When people think of bodybuilding for women they often think of women with massive muscles that just try to look like male bodybuilders. But the truth is this really isn't the case at all. Women's bodybuilding is far more than just trying to have large muscles, it is more about having a complete sculpted body that looks natural but ultra toned at the same time. Bodybuilding is significantly easier for men than it is for women based on one simple fact; the hormone testosterone is responsible for the building of muscle in our bodies. And while both men and women have levels of testosterone in their bodies, men have significantly higher levels. Therefore, the ability to build muscle comes much easier to men. Bodybuilding for women can be more difficult but the results are just as spectacular. Sit down and work out a diet. You will need to eat a meal that contains a significant portion of protein every 2-3hrs to keep muscle growth to the maximum. All non-essential food should be removed from the diet, which includes, sugar, processed food and white flour products. Take the time to journal what you eat and try to break it down into calories. All these facts boil down to a basic idea that a man working at 50% of his capacity would require a woman to work at 70% of her physical capacity to keep up. So does this mean a woman cannot build muscle? Most definitely not! Your diet is the number one factor that will determine your success in bodybuilding. You can go to the gym and spend hours there, but it won't make any difference if you don't properly feed your body, which grows the muscles. I think one of the easiest things you can do is to start eating smaller meals every 3 hours. This type of eating makes sure your body is always digesting nutrients. This constant flow of nutrients ensures your muscles will always have enough to grow. The most important thing to understand is that what you eat is going to determine your results, not what you do in the gym. You should be investing more time into planning your diet than at the gym. You have to change out your diet to something that works better. Stop eating processed foods and things that are full of chemicals. You need to stick with the natural foods that haven't been altered or affected. You also need to change the way you eat, which means it is time to eat smaller meals more often. I'm not talking about snacks, I'm talking about meals that are balanced with protein, carbs and fat, just as a smaller proportion. The most important part of this process is the way you eat. You can't eat like a normal person, you have to start eating like a bodybuilder. This means you will be eating smaller meals more often. There is a few specific reasons for doing this. The first is that when your body is constantly digesting some food, you'll always have enough nutrition coming into repair muscle tissue. The second reason is that when you're constantly digesting, your metabolism speeds up and you burn more fat. In the gym is easier because you can do a variety of things to have good results. I've found over and over again, the same types of exercises produced more muscle than any others. These are the ones that use a lot of muscles in a set. Great examples are deadlifts and squats. If you look at around at the people in the gym doing these, you'll notice they're huge. Bodybuilding for women requires using weights which will provide the proper resistance. You won't be able to use those little 2.5 pound dumbbells for all your exercises! There's just not enough resistance weight to give you the look you want. Your weights will vary with each exercise. Try to choose a weight you can only do for 12-15 repetitions.
