Life as a
Weightlifter
Many stages happen throughout your
life when you decide to lift weights. It
can be when you are very young, or if you started very old and late. Whenever you started weightlifting it will
become one of the greatest and most rewarding decisions of your life. Many results will happen from your hard
effort and dedication. This post will
discuss all the perks, growth, and building in your muscles throughout your
life of weight lifting.
Depending on what age you start
weightlifting, your body will react to the new lifting and weight training you
are now performing. In the beginning of
your weightlifting, your muscles are not accustomed to all the work and effort
that your muscles now have to do, this will cause slight discomfort and
soreness in your muscles. Over time your
muscles will get used to the work that they will no longer become sore after
exercise. Daily working out and exercise
will even have a chance to make you taller and make your shoulders wider. If you start young in your teens, then you
will grow all the more from the exercises and naturally from puberty and growth
spurts. Obviously you will begin to see
growth and strength in your muscles after a few weeks of hard work and
motivation. Your shirts will get tighter
and your confidence stronger. The veins
in your forearms, biceps, shoulders, and maybe even legs, will begin to show
from the muscles pushing out the veins making them pop out for long periods of
time.
Although over time you will need to
do one of two things to continue to see growth in your body. You see your body likes to fall into a system
of repetition where it does the same thing over and over for long periods of
time. From something like working out
your body may fall into this system after a few weeks, causing your body to not
grow and build muscle anymore, it might even become weaker and smaller. To prevent something like this from happening
you need to either increase the average weight that you do in your exercises
causing your muscles to stress further which they are not used to making them
continue to grow. The other thing that
you can do is create new workouts with exercises that you don’t normally do,
causing different areas of the muscles to be worked also continuing growth. There are many many different exercises for
just one muscle group so you can have many different workouts for each muscle
group. The smartest idea is to do one
cycle of workouts for three to four weeks in a row and after that either
increase weight or change your workouts.
Over time your skin will tighten
from the increasing mass of your muscles, the weight that you can lift will
gradually and rewardingly increase. You
will set goals, achieve those goals, and set higher goals. Cardio is always important to not only make
you healthier but to also reduce fat and sweat will help clean out your pores,
plus you feel much better after a long sweaty cardio workout. Once you get into the rhythm of exercising
you will want to learn more and more about it and eventually you will be
completely addicted to weightlifting and that feeling of skin tightening, blood
rushing, arm blasting, veins popping, and throw upping experience you feel in
the gym. Weightlifting is a lifestyle
and one of the best decisions you will make in your life. If you can succeed in weightlifting you will
find many other things in life are very easy.
Weightlifting teaches discipline, nutrition, good decision making,
achievement, hard work, and consequence.
Remember, we’re all in this together, keep your stick on the ice.
