What’s going on Nation! Today we’re going to expose the 5 fundamental muscle-building mistakes that are holding you back from maximizing your muscle gains!

And I am not talking about the people who are trying to maintain a certain look, I’m talking about the guys in the gym that’ve been lifting weights for years TRYING to make gains, but still look the same as the day they first walked through the door. So if this sounds like you and you want to start building some solid muscle then make sure YOU really pay attention and for those of you who MIGHT be seeing gains, but they’re slow.. you better pay attention too.

Let’s dive right into mistake number 1!

Mistake #1 – You THINK You’re Eating Enough
There’s no point EVEN TOUCHING on the next 4 mistakes if you do not fix this one first! Your training might be truly flawless with no weak points whatsoever, but you will not gain an ounce of muscle if you do not eat properly to support those gains.

And I’m not just talking about adding some protein shakes to your meal plan. Well, protein and amino acids in general, are the building blocks of muscle, but you need more than just adequate protein to reach your muscle-building potential. Here’s everything you need to know:

You Need To Be Consuming Enough Protein. How much? 1 gram of protein per pound of lean bodyweight should be enough, but if you want to be on the safe side, you could go even higher than that to about 1.5 1grams per pound of LEAN BODYWEIGHT and remember that LEAN BODYWEIGHT is your total weight minus your fat.

You Need To In A Caloric Surplus. Protein consumption alone means nothing if it’s not accompanied by a slight caloric surplus. Otherwise, protein is simply just used for your energy needs. Only after your body is getting enough energy, and only then, excess protein can be allocated toward building new muscle tissue. Now, I know some of you guys are going to bring up “Positive Nitrogen Balance” because there are some videos on YouTube explaining that you can build muscle without being in a surplus of calories.However I HIGHLY disagree and if you would like to see an in-depth video on that be sure to comment below and will make that video!

You Need To Be Consuming Enough Carbs. Why’s that important? Well, carbohydrates are your body’s preferred source of energy. If you do not provide your body with the fuel it needs, how can you expect to have the energy required to smash your workouts, break PRs and become stronger or bigger? The easy answer is...you can’t.

Your Meal Plan Needs To Be Clean. This simply means that the protein, carbs, fat and calories that you’re tracking are just numbers on your muscularstrength.com app. These numbers are just quantities of “how much” you ate, but you need to ensure that the QUALITY of your food sources is enough to maximize your muscle-building potential. Remember that getting your macronutrients from high-quality sources of food means you’re also getting indispensable micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals that play a VITAL role in muscle- building and your health in general. This is why when people say things like “protein is protein bro” and they eat shitty processed food all day, look ripped as hell, and claim IIFYM you should know by now they’re on drugs. Don’t fall for the gimmicks.

So now that you’ve got your meal plan in order and you’re adhering to it every single day with dedication, we can move on to the next mistake that’s killing your gains!

Mistake #2 – You’re Performing Too Many Exercises!
Guys, more is not always better. PERIOD. Performing 5, 6, 7, or even sometimes 8 exercises for one body part is the VERY DEFINITION of killing your gains. You go to the gym to STIMULATE, not ANNIHILATE your muscles. It seems that most of us have this image in our head that our workouts need to last 90 minutes and we need to just keep hammering out different exercises until the time is up.
