27 common & Shocking Bodybuilding Mistakes
Vince Gironda broke the mold with his unorthodox training methods and nutrition strategies, but he left a long lasting imprint on the bodybuilding community. As part the ubiquitous Arnold, very few well-known bodybuilders are known by their first name alone. Vince Gironda, however, predates the mighty Arnold for being known by just his first name or nickname the “Iron Guru.”
Perhaps it’s just coincidence that they were referenced the same way, or maybe each man’s major impact on bodybuilding required the special title as Vince and as Arnold. Certainly, both are legends in their own rig
Vince Gironda’s techniques To The ideal Physique
ht, and Vince was one of the best bodybuilders of his time.
For Vince, there were only ever two ways to train: the wrong way or the Vince Gironda way; there was no in between. Let’s take a look at some of Vince’s theories towards bodybuilding training.
1. Train 21 – rest 7
This is distinct concept Maximize Your muscle members are familiar with – three weeks of hard training followed by one week of rest. In my experience, three weeks is the average length of time, some can actually train hard for four or five, maybe some for six weeks. It depends on the individual and numerous variables. If you incorporate the Train 21-Rest 7 guideline into your regime, guarantee it’s a planned part of your training program just as your exercise routine.
Rest is nature’s method of restoring the nerves and whole body. Robbing yourself of needed rest will avoid central nervous system recovery and metabolic recovery. Nerves requires much more rest than muscles. Vince recognized that none can train exclusively on a concentrated program for too long because the time will come when it will cease to get even more results. Some term this point as being a sticking point or staleness, whereas Vince termed it over taxing the nerves and muscles.
This is a concept that does not need to be applied to enthusiastic beginners. It’s an advanced concept for experienced bodybuilders who experience sticking points much more frequently.
Agree or disagree with Train 21-Rest 7 ? let me know below.
2. A muscle has four Sides
If you ever got the chance to review some of Vince’s courses you’ll recall Camiseta Eintracht Frankfurt his course called A muscle has four Sides. This peaked bodybuilders interest from the time it was published. Vince stated, “All concepts I have advanced over the years have initially met with certain amount of skepticism, typically because initially they seem too easy to achieve the results desired in the time given. Yet eventually, in some cases twenty-five years later, these concepts are accepted around the world as conventional training aximos. I will tell you now what the secret of success really is. believe that the course I give will work and it will. If you have doubts, and don’t put everything into it, then you will find it will not work. The following course, A muscle has four Sides, is based upon the fact that different exercises develop different parts of a given muscle. By doing four exercises, one for each part of the muscle, you will achieve the fastest muscle growth…”
A muscle has four Sides sample workout For BicepsGet all equipment ready for all four exercises so you can do each exercise one best after the other with no rest between.
1) Barbell Preacher curl (for low biceps)
2) reverse Preacher curl (for high biceps)
3) alternate Incline Dumbbell curls (for middle outer biceps)
4) Seated Dumbbell curls (for middle inner biceps)
Important Points
Do each exercise for 12 reps.
Do only one compound set (1 time through all 4 exercises with no rest in-between).
Do this workout in the AM and then again in the PM (at least 4 hours apart). In the second workout, you can do lighter weight but keep your form stricter style and tighter muscular contractions.
There is no abdominal work done in this course. This is a muscle-size building course and ab work can shock the solar plexus and slow gains.
Work each muscle every 4 to 5 days like the following split below .
Eat protein every 2 to 3 hours that you are awake.
A sample split would look like:
Day 1 – Back, Chest, Shoulders
Day 2 – Triceps, Biceps, Forearms
Day 3 – Legs, Calves
Day 4 – same as day 1
Day 5 – same as day 2
Day 6 – same as day 3
Day 7 – Rest
3. common Bodybuilders Errors
Vince has a list of common errors bodybuilders were guilty of. I’m not certain but I believe he added to the list as time went by. If he discovered something it would placed on the list. Here’s just a small list of things he distinguished as wrong:
1. working upper body and legs on the same day.
2. Not touching chest to bar and calling it chinning.
3. Not raining the big toe and pulling heels together when performing calf raises.
4. Bench presses for pecs. This is 90% front delt work.
5. Not touching all four bells together on dumbbell benches. This also is 90% front delt work if you do not touch the bells together (when doing chest press).
6. Under working or overworking a muscle by performing too broad a variety of exercises on a given muscle.
7. Cheating exercises.
8. Presses for delts.
9. mixing carbohydrates and proteins.
10. Behind the neck chins or pull downs.
