Bodybuilding Contest Preparation

When dieting for a bodybuilding contest or similar event, one of the hardest to get that mind is the concept of loss of body fat. This reduces the total body mass and lose psychologically it may seem to the size of the untrained eye when their shirts are not as strong as you read your face and starts to look drawn and depressed - the comments received are not always encouraging, because "you've lost weight" and "Are you okay, you're bad." I remember these words very well, but I had a very good coach at the time that I guard on the way, confirming that this is in the right direction and should go ahead with fat loss. I get twice as big as 30 pounds in weight, but has been able to make this possible.





My suggestion on the above, if your goal is to be in the best shape of your life for a bodybuilding competition or for personal reasons, is to ask someone you trust and who has been in good shape to challenge their to watch over you and maybe check once a week to ensure that they continue to lose body fat. This process can be done for its own analysis, but the problem here is that when the brain suffers from a lack of glycogen self-judgment can be confusing and many things can go wrong in the final stages to come to a competition bodybuilding.

The increase in weight or body mass should not be confused with the increase in muscle tissue, but it is impossible to increase lean body mass without increasing fat and water retention, because they are part of the body composition. However, it is possible to keep fat gain to a minimum so that it is easier when it's time to go on a diet. Also, an important note, my experience and thoughts of colleagues athletes, carrying more volume in the offseason does not necessarily mean that you can push heavy weights.

Optimal training can be achieved with a lighter weight to about 10% by weight of the competition (lean weight perfect) and this seems to be the appropriate body weight for maximum strength. If you weigh more than this season will put unnecessary pressure on the body, which can have a negative effect on lean tissue held when the weight of food that the athlete has more severe diet to lose fat while this which can result in a greater loss of lean tissue. I found it interesting when dieting for a contest that my strength levels have remained the same, even in the midst of your calorie intake and do more work in the form of aerobics - I think it has a lot to do with the state of mind, especially for a competitive athlete.

In short, make a greater effort to maintain your weight after an event. Approximately 10-12% of body weight weight gain competitive (or personal event) is sufficient to gain muscle in the offseason called. I guarantee you that doing again this regime when it is much larger and more complete in the muscle in the final result.
