Bodybuilding Then And Now

Where do you think bodybuilding and weight lifting originated? How does this type of fitness come about? The story will give you the idea how weight lifting helps the human body in developing muscle tissues over time by doing a simple method of exercise.

The name of the athlete is Milo from Crotona. History tells that this man never lost a wrestling match, simply because of his great strength and muscle built. But before Milo became an unbeatable wrestler, his exercise only involved a young calf. Milo would carry the young calf on his shoulders each day as he roams around. Eventually, when the calf gained weight, this athlete was also able to gain his own strengths...especially muscles.

When the next Olympic Games came, Milo showed up carrying a full grown bull on his shoulders. This just proves to show that weight lifting when done in a proper phase and proportion, gives off astounding benefits to the body builder. This is also the same idea which has been adapted and carried on up to now.

Body building now has the exact same training procedures that Milo had although he didn't exactly do it for hardcore training purposes. He did carry around a calf that would be a bull soon but didn't do it to his body's limits. Today, there are many misconceptions and fallacies developed over the years that gaining muscles should be done on long and exhausting hours. This is completely wrong. A body exhausted from hard weight lifting training doesn't help at all. What it does is exhaust the body and eventually ends up needing longer rest than intended.

If you're just starting with this type of training procedure, by all means, stop. Help yourself while you still can. The idea of gaining weight properly is not to allow your body to work until it can no longer function. Proportion and just enough time consumption should be observed. The process for doing this is called a cycle and the following link http://www.body-building-book.com will take you to more tips you need to know.
