Are you generally beginning to gain a reputation as a muscular guy that people aspire to look like? Have you packed on at least a good 15-25 pounds of clean, muscular body weight since you began your muscle building program? Have you added at least a couple of inches or more to all of your major muscle groups?

If you didn’t easily answer “yes” to all of the questions I just outlined above, then worrying about the smaller details of your physique is quite simply a waste of time at this point.

Eliminate these types of questions from your mind until after you have a considerable amount of muscle mass and are no longer in your bodybuilding “youth”.

Why is this? It is for the reason that diverting your attention onto such small and insignificant issues will only serve to distract you from the most essential and immediate job at hand. And what is the most vital and urgent job necessary at this time? Let’s develop as much muscle and strength for your body that can feasibly be accomplished!

Although it might be difficult, it is important for you to look past comparisons between your biceps and your triceps and whether your front looks as bold as your back. While additional issues may arise, there is no point in concerning yourself with them until you have sufficiently and significantly thickened up your whole body.

If you’re still a beginner and have been training consistently for less than a year, then stop obsessing over the details. Instead, place all of your focus on the most basic and obvious issues at hand. Get yourself onto a sensible, rational weight training schedule and stick to it religiously.

Keep a record of all of your workouts that you do and try as hard as you can to consistently add as much weight as possible to the bar. Blast through the discomfort zones and difficult compound exercises with passion and intensity.

Go to your kitchen and eat as many as six well balanced meals full of muscle building foods each day for a year.

Take your supplements when necessary, get rest, and drink plenty of water. Another way to say it is: PAY YOUR DUES IN THE BEGINNING!

If you plan to be in this for a long time (and you should be, as there are no temporary fixes to be had here), this will get you on the most efficient path. The best way in which to proceed is usually to begin with the basics and then get more detailed later.

You must bring this mentality into your bodybuilding program. You don’t want to attempt to fine-tune and balance your physique until you have a considerable muscle foundation to work with. You can’t play that awesome guitar solo before you know basic chords, after all.

Building muscle is not rocket-science, but it is a task that requires consistent willpower and determination. And until you’ve been “in the trenches” and have earned yourself an impressive and muscular body. Stop over-analyzing. Get into the gym and train!
