it can be very frustrating when you are doing the work, putting in the time, hitting your protein, getting lots of sleep and you just cannot seem to add muscle.
the #1 thing we see in clients when it comes to stalled muscle growth is lack of intensity when training.
So many times when we work with clients in person do they say how much harder the workout is vs when they train on their own. That is because we push our client appropriately to send a message to the body saying " we need more muscle to handle this new demand!)
Now do you push to your max on every signal exercise - no. Focus on 1-2 that you feel safe pushing without being sloppy with the reps or using momentum.
To make sure you are pushing on those exercises, make sure to track what you are doing so that you know for the next time you do those exercises.
Let's focus on effort/instensity, execution and progression and you will start to see growth.
If you are not sure how to program a workout to allow for this type of progression and intensity, this is what we love to do. All you need to do is reach out so we can help.
