By Elena Dalen


Bodybuilding competitions are an exciting way to test your progress and match your abilities against others. Every bodybuilder at least considers entering competitions at some point, and if you're really drawn to this you should do it. When you enter competitions, no matter how they turn out, you can still learn a lot. The following tips should be kept in mind, if you want to have a better chance of success.

One area that bodybuilders often neglect is cardio. Many people believe the bodybuilding is something that does not require cardio workouts. Having an edge on your opponents in a bodybuilding competition is something you need to have. You can give yourself a lot of extra definition by doing cardio workouts on a regular basis. On the day of the show, you want to be as lean and defined as possible. If you incorporate cardio into your workout regularly, this will be a simple thing to achieve. However, even if you seldom do cardio exercises, it's a good idea to start introducing them around three months before the competition. How much cardio you should do depends on your body type and if you need to lose any weight.

Before you enter a bodybuilding competition, try to attend as many contests as possible before hand. This way, you will be more at ease with the process when you choose to be one of the contestants. Just getting a feel of the atmosphere and watching the contestants will help you prepare. If you watch bodybuilding competitions on your television, you can gather a lot of information; however, nothing compares to attending a live event. You will also have the advantage of observing how the audience responds to the different competitors. And it will be easier to actually note what sets the winners apart from the other competitors. This type of research will be advantageous to you when you are ready to participate in a competition.

Obviously you would not be able to use steroids. The list would also include testosterone and some prescription meds. Anytime you compete in a natural bodybuilding competition, it is in your best interest to avoid prohibited substances, or face the possibility of disqualification from the competition itself.

Anytime you enter a bodybuilding contest, there are so many things you can do to improve your odds of doing well. By planning a few months in advance, you can improve your odds of doing well. Prior to the day of competition, you need to both physically and mentally prepare yourself. You need to be dedicated to your training. If you are, you will do well.
