• Maintain consistency in all areas of your fitness. Bodybuilding requires a combination of proper diet, exercise, and rest. So, it’s important not to neglect any of those factors. You should always strive to make the most of every meal, workout, and get a full night’s sleep.
• Be smart about your training. Knowing what your body is capable of will save you from a lot of trouble. In the gym, you don’t have to impress anyone by lifting really heavy. The only way to continue making progress is by avoiding injuries. You should never sacrifice form just so you can appease your ego. Gradually work your way up to lifting heavier weights after you can perform working sets (6 to 10 reps) with a given poundage. In the 1990’s, 8 time Mr. Olympia, Lee Haney shared a similar philosophy which he cleverly expressed with the phrase, “Stimulate, don’t annihilate.”
• Set realistic goals to keep you focused. They will provide you with a systematic approach for making progress. You can’t expect to make tremendous gains all at once, so you have to be reasonable. People commonly refer to bodybuilding as a journey because it’s a process that requires time. It takes years of consistency to look your absolute best, especially if you want to do well competitively. The goals you set now will guide you towards the future.
