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!!!
