I’m always amazed at the ‘carpet bomb’ way of thinking that most people use to approach building muscle.
“Eat 10,000 calories a day, train hard with lots of rest, don’t do any cardio and sleep 12 hours a night and you will build muscle”
Which to me is very similar to telling people the secret to getting rich is:
“Work 5 full times jobs, live in a shack for 8 years, only spend 3 dollars a day on food and have no possessions and you’ll get rich”
OK..maybe not the best analogy, but you get the idea.
The fact is by adding a ton of body fat you can’t really tell how or where you are gaining your muscle.
And if you are a skinny guy (or girl) to begin with, it’ll actually FEEL like you are adding muscle.
But this is an aimless way approach to building muscle. There’s no true road map, no goals other […]
