PATIENCE
By WNBF Pro Jeff Alberts Everybody wants results fast when it comes to building a great physique. You see all kinds of advertisements which sell products claiming to give you super fast results when it comes to building bigger muscles and leaner bodies. Companies that make these claims will use terminology to trick the average individual in to believing these claims. Terms like “muscle confusion” as used by the training system P90X, is a phrase that does not make any sense to me. I did not know muscles have a mind of their own and can be confused? I feel what P90X really means is the muscle is being trained at an intense level and therefore it will respond to the stress you are placing upon the muscles. P90X wants you to believe that their training system is superior to all other training methods. By using catchy phrases like “muscle confusion” is one way how P90X is effective in selling their training system. Not that this training system is not effective, but good old fashion hard work is just as or even better to building a great physique. As a natural bodybuilder results may come at a slow and steady pace for most of us. For some, results will come faster due to superior genetics for gaining lean muscle mass. You must have patience to keep improving your physique over time. To be an elite natural bodybuilder it may take years to develop the amount of muscle to be at the top of the sport.
"1999 Monterey Bay Championships" Six years into competitive training.
"2009 Mr. Natural California and finally earning my Natural Pro Card, 16 years into competitive training. NFL players for example also start at the bottom, they first start in pop warner, than on to high school, then college, and then into the NFL, if they have the genetics to make it to the top . They have to move up the ranks to develop their skill level and grow larger in able to compete on the highest level. This is also true of natural bodybuilders. They have to start at an entry level which is their first day of walking into the gym. They cannot expect to have a great physique on their first day of training. It takes time to move up the ranks and build a great physique to its highest possible level. With each intense workout they will gradually build their physique to its maximum potential over a span of many years. If they have the dedication, desire, discipline and most of all, the patience, they will succeed in building a great natural physique in which they you can be proud of! |
