Trying to bulk up but not seeing the gains? π©π§
You might be making these common muscle-building mistakes without even realizing it! π«
1οΈβ£ Not Eating Enough πππ₯
Muscle needs fuel to grow! ποΈπ
If youβre not eating in a calorie surplusβor getting enough protein π³βyouβre basically spinning your wheels.
No fuel = no gains. Period. β½π«
π Aim for 0.8β1g of protein per pound of bodyweight. Donβt fear carbsβtheyβre your energy source! ππ
2οΈβ£ Poor Training Intensity π
π
If your workouts are full of scrolling π±, half reps π¬, and skipping the last few sets πββοΈπ¨β¦ youβre leaving gains on the table.
Muscle needs progressive overloadβlift heavier over time ποΈββοΈπ
Push yourself. Last reps should be tough. Thatβs where growth happens π₯π₯
3οΈβ£ Lack of Recovery ππ§ββοΈπ§
Muscle doesnβt grow in the gymβit grows while you REST. π΄π
Training 6β7 days a week with no rest? Youβre breaking your body down, not building it up. π§±β
Prioritize sleep, rest days, and active recovery. Your body will thank you ππββοΈπͺ

Track your lifts π, fuel your body π½οΈ, rest smart πβand watch your muscles start showing up ππ₯
