Everyone remembers the first time they touched weight, whether it was at a basement home-gym or the high school weight room. Everyone can recall those initial gains, when every workout seemed to spurn a new round of growth. Those “newbie gains” were sensational, and never were we able to grow again at such a rate. As bodybuilders move from “beginner” to “intermediate” trainer status, diet and training suddenly become fairly important.

I just look at myself and see imperfections here and there, and things I could do to change aspects of my physique, etc.  Am I ever going to be satisfied with a certain size or quality?

Beginning bodybuilders often train in a haphazard fashion in the gym. They walk into the gym, hop on the nearest free machine or bench, and then bounce around the gym, hitting random body parts on random machines, with no rhyme or reason. Intermediate bodybuilders are a bit wiser. They find a routine and stick with it. They know to start with the same two or three essential compound movements each time, then to move on to isolation movements. They know what exercises they will do, but they do vary the rep/set scheme to ensure some variety. Once you’ve been training for 3-4 years, you begin to get a feel for what works and what doesn’t. More advanced bodybuilders often utilize a technique known as ‘instinctive training’. They enter the gym knowing what body part they will be training. ...
