Bodybuilding and body proportions

The biggest mistake most bodybuilders fall into is working on only one or two types of muscles. Those types of muscles most often belong to the upper body (biceps, chest, and back) and look good in the bedroom mirror (let’s assume the mirror isn’t full size).

You don’t want to build a huge upper body and carry sticks, I mean your legs. Yes, proportion matters and your exercise routine has to build your body equally. To make sure you have the correct routine, you should take a picture of your body before your exercise routine and 2-3 months after and compare them. If any of your body parts look too big in the image, that means that body part is out of proportion and you should adjust your plan accordingly.

What to do when your body grows disproportionately?

The first thing you should do is look at your exercise routine and analyze it. If you spend too much effort on your upper body and not enough time on your lower body, that could be the main problem. In this case, you need to allocate time from your upper body routine to the less developed lower body, which is falling behind. Keep in mind that you never have to stop exercising your most developed body part. You just have to make sure that you are going to be able to build, your whole body, equally.

Help is needed?

If you don’t have enough experience to create the right bodybuilding workout routine for you, you should see a personal trainer to adjust or build it for you.
