14.What does all this mean to you? – Bodybuilding

After reading through this chapter, the main thing that you have to take away is that while every individual who decides to become a bodybuilder enters the fray with different ‘raw materials’, it does not automatically follow that your body shape or bone structure limits what you can do.

However, it is going to be helpful if you can analyze the kind of person you are before starting your bodybuilding training, because knowing what your raw materials are should enable you to approach bodybuilding far more practically.

While it is probably not realistic to expect you to understand all of the fine-detail niceties of whether your bone structure is perfect for bodybuilding or not, or

whether your muscle attachment points are suitable, you should be able to come up with a general idea of the kind of person you are before embarking on bodybuilding training.

The importance of this is that bodybuilding success ultimately depends on three factors - your general lifestyle, the training program you adopt and proper nutrition.


As we progress through this book, we will look at all of these different aspects of how to become a successful bodybuilder, but only you can know what raw materials you are starting with before you begin doing whatever is necessary to become a bodybuilding success.
