In the discipline of tae kwon do, the Korean martial art known
for it’s powerful kicks, tae means to trample or foot, kwon
means fist, and do means way. In its simplest form it is the way
of the hand and foot. Natural Bodybuilding is similar to this
martial art in its regards to discipline, perseverance, and
inner strength. These are the three of the tenets of tae kwon do
to achieve success. Miss one of the three characteristics and
chances are you will not achieve a successful natural
bodybuilding lifestyle. Worst yet, you will not receive the
benefits that this “way of life” can bring.
Learning a new way to eat is one of the prerequisites needed for
success. You will develop a nutritional habit to provide fuel
for demanding workouts and bodybuilding, also protein to rebuild
muscle fiber. You will learn of ways to increase your
nutritional energy. An example would be to introduce flaxseed to
your diet by adding it to salads, vegetables and your morning
oatmeal. Flaxseed is naturally high in Omega-3 oil, which is an
excellent long enduring energy source. Discipline will be needed
to reinforce this prerequisite. To avoid junk food that is high
in fat and refined sugar can be very challenging, especially
with it being so prevalent in today’s modern society.
To “bring out” the muscularity that you will have developed, you
will need to do cardiovascular training. The bodybuilding jargon
for this transformation is “cutting up” or “ripping”. This type
of training not only helps burn off the muscle blurring fat but
also increase energy by developing the lungs to process faster.
It will also help you recover faster from a muscle building
workout by forcing additional blood to move throughout your body
by way of the circulatory system. This fresh blood will carry
out the residuals in your muscles that remain from training.
Perseverance is needed to pursue cardiovascular training for
most individuals. Getting out of a warm bed in the early morning
to go running can be quite tough even for the most dedicated.
The one item that hasn’t been covered as of yet is muscle
building or bodybuilding. It is a game of mind over matter.
Inner Strength will become a major player in this part of the
equation. To endure the lactic acid build-up that occurs when
going deep into the “pump” can be quite overbearing and yet at
the same time exhilarating. Because there are so many different
muscle-building theories out there it can be quite overwhelming
trying to decide what to believe. This decision can be difficult
even for a veteran bodybuilder. A lifter must develop a
skeptical outlook at different programs and judge if the
training programs are worthwhile.
The Three Tenets and The Three Catalysts Relationship. The three
tenets; discipline, perseverance, and inner strength are
associated with the three catalysts for bodybuilding
development. The three catalysts I used for optimum muscle
development are listed below. Nutrition needs
(discipline) Fat-burning cardiovascular training
(perseverance) And muscle transfiguration (inner
strength)
Like a circle, all three intertwine with each other. Each one
depends on the next one for success.
