As a sport, bodybuilding goes all the way back to the 12th century in India where we find the first training techniques and bodybuilding specific nutrition. By the 1500s in India, bodybuilding had become a national pastime and people from all over the world had also taken up the practice and used stone and wood to create the first dumbbells, thus giving birth to the crucial component of bodybuilding which is lifting weights.

Among the general public, bodybuilding first became recognized as a widely popular sport for commercial purposes in the late 1800's with the introduction of strongmen like Eugene Sandow. National and International competitions began taking place by the early 1900's. Sandow was one of the main figures in the early bodybuilding movement and was known as The Father of Modern Bodybuilding. He consistently pushed his ideas and theories on bodybuilding and fitness to the world through exhibitions, personal appearances and his breakthrough magazine, Physical Culture.

It was the persistent efforts of Sandow that led to the incorporation of weightlifting into the Olympics at the Olympic Games in Athens in 1896. In 1904, Sandow was chosen as an honored judge at a major bodybuilding event held at the Royal Albert Hall in London that attracted over 2,000 people to watch.

The sport became even more popular and profitable as a business in the 1920s with newcomers like Charles Atlas coming on the scene. Who doesn't remember his ads that appeared in magazines, comic books, and newspapers all over the world? Remember, the bully kicking sand in his face? That was the first bodybuilding course I bought back in the mid seventies. The manufacture of dumbbells and barbells started gaining momentum all over the world and new innovations in training, dieting, and exercise equipment were coming out more every year.

Bodybuilding developed a cult following from the forties to the seventies with movies like Hercules featuring the incredible Steve Reeves, as well as the popular Tarzan series of movies that was played by many different bodybuilding actors. Some of the notables of this time period were Joe Gold, the founder of Gold's Gym and World Gym franchises, Harold Zinkin, Two time Mr. America John Grimek, and Great Britain's Reg Park. Bodybuilding was now beginning to set itself apart from weightlifting and became even more popular. The early seventies saw the introduction of a young bodybuilder who would become a pop icon and a household name all over the world, Arnold Schwarzenegger who used his superb talent and charisma along with a never before seen physique to become the best developed man in the world according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

Gym workout programs can vary dramatically from bodybuilder to bodybuilder. One gym bodybuilding workout for one bodybuilding enthusiast can deliver outstanding results while another gym workout can be a disappointment for another bodybuilder.

After thousands of bodybuilding fitness consulting sessions, and publishing a popular weight training guide, I constantly teach bodybuilders a results proven gym workout routine that builds muscle fast.

All you have to do is follow my 8 Gym Workout Bodybuilding Tips and you will soon see your muscle building results double.

8 Gym Bodybuilding Workout Tips

1. Have a clear weight training routine purpose.

Upon entering the gym it is imperative to have a clear cut bodybuilding routine plan of action. You should know exactly what exercises you will perform, how much weight you will need to lift, and how many reps you must beat. Therefore, your whole bodybuilding routine is 100% planned, set in stone, prior to beginning your gym workout. You must walk into the gym with a definite plan, and purpose.

2. Be in a "warrior" high intensity weight training state of mind.

It is crucial to enter the gym workout focused. I can remember entering the gym and instantly beginning to perspire. I mentally had worked myself up into state of high intensity weight training desire. This is even before I lifted one weight. It is called focus, and anticipation.

Bodybuilding results are only seen when you force yourself to grow. That takes high intensity weight training, as well as ultra high mental focus. Your mind should be totally focused on conquering the next rep. It is important to imagine yourself forcing out that one additional muscle building repetition.

In an effective gym workout, your attitude, and drive will determine your altitude of muscle development.

3. Focus on effective pre- gym workout bodybuilding nutrition.

Make sure you ingest a small amount of complex carbohydrates, and protein approximately 2 hours prior to beginning your gym workout. This will assure you of getting the adequate amounts of energy producing nutrients to expel in your high intensity weight training session.

Another extremely important gym workout tip is to make sure you are properly hydrated with, preferably, water. You should be consuming at least one-half of your bodyweight in ounces each and every day.

Bodybuilding training preparations are similar to space shuttle preparations. Your goal should be to get your system ready for a high intensity weight training blast off.

4. Did you bring your bodybuilding workout log to your gym workout?

One of the biggest mistakes bodybuilders consistently make is neglecting to track their weight lifting progress. Without measuring progress, there generally is little improvement. How do you know what you are suppose to beat if you have no data? How can a department store set sales goals if they don't track sales? It is just absolutely silly seeing bodybuilders completing their gym workouts without recording any data. That what is not measured will not improve.

5. Gym workouts are for training, not socializing.

Remember, you are in the gym to get muscle building results. If you are talking and goofing around, how in the world can you be ultra focused on going to war with the weights? Get your work done, and then socialize if you wish. I tell my clients to stay focused, and don't allow distractions. Focus on conquering that near impossible, muscle growth repetition.

6. Use only proven bodybuilding program principles.

Don't listen to Joe Bodybuilders newest theory on building muscle. Stick to what has been scientifically proven to work. Beware of all the gym chatter floating around. To discover all of the most advanced proven bodybuilding principles visit my muscle building weight training guide presented in digital audio. Bodybuilding Done Right is a how to bodybuilding audio revealing the proven scientific bodybuilding program principle the pros use, but refuse to share.

7. Avoid Overtraining.

Once you have completed your pre-designed 100% high intensity bodybuilding routine, it is time to get out of the gym, and go home and grow. Hold yourself back from doing one extra set. Remember, more is not necessarily better. Stick to your plan. With high intensity weight training you need less volume of work. Any extra basic weight training exercises could be counter productive to your bodybuilding muscle growth.

Get out of the gym, and let your body compensate, and later overcompensate with added fat burning muscle tissue.

Also, make sure your body has fully recovered from the previous gym workout before you train again.

8. Begin the recovery process with optimal bodybuilding nutrition.

You have an hour after your high intensity weight training workout to replenish your glycogen levels, thus, aiding in the muscle building, and recovery process. Take in two parts complex or simple carbohydrates with one part protein. This is an important bodybuilding tip that has been proven to aid in the muscle recovery, and building process. So power your gym workout with these proven tips.

These are 8 important gym workout tips that should be followed. Following these bodybuilding workout tips will do wonders for your weightlifting, muscle building results.

More animals would be hunted on Antelope Island under a bill approved Tuesday by the Senate.

SB187, sponsored by Sen. Bill Hickman, R-St. George, would allow hunters to bag bighorn sheep and mule deer in addition to bison.

The bill, passed 18-11 after considerable debate, now goes to the House.

Hickman, who has earned the nickname "Wild Bill," said the Great Salt Lake island is "not a sanctuary" and should, like other state parks, be available for multiple uses including hunting.

Currently, the state issues six bison permits for an annual four- hour hunt. Hickman's bill adds six permits a year -- two each for bison, bighorn sheep and mule deer.
The permits are expected to raise as much as $200,000 from big- game hunters. Hickman said the hunt would also serve to harvest what he described as "some of the older, unproductive animals."

But Sen. Scott McCoy, D-Salt Lake, said there is no biological reason for the hunt. "This bill is not about thinning out the herds on Antelope Island. What it's about, pure and simple, is cash," McCoy said.

The state Division of Parks and Division of Wildlife Resources both oppose the bill, as does the Davis County Commission and a number of wildlife groups.

"I think locals should be heard," Sen. Sheldon Killpack, R- Syracuse, said, calling Antelope Island one of the state's top tourist attractions.

He said "safari tours" started this year would be affected by the additional hunting. "There's more than one way to skin a mule deer as far as finances go," Killpack said.

Sen. Tom Hatch, R-Panguitch, said hunting is allowed in several other state parks. "I don't know what makes it so special," he said of Antelope Island. Hatch said hunting was not inconsistent with keeping the island wildlife "tame and gentle" to make them more "watchable."

Senate Majority Leader Pete Knudson, R-Brigham City, voted for the bill but raised concerns about creating a game preserve for trophy hunters. "In my heart of hearts," Knudson said of the additional permits, "I think it has some merit."

It is generally agreed that Utah has a good elk management program.

A study by a 15-person Elk Management Plan Advisory Committee concluded it could be better. Last week, the Utah Wildlife Board agreed.

Sweeping changes will take place with respect to the elk hunting program here in Utah that will, ultimately, increase hunting opportunity, increase chances on special hunts and increase the number of trophy bulls within the state's boundaries.

"The committee worked hard to find ways to allow more people to hunt bull elk on limited entry units without negatively affecting the bull elk population we have," said Jim Karpowitz, big game coordinator for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. "The committee came up with some great recommendations, and the Division of Wildlife Resources supported those recommendations
The recommendations approved by the board are:

-- The hunter cap on spike bull units has been reduced from 19,000 to 11,000 permits, and the general season on spike units has been shortened from 13 to nine days.

"This will reduce the take of spike bulls and allow more of them to grow into mature animals. Also, by shortening the spike-bull hunt, there will be about 10 percent fewer elk killed. These elk will carryover and be old, more mature bulls for the following hunt," Karpowitz said. "Almost 13,000 hunters participated in the spike bull hunt in 2004."

-- Bull elk on limited entry units are managed under three age class objectives. The board accepted the committee's recommendations to change the age classes.

It voted to keep the 3- to 4-year age class, but changed the middle and highest categories.

Units managed under the middle category, which had been 5 to 6 years, will be managed for 4- to 5-year-old bulls, while units managed under the highest category, which had been 7 to 8 years, will be managed for 5- to 6-year-old bulls.

"Lowering these age categories will still allow hunters a chance for a very nice bull but because we'll be managing for a slightly younger animal, we can offer more permits," Karpowitz said. "There are plenty of bulls on these units, so offering more permits should not affect bull numbers or the quality of the animals much."

-- A late season rifle elk hunting opportunity will be available away from the rut. The late season hunt will run Nov. 12 to 18 in 2005. To accommodate the late season hunt, the general muzzleloader elk season will start and end three days earlier than it did this year. About 30 percent of the limited entry rifle permits for 2005 will be used for the late season hunt.

"Fewer elk should be taken (during the November hunt) because this hunt will be held outside of the rut," he said. "The benefit to hunters is the chance to hunt elk when virtually no one else is afield. The long-term benefit should be more elk and more limited entry permits for hunters in the future."

Karpowitz said the committee looked at the way Arizona, considered to be a model for elk-hunt programs, issued permits.

"There is no general season. Everything is limited entry," he responded. "Everything goes into a draw. The only hunt during the rut is the archery hunt. Everything else, about 90 percent of the tags, are for the late-season (November) hunt."

Utah's season currently falls during the rut in early October.

Despite some objections, the board also approved a Legislature- approved premium elk tag. Last session, the Legislature voted for a more expensive premium tag but did not make implementation mandatory.

Five percent of the limited entry tags will be sold as premium tags. The cost will be $508, as compared to $280 currently charged for a limited entry tag, and will allow the purchaser to hunt all three elk seasons -- archery, muzzleloader and general rifle.

Karpowitz also believes this will increase chances for drawing out for a regular limited entry permit because some of those who would typically apply will now shift to the premium draw.

"Changing the spike regulations and having a late-November hunt are both long-term fixes," he continued. "Lowering the age classifications in our elk-management plan will have immediate effect.

"Not changing the age classes could result in fewer hunting opportunities in the future, not more."

This past year there were 7,000 new applications submitted for limited-entry hunts. With some changes in the regulations to offer more hunting permits in the future, "someday, if we continue to get more applications, the chances of getting a limited entry elk permit will be astronomical. Currently, hunters have a one-in-30 chance of drawing a permit."

In other action, the board approved two deer hunting recommendations requested by the Southern and Southeastern citizen regional advisory councils.

The five-day general rifle buck deer hunt will continue in the Southeastern Region. In the Southern Region, the general rifle buck deer hunt has been reduced from nine to five days across the region. The 2005 general rifle buck deer hunt in the two regions will run Oct. 22 through 26.
