That guy at the gym that never makes progress

You know those people that always look the same at the gym? They're there day after day, year after year - but with virtually no progress.

That's because they're focusing on the wrong thing. They're already doing the work - more work than they might need to do in fact.. But some simple error somewhere in their plan is causing them to plateau.

To make sure I'm as clear as possible, I want to go through all of the things that I think need to be present for you to effectively build muscle.

(and if you don't remember, building muscle should always be your #1 priority as it makes the rest of your fitness goals much more attainable).

In no particular order:

Protein: this is the building block of all of your muscle gains. Without it, you're not going to go very far. Supplement as you need (like with a high quality Isothority), but get the majority from whole foods.

Heavy weights: The stress that heavy weights, that extreme effort put on your body causes an almost immediate adaptation that you can't get from weights your body handles easily.

Consistency: Possibly the most important of them all, consistency is king. With consistency, you can move mountains.

Progressive overload via progress tracking: If you don't track your progress, you don't really know if you're improving. To effectively implement progressive overload, you must accurate track your workouts.

Rest, recovery, and deloads: Eventually your batteries wear you, and everything goes to shit. The goal is to push the line as much as possible, while never stepping over it. Proper rest, recovery, and a week away from the gym (deload) will keep you progressing rather than plateauing.

It might sound simple - and that's because it is. That's why my goal is to help you level up your fitness by making it simple.

BTW Episode #9 premieres tomorrow! This week, we get a little controversial.

We talk about:

- How WEED (the devil's lettuce) affects your gains and what it does to your body.

 

- How often you need to lift weights to see your best results

 

- Is a bad workout better than no workout?

 

- And if Impossible Meats were a sufficient replacement for real BEEF.

 

We also list off our top 5 Christmas movies of all time, dive in to dystopian futures, and have plenty of laughs.
