Bodybuilding Contest Preparation

The Basics of Bodybuilding Contest Preparation

You’ve spent a lot of time and effort bulking up your muscles, and you are interested in exploring the world of bodybuilding contests. In addition to your regular training regime, there are things you must do pre-contest in order to make yourself stand out on the big day.

Pre-Contest Training

Your goal during period before the contest should be to lose as much fat as possible while retaining the maximum amount of muscle. Approximately ten weeks before the contest, bulk up your muscles by boosting your workouts. Do this by working every muscle group for a five-day period using heavier weights and lower volumes.

At the end of the five-week period, switch your goal from bulking muscles to losing fat. Up your cardio to twice a day for 45 minutes each time. Be sure to keep lifting in order to retain the muscle you built previously.

Be sure that you tan or correctly apply bronzing gel prior to the contest, and have all hair removed. On the day of the contest, body oils will also aid in helping muscle and veins stand out.

Bodybuilding Contest Preparation and Supplements

Supplementation is an integral part of bodybuilding contest preparation. Choosing the right supplement is easy if you have the right information. Just follow the two steps below.

1.Read about each supplement, and how it helps with bodybuilding contest preparation.
2.Once you’ve identified the supplements that best suit your needs, click on the links to shop.

Glutamine enhances human growth hormone, which is key to gaining muscle, and preserves muscle mass when you are dieting.
Fat burners give your metabolism an extra boost, allowing you to burn away unwanted fat faster.
Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) rebuild stressed muscles, promote quick recovery, prevent muscles from breaking down, and give you the extra energy you need to get through more intense workouts.
Creatine allows for faster muscle gains, increases lean body mass, and increases power.
Vasodilators increase blood flow to the muscles and reduce inflammation, allowing muscles to recover more quickly after intense workouts. Vasodilators also make muscles look “pumped up” and increase the prominence of veins.
Water loss supplements reduce excess water weight, which makes you look leaner.
Testosterone boosters increase strength and muscle mass, and also give you the energy and endurance you need to get through more intense workouts.

With the right preparation, you can look great on the stage and blow your competition away. Be sure to follow a strict pre-competition training schedule, and take the necessary supplements.
