A brief bio of me before I begin is in order, I mean why would you listen to me if you didn't know if I actually walked my talk right? I seem to have always been body building having been a fat kid growing up I began using my eldest brother's weight set around 12 years old. Body building seemed my destiny I believe we all seem to fall into two categories of body types; either very thin type with difficulty to hold onto muscle mass or my type, fat, ha-ha. Seriously if you're naturally predefined to being fat from genetics you're ability to retain muscle will be easier. I focused on power lifting early on, simply as I was already equipped physically to obtain massive strength. It wasn't until later in life, that I tested my self in competitions, in 2005 I won a silver medal in Pre-Olympic qualifying trials only two years later gaining gold medals in competition. I don't tell you this to impress you, I tell you because it impresses me! Body building is a fine exercise and competing drives you to higher levels of overall fitness Listen, this is important, regardless of your body type, in fact because of your body type, you have not only limitations but actually you have advantages! Recognizing them and using those inherent advantages in weight training will achieve life long fitness with minimum effort. Hope this makes sense for you to utilize in your current and future weight lifting programs In the element of weight lifting or body building, "cutting" a.k.a. trimming body fat to show off muscles is desirable. There are may ways to achieve this and I know of several that are very effective. To begin with one must assess there current body fat percentage, a calculator can be found at my website or any place on the Internet If your body fat is higher, a diet may be in order first off to trim excessive fat. One good way is to no longer eat starchy foods with meats. What this means is if you eat meat have it with vegetable and no rice,bread,etc at lunch and at dinner reversal is fine, i.e. pasta and vegetables. This plus cutting out snacks, sweets and alcohol will drop fat quickly, the reason being that your body needs carbohydrates with proteins to store fat, by eliminating one, your body's ability to store fat is impeded. Body building and weight training's effectiveness is thus enhanced If your body fat is only a bit above normal, an effective method is to exercise by running, bicycling or other aerobic activity 20 minutes daily before eating your breakfast, I cannot stress enough how effective this is. After sleeping and not eating the digestive tract is empty and aerobic exercise will force your body to burn its blood sugar then set your body's metabolism to a peak state creating a continuous burning of fat for the rest of the day. Anaerobic exercices like weights training, can be utilized in alternate days in addition to your a.m. exercise
