Chest Workout 0005

The thing about building muscle is that it is an extremely simple process. Just lift weights on a repetitive basis, increase the load as you reach certain benchmarks, eat healthy foods, get sufficient rest between workouts - rinse and repeat. Pretty simple huh!

The human body is an amazing device that will always recuperate plus one. I mean, you have a workout and tear your muscle fibres down, you rest sufficiently before your next workout, eat well, and bingo! you're a fraction stronger than before you performed your last workout. What a great system! Now you just work the system.

As long as you make a little effort to find the best movements for yourself by a small amount of research and experimentation over time, learn the basics of good nutrition, make sure you actually set aside sufficient rest time - well? - that's about it.

What I'm saying here is don't cloud your horizon with thinking you need to know every conceivable piece of knowledge on bodybuilding, human physiology, and nutrition before you can start or, in fact, be any good at this. That's just not true.

Here's a good example. Not every one that is a great car driver knows much about how their car works or how to properly service that car. That doesn't stop them from becoming a really great car driver.

Now if they wanted to go on and become a professional race driver, then, yes, they are going to have to learn a lot more. But for most folks a little info is all they will ever need to put in a pretty good effort at car driving.

Just get stuck in and have fun with it. Watch your body grow, gain confidence and learn what you need as you go.
