Many men would want to look like the poster boys in muscle and fitness magazines showing off those lean and defined muscles in each body part.

But if one allows more time for the idea to set in, sometimes we realize that such may only be in our dreams  as evidenced by the many times we have failed in our quest towards a great looking and muscle-bound body through bodybuilding.

Yet one must not give in to negative thinking accept your limits, yes but not even trying and giving it your best shot, is definitely a no-no! You may have failed before  and many times at that. But today is a new day. And with a more determined you - you can change your destiny. You can make bodybuilding work for you.

First tip  is having the will and determination to really succeed this time. Having the resolve to go at it this time with a hundred percent effort  no less  should make the difference. Picture how you would look, the six-pack abs and everything  and imagine how you would feel, confident & secure  when you finally reached your goal of a lean & healthy body. Bodybuilding is really effective  it will work for you.

 
Second tip is to always think about your safety. When you are already mentally prepared to engage in a bodybuilding program, you should get the approval of your doctor. Your doctor should be able to determine whether you are fit to engage in such. If it's a go  then you can proceed with your bodybuilding program. And still with the element of safety in mind, you should carefully perform the exercises  as your trainer has explained and shown to you. This is to avoid injury and thus allowing you to come in regularly for your exercise program.

Third tip is to be consistent. You should go to the gym as per your schedule and follow your program religiously. You should work at it  and work closely with your personal trainer for any modifications necessary. The only time you should complain and not proceed is when you think your safety is at stake.

Fourth tip is to continually learn about bodybuilding. If you are already convinced enough with what bodybuilding can do for you, then you should not rely solely on your personal trainer's knowledge. You should do your own research about bodybuilding and how to best go about it for your case. There are many good books about bodybuilding that you can buy. There are also helpful websites that you can refer to deepen your knowledge about bodybuilding. Just make sure the authors of these books and websites are fully qualified  and knows what they are talking about.

The fifth tip is to continually challenge yourself in bodybuilding  this is with the assumption that you already have sufficient experience with this stuff and that you already have accumulated enough knowledge on how to go about this safely. This involves using the different routines or techniques in bodybuilding that are more advanced. When you go for these advanced techniques however, you can always ask your trainer on how to execute it correctly and safely. Again, never forget about tip number 2  all about safety.


The sixth tip is to eat healthy. Many have failed in their efforts to look lean and sculpted if they leave the quality of the food they eat out of the equation. If you really are serious about becoming fit and healthy  lean & muscular  then you should eat only healthy foods. Junk foods and sweets should be eliminated in your diet  or at least, kept to a minimum. If you want quick and effective results with your bodybuilding however  you should give up on foods that will do you no good. If you will be tempted however, remember also tip number one. You wouldn't want to fail again, would you?
