bodybuilding for women can be one of the hardest tasks to learn. Men, unlike women, produce high amounts of testosterone that allow them to grow muscles faster and bigger than women can. Most of the information for bodybuilding has a male bias and this leaves bodybuilding for women as a tough task of digging through misinformation.
The first step is to find out where you're at physically. Take measurements of your chest, stomach, waist, arms and legs. Weigh yourself and measure your exact height. Find a caliper and measure your body fat percentage. This is the most important first step. This will give you the ability to have numbers to measure your results against.
Sit down and work out a diet. You will need to eat a meal that contains a significant portion of protein every 2-3hrs to keep muscle growth to the maximum. All non-essential food should be removed from the diet, which includes, sugar, processed food and white flour products. Take the time to journal what you eat and try to break it down into calories.
To properly measure results, you will need to eat a consistent amount of calories over a period of a week. At the end of a week weigh yourself and compare it to your previous weight. If you've lost weight or are still the same, you're going to need to eat more calories. After a month of doing this, take the time to measure your body again and check how things have changed. If you follow this formula you'll be expected to see significant results over a period of just a few months.
Even though bodybuilding for women can be tough, this process is a simple way to keep in control. Measure, experiment, measure and calibrate. That is essentially the process. Follow it and it will lead you to success.
