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.

If you’re still in your bodybuilding “youth” and don’t already have a considerable amount of muscle mass to show for your efforts, I would strongly suggest taking these types of questions and eliminating them from your mind until you do.

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!

That’s right; forget about the nitty-gritty details of whether your biceps match your triceps or whether your chest is on par with your back. These are issues that you can worry about later on, but until you’ve thickened up your entire body as a whole to a significant degree, it’s simply not worth worrying about.

There is not need to obsess over details if you’re still a beginner and have been consistent in your training for less than a year. Alternatively, focus on the basic apparent issues at hand. In order to be successful in weight training, you must give yourself a realistic schedule and be consistent.

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.

Start off to self cook in the kitchen by yourself on each and every day, every week, every month and try to prepare properly at least 5 or 6 balanced muscle building meals.

Drink your water, get your rest and take your supplements whenever necessary. In other words: PAY YOUR DUES FIRST!

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 efficent 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 does not require a degree in rocket-science but it does require consistent willpower and determination. It’s not until you’ve dug deep enough within yourself that you will have the benefits of a drastically improved and impressively-muscular body. Stop obsessing. Go to the gym and start your workout!
