Hardcore Body Building - How To Improve Your Body Building And Weight Training Program
Thursday, March 4, 2010 |Hardcore Body Building - How To Improve Your Body Building And Weight Training Program
Being "hardcore" does not mean having to alter your life to be on stage at the Mr. Olympia, having to sacrifice your life for the gym, or any other extreme measures. It simply means being intense, focused, and dedicated every minute you are in the gym in order for you to become the best you can be. That's the goal for all of us! Remember to train hard, go to failure (or near failure on certain sets), and continually give the best effort you can.
Genetics are a huge factor in bodybuilding as there are "easy gainers" and "hard gainers." The vast majority of people fall somewhere in between. Provided that you have clearance from your physician or healthcare provider, anyone can train "hardcore" because this style of training is a mental & emotional approach to training, rather than simply a training routine with heavy weights. ANYONE, therefore, can be a "hardcore" trainee since it all starts with your own mind.
Remember that even the genetic "thoroughbreds" on the Mr. Olympia stage are always looking to improve from year to year; so if they want to improve then remember that you can improve regardless of your genetics. At Metroflex, people from all walks of life train there every day; and the hardcore mentality is exemplified in numerous ways from people of all ages, athletic backgrounds, and limitations due to injury. Whether you train at Metroflex or at the most elegant health spa, the hardcore mentality should be considered as you can get the most out of your efforts. It also makes weight training fun, a challenge, and one which will help you realize consistent progress.

Gregg Valentino is one of the most controversial bodybuilders of all time. He started bodybuilding at the age of 13 and by the time he was in his late teens he had already developed huge 18 inch arms. It was only after 23 years of natural training that Greg started to experiment with steroids. During this time his arms grew to an in-human 28″. You may be familiar with Greg from the documentary, ‘The man whose arms exploded’.
#2 Markus Ruhl – Biggest Shoulders
Ruhl began training at the age of 19 following a doctor’s recommendation after sustaining a knee injury while playing soccer. At 120lbs, Ruhl began training hard six days a week until deciding to compete on a professional level when he was 23. Years later and Ruhl has developed a 60″ chest and ripped 24″ arms.

Ronnie Coleman holds the record of eight straight wins as Mr. Olympia, and is arguably the greatest bodybuilder of all time. Coleman also holds the record for most wins as an IFBB professional with 26 wins. And all of this is from an accounting graduate!
