A Space For Girlz

How would you feel if you discovered that everything you knew about building muscle was completely false? How would you feel if you discovered all the time you spent in the gym was completely useless? This happens to a lot of people, a lot of the time. Unfortunately, the majority of people don’t know jack about bodybuilding and building muscle so what’s mostly known is completely false. So here is my gift to you; the most commonly abused mistakes about muscle building.

Mistake #1. Lifting Heavy

When it comes to bodybuilding, it’s about looking like you can lift a lot of weight and not how much you actually lift. Next time you get a chance and go to google images; search for bodybuilders and then search for power lifters. Power lifters that lift the exact same weight as bodybuilders are usually twice as small, usually smaller. Lifting heavy is great once in a while, but you need to focus on your goals. Usually, the higher the number of reps, the more results you will see in the mirror later on. If you can get your reps in the 10-15 range, then perfect. By all means, make it the hardest 15^th rep you’ve ever had – try to go to failure, but don’t use a weight that you can only get up 4 or 5 times.

Mistake #2. Gauging a Workout by Soreness

If you really want to learn how to build muscle, then the worse thing to do is to gauge your workout by soreness.A good workout can’t be gauged by how sore you are afterwards. As a matter of fact, I don’t think I’ve been sore in the past 5 years unless I’ve tried a radically new exercise regime. When it comes to building lean muscle mass, soreness can be a sign of overtraining. Focus on the pump instead of focusing on the soreness. This is something you go for as a bodybuilder, when you exercise the blood rushes into that particular body part, making it look bigger. This ist he best way to tell if your workout was a good one or not.

Mistake #3. No Breaks

Taking no breaks is one of the biggest mistakes you can make in bodybuilding. Muscle isn’t built in the gym. You build muscle the other 90% of the time when your body is taking a break and letting things heal. This means more then just taking a day off. This means that if you are working out the same body part every single day and taking a day off, you probably still want grow. Try to hit every major muscle part once a week, twice at an absolute max and if you are spacing it out far enough.

Here it is folks, the most common 3 mistakes about building lean muscle. I watch guys day-in and day-out make these very same mistakes all the time. If you can steer clear of these mistakes, you will be light years ahead of the majority of folks that work out.
