If you are doing everything right but still not getting results then take a close look at this hidden assassin - Overtraining. I meet so many youngsters who come and ask, hey I am doing everything right but this is not working for me. I am going to gym regularly, I don't miss any of my workout, I don't spend time talking around in gym, I sleep properly and my nutrition plan is very well designed. The problem is something that they can't identify at their level. They are overdoing things.

If they take a close look at people around, they will find that people can be categorized at three levels in gym. New ones like them, regular gym goers & pro bodybuilders. Pro bodybuilders are those who have worked out for a long time and who are into very rigorous workouts. New ones like them are running around and sweating too hard taking inspiration from these professionals. The common group of regular gym goers is an experienced lot who knows what and how much to train. That makes the difference, they know what they are doing and why they are doing. You won't find them seven days of week in the gym and they are the ones who move quickly. They come, they do their workouts and are off.

We will discuss each of this thing here in a serial wise manner. First of all, proper nutrition. Once you start doing workouts or enter bodybuilding, your normal diet is no more sufficient. You need a lot more protein. You need more than the daily average consumption of vitamins and minerals. Also, you will need to increase your meal counts. You just can't stay on 3-4 meals a day. You need to be eating more and more often and six meals a day is like basic minimum. You need to increase your water intake. I will suggest you better checkout your nutritionist before you start using a bodybuilding program.

They know that they can achieve their goals just by going for three days to gym and doing the right set of exercises for about three minutes every time. Think about it like this, it takes nearly ten seconds to do ten reps of bench press. If you do just three sets, you have worked that muscle group for roughly thirty seconds. Thats it!

Don't just count your sets and reps, keep a close watch on time too. Don't move slow with your exercises. Go in gym as on war. Finish your exercise in a minute and a half. Pick up next and do it. Instead of doing the exercises, take sufficient break between your exercise (recommended two minutes).

The size of muscle is not a function of your lifting the weight. Rather the size of muscle comes when you give them the rest after lifting the weights. The process is quite simple, simulate->rest->repair->stronger simulation. Get that right!

You can also add a routine of aerobic exercies to your weight training. Although primarily designed for weight loss, they help you cut your body fat and help you keep your heart strong. Try them thrice a week.

Once you mix each of these two properly and discipline yourself to strict timelines, you will find your growth in a much faster and better way.
