1. PLAY NICE - Staying loose is super important in training quads. That means elongating the muscles first by stretching. You don't often see a lot of huge guys stretching, but pros like Mike Matarazzo and Flex Wheeler made stretching a part of the beginning of each leg routine. Not only does it elongate, it engorges muscles with blood. The more you stretch, the more blood goes in. Start with quads and then move to hamstrings.

Body building is a very competitive sport and that is why many people are usually stressed up when they take up bodybuilding. Therefore if you are a novice at bodybuilding do not be discouraged if you find yourself being stressed all the time. When you are working out hormones come into play and that is why you end up becoming very irritated by small things.
When you use steroids in your bodybuilding routine you will heighten the amount of stress you have. The reason is because steroids tend to cause hormonal imbalance in the body and when this happens you end up getting mood swings and depression.

“How much ya bench?” The question has been asked a million times in a million gyms. Perhaps the first exercise most bodybuilders utilize when entering the gym – and the measurement stick for gym prowess - is the bench press. Because of this, many trainers spend a disproportionate amount of gym time bench pressing, and not enough time on other chest movements. As a result, their chests become disproportionately built; thick in the middle, of course, but lacking in the upper and outer areas. This leads to a bunched-up look in the chest area on the bodybuilding stage. The solution, as with most things, is intelligent training. Selection of exercises and techniques to focus on different areas of the pectorals can solve this problem.

Q: I really want to do two training sessions a day, but don't know how to prepare for it since my endurance is really lacking. Even though I'm doing strength and mass gaining workouts, I suspect it's going to kick my ass! What do you guys suggest to get ready for doing that? I mean, I do cardio a couple times a week, but it's obviously not enough. What should I do? Posted in: Q&A | | Comments Off
Q: How big is too big? I know that sounds dumb to ask, since Ronnie Coleman is Mr. O and Jay Cutler is #2, but I can't help but ask, when is size enough? Is there an enough, or should you keep striving for more size? I'm 5'7" and everyone I know says, "You're huge!" 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?
Most bodybuilders follow one of the standard workout routines. They might start the week with chest/triceps day. Next might be back/biceps. Follow that with a shoulder day, then a leg day, and you have the standard workout routine.
