Back to Basics

You want to grow, right............

If you feel like you're spinning your wheels and not adding much muscle mass, these basic tips should make you grow and break the plateau!

100% Whey

How much protein do you consume per day?

Get a minimum of one gram of protein per pound of bodyweight. If you really want to pack it on shoot for 1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight. The trick is to split it all up into six smaller meals. Your body can absorb it all, but not all at once!

Stick with the big movements for size and strength.

Squats, Bench Press, Dips, Dead lifts, Military Press, Chin-Ups, Shrugs, and other basic movements help you to build size and grow. Don't worry about isolation movements while packing on mass. Build a good base of size and strength first. Isolate and define later.

Indecision

This happens all the time. Should I cut? Should I bulk? Or how about "I want to get big and ripped!" Sound familiar? Focus! By choosing one or the other, you won't be going in two directions at once. Once you decide on a specific goal, you shouldn't let anything stand in your way of achieving it! Indecision leads to poor results.

Poor Nutrition and Supplementation

If you don't give your body what it needs for optimum results, you are just wasting time. Keep a nutrition journal and eat good whole foods. Your body won't grow without the proper nutrients. Also, learn what supplements may help you achieve your goals and also learn how to use them. Remember rule #1: get enough quality protein.

Don't Overtrain - Get some rest.

Remember you only grow when you are NOT in the gym. Let a muscle group recuperate fully before working it again. Also, get enough sleep. Shoot for 7 to 9 hours per night.

THE MORAL:

Getting back to the basic exercises, nutrition and other fundamentals will revitalize your training program. Never forget the basics!
