Body Building Tips

I recently found a photo taken 2 years ago. It maybe improbable for any of my new friends now to believe that during those times, I looked like this:

And did it in less than two monts. How? Below was my routine.
  • Heavy breakfast
  • Light snack after three hours.
  • Lunch after three hours ( medium carbo-load, lot's of vegies, chicken/beef/fish)
  • Light snack after three hours (usually fruits)
  • Dinner after three hours (low or zero carbs, vegies only)
  • Hit the gym...1 hour a day, 4 days a week.
  • Compound exercises=quickly build muscles(e.g. bench press, squat, dead-lift)
  • Heavy weights=build mass
  • Light weights but higher reps=muscle definition
  • 8 or more glasses of water everyday.
  • No sugar, minimal salt
  • Brown rice and wheat bread = highly recommended
  • Avoid egg yolks
  • 8 hours of sleep. VERY IMPORTANT

I never used supplements ( or steroids ). What I did gave me the body I wanted...back then. It may not be the result everybody wants, but it's about having a goal, making a plan, finding out what works and sticking to it.

And yes, back then I have a regular job like you. I was a project manager and worked for more than 8 hours a day. It's about priorities and time management. It can be done.
