs you can
never keep the muscles you build with drugs. Drugs are kind of
like traveling internationally without a passport. You may get to
your destination but you won’t be able to stay there and sooner
or late you will be deported back to where you came from.
