I LIFT BUT DONT LOOK LIKE IT (The 5 Reasons Why)

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

Do you lift weights every week? Twice a week? Three times? More? But are your arms, chest, or whatever muscle youre trying to make bigger not growing? Well listen up, because with regards to training Im going to show you 5 common lifting mistakes that explain why people who lift consistently see no muscle growth in a month (or for years on end. And if any of those muscle building mistakes describes you, also how to fix each one so you build the muscle mass you desire. The first of the muscle building mistakes: you are not training with sufficient effort. While its not necessary to train to absolute failure every set, you do need to get close enough to it. During each of your sets, you need to push hard enough such that youre at least 1-3 reps short of the point where you could not possibly do 1 more rep with proper form. But many people miss the mark on this one by: 1) simply not pushing hard enough during a set to reach this 1-3 rep short of failure zone, or 2) overestimating how close they are to reaching this zone. For example thinking that they just did a set with only 1 rep left in the tank before they reached failure, but in reality could have done 5 more if they really pushed. The second of the common lifting mistakes is not training with enough intensity. For a long time it was believed that the most muscle was built in the hypertrophy rep range of 6-12 repetitions. This concept has since been disproven many times over and it appears that similar muscle can be built across a wide range of repetitions. But, it does appear that there is a limit to how high reps you should go before muscle growth is compromised. As a general rule, if you can perform more than 30 repetitions with a given load, even if it is to failure, you likely need to increase the weight to drop the reps or else you will be leaving gains on the table. What was once hard enough to help you build muscle mass when you started working out will likely not be hard enough after a few weeks or months. The easiest and most straightforward way to make sure you continue to push yourself is to periodically try and increase the weight of an exercise. For example, if you used 30lbs last week and performed 10 reps, try to use 35lbs this week and perform 10 reps. Now this strategy works very well for new lifters, but as you become more trained it is unlikely that you will be able to make noticeable progress on a week by week basis. For more advanced individuals, a more likely scenario is to try and increase the number of reps. As you continue challenging your muscles and pushing harder than you used to, you need to ensure that your technique remains on point. Many make the mistake of trying to do too much too soon and sacrificing good technique to use more weight or add another rep. Thus, explaining why theres no muscle growth in a month (or months. So even if you havent been making mistake #3, you could be artificially getting stronger and improving your sets and reps every week but compensating by using more momentum or shortening the range of motion. This minimizes the tension and growth that your target muscle will experience. Many of you watching will actually need to reduce the weight that youre used to using and focus on improving your form. If youre sure youve rectified the above mistakes, and your desired muscle groups (e. g. arms) are still not growing, then and only then should you start considering your training volume. However, the training volume you need to grow the fastest is highly variable and what will be enough for one person to grow may not be enough for someone else. Based on current research it appears as though at least 10 sets per muscle group per week is a rough estimate of where to start, but once again, this will be different for everyone. If you find yourself in a place where you need to increase volume, then a good rule of thumb is to increase whatever you are currently doing by 20-30% to stimulate more growth. And thats pretty much it! If youre not experiencing the gains you know you should be, then go through this checklist. Odds are youll find at least one culprit that may be the reason why. But, keep in mind its also absolutely essential that you pair all of this with a solid nutrition plan to fuel and support your recovery and growth. And for a step-by-step program that does all of this for you, by showing you how to train and how to eat week after week to maximize growth and strip off excess fat, then take the analysis quiz to discover which science-based program would be best for you and where your body is currently at below: Music - Lakey Inspired

There is no need for a 10-minute video for this question. OMG. why are all videos so stretched out for no reason at all? Just wasting viewers time like that. Do a 3 min informative video and that's it.
My explanation. :
Why do you don't grow in size anymore?
If you want to grow and keep growing after the initial beginner growth you need to eat a lot more correct food, sleep 8 hours per day, and train hard. Meaning you need to feel your muscles in pain after a workout and actually be tired(some people after a workout are still fresh and wondering why they don't get gains. Increase weight that you lift with time, you cant do the same weight for 3 years and expect to grow.
Here. explained everything in 2 sentences /3 sentences. EASY

Diet is a crucial thing, guys, without it, exercise won't help at beginners struggle to find a proper diet because they want fast results and they end up with no results at all, less money in their pockets, and health encourage you to do research and find a diet that will work for you still don't know where to start, consider Agoge Diet as your starting point (the first one comes with a workout plan which I find convenient as it doesn't require going to the gym at all. This way results are guaranteed.

I see lifting weights as a very straightforward process; If I'm getting stronger I must be getting bigger. Every session, barring the occasional anomaly, all my lifts improve. I usually know going into the gym if I'm going to have a good session based on how much food I've eaten and how much rest I've had. Muscle building can be complicated if you want it to be but it can also be framed simply; train hard, eat just as hard, rest properly.

#1 should be food. you need food to grow. If you are skinny, you cant grow a pair, it doesnt have anything to grow from. You can even eat pizza every day and look jacked. Its harder with pizza than with some proper food, but food is everything. Change your food, no training, you will lose fat, gain muscles just like that. in a couple of years. People think that this is a weekend job, its lifestyle. if you start, you must never stop.

What realy defines failure is something i want to understand. For example when i train side delts to 'failure' i feel the last 4 to 5 reps are where my traps and back muscles start to kick in, i know i can lift the weight for 20-25 reps but i know for a fact the last 7 to 8 reps i start to feel my traps burn regardless of how good my form is, how do i combat this issue?

At the end of the day I care for strength over size
I havnt gained a pound all summer yet the 70 pound barbell I made in may feels like baby weight to me now in October
If I can be stronger and maintain the same size and mass then I'll be more agile and more explosive. Better fit for work and life

The biggest reason people don't grow is they aren't eating enough. If you aren't getting bigger (fatter) you aren't eating enough and therefore will not grow. At best, muscle gain is 50% of gained weight. If you weight isn't changing you aren't eating enough.

Broken down from ten minutes to three seconds: You must train harder. PERIOD. That's basically all he's saying. And, of course, he's right. Why does such a simple message need to be overcomlicated that much?
