FEATURED 2009 / FALL fitFLEX.com ARTICLE: How Important is HEAVY TRAINING for the Natural Bodybuilders?
The key is to address any mental disadvantage in this topic for the natural bodybuilder. Attitude may be limiting you
right from the start. How do you know that those guys who are lifting heavier than you are on drugs? Is it because
they’re stronger or bigger than you are? Are you such a model of physical and mental superiority that no one could
possibly be naturally stronger or bigger?
Is it at all possible that those 8 other guys may eat better than you, train harder or have been training longer?
Might they be more genetically gifted or able to harness their mental energies more efficiently than you can? If your answer
is no, I’m sorry to say that your attitude is getting in your way of being the best you can be. Natural bodybuilders need
to focus on what they can do—and forget about what they can’t do because they’re not on drugs.
Training heavy is very important to the natural bodybuilder. You have to overload your muscles if you want them to
grow. Once you have an adequate amount of training under your belt, learn to practice sound nutritional habits and give
yourself proper recuperation time, the only thing that will make a drug-free body-builder continue to grow is to become
progressively stronger.
After warming up sufficiently, train as heavily as possible and take every set to failure. Feel that you’re using
the right amount of weight when you can perform at least four repetitions but not more than six. Whether it’s off-season
or precontest, that’s the way you should always train that way.
