Many beginners in the gym ask questions of that, how much time you needhow much time you need to shake to look as Shvartsennegger. Or to see the first results. Unfortunately, on this question there is no definite answer – progress in growth of muscle bulk depends on very many factors including from specific features of the organism.
General recommendations of coaches of bodybuilding are as follows: to see the first results of the trainings, it is necessary to be engaged not less than a year. To look the true body builder and to have the opportunity to participate in competitions – not less than 5 years. In reality if not to consider the set of important factors, this time can increase many times.
First of all, the genetic predisposition has powerful impact on growth of muscles. With it there's nothing to be done: to someone it is allowed to draw well talent, to someone – to study sciences, and to someone – to achieve success in sport. For example, the same Shvartsennegger has the obvious genetic predisposition to bodybuilding: before he was fond of the post, he tried many different types of sport and in each of them tried to obtain serious progress. But, on the other hand, the lack of inherited qualities doesn't mean that the athlete will never achieve prizes at competitions. The example – Frank Zahn, the three-time winner of the competitions "Mr. Olympia" who managed to construct excellent muscles on the thin-boned skeleton that was considered as almost impossible earlier.
The second important factor – the training program. If for beginners the standard simple program of trainings suitable for all is recommended, then advanced athletes should experiment, try various training schemes which are ideal under features of their organism. For example, to pump up breast muscles, it is better for one body builder to carry out 2-3 repetitions with the maximum weight, and to another of 20 repetitions with easier burdenings.
The same can be told about the frequency of trainings. Experts recommend to be engaged 3 times a week so that duration of the training didn't exceed one hour, and rest between occupations was not less than a day. There are split systems when which using it is necessary to train 6 times a week. However they are suitable only for skilled bodybuilders, and that not for all. Many champions on the bidibuilding never used splita just because it isn't suitable for them. But also even the standard program of trainings from 3 occupations a week can suit not everyone. If, for example, the athlete earns the living by hard physical work or it had small children, and he is forced to get up to them at night, 3 times a week are much. With such pace the athlete quickly receives overfatigue, and growth of muscles slows down. Such people should train 2 or even once a week. The third defining factor – food and the healthy lifestyle. If the athlete drinks and smokes if he eats somehow, he can shake for years and not see noticeable results. To the contrary, the healthy lifestyle and good nutrition provide the fastest achievement of results. Healthy food means receiving by the organism of the balanced amount of proteins, carbohydrates and fats. And proteins need to be received from boiled meat or fish, from milk and dairy products, from nuts. And carbohydrates – from fruit, vegetables and grain, but not from rolls and confectionery. Special attention should be paid to vitamins and minerals. If good healthy nutrition is capable to provide the ordinary person with enough vitamins, then for the body builder of it will be a little. It is necessary to take various vitamin and mineral drugs in addition. There are also special medicines for athletes accelerating many times growth of muscles – anabolic steroids. It is proved that intake of steroids allows to achieve much bigger results, than usually. Producers of anabolic steroids assure that their medicines are absolutely harmless and are even useful to the athlete. However adherents of "natural" bodybuilding know that long-term intake of steroids is harmful to the general human health and can lead to serious problems sooner or later. Many think: at first I will be pumped up by means of steroids, and then I will refuse them. But in practice everything appears absolutely not so. Rather easily having received the first results, the athlete does attempt to refuse intake of anabolic steroids. But in reply to his muscle begin "to be blown off". And, not to avoid it, it is forced to continue intake of steroids. And so until serious problems with health and with sport begin it is necessary to stick.
