Try these 3 muscle building keys if you’ve chased your muscle gain goal unsuccessfully:
_______________________________________
1. LIFT HEAVY THINGS REGULARLY: 3-5 days per week of resistance training is necessary to trigger muscle gain. Always prioritize form and consistency here.
_______________________________________
2. EAT MORE PROTEIN: Find your protein sweet spot. Everyone is different but .7-.8g of protein per pound you weigh per day is a good place to start. Some people might need more and some people might be able to get away with less. Eating more healthy calories in general is going to help.
_______________________________________
3. SLEEP: You need to prioritize sleep if you’re serious about muscle gain. Sleep provides recovery time for your muscles to repair and grow stronger/bigger. Don’t give me some BS line about how you don’t need sleep. You do need sleep like all other humans and so do your growing muscles
