Bodybuilding and common Training Errors (Part 1)

By: Mick Hart

Eating like a pigeon: This is really quite straight forward. You need an excess of calories in your diet in order to grow new tissues. If you see that you are not putting weight on, then quite simply eat more proteins, carbs and even fats.

I would like to clear up the myth that you can gain muscle tissue by training alone. It is only possible if you eat enough and then you will gain weight and consequently bigger muscles. Otherwise the weight you lift is irrelevant, but if you are gaining weight then you are both performing and eating in the correct manner.

Intensity Intensity: Bodybuilders love to train hard, boast of training hard, and do the impossible, triple drop sets and forced reps, and all sorts of other extremely tiring techniques. The difficulty with this is that although their musculature can recover from this beating in a couple of days their central nervous systems are absolutely poached. The CNS can take over a week or more to recover from this type of repeated attempts to failure training, which makes repeating the workouts with a similar or greater weight just impossible for several weeks or more.

Why anyone would want to do this, I just don't know. Although normal muscle recovery takes around 72 hours; at which point you can really progress with your training, if your CNS has been over stressed, you will be put in a position of under training until the CNS has recovered. So when you can start training at pace you would have lost any previous muscle gains...so think about it.

This is OK in the short term but to train like this week in week out whilst attempting to increase poundage's or total load in a linear manner is a lunacy that literally forces you to reduce training frequency and total load to a minimal level. Frequency and total load are the key determinants of successful training for size and strength! Why would anyone deliberately minimise both of them?

Single factor training: Almost everybody in the gym currently train according to single factor training theory, or the principle of super compensation, where as only about 5% of strength athletes train like this and they all happen to all be bodybuilders. I realize that the majority of people don't even know what dual factor theory is, so let me try and explain what it is. Firstly single factor theory deals with fitness and fatigue as existing to the exclusion of each other.

Let's say as an example that you feel tired and your muscles are sore after training, then you should recover first before starting to train again. This is what is known as super compensation theory, which is basically saying that fitness is decreased at this point and then gradually rises back to where it was just before your next work out. You then proceed to train by slightly increasing your load whereby pushing your fitness up a level. This cycle is then repeated.

Dual factor theory looks at fitness, fatigue and preparedness as being separate but not exclusive to one another. Fitness is your long-term ability; it changes slowly and is not related to fatigue. Preparedness is your immediate ability i.e. what can you do RIGHT NOW and it is influenced by fatigue.

Dual factor theory states that you are able to train until extreme fatigue and even under the condition of negative preparedness but still able to see improvements in fitness on the long term. To put it another way it's not that you can't recover between workouts, YOU SHOULDN'T.

Macronutrient fascism: "Carbs just suck", "You get fat by eating fats" and "Just eat protein to get more muscle". No and a big NO. We need all of then in some form or other. Each person might be different in personal needs depending on personal objectives, but to actually cut one of the macronutrients out of our diet is plain dumb.

Different combinations of macronutrients work in different ways but taking away one from the equation will have no positive effect whatsoever. I would personally recommend an isocaloric diet as a good way start to obtain both health and strength.

Lifestyle what lifestyle?: So if you are the type of bodybuilder who does biceps on a Friday night just to get that pumped up look to go out clubbing, then you need a good kicking. If really do want to achieve a bigger and stronger look then you need to keep a check on your whole lifestyle. Otherwise all your good hard training efforts will produce zero gains.
