Diuretics help the body shed water weight at a faster rate than normal. David Robson, professional bodybuilder, described the exercise scene as chemical warfare. Bodybuilding and the consumption of different substances to enhance performance can have both positive and negative side effects on the body.
Another widely used substance employed by bodybuilders is anabolic steroids, which are synthetic variants of testosterone. Although the steroids can be used to help with muscle building and to counter hormone deficiency, many athletes commonly abuse it.
Robson said he gained an insider scoop on steroids and the positive and negative effects of steroids and bodybuilding on the body when he interviewed a pro-bodybuilder who relied on substances to increase his performance quality and muscle weight. Jesus Morales, freshman kinesiology major, exercises four times a week and said exercise can help relieve stress, but he would not use substances to enhance his performance.
As a bodybuilder, Robson believes the ideal necessities to becoming a professional are exercising, dieting and persistence. Julia Hettiger may be reached at [email protected].

The individual quickly spirals into overtraining, gets discouraged, and sometimes quits training altogether. Why is it that a novice trainee or even an intermediate bodybuilder overtrains when following a pro's routine?
All things being equal it is because the advanced athlete or pros nervous system capacity for work is much higher than the aspiring trainees.
The professional has probably spent 10 years minimum increasing his bodies capacity for training. So, what does nervous system training involve? Well specifically with the beginner, almost any type of training will work. This fact is one of the biggest reasons there is so much confusion in training modalities in the body building market. Typically, any training that you perform at first places demands that are so much higher than your regular nervous system output, some results inevitably occur.
Unfortunately, most athletes have incorporated a great deal of bad habits in this early training, which ultimately spells failure down the road. For best results over the short and long term the beginner and intermediate trainee should incorporate training that increases the nervous systems capacity for training. Nervous system training typically involves training specific exercises through specific planes and motions with an eye on frequency, volume, and exercise selection.
In other words, what are typically called multi-joint exercises will be incorporated as the foundation of the training. When system training, one should train groups of body parts together to maximize the overload for a specific area. In other words, you would train body parts such as chest, shoulders and triceps on one day; back, biceps on another day, and legs on another day.
There are lots of different ways you can mix this up, depending on the amount of time you have available as well as how long you wish to work out and also at how fast you wish to progress. Another consideration when training the nervous system is that one has to pay particular attention on the frequency of training. Generally, you need to keep the frequency relatively high. That means hitting the body parts a minimum of twice a week.
In some cases, you can go as high as three times a week; once again, depending on how much volume, how intensely a person is training, and the nutrition levels of the athlete. Of course, with nervous system training, one has to build up gradually. So in a very new athlete, nervous system training might incorporate whole body training only three times per week. As a person progresses and more volume can be handled, the body parts are typically split up.
On the three-day program, it would be maybe full body workouts; on a four-day, it would be maybe upper body and lower body. Afterwards, you would go to maybe a five or even six-day routine for the serious athlete.
This allows a significantly higher frequency and also the ability to bomb body parts over and over again with varying rep ranges. The other aspect of building a symmetrical physique to look at is individualized body part training. Size of course is not everything; especially in the bodybuilding world. One wants to have the physique look aesthetically pleasing as well as developing large muscles. So in body part training, the exercise selection becomes more isolated.
Generally there is more volume of sets in a body part session and the body parts are trained less frequency. To sum it up, you do more exercises, more volume in isolating particular body parts. Typically at this more advanced stage, a person is looking to sculpt the physique, work on specific weak points, to balance the physique and to create a more symmetrical look. Also, this increases the separation and general appearance of each of the muscle groups. In body part training, typically the frequency that you hit a body part is much less than you would on nervous system training.
So a body part might only get hit once a week, but that one session would be extremely intense, overloading that muscle in every possible manner and then moving on to the next body part on the following day. Typically in body part training, you would cycle more exercises through a rotation of maybe three, four or five weeks, going back and forth so that maximal development of every aspect of the physique is achieved.
Now in order to create balanced growth as well as size, one must alternate back and forth between the nervous system training and body part training. Science News.
