The Lifestyle of a Bodybuilder – Pt.2
It’s been a few months, but I’m back for good now. Thanks for sticking around.
I had to take sometime and get things in order for myself so that I could be of the best benefit to you guys. This blog is all about good quality info and I wanted to be sure that I provided you with that.
Now, to continue where I left off…
The lifestyle of a bodybuilder first takes the decision to change your body, but where do you go from there?
The next biggest step in the equation, I feel, is to get your eating habits in order.
Right or wrong nutrition can be the deal breaker in your quest to your new body.
This sounds simple, but changing a habit is never easy, especially one that’s crucial to your survival such as eating.
Because it’s not easy, this is where the first test of your decision comes into place.
I’ve gone into detail about what to eat in Eating to Build Muscle and Bodybuilding Nutrition blogs.
I’ll go into better detail about proper nutritional timing in a later post that will add to the When to Eat to Build Muscle post.
This is a game changer guys. Going through your fridge right now and tossing out what shouldn’t be and going shopping for what should be will be a paradigm shift for you by itself.
I see so many beginners, and lifters in general, get this wrong. They think that a protein shake and some pills will be enough while the binge on pizza and burgers.
They look up 2 months later and wonder where all their hard work went.
I’ll do a post on supplements to give you the truth but think about this. Supplements are just what they say they are…to SUPPLEMENT. They are not REPLACEMENTS.
I’ve included a diagram below to put this whole thing into perspective.
Notice how supplements are like the icing on the cake, while nutrition is at the Base of the pyramid.
I’ll leave you with this. If you’re not serious about your diet, you’re not serious about building muscle.
Now, if you ARE serious about building muscle and learning about the proper nutrition, check out the muscle building program review page.

Until next time, Happy Lifting!

I like your triangle, with the supplements outlining the entire thing. I have a similar take on it but my 3 pillars are training (included weights, cardio, whatever else), rest, and nutrition. I really like how you put supplementation in proper perspective. There are no magic pills or elixirs, though it can certainly help.
Thanks Bill, for the great addition. I wrote an article on recovery for ezine that you can find here http://ezinearticles.com/?Bodybuilding-Recovery-Tips&id=3158788
