Hi, my name is Alex Cameron, and im a competitive ametuer body builder. Ive just put together a great resource site on body building and lean muscle. I want to share with my readers all my best tips and tricks that I have used to kick start your body and muscle building, on the right track.
The most important part of your routine is to eat properly!
You hear it time and time again. Its well known that its harder to iron out your diet right, than it is to turn upto the gym and go through your routine. Im fully aware of this, and I know what its like because ive been in your position before. It was after I changed that advice into an action plan, that I began to actually put on weight and size.
The most common muscle diet myth, is that people think to get big, you must take back only protien and nothing or little else. Be careful of this advice!
In an ideal situation, what you want to do is take in the protiens at times of the day when your body and metabolism is ready for that protien hit. For a good day, you want to ‘wake’ your body nice and quickly by taking on morning foods that awaken the muscle and digestive system.
Its a good idea for breakfast, to consume plenty of complex carbs as well as fibre. Wholegrain cerels low in sugar, oats like porridge, and grain breads with a healthy spread is ideal. Fruits give vitamens and fibre is irreplacable for a healthy digestive system, and ensure the stomach is ready for the protien kick you will unleash on it later on.
A protien shake in the morning is good, but save the harder to digest protiens for later in the day, such as poultry or beef.
Around mid morning, approx 10am or so, your body will be calling out for another hit. Now is when something like brown rice and brocolli or perhaps a tub of cottage cheese (250g) is just what your after. For those with a sweet tooth, a natural yoghurt is a good filler, with some bananas and wholemeal bread. Avoid white breads though.
