CLEARING SOME COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS ON BODYBUILDING. By Ajmal Arab

CLEARING SOME COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS ON BODYBUILDING

By Bodybuilding Mauritius member Ajmal Arab



Bodybuilding is NOT just a sport, it’s a lifestyle. You need to train, eat the right things in the right amount and rest!!

• Bodybuilding is NOT weight lifting!!! It’s not about lifting the heaviest weight you possibly can, its having the best body you possibly can.

• Bodybuilding is a lengthy process, you don’t become Arnold overnight!! People expect to go to the gym for a few weeks and come out with six packs, huge chest and biceps. Man, bodybuilders like Coleman, Cutler and Heath has been training since their adolescence and it’s in their thirties that their body is peaking. It takes years and years of hard work!!

• Bodybuilding is having the best body you can possibly achieve. Not everyone will become Mr. Olympia, Mr. Universe or Mr. Mauritius!!! But when you will look at the mirror and compare yourself to how you were before, you will see improvement in your body. Some people will tell you, ‘look at that guy he doesn’t go to the gym but he look better than you’. Man, some people are born rich and some are born poor. The poor one have to work hard in order to be rich and maybe he will never be as rich as the one born rich, but he’ll be richer that when he was born. Bodybuilding is just like that, some people are born with six packs, some people have to work hard for it and he may never attain it but at least he’ll have a two pack.

• Mauritians have the opinion that guys who go to gym are arrogant or they show off by pushing their chest or have wide arms while walking. It’s not that. Man, that’s not show off or being arrogant!! It’s just that his chest and lats is pumped!!!! And if he walk like that he is doing is unconsciously, not for show off!!!
• If someone looks good with huge chests, arms and legs, people think he is on steroid. Man it’s years of hard work, sacrifice and dedication. Just stay at home and inject yourself with steroids, then see your body!!!

• People think that when bodybuilders become old, they will look bad. Man, just taking an example of Salman khan who everyone knows. He is not a professional bodybuilder and he is nearly 50. He may not have the best body he ever had now, but he still looks good. See any average people at 50 and see any bodybuilder at 50. I guarantee you that the bodybuilding will look at least 10 year younger!!

• People think that if you stop bodybuilding, you will have a big belly. It’s never like that, if you used to be small before you started, you will tend to become small again and if you used bodybuilding to lose weight, you will naturally gain weight. You will only tend to become what you originally were!!

• Some people will tell you so many years you did bodybuilding and you look the same. I tell you if you did not do bodybuilding, you would look lot worse than you actually are. It’s just that you are maintaining your body!!

• People will tell you ‘how can you eat that?? Why can’t you eat like a normal person??’. Just tell them to shut up!!! We’ll see when you grow older who is he healthier and have a better body.

Brothers of iron, people will tell you lot of thing for you to quit bodybuilding, but you just concentrate on your objective and achieve it!!! THEY ARE JUST COWARDS AND JEALOUS OF YOU!!!

They can’t put on the hard work, do the sacrifice and have they dedication like us but they don’t want us to have our best body!!

Always remember: THERE ARE MILLIONS OF REASONS FOR YOU TO QUIT, BUT THERE WILL ALWAYS BE ONE REASON FOR YOU TO GO ON!!!
