Listen Later

3 Spots available to the first 3 people to DM "MUSCLE GAIN" to @Colossusfit 
In today's episode we go over the top ten muscle building mistakes you're probably making and how to fix them. 

Listed points:
1- Always training in the same rep range
2- Undervaluing the value of food.
-Tell story of buddy who thought he was eating a lot, but actually wasn't b/c not keeping track.
Carbs- provides body with the energy it needs.
Fats- value-able at increasing testosterone levels and other hormones responsible for growth
Protein- helps you maintain your muscle mass and promotes muscle growth when you do strength training. Numerous studies show that eating plenty of protein can help increase muscle mass and strength
3- Not lifting heavy enough
4- Winging it.
As the saying goes, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. The majority of your training should be well thought out and planned if you want the best results.

5- Switching it up too much OR too little
6- Being too focused on being shredded
If you're new to lifting you can gain so much more muscle.
6.5- Dirty/Fat bulks
7- Barbells and DB's are king
^Best bang for your buck
8- Always training to failure
-The truth is that always training to failure is actually not a very efficient training strategy. Not only does it often lead to less volume, it is also very taxing on the nervous system.
9- Not Getting Enough Sleep
-We put a lot of work into breaking down our muscles in the gym, but sleep is actually where the good stuff happens. Growth, recovery, and all those awesome adaptations we look forward to take place in our sleep.
10-Not being consistent enough.
