When you decide to make a bodybuilding routine, you generally stick to it in the beginning. The results in the beginning are quite noticeable and so you will be more attracted towards the routine. But, after gaining some considerable muscle, the body building does not progress at a fast pace as it was before. That is because your body slows down after gaining some muscle and it only maintains the muscle size after that period. So, you may lose interest in the routine and may want to give up everything. But, that is not the right thing to do.
Initial stages of bodybuilding routine
When the body gains some muscle, then the metabolism slows down and sometimes it comes to a standstill. So, you may get frustrated and want to leave the entire exercise regime. But, on the other hand if you want to maintain your health and the beautiful body that you have got with the initial rigorous exercise routine, then you have to continue the bodybuilding routine. Otherwise, the hard work you have put all those months will be futile and even you may become sick.
But, what makes the body build itself in the initial stages of the bodybuilding routine? If you can think of the answer then you will not lose hope. May be before the routine, your body may not be that much fit and after the workout routine, it may have gained the fitness. Also, once your body adapts your routine, it gets used to the exercises and hence it may become less effective. So, the solution is you have to change your body building routine.
Change your workout regime
Whenever you introduce a new workout routine, your bodybuilding will progress, do you know why? This is because your body has not learned the new technique and hence will work effectively. So, the result will be an increase in the muscle size and strength with a toned body. But, you should never be in a hurry to change your routine.
If you start doing new exercises at a fast pace, then you may injure your muscles. So, you should not change the whole routine at a go. You should keep doing some exercises which you think produce the desired results and for the rest you can introduce new exercise regime.
First of all, introduce a new bodybuilding regime and continue doing it only when you feel that it is working quite well. You should check the results periodically and if you are satisfied with the workouts then you can keep them. Otherwise, stick to some new routine which will give you the desired result.
This way all your exercises can change and you can again adapt them after few months and it may work well now. You have to keep the initial exercises for at least six to seven weeks and then you can change it if you have not noticed any change in your body building pattern. Bodybuilding routines are different for different people. Those who design them should design it in such a way that it brings best results in the shortest time.
