Are you Training Hard Enough (TAKE THIS TEST)

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

If you want to build muscle and see results then you have to train hard enough. The problem is, many people do not and simply have no way to know if they are or not in the first place. In this video, I show you how to tell if you are training hard enough to see results from your workouts. The answer may not be exactly what you want to hear, but I can promise you that it is the answer that you need to hear if you are going to make gains. The first thing you must realize is that getting gains has nothing to do with the type of music you listen to when you are working out, the sounds you make when lifting or even the amount that you sweat. The only thing that matters is effort. In fact, it can be summarized even more specifically by the fact that you want to take from your body more than what it is willing to give you at that time. Many of us never work out hard enough to see the results we are capable of. Often times, we will have a set number in our head for how many reps we are going to perform in a given set. When we reach that number we put the weights down, regardless of whether we could actually have performed another rep or two. If you do this, you are selling yourself short and you will not get the results that you want. Others will lose count during the set but it isn-t because they are reveling in the amount of burn that they feel as the reps accumulate or because of being lost in the intensity. Instead it is because of the fact that their mind is elsewhere and not concentrating on what they are doing in the exercise. They are coasting through yet another workout. Your goal when you train at the gym should always be to do something that you never did before today. When you do, the goal should be to do that again tomorrow. Nobody is ever going to be able to tell you whether your effort is what it needs to be. Only you will know that answer. That said, while nobody will know what true effort will look like, we all know what it should feel like-and it should never feel easy! Nothing in life is worth having that isn-t a struggle to get in the first place. If looking great was easy, we would all walk around looking like Frank Zane but we do not. The bottom line is, if you want to build muscle and get strong then you better get comfortable being uncomfortable. At the same time you don-t want to just train like an animal without a purpose. Training intelligently with a plan is the only way that you will be able to work out at a high intensity day after day and still reach your goals without overtraining or preventing your body from recovering between workouts. You see, the holy grail of lifting is to not just train hard but to see how smart you can be about training hard. Purpose combined with intensity is where gains really come. If you are looking for a workout program that tells you exactly what to do in each workout and for each meal, head to and get the ATHLEAN-X Training System. Bring your best intensity and you will see results like never before in the next 90 days training with me

LPowell-
I definitely focus when I train. My mind is focusing on every contraction and every fiber of the muscles I-m working. My body said -Stoooooopppppp-! I said -Fk you give me more bi%#% Give me more-! However I think too many hard rows and face pulls( Yes Jeff, Face Pulls) my left Rhomboid tortured me for a week. Had to have ortho put shots into it to stop spasms lol. Hopefully I know my limits now. I just hadn-t learned what failure felt like in that muscle apparently. It-s not my dominant side so wasn-t as strong either I guess. He just said I over worked it. All good. Took a few days off and starting back on push instead of pull to give it an extra day.

This is hard advice! As a new lifter I'm constantly finding myself wanting to stop myself at rep 10 or 15 just cuz it's a round number instead of pushing to failure. It takes a lot of willpower to stop counting and start demanding more from my body. I'm constantly wanting to do the lifts I'm good at and dread doing certain leg work or core training, but I know intuitively that stuff must be done to get gains

I-m 35+ y/o woman. I began working out in december 2020, just for stress relief related purposes. I found this videos and i find them useful, all of them even when I am not an athlete. I always check the comment section because I laugh with jokes, so I really enjoy the whole videos. But I have never commented. Now I just wanted to say THANK YOU

I did not know. I thought that I count the reps to protect the body from exhaust too much and then maybe get a flu by immunesystem down. No? I can just push out more and quit counting reps? It happened several times in the past that I trained more than usual and next day got a cold. Since then, I hold myself back by counting and stopping.

I watch this video once a week now. There are so many good points made here. I'm aggressively seeking my balance between intensity, volume and nutrition but the grind of it is taxing. You're right, that's the hard part. So far the hard stuff has brought the best results.

I hate push-ups, so I should do them more often? There are plenty exercises that I like. May be it makes sense, because if you don't train something, for any reason (hate, dislike, lack of time, you won't get a muscle growth that comes from those exercises.

Im curious to what you think of Ryan Humiston's videos after watching this one. This is the first rant video of yours that I watched and you definitely spoke the truth. In my experience, if your muscles arent burning, you arent pushing yourself.

I appreciate the honesty. I just started working out. I'm following a plan\journal and I felt like I could've done more after some of the workouts. although I'm still in the beginner stages and learning how to even engage core, how to lift, etc.

I really thought he was doing his best in A because he kept a his arms still more and his posture was better then B and C and also he was doing it slower which makes it harder and gives you a batter workout
