Step 2: Diet

Diet: Many people think that the bodybuilding world starts and ends in the gym and there is not much more to it. To say the truth, bodybuilding is approximately 40% made in the gym and 60% affected by diet, but this depends on what your goals are.

Here is a an example below for you too see what a healthy diet looks like:

Monday / Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday / Friday / Saturday / Sunday

Steak / Salad / Vegetables / Fish / Wholewheat bread / Eggs / 1 Cheat day :D

Cheat Day: A cheat day is when you are allowed to eat anything you want, for example McDonald's or some other type of fast food.

Step 3: Sleep

ZzzZZzzz

Sleep is one of the most important factors in bodybuilding. When you sleep, your body is repairing the muscle fibers you broke down during a workout session, this is called muscle hypertrophy. Furthermore, when regenerating your body adds a bigger layer of muscle. That is why sleep is one of the key factors to building muscle. It also regulates the mood, which is important too, since you want to be motivated to go workout, and not be tired and cranky all the time. There is no perfect amount of time to sleep, because it varies on the person, but on average you need to be sleeping around 8-11 hours a day. This is because then your muscles get time rebuild, and will not ache the next day.

Step 4: Willpower and Motivation

Motivation/Willpower: To be successful in building the perfect body, you need to have a lot of willpower. Willpower is the key to everything, since you have to be motivated to achieve your goals. For example if you are down and don’t want to train, you should try and motivate yourself so you will want to go workout and get some gains. With motivation, there will be no end to your bodybuilding cycle.

Lay on the bench (Have a friend as a spotter if you are inexperienced)

Set your arms in an L position, and have your arms be further out than your shoulders, meaning that you have to pull your arms behind your shoulders

Then slowly let your arm go down

Try and do between 10-15 repetitions
