Arm day with Phil Heath.

When you compare an amateur bodybuilder to a professional, chances are you’re going to see a bit of a difference to say the least. For those looking to just build some quality muscle, getting a physique on par with a professional bodybuilder may not be the desired result. But is it because it’s not desired or because of how hard it would be to get to that point? For everyone the answer is different.

But if one thing is certain, getting a massive frame like a bodybuilder requires a few factors. Besides the most obvious factor of genetics, you need to train properly in order to get the best results. Bodybuilding requires an athlete to push themselves past the limit and have the right training regimen in order to see continued development.
