Archive: Muscle Building Mistakes That Will Stop Your Gains!
Posted on Friday, June 01 @ 07:19:32 MDT

Weight Training Written by: IM_Staff


Far more people start working out and then quit then those that start working out and stick with it!

10 Critical Mistakes!


#1: Missing Workouts

No Train-No Gain! Never miss a workout.


#2: Missing Meals

Feeding your muscles is a must. Make a meal Plan and stick with it!


#3: Not Enough Intensity

Muscle growth is related to the intensity level you train at. Train with half-ass intensity and you'll get half-ass results!!


#4: Not Enough Protein

The 3 macro-nutrients, protein, carbs, and healthy fats. Only one goes directly towards building muscle and that is protein! Get a lot of it!


#5: Always Trying a new Training Routine

Skipping from one workout to another will do nothing for muscle growth. Nothing replaces maximum effort, stick with a routine!


#6: Talking Too Much During Workout

Shut-up and train! Don't be a dick in the gym that just won't shut the hell up! Train first, then talk!


#7: Feaking 2 Hour Workouts!

Get rid of your 2 hour marathon and keep it to less than 60 minutes of training!


#8: Training too Often.

One thing you must realize is that you don't grow in the gym. Growth takes place during resting!


#9: Wasting Money, Time, and Effort!

Their is no miracle supplement. All you need is the basics and a little elbow grease! Most are just an excuse for hard training.


#10: Reading Magazines

The routines you find in magazines are way outta wack and are planned for juiced up Pro Bodybuilders. The "average joe" has no use for all that volume. *roll eyes* so stick with an ideal workout.
