Why Should You Use Bodybuilding Supplements?

By Henrick Scofers

If you exercise, do you really need to use bodybuilding supplements? It's true that exercise is very important when it comes to building muscles, but it's not enough to get you the muscles you want. If you want muscle mass and you want a significant amount of it, your eating has to support doing that. You can't build muscles if you don't have the proper raw materials to do so, so if you want to get the muscles you envision, you'll need to adjust those raw materials and then do the exercises to shape up, instead of the other way around.

Why are bodybuilding supplements so important? These supplements have a basic component to them that anyone who wants to build muscle needs, protein. Proteins are a particular kind of food substance that your body can convert to muscle easily once you digest them. And, of course, you need to eat to build muscle. That's because your body needs fuel, in the form of calories, to build and repair itself. Where you get your calories from matters, though. You can get your calories through carbohydrates, fats and proteins. If you consume protein calories, these calories are much more easily converted to muscle mass. Protein is high in foods like meat and eggs.

So why supplements and not just gorge yourself with meat and eggs? Protein is not the only thing you get when you eat meat. You also get fat which are stored in your body as those unsightly sagging lumps in areas like your belly and arms. How about eggs? The white part of eggs is indeed rich in protein. Unfortunately, the rich protein content is broken down when cooked. You can eat the egg whites raw for protein but it could be pretty risky since raw eggs can lead to salmonella poisoning. Besides eating egg whites and discarding the yolk could be pretty wasteful.

Bodybuilding supplements give you a high and safe dose of protein. With a generous amount of protein running through your body, the only thing you have to do next is concentrate activity on the body part you wish to bulk up. This is how your body works, if a certain part of it is strained more than the usual it compensates by sending more protein into the said body part, making it more prepared to handle the added strain and consequently it grows larger and leaner.

Once you have enough protein in your diet, it's a matter of simply concentrating on the exercise you do. Most trainers suggest you work your muscle groups to exhaustion. In other words, concentrate working out on a particular muscle group until you can't do any more repetitions. As one example, if you want to make your biceps larger, keep doing bicep curls until you can't do another repetition. As your muscle breaks down from this exercise, it rebuilds itself bigger and stronger from the protein you've taken in, thus giving you increased muscle mass.

Now that you know bodybuilding supplements are the perfect muscle building tools, you should be glad to know that they're very convenient to take; they come in forms like quills or drinks that can have you downing the protein you need in no time. - 17269
