We all want to achieve the fastest bodybuilding gains.  Sometimes bodybuilders focus their attention on the latest and greatest supplements on the market in hopes to accelerate gains.  However, do you want a tip that will really maximize your gains?  Check your exercise form and lift the weights properly.

As obvious as this may sound, in practice what you see over and over again in gyms all across the world is a lot of heavy lifting with very poor exercise form.  Keep in mind that bodybuilding is not just about lifting a weight from point A to point B.  The goal is to use the weights as a tool to make the muscles contract and stimulate them to grow.  So what is the proper way for bodybuilders to lift the weight?

You need to feel the muscle contract as you execute the movement and then you need to feel it elongate during the stretch position.  If you are just getting started, I suggest that you take 2 seconds to lift the weight (the positive portion of the exercise) and 3-4 seconds to lower it (the negative portion of the exercise).  Make sure that you go through the full range of motion and avoid swinging motions or using momentum to get the weight lifted.  Become an expert at creating a mind to muscle connection that will activate as many muscle fibers as possible when you lift the weight.

Think of bodybuilding exercise as posing but with weights.  So for example, if you do a biceps curl, focus on the squeeze of the biceps and then on the stretch as you take the weight back to the starting position.  The upper arms should remain stationary and only the forearms should move as you focus on making the biceps stretch and then contract as hard as possible.  The better you become at creating a mind to muscle connection by concentrating on lifting properly the better your bodybuilding gains will be.  You may need to back off a bit on the weight lifted at first but I guarantee you that the results will be well worth it!

As someone who has played around with many bodybuilding tactics over the last two decades, I can tell you that the strategy of eating like a pig in order to gain muscle will leave you, unfortunately, looking like one. With the exception of hardgainers who have a super fast metabolism, most of us need to focus on consuming quality calories in order to gain muscle. Furthermore, we cannot consume calories indiscriminately as again, doing so will invariable result in too much fat gain.

Because I have gotten a lot of emails lately on this subject, here is an article that I put together that will clear up the confusion: Bodybuilding Tips for Bulking Up Without Gaining Fat

Like I have mentioned countless times before, bodybuilding is the best weapon for women to lose weight and get toned. Remember that while cardiovascular exercise burns calories, and I recommend it at least 3 times a week for 20 minutes, it does little to re-shape your body and it cannot permanently increase your metabolism the way that weight training does.  Thus, women who enslave doing countless of hours of cardio in hopes that they will achieve a lean and toned physique are unfortunately wasting their time.

One question I get often from women is how to fix the issue of flabby triceps.  Just like with any other trouble spot, the remedy comes in the form of the right amount of bodybuilding training, with some cardiovascular exercise and the right fat burning diet.

What's a good training routine for the arms?  I will let champion natural bodybuilder and Registered Nurse Cecile Bayeul show you the right way to getting toned arms.
