BodyBuilding

Well after spending a good part of the last 5 yrs bumming around on the computer, I had this crazy idea... "Hey 'I'm going to get fit"..
I have a friend that plays sports, lifts weights and all that sorta stuff weird people like him do. So to cut a long story short after chatting to this friend i decided.."I'm going to pump iron and be a super fit, super chiseled, super nerd!"

So I got a bit of a weights training training of my friend. But being curious started to trawl Google for any information i could find on Bodybuilding..and wow is there plenty. Firstly though I had to make my way past the masses of advertisements trying to sell miracle powders, liquids and training equipment. A few of which are listed in this Hall of Shame.

What I found out as I read bodybuilding sites and forums was that the most important part of natural body building and fat loss was firstly nutrition and secondly cardio exercises, like running,swimming and cycling. Then of course lifting heavy weights..

One of the better sites i found was Scoobys Workshop The site was creating by a 48yr old American guy known as Scooby. He talks about what he feels are the most important aspects of natural bodybuilding, lists workouts for beginners, intermediate and advanced bodybuilders. Talks about nutrition and equipment. I liked this site as there was no advertising and he seems very genuine in wanting to help people out with what he's learnt over the years in regards to lifting weights and general fitness.

One of the things I learnt that was pretty common through out the different forums and sites in regards to nutrition was that bodybuilders eat 5-6 meals per day instead of what is commonly known as the healthy amount three. They eat these smaller and more frequent meals to have a continual amount of protein in their system to feed muscle growth. After looking at scoobys video about quick and simple meals at home you'll start to realise the lengths some of these guys go in the quest for a muscly body:

Another site on natural Bodybuilding that i found was Adams natural Bodybuilding Site Again alot of information but alot of it was covered by Scooby. One thing that was cool was Adam had a link list with some intreating sites. On the other side this site seems to be run by some pretty hardcore christians. So brace yourselves for a few Helliluya's.
