Are your friends and family noticing measurable changes in your physique? Have you added at least a couple of inches or more to all of your major muscle groups? Are you moving poundages on your squat, deadlift, bench press, row (and every other major compound exercise) that all feel substantially heavy for your body?
If you didn’t easily answer “yes” to all of the questions I just outlined above, then worrying about the smaller details of your physique is quite simply a waste of time at this point.
If you’re still in your bodybuilding “youth” and don’t already have a considerable amount of muscle mass to show for your efforts, I would strongly suggest taking these types of questions and eliminating them from your mind until you do.
Why is this? It is for the reason that diverting your attention onto such small and insignificant issues will only serve to distract you from the most essential and immediate job at hand. And what is the most vital and urgent job necessary at this time? Let’s develop as much muscle and strength for your body that can feasibly be accomplished!
Don’t worry about matching your biceps to your triceps, and forget about matching your chest to your back. It’s simply not worth worrying about these issues until later on, after you’ve significantly thickened up your entire body.
There is not need to obsess over details if you’re still a beginner and have been consistent in your training for less than a year. Alternatively, focus on the basic apparent issues at hand. In order to be successful in weight training, you must give yourself a realistic schedule and be consistent.
While lifting, continually add extra weight with as much effort and you can scrounge from deep within you and record every exercise you have performed. Finish the most difficult exercises and blast your way through the discomfort zones with energy.
Go to your kitchen and eat as many as six well balanced meals full of muscle building foods each day for a year.
To stay and feel healthy be sure to drink water, rest and take nutrition supplements. Expressed In Different Ways: PAY YOUR DUES FIRST!
Focusing on the fundamentals first and the details later is the most efficient path possible.
This is the mentality you need to bring to your bodybuilding program. Just as you wouldn’t attempt a complex guitar solo without learning basic chord shapes first, you also should not attempt to fine-tune and balance out your physique until you have a considerable amount of foundational muscle to work with first.
Developing a well muscled body isn’t brain surgery, but it does require a disciplined and determined mindset. And not until you’ve put in the work and effort, because impressive and muscular bodies have to be earned. Stop spreading out your focus onto every single minute issue that pops up. Continue your training in the gym!
