Good morrow,
Talking with countless Pro's and seeing them in action here is what is needed:
1. Good Genetics
2. Nutrient Timing-waking up every two hours to take in the right amount of proteins and carbs.
3. Shock Training. Mixing it up every now and then so it confuses the muscle.
4. Supplements like BCAA's, Chromium, Yohimbe, Glutamine, etc. etc.
5. Motivation. Hang posters on your bedroom wall, take on a training partner or hire a coach.
6. Rest. Naps throughout the day
7. Sleep. A solid 8-10 hours everynight uninterupted.
9. Atmosphere. Train at the right gym or home.
10. Reduce Stress. Don't worry.
11. Hydrate. Make sure you're taking in enough high quality water.
12. Calories. Trial and error...what amount is right for your body.
13. Quit your job or go down to part time to give bodybuilding full attention.
14. Reduce bad fats. We all know bad fat is bad for the heart.
15. Comfortable clothes. No one wants to train in restrictive clothing. Wear clothes that have a generous fit.
16. Don't drink alcohol. Empty calories mean empty gains.
17. Envision. Visualize yourself on stage and being the best.
18. Buy Posing trunks. Lay out these posing trunks everyday and try them on. This will make the dream more real.
19. Pick A Contest. The rubber is going to hit the road and setting a date gives you something to work towards and a time frame.
20. Reward yourself. Buy a new car to show up to the gym and show the guys and girls you can achieve your dreams.
STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
