1.Prioritize Compound Lifts Bench, squat, deadlift, overhead press—these are your bread and butter. Compound movements hit multiple muscle groups, allowing you to move heavy weights and stimulate massive growth. If it’s not part of your routine, make it one. 2. Progressive Overload is King If you’re not adding weight, reps, or intensity over time, you’re not growing. Track your lifts and make sure you’re pushing your limits every session. Remember, the muscle only grows when you challenge it. 3. Eat to Grow, Muscle needs fuel. Aim for a caloric surplus with a focus on protein (shoot for at least 1g per pound of body weight). Think lean meats, eggs, dairy, and quality carbs like rice and potatoes. Don’t skimp on healthy fats either—nuts, avocados, and olive oil are your friends. 4.Rest and Recover Growth happens outside the gym. Sleep at least 7-8 hours a night, and don’t underestimate the power of rest days. Your muscles need time to repair and grow bigger and stronger. 5.Stay Consistent, The gains don’t come overnight, but they do come to those who show up consistently. Stick to your routine, keep refining your technique, and stay hungry.
