5 Legit Rules Of Building Muscle
5 Muscle Building Rules:
1- COMPLETE ADHERENCE
If you want to make it to the gym, you have to stick to your training regimen with relentless consistency for years.
I’m not interested in hearing any weak excuses for missing sessions.
I’m sick of hearing people’s lame excuses for not being able to work out that day.
You’re a jerk, it’s just not a priority for you.
It’s a reality that if you don’t adhere to your training, you’ll receive absolutely nothing out of it.
2- INTENSITY OF TRAINING
Simply put, most people do not work hard enough in the gym. When it becomes painful, people give up.
BECOME COMFORTABLE WITH BEING UNCOMFORTABLE!
That is the only option.
To generate, the best hypertrophic gains, most sets should be completed within 0–3 reps in reserve (RIR).
If you can perform 12 repetitions but only do 6, you’re not working hard enough. Simple.
3- RECOVERY MANAGEMENT
No, you should not train every day. Your body heals outside of the gym, not inside of it.
All of the “go hard bro, don’t be a pussy” nonsense from the train crowd has to end.
They’ll just get hurt, beaten up, and the results will be abysmal. Few clever trainers, on the other hand, will be as jacked as fuck.
Get your 7–9 hours of sleep every night, and make sure you handle your other stressors as well.
Allow yourself some time to disengage and relax; it’s necessary.
4- CONSTANT NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTATION
It is another area where lifters frequently fail.
It’ll do a lovely fuck all for you if you hit your calorie and macros Monday-Friday, but it’ll all go to crap over the weekend.
I hope you’re picking up on a pattern here. RUTHLESS CONSISTENCY is required every single day.
Another issue is many lifters complain they don’t eat enough.
I’ll say it again: bullshit.
If it’s important enough to you, you’ll find a method to get those calories in every day.
5- EXERCISE SELECTION
Pissing about on cables will get you nowhere if you want to become as jacked as possible.
Use the big heavy basic exercises to get the most bang for your buck every time, then throw in some extra isolation work when needed.
The man who pushes his Dumbbell bench press up to 80kg for reps will appear better than the one who does 17 sets of cable flys.
Understanding this early on will help you advance in the training game.
These basic principles will be useful for beginners/intermediates who are truly unclear about what they’re doing at the gym.
