One of the main things you really need to strive for when you’re at the gym is proportionality. Many times I’ll see guys walking around with a chest & arms that are huge, but they wear sweat pants because they do not want you to see how they ignore their leg workouts. Give me a break with that stuff; you really need to work out so your body is a matching set. A major factor of your Strength Training Routine or bodybuilding routine some may say.

There are questions about the very best way to achieve this goal. Nearly virtually everyone you see has some part that is out of proportion. Even some of the top dogs in the business have aspects that are slightly out of proportion. The trick to getting your body into top shape is staying with a strategic steady schedule. It is not really a trick, but more like common sense, but you would not think so if you look around the gym.

There are a few different ways to achieve this goal, but I think that I’ve found the best way. Dividing your time between your different parts is a must. When I’m talking about ‘different parts’ I’m meaning one day you concentrate on chest, one day legs, etc. Rotation of exercise is also key factor to keeping your body guessing at what’s coming up next do not screw up your Strength Training Routine by not doing this. By example, if you’re doing bicep exercises you do not want to do hammer curls day after day & think that your biceps are going to have the best shape ever!

You have to mix it up in various fashions. There is more. To start with, staying with the same example, hammer curls are a compound exercise, involving many more muscles than just the bicep. So, you want to do some isolation exercises to shock the muscle; jump on the preacher curls, or crank up the weight or turn your sets upside down. There’re lots of ways to get that shock to your system that is going to promote maximum growth & sculpt the muscle the way you want it to be. Of course, I go into this in much more detail in my RIPPED Weight Training book.

That sort of shock to your muscles promotes better development of the muscles, but an even bigger part of the proportionality is making sure your body parts match. Do you have one bicep bigger than the other? Do you have the toothpick legs? Be honest with yourself. If you think other people are so struck with your arms that they do not notice your legs (or your long sweat pants in the middle of summer) you’re wrong. Do you follow? The greatest structures on earth have the best foundations. Your legs are your foundation; you really need to make them strong & solid, like the base of a pyramid.

Give yourself an honest assessment & have a friend critique you… Tell them to be brutally honest & then do not get all defensive. At least do not let them know you’re unhappy about what they say. They are doing you a favor, so be a man about it & thank them.

The thing I’m really trying to emphasize here is that you’re making the best you; if you’re doing the right things at the gym. If you’re not doing the right things, hey, if you’re satisfied with looking out of balance, maybe you should find another discipline than bodybuilding. Do you follow? This sport is about building the perfect body. Don’t get me wrong, all bodies are not going to look the same. Your perfect body will not look exactly like anyone else’s, but it will be the right one for you, if you pay attention to your proportions & make them right.

Proportionality is one of the pillars of the RIPPED system, because I think it’s a foundation of bodybuilding. Next time you’re in the gym take a look around & I’m sure you’ll agree; the best physiques are proportional.
