Adding 4kg of muscle without gaining body fat - impossible without drugs?
WRONGI have worked with hundreds of men to build muscle and the vast majority of them are making the same mistakes which is restricting their muscle building progress
2 Common Mistakes Made By Men When Trying to Build Muscle
Quite often I’ll find that men are doing two things wrong that they see immediate results when then change
1. Not Training With Enough Volume
Coming from a bodybuilding background it’s natural for me to opt for higher volume in training.However I find time and time again that most men I work with are not doing enough.That’s not to say they don’t work hard in the gym because most do.Volume is a key component in hypertrophy and to build muscle fast you need to be doing lots of volume.BUT – here’s the key factor, high volume doesn’t mean light baby weights. It means getting uncomfortable with high volume leg press with a weight you’d normally stop at 10 reps on.
2. Not Eating Enough Food to Fuel Their Muscle Growth
Protein and Carbs are the weapons and they are not sharpened enough.While most men know that the need to eat protein to build muscle, they aren’t quite clear on how much.Often they aren’t tracking it and so they fall short.Carbs are also seen as the enemy by many men thanks to silly keto gurus on social media and so men routinely reduce their carb intake to keep fat under control.The result – less energy for lifting and so less muscle stimulation.
