5 Tips For Bodybuilding At College (Part 2) :
3 - Stock up on protein shakes and healthy snacks
Before you go
to your lectures or classes each day, make up a healthy lunch for
yourself so that you can avoid the canteen, take some protein shakes or
snakes as well to ensure you don’t go hungry and your body stays
fuelled. If you have to go into the canteen, don’t be tempted by the
unhealthy food, it’ll just undo all the good work you’ve been doing down
the gym. Try to stick to the food options you’d normally go for such as
chicken, eggs, pasta, tuna, salads and cottage cheese.
4 - Find your local gyms
As
soon as you get there spend some time orientating yourself with the
area you are staying, find the local gyms, have a look around and see
which ones are best suited to your needs. Speak to some of the
instructors and find out the best routes for running so you can get your
cardio training in. Don’t forget to check the opening times of the gyms
and their prices, many will give you a student discount on membership,
so make sure you ask.
5 - Form good habits and avoid the booze
Watch
your habits and try and form good ones, make sure you get enough sleep
and organise your time so that you get your work and training done, as
well as making the most of the social activities. Try to avoid the
drinking as you’ll be throwing your training away; if you are just
bodybuilding for fun and to look and feel good don’t feel bad about
having a few drinks at the week end, but remember drink in moderation
and be responsible. If you are bodybuilding for competition then there
is no way any alcoholic drinks should be getting past your lips. As
alcohol lowers your testosterone, dehydrates and will cause you to put
on fat. Abstain from drinking and your friends will soon respect your
for discipline and commitment.
