Arnold Schwarzenegger once said that "A good
bodybuilder has the same mind that a sculptor has." It's a
   poignant testament to painstaking efforts it takes to
create a body that is truly legendary. Muscle-building can
be hard work, true, but there is an artistic side to all of the
           pumping, the sweat, and the iron.
If you are trying to grow your muscles and you're just
  starting, don't start out blindly. A sculptor always has a
    plan (even if only in their minds) of exactly what the
finished product will be. Do the same thing before you get
  in the gym and start a lifting free-for-all. Go to the gym
   knowing what type of body you are trying to achieve.
  Should you focus on pushups to failure in order to get a
   chest that's more cut? Or should you do heavy, incline
  bench pressing to get the larger slabs of hypertrophied
   muscle that are characteristic of bodybuilder's chest?
The Artist's Tools
A great sculptor has tools. A stone sculptor has a trusty
hammer and chisel. A clay sculptor has wire end tools and
scrapers. Just as a sculptor has tools to create remarkable
   works of art, so too should a bodybuilder. What are a
bodybuilder's/muscle building enthusiast's tools? Weights
  & Exercise, Diet, Cardio, and Rest. In reality these
seem like extremely simple tools. However, much like the
  old hammer and chisel, in the hands of a master, these
tools can create chiseled bodies that people dream about.
Weights & Exercise
Weights are the muscle-building artist's molding tool.
  Every exercise you do has a different effect on the way
your muscles will ultimately look, and even how firm they
   are. How heavy you lift will determine how full your
 muscles will become. High repetitions with lower weight
promote greater muscular definition. Other exercises, like
  yoga for example will help to elongate and stretch the
                         muscles.
Diet
This is how you add clay to your canvas. It's a little more
 complicated than the way a sculptor adds clay, but there
 are similarities. Sure you can eat anything you want, and
you will most definitely add "clay" to your physique. But if
 you're eating Cinnabons and ice cream sundaes to do it,
let's just say you'll end up with "bad clay" in all the wrong
places. A high protein diet, healthy carbs, vegetables, etc.,
  help to add slabs of "good clay," muscle, to your body.
Cardio
This is the muscle-builder's ultimate etching tool. Do you
  want your muscles to show without having to even flex
them? A consistent cardio program helps. Cardio will allow
 you to scrape away layers of fat to reveal layers of toned
                    muscle underneath.
Rest
This is a finishing tool that many people don't think about.
   Hard training is an important part of building a great
   body, but so is rest. Timing your rest periods, getting
enough sleep, and giving your body time to recuperate, is
 how you allow the work that you've done to take effect.
When you train, become an artist of sorts, everyday you
   go to the gym. The weights and training equipment
become your tools, and your body of course...the canvas.
 How you use these tools, can make all the difference in
the world. Why is it that some people can be members of
 a gym for years, go regularly, yet their "canvases" never
 really change all that much? A large part of this artistry
    lies in the exercises you do, how you do them, the
 intensity with which you do the exercises, and the self-
  discipline you have to stick to you training and eating
 regimen. Strive to become as fit as you can. What have
                       you got to lose?
