Hi, my name is Alex Cameron, and im a competitive ametuer body builder. Ive just put together a great resource site on body building and lean muscle. I wish to share with you, some of my fav tips for getting your body building started on the right track.
The most important part of your routine is to eat properly!
You hear it time and time again. Many people know that its much harder to stick to the right diet plan than it is to stick to the gym sessions. Im aware of this, and know this because Ive been in your shoes before. It wasnt until I turned the advice into action that I actually put on weight and size.
The most common diet error, is that people assume to get massive, youve got to eat tons of protien and little else. Be careful of this advice!
In an ideal world, what you should be doing is waiting till the times of day when your metabolism siganls that its ready for the protien hit. You really want to ‘wake’ your body into the day by taking on morning foods that stimulate the muscle and dijestive system.
For breakfast, carb and fibre is the order of the day. Get plenty in. Wholegrains, oats, porridge and grain toasts with a quality olive oil spread is a good option. Fruits provide vitamens and fibre is incredible for dijestive health, and ensuring the stomach is ready for the protien blast you will unleash on it later in the day.
Try a shake in the morning but save the harder to digest protiens for the afternoon, such as meats or beef/steak.
By morning tea time, or 10am, you should be ready for another hit. Now is when something like brown rice and brocolli or perhaps a tub of cottage cheese (250g) is perfect. If your having a sweet craving a low fat low sugar yoghurt is a good option, with some strawberries and wholemeal bread.
