1- OBJECTIVE: WHY DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS?
One of the first things you need to be clear about to start in the best conditions and clarify your goal in the sport: why are you training? Depending on your objective, the type and frequency of training or even the type of sport will be changed.
If your goal is to gain muscle mass, you can practice “classic” strength training. You can do it in the gym, at home, with or without equipment.
If your main goal is strength, you will need to orient yourself towards strength programs or powerlifting workouts. Ideally, you will need to go to a dedicated gym.
If your main goal is to improve your athletic performance, then CrossFit may be the best track for you. Again, it will be best to go to a specific room.
Having said that, we will now mainly address the practitioners whose main objective is to develop their muscles, and therefore the “classical” strength training practitioners.
2- HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO BE MUSCULAR?
Whatever form it takes, Bodybuilding is above all a sport of patience. Muscle growth is slow, so it usually takes years to reach the goal.
Now, I feel a little disappointed, but rest assured, in the first few months and the first year, the progress is much faster. It means that you will move very quickly from a non-sporting physical to a sporting physical / "a little" muscular.
Then, to achieve the “muscular good”, it will depend on what you mean by that. But for a good physical, which will be around 38 to 40 cm of arm, all the visible abdominal muscles and to be at “weight = height - 100” which is a VERY GOOD LEVEL (i.e. 75 kg dry for a sportsman of 1m75), we consider on average that it takes at least 5 years ... if everything goes well! And this is often where the problem lies: in many cases, practitioners will stop before this period, because of the vagaries of everyday life, or simply because of injuries.
Finally, to be really very muscular, I am sorry to tell you that we will have to go through the doping box (which is of course an illegal, dangerous practice and which we strongly advise against). The vast majority of the physics that you can admire and that really seem very muscular are unfortunately not natural physics, despite what most of them can say!
3- MORPHOTYPES
If you've been around for a while, you must have heard of morphotypes. This was defined about a century ago by Professor Sheldon. At the time, it was very fashionable to try to make classifications that combine both physical and mental aspects. And Sheldon's classification defined three major morphotypes:
Reborn FitnessUltrasound Morphotype: this is the ultimate lean athlete morphotype! Natur ally dry, with a nervous temper, it is easy to dry, but it is very difficult to gain muscle. Its characteristic is a fine framework and therefore fragile joints.
Reborn Fitness ChipEndomorphic Morphotype: this is the opposite of ectomorphic! It is rather "fat" in nature and has an easy time taking muscle, but also taking fat. Temperament calm.
Reborn Fitness ChipMesomorphic Morphotype: the best for strength training! It has a solid, naturally muscular framework, with ease to take muscle as well as lose fat.
The only problem is that there's no scientific evidence that all of this exists, simply because you can't actually put people in such separate boxes. So yes, everyone is different, but no, we can't put people in such fixed boxes!
Be careful not to confuse morphotypes with morphology. Morphology exists, it depends on your genetics and it is used to define your framework. For example, if you have large or narrow clavicles, a pelvis that is wider or narrower, limbs that are longer or shorter, etc.
4- HOW MANY REHEARSALS?
Defining the right number of repetitions per exercise is critical to achieving your goal. The number of repetitions varies according to your objective.5 - HOW OLD IS IT TO START STRONG TRAINING? INSIDE? AT HOME?
Starting early is a good idea... if it's done right! This will help you strengthen your skeleton, improve your posture and increase your self-confidence. But we must do nothing!In France, it is not possible to start bodybuilding in a gym before the age of 16, in any case, autonomously. If it's in another sport, or with an accompaniment, like in CrossFit boxes, that age limit to start the strength training jumps.
At home, of course, there is no age to begin strength training. In any case, make sure to follow a few simple principles to make sure you start in the right conditions:
- The first advice we will give is clearly to pay attention to the workload. But in reality, there is no difference between a teenager and an adult, at least on the advice you will be given. The workload must always be appropriate to its strength, execution technique and level;
- If you do this, you will be sure not to use too heavy a load, simply, as it takes years to increase the weights significantly.
6- HOW TO MUSCLE FOR A BEGINNER?
To be muscular as a beginner, you need:have a good program (you have some on the site)
learns to do exercises
has a good diet (you have some on this article).
When these three elements are in place, I can assure you that you will be muscular, and much faster than most people in the gym!
7- HOW TO START AT THE GYM?
For exercises, many beginners prefer to start in the room with movements on the machines, thinking that it is easier to learn. That's true, but it's also less effective, and it doesn't reduce the risk of injury.You might as well take good habits directly and learn the right movements on basic exercises, with bars and weights.
8- HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU DID A GOOD BODYBUILDING SESSION?
A lot of people are wondering how to make sure that their training was good.... In fact, this question can only be asked by athletes who do not have a well-defined training program.Because if your training schedule is clear, knowing whether you had a good session is easy enough:
1- You manage to do everything that was planned ? Yes = good session
It's simple! And if you want to add criteria:
2- During one or more exercises, were you able to increase the weight a little or repeat a little? Yes = good session
3- In one or more exercises, did you feel more comfortable than last time? Yes = good session
And so conversely, if you couldn't do what was planned, if the session was more difficult than usual, if you didn't feel any progress, or of course if you were injured, then you had a bad bodybuilding session.
