Title: What piece of advice would you give to a new bodybuilder?
Post by: OneMoreRep on January 12, 2011, 03:32:15 PM
A young stud approached me at the gym during a grueling set of scissor leg lifts and asked me about the ways in which he can attain size and strength.

One of the many things I told him to do was:

STAY AWAY FROM ALL OVER-THE-COUNTER SUPPLEMENTS.

What piece of advice would you guys give the youth who become interested in bodybuilding?  Limit your input to one specific thing.

I would say learn from an expert, and if you can't then do some research on the Internet or whatever yourself, but MAKE SURE, FROM THE SECOND YOU START, THAT YOU ARE PAYING ATTENTION TO YOUR INSTINCTS AND LEARNING HOW YOUR BODY REACTS TO TRAINING.

Other than that I'd tell him to up the dose.

Interesting that you say this...

In my gym, I see many youngsters going insane over the first 6 months or so, hoping to become Ronnie Coleman overnight.  When faced with the harsh reality that 6 months won't turn anyone (without a substantial foundation) into anything impressive, they lose it and get on AAS.

Oh, and every new lifter at my gym carries around a copy of either Flex or MD magazine and has it open, on the floor, while they do an exercise.  If the cover says "build massive biceps with Phil Heath's Bicep Blaster Routine", you then see the kids doing preacher curls with the magazine on the floor, in front of them, opened to that article's page.

I'm not a schmoe.  

I don't hang around bodybuilding expos longing to rub a professional bodybuilder's body.  I'm a dignified homosexual that will fuck the living shit out of the IFBB pros that are gay or curious.

You would be surprised at the amount of homosexual IFBB pros that are out there on the circuit.  If gh15 were to switch gears and pull the covers on these "heroes" some of you might start pulling those posters down from your bedroom ceilings.

No over the counter anything. No matter how big the guy is that is telling you to use some. Use only Liquid egg whites for supplementing your protein with you reg/food. Everything else is basically bunk.  Before you increase the weights, learn as much as you can about the muscle/mind connection. If you ever get a major mental illness and find yourself wanting to become a serial killer, you may want to consider taking out Palumbo first. You would be looked at as a hero in most the world.

so what your saying is jump on mega doses from the getgo instead of working up to them gradually year after year?  we all know how that turns out. Part of the reason there is no good bodybuilders as of today. Guys jumping on slin wthin their first year or steroids. Phil heath for example. Of course I could be totally wrong but wouldnt this not explain the shit bbers of today?

Before buying a gym membership and possibly worrying about others watching you as you struggle to lift baby weight (which will cause you to try to lift weight that you can't handle with brutal form), train at home (with a simple dumbbell and barbell set) until you have good familiarity with the proper form required on the basic bread and butter exercises.

The biggest mistake that I made when I started was not giving myself enough rest days in between training sessions.  I think I tried to copy a training split that I saw in a mag (like 3 on and one off) and I didn't realize that you grow when your body is resting/recuperating.

With the way things have been going lately on this forum, the prevailing 'theme' would seem to dictate something along the lines of: "Don't do it..."


If this game of bodybuilding had more to do with lifting weights and being healthy -- as opposed to the dominating drug factor, maybe one might recommend something of value, but for now?


Fuck it. Forget it.


Too dangerous. Dead end.


Worthless. Waste of fucking time.


You could always advise "natural" bodybuilding, but that is an oxyMORON for morons, right?


Why would someone want a Prius when everyone else is driving an Aston?

With the way things have been going lately on this forum, the prevailing 'theme' would seem to dictate something along the lines of: "Don't do it..."


If this game of bodybuilding had more to do with lifting weights and being healthy -- as opposed to the dominating drug factor, maybe one might recommend something of value, but for now?


Fuck it. Forget it.


Too dangerous. Dead end.


Worthless. Waste of fucking time.


You could always advise "natural" bodybuilding, but that is an oxyMORON for morons, right?


Why would someone want a Prius when everyone else is driving an Aston?

meltdown.

cliff notes please.

To the OP:
Beginner should start with a focus on holistic training and establishing some basic strength and coordination. A program like HST (full body routine) would be good with machine exercises. Get an experienced trainer to show you how to perform them. Read up on your own to verify what you're doing is correct.

if your a teen, with good response to training, a good build ( small joints,  big muscle bellys) dont fuck about playing it safe, hit it realy hard...

train from 16 to 19 natty, learn your form, get your poundages respectable, get used to dieting... then hit the gear properly, stay on all year round and try your luck on the stage, you can realy change your body at the point of your life.

I always remember the older gym crowd from the late 80's, they always used to stress correct form.  It's not until you're much older that you then slow down, not pursue the egotistical lifts of young and start to use proper form with moderate weights, which then allows you to see better growth/definition.

Funny, I have a friend who is ripped at 145 and 5'7. Takes various illegal things to stay that way... but he looks so small unless he is in a wife beater.. which by the way.. happens a lot. A group of us were out at a club and he was getting no action.. I leave for a moment and come back and he had taken his dress shirt off and tied it around his waiste to show off his muscles in a wife beater... I had to find another part of the club to hang out in...

Totally - the best person to listen to advice about correct form is Dorian Yates.

How to do exercises properly in tune with the body's physiological make-up is what will stimulate growth better than just throwing weights up just to get from A to B. Too many young kids who are getting into training are copying videos they see on the internet of Branch Warren and Ronnie Coleman who have awful form and they think if they train like that they'll grow the same way - complete nonsense. They think that lifting as heavy their ego will allow is the only way to train. They're deluding themselves - I see it in my gym every day.

Even if you get good advice, without experience it's next to meaningless.

Whenever I read a really good article or post, I always stop and realize how I only know it's so good because I have seen these things firsthand.  You can go over the words and have them in your head, but unless you've seen the truth in them firsthand they will never stick.

It's kind of like how you read a word in a dictionary, and the definition makes sense but it's describing a concept you have no familiarity with.  You forget what the world really means instantly.

I missed this bit. Bench was probably my worst lift - most I did was 315 for a double. My best lift was the deadlift.

I did 585 for a double, but not off the floor. I had to grab it off the power rack, with the pins set at just above my knee level. So 600 was out of the question, although I think I can get there one day.

It targets your inner quads and upper traps more, but I don't like the way it feels. I normally use the sumo style only when I do partials on the power rack, to mix things up a bit.

Depends on the lifter.

1) Sumo brings in more of the hip, quad, and glutes. Conventional pulling involves more of the back.

2) It cuts down on the ROM of the lift. So many Powerlifters do it to move more weight.

3) Some feel it allows for better back position and a tighter pull/ better bar path. The bar doesn't travel out infront of them so much.

If I may sound stupid, which I'm sure this is a dumb question..but what are the benefits of sumo

You can pull big weights even if you're weak. Many say that sumo pulling is easier than conventional, and in general that is not true, since most world records are pulled in conventional. But sumo pull relies on legs, and takes weight off of the lower back. So the lazy powerlifters of today who do nothing but squat and bench (since there are the biggest poundages) can pull big too with their girly low backs. I don't consider a sumo a real deadlift. Not because it's easy, but because it's a squat.

I have pulled 4 metric plates for 4 reps and benched 2 plates for a max a looong time ago. Now chasing two plates at the overhead press. Never truly back squatted but have full front squatted 130 kg/286 lbs.

Oh yeah, so if you thought I'm a powerlifter myself, nope, I'm not.  :) But I have interest in all strength sports.
