Description
In this episode, I go over five very important things you need to be doing to build muscle efficiently. If you're not seeing results with your weight training, then one of these is usually the culprit. They are:Apply progressive overloadTraining close to failure (or to failure)Choosing exercises that actually stimulate muscle growthGetting enough recovery - since that's when muscle growth actually happensThe role of nutrition: are you eating enough calories and are you getting enough proteinAll of these key things are also summarized in my freebie which you can download at www.befitafter40.com/build-muscle.As always, I would love to hear from you.
