Build Up To Bodybuilding

Posted on by

Are you considering starting some weight training and bodybuilding? Here are some top tips to build up to it safely.

Tips for building up to bodybuilding safely

  • Learn good form – Learning good form using weights is an important part of the journey. If you dive in with no instruction, you can end up hurt. Alongside the safety aspect, your progress will be hindered without good form.
  • Be aware of any old injuries – All too often people take up a new workout regimen without fully taking into account any old injuries. Especially if they involve core or back issues – these can derail training quickly and cause permanent damage. If you take them into account and advise your trainer, you can save yourself a world of pain.
  • Add more protein to your diet – Eat more eggs, chicken, fish, milk and nuts. You will notice that it is sometimes hard to eat as much protein as you need in bodybuilding, so adding protein shakes into your routine is a good idea.

  • Steer clear of processed and sugary foods – If you want to work towards being a bodybuilder, you will need to cut out the junk and work with foods that will give your body long-lasting fuel and nutrition.
  • Stick to dumbbells and barbells to start – It’s easy to get drawn in by all the high tech equipment at gyms, but actually, using free weights is the most effective when starting out your journey to bodybuilding. They also encourage good form!
