The secret to building muscle that bodybuilders rarely talk about

A small amount of money can turn any novice into a know-it-all. Give sedentary Jerry some knowledge on how to lose body fat or build muscle, and within months of seeing the results, he'll become Armchair Arnold, who his friends endorse as the "best" way to grow, build muscle or burn fat. It doesn't matter if you've been on it for less than a year.

Of course this is not a new phenomenon. Long before every "brother" with knowledge had a fitness website or social media account, "knowledge" was controlled by bodybuilding magazines. Magazines tell readers that the "secrets" of the abduction lie somewhere between the front page and the ad-filled pictures of muscle giants.

Fast-forward a few decades and anyone with access to Wi-Fi can tell you that they have the "secrets" for anyone who visits their site. Everywhere is good. And in other cases it is more harmful than consuming Tide Pods.

Yes, there are aspects of bodybuilding that can be considered "true on all levels". But there is one bodybuilding secret that bodybuilders rarely talk about. That secret is the context.


Your first online program but not the result you had in mind

What was the first exercise program you pulled from a magazine or put online? Do you remember? I remember mine was a Jim Stoppani show on bodybuilding.com. This show sounded bad. Heck, I thought I was "the one" who would turn me from a scruffy, fat kid into a puffy superhero.

The program was great. But it didn't work for me. And it was frustrating to see other people post their results online, they got results when after 6 weeks I still didn't look like Captain America.

Who hasn't felt that? You download a program and think you look like the man who started it, but after the prescribed number of weeks you don't look like that man at all. That, my friend, is probably the biggest mistake people make when they start exercising. People don't see the context they assume.

This was something I didn't realize when I first tried to get in shape over a decade ago. But hey, you can't tell a young, clumsy, perky 20-year-old that he won't be a beast by the end of summer.

However, life is rarely about getting it right the first time. Life is about making mistakes and learning from them and then sharing your story for someone else to avoid or correct before they make the same mistakes.

Enough of me, let's talk about Arnold real quick.
