Guys, i have been bodybuilding since last 3 months and still my body is not getting hard just plumply and a little shapy.
What am i doing wrong?
My diet plan involves;
1 egg in the breakfast, 1 glass of milk and 1 bread toast.
normal salan and roti for lunch (2 roti's usually)
evening 1 glass of milk
after 30 mins i do workout
dinner is normal and light like 1 roti or maybe half more
First of all, discard those who say that you can become a proper bodybuilder in 3-6 months.
If its the first time you are going to the gym, then first your body will adapt to the weight. Then your body will start to transform i.e. "your frame will start to build". THEN comes the muscle building.
So basically, in 3 months, you will gain ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. It will take you atleast ONE FULL YEAR just to get your 'shape/frame' right. After One Year, you will start to gain slowly. If you really want to set a goal, then make it atleast 2 years. After that you will be
fit enough.
Now, moving to your diet. You mentioned everything, except:
- What you eat
before workout
- What you eat
after workout.
Before: Eat simple things with power, enough to last you an hour in the gym. Say, Rice, Bananas etc. Basically Carbohydrate .
After: Eat Protein (Stay away from Protein Shakes, and Food Supplements. You don't need those. Internet and those 'mega bodybuilders' have created this false perception that you will do noting without them. YOU CAN.) If Meat is inconvenient, then remember that the most protein you can get, is from
Eggs.
Take 4-6 Eggs DAILY. You can eat ONE or TWO eggs complete, but focus on the
Whitening since they contain the most protein. If you can, buy Meat (Qeema or Fish) ever 3 days, and eat it BOILED.
NOTES:
- Its burning hot these days. Choose the time after Maghrib/Ishaa prayer to workout.
- Hot weather calls for dehydration. Don't forget to drink water before, during and after your workout session. You don't have to drink 1L or 0.5L. Even 0.25L (i.e. Half bottle of a 0.5L Bottle) will do just fine.
- Hot weather ... If you have a pimples problem (Garmi Danay etc), don't take more than ONE complete egg.
- Don't workout all week. 5 or 6 Days is enough. Take At least ONE holiday. (Holiday doesn't mean you stop eating eggs/protein).
- DO NOT try to use extra weights. Just enough so you could complete 8-10 reps.
- Don't listen to any Ustaads in the Gym. F*CK 'em.
Continue till at least 6 months, and you will notice the difference. Mostly, in your Strength. The difference in your body won't start to appear before at least 1 year; So Chillax, and enjoy the exercise.
