M3:D44 Bodybuilding

I have found that bodybuilding is an extremely complex sport.  There are many various systems that can be used.  A bodybuilder can train in a variety of ways.  Combinations of the systems and methods are used for different reasons.  It is truly mind-boggling at first. 

As you get more into bodybuilding you find that it isn't quite as complex as you originally thought.  Instead of complexity, individuality comes to mind.  My good friend, Carlos DeJesus, inventory of the Quad Blaster, speaks alot about the Experiment of One.  He has explained to me that this is all about what works for you.

Today Carlos shared a quotation with me that really floored me but gave me clarity at the same time. 

“There are no rules in bodybuilding
Every man is a rule unto himself
It is important to remember that bodybuilding is one of the few sports where extremes are normal
No matter what anyone tells you, if it works for you, do it.  No one can tell you what is best for you”
–Carlos DeJesus

No matter what anyone tells you, if it works for you, do it. 

Pay attention to the above because it is quite profound. 

When you get involved in fitness and bodybuilding there are hundreds of people trying to tell you thousands of different things.  Everyone has the next big thing.  The 7 Minute Workout.  4 minute workouts.  Warp Speed.  There are many others. 

Along with those trying to be helpful come those who want to tear apart everything you try.  You want to try the Velocity Diet?  Don't dare tell one of the experts because they will have a million reasons why it is wrong.  No matter what anyone tells you, if it works for you, do it.  Don't worry about what they say.  Find out if it works for you and then do it again and again.

Is a ketogenic diet for you?  There are experts who will tell you it is a horrible idea.  They will list many different reasons why the body won't like it.  No matter what anyone tells you, if it works for you, do it.  Test the waters and if you find that your body responds, go for it!

You want to give Escalating Density Training a try?  Many people will tell you that it is a bad idea.  How can you truly gain muscle by forcing yourself to complete your exercise circuit in a set amount of time?  No matter what anyone tells you, if it works for you, do it.  Give Escalating Density Training 12 weeks of your workout time and see where you end up.
