well . . .
I would take the advice of somebody, could be a coach or the individual
him/her self, who has a proven record of taking somebody to the next level,
be that gaining muscular mass or losing body fat. And I would only do that
after compete and exhaustive experimentation (that includes accurate
record keeping) on oneself. You are an experiment of one; you are unique,
just like everybody else. Know thy self-first. Then ask for help. But be
very careful who you ask.
Please be aware that bodybuilding, perhaps more than any other ‘sport’ is
dominated first and foremost by how you look which in turn is determined
by your genetics and by, now more than ever, performance enhancing drugs.
With that in mind . . . “Almost anybody can produce an enormous level of
physical improvement as a result of proper exercise, but final results will
not be the same in all cases. The fact that somebody else produced a certain
level of physical size and strength does not mean that you can duplicate
their results. Unusual levels of muscular size or strength are certainly a
result of exercise, but are also a result of genetic physical potential that
is actually quite rare.”
