“Bodybuilding Tip #6 -- Make sure you wipe down your equipment after use and put your weights away properly.”


There is an unwritten code in the gym. It dictates to put back your weights and to wipe down your equipment after you use it. No one wants to be sitting in your sweat, and I’m sure you wouldn’t want to be in a stranger’s sweat either. As well, loose dumbbells on the floor are a tripping hazard, and can cause injury.

“Bodybuilding Tip #4 -- Leg Workouts are just as important as Upper Body workouts”


Leg workouts should be included in ALL workout routines. Even though they may remain hidden, legs are just as important to exercise as the arms or the chest, it is important to maintain symmetry between upper and lower body. The legs are some of the largest muscles groups in your body. No physique would be complete without a pair of thick legs. As well, when you work out your legs, your body will naturally released testosterone, and insulin to other muscle groups, therefore allowing you to grow to your best.

“Bodybuilding Tip #3 -- Correct form is much more important than a heavier weight.”

Using correct form with a weight you can handle will yield much better results then using a incorrect form with a weight that you cannot handle. By using correct form and focusing on the stretching and contractions, you are able to stimulate hypertrophy and allow for the best muscle growth. Using correct form will also prevent injury to your musculoskeletal system as well as your joints.
