More Is Not Always Better For Bodybuilding
Nitrobol Review
Since ordering Nitrobol seven weeks ago I have gained about 20 pounds of straight muscle. I didn't think I could get to this bodyweight. For a long time I was stuck at 165 but today I am 186 and still growing. Everyone around me things I am on the juice but when I show them the Nitrobol bottle they want to know more.
Thanks for everything,
Lionel E. Pope II

4 Costly "More Is Better" Mistakes
With the aim of gaining bigger muscles, surprisingly, you may be the biggest hindrance. The bodybuilding world has a lot of flawed ideas, especially in the realm of thinking that doing more is better. Below are a few bodybuilding mistakes that could be costing you in terms of energy, money and time.
Too Many Supplements
People often forget the purpose of supplements. Supplements are meant to fill the gaps within your diet and help you get the most from your efforts from your workouts. Do not adopt idea that supplements are a replacement for hard work and proper diet. Over and over again, there a lot of people out there who will blow most of their budget on over-hyped supplements, but all the while what they really need may be basic whole foods, sweet potatoes or steak. What you want to do is to make sure that you mastered your diet before adding anything to your usual routine. Having mastered basic nutrition will get you better results compared to sub-par diet and superior supplements.
More Workout Volume
Not a lot of people that it's possible for you to train too often, too hard and too long. A lot of people carry the mentality that “more is better”, especially when it comes to adding more volume to the frequency and length of your workouts. This is a costly mistake. The reason behind this is because your muscles grow outside of your workouts and outside the gym.
If you have worked-out properly, then your work in the gym will produce microscopic trauma and tears within your muscles. The things that you do outside of your gym like sleeping, supplementation, stretching, drinking water and eating will repair those damages and grow the muscles. However, if you work those muscles again before they can completely heal, you are just robbing yourself of growth and you may be exposing yourself to unnecessary pain and potential injury. This means if you want to get those muscles growing, what you need is more recovery time. Allow the muscles to heal completely before working them out again. This way you will enjoy a faster and injury-free growth.
Doing More Pro-Level Workout Routines
What you want to do is to learn from the professionals. Study their workout principles and not the actual workout routines. Listen to their exercise recommendation and training tips, but do not follow their overall work volume and duration.
More Advice
Everybody has an opinion and, chances are, there are a lot of it going around within your gym. However, if you’re looking for supplementation or training advice, then make sure that the person advising you knows what they are talking about. Until you are sure of that, it’s better to stay suspicious. There a lot of bad advice going around in most gyms and these advices often leads to slow progress, health problems or looking terrible at shows. If you do not want to be an another example, then be very skeptical of any kind of advice.
The truth is, the only person who knows your body better is you. However, if you have no or little idea on what to do with your body, it’s best that you stick to stocks, workouts and programs that are built around strong fundamentals. Once you have a better idea of how your body behaves or grows, you can then fine-tune your workout and supplementation for faster gains. Most people would like to gain as much as they can in the least time possible. Because of this, people often think that "more is better". Oftentimes, this is not true. Take note of the tips mentioned above and avoid costly mistakes that fall under the idea of “more is better”. This way you will be growing at optimal speed and time.
