MISUNDERSTOOD BODYBUILDING STEREOTYPES

Spend All Day in the Gym

“Yeah, well if I just had the time to spend in the gym 24/7 like you do – I’d be huge too.”

Look, bodybuilding is more than the time spent in the gym. Of course putting in the work is very important – but bodybuilding is a lifestyle. It’s been said many times before and it will be said again: muscles are made in the kitchen. Like we briefly mentioned above, nutrition is a big part of the bodybuilding lifestyle and requires all-day every-day dedication to eating right so that the time spent in the gym is maximized.

Bodybuilding requires discipline across all aspects of health. You need to eat correctly, you need to get plenty of rest, and you work out. You can’t just do one of those things – you have to balance them all. And it is a common mistake made among young people who are looking to get big fast. You can’t just go to the gym for hours on end to see massive results; you have to dedicate your entire life to changing your body in order to see that kind of change.
