Body Building is intensely physically demanding. Anyone who takes on a body building regime will know it before they start and will be absolutely certain once they have started, that much of the work involved will come outside of the gym, with the requirement to keep your body in a condition where you can train in a sustainable, effective manner. There is no point going for it with all guns blazing in the gym if once you are back on the outside, you go straight for a burger and a beer! This would merely undo all the good work you have been doing at the gym.
Often, people feel that they can defy nature by lifting weights and bench pressing during the day, going for fast food at night, and taking supplements to make up for a less than perfect diet. These people are invariably in for a big surprise when their efforts in the weights room end up with them hitting the mother of all walls. It’s quite simple to explain why this happens, though. Dietary supplements are all well and good, but they do not undo the bad work done by unhealthy food.
Eating lean meat, eggs and cottage cheese for protein, potatoes, pasta and rice for carbohydrates, and fresh vegetables for the many nutrients they contain, is by far and away the best way of keeping a sustainable regime going. It will also mean that when you really want to go for a beer and a burger, you can do it without it having a serious negative impact.

7 Minute Muscle
When you look at the big guys who sweep the board at muscle building competitions time and again, one thing starts to stand out. When asked how they have attained their shape, they all give the same answer, and it is always “train, eat, train some more, eat some more, back to the gym, then eat again” and so on ad infinitum. The problem with this is not that it doesn’t work – it clearly does. The real problem is that it works because…
Your Weight in Muscle

You probably have heard that muscle weighs more than fat. Many people notice a small weight gain when they begin lifting weights consistently. As a general rule, if you lift weights 2 to 3 times a week, you can gain 1 pound of muscle per month for about 6 months. After that, the rate of increase slows down as you start to reach your genetic potential. For the same reason, you will make a lot of progress on weight progression at the beginning, but the longer you lift; your progression will lessen because you are reaching your genetic potential.
