Today it seems like every new weight trainer and
bodybuilder is looking for the perfect muscle mass building
routines and best supplement to solve their problem for
lack or growth. They believe that if they can just find the
right program or revolutionary new supplement that all of
their muscle mass building problems will be gone.
The first mistake that's being made is that they are
looking for "something out there" that can achieve the
results that they want so bad. The truth is, the answer
isn't "out there." You'll only get the results you want
through applying the right information and working hard
consistently and persistently. It is vitally important to
have a properly designed workout program and a diet plan
for building muscle mass, though one of the key factors
that most weight trainers leave out is a very basic one:
hard work.
Plain and simply most trainees today just don't work hard
enough on their exercises. Working hard on a half-way
decent exercise will bring more results then a haphazard
attempt on the best exercise in the world. If you a are a
hardgainer - someone who is naturally skinny and has a hard
time gaining weight and building muscle mass quickly - then
the proper workout routine and diet will do you no good if
you don't put 110 % effort into it.
Most weight trainers and bodybuilders today pass up many
muscle mass building routines and waste much of their time
jumping back and forth between routines when all they have
to do is stick with their program the whole time through
and consistently work hard.
If you are not sure whether or not you are working hard
enough on your exercises, then you are not working hard
enough. If you think you are working hard enough on your
exercises then you probably still aren't working hard
enough on your exercises.
If you say yes to any of the following questions, you are
not working hard enough:
- Are you sometimes thinking of something other then your
workout while at the gym?
-Do you ever find yourself constantly talking and having
conversations with others while working out?
-Do you ever go to the gym tired, hungry, and/or unprepared?
-Assuming you are taking all safety precautions, do you
usually find yourself mentally quitting before you are
finished physically on a set or rep?
- Are you not constantly keeping track and progressing each
week, whether it's more weight or more reps?
Keep in mind that when I say hard work, I am talking about
the effort you put into your exercises, not how much or how
long you work out for.
Getting results in the gym, much like any worthwhile
success is about the quality of work you put in the gym,
not the quantity.
If you really want to gain weight and build muscle fast
then hard work is not an option. You can fiddle around with
a bunch of exercises and great routines all you want, but
if you want results, you have to earn it through your own
sweat and tears.
This shouldn't be a disappointing reminder for most of you.
There is great joy and a sense of power that we can get
from hard work, and weight training is one of the purest
and rawest of forms. There is really nothing else out there
that can relate to the ruthless and barbaric ways of weight
training.
It is, in essence, man's closest expression for good old
fashion hard work. And the results are always well, well
worth the work. As long as we have a solid routine and a
proper and consistent diet, you can really learn to enjoy
the hard work and the process of growth and development,
both physically and mentally.
As much as the industry can try, technology can never
replace hard work in weight training for results. Sure,
there are supplements and machines and equipment coming out
everyday that claim to make our journey to greater muscle
seem "easier," but none of these alone will replace the key
ingredient for results in bodybuilding.
So if you have been looking for some magic formula to fix
all your weight gaining and muscle mass building problems,
perhaps you need not look further then inside. We can all
always ask ourselves honestly whether or not we are really
working as hard as we should be.
And remember, don't kid yourself, you'll only be cheating
yourself, no one else. Success is 10% inspiration and 90%
perspiration. Keep that in mind next time you are trying to
spot the cause for any lack of progress you may be having.
