Why you aren't building muscle

1. You don’t consume enough calories

2. You are focused on “burning calories’ or being drenched in sweat to think you’ve had a good workout.

3. You think you can build muscle in deficit or negate your muscle building efforts with excessive cardio or insanely high step counts. You don’t eat near enough to support ll your activity.

4. You don’t progress at the same training program. You are doing random workouts each day and it’s never the same week after week.

5. You don’t push yourself to failure or lift heavy enough. Just crank out reps like a robot.

6. You think more is better. Doing 10-12 exercises a day, training 6-7 days a week. Not enough time devoted to rest and recovery.

7. You don’t get enough sleep. You sacrifice the little sleep you do get so you can wake up and train.

Building muscle is difficult. Make sure you have all your ducks in a row. Most of us are not building muscle in a calorie deficit. Have to tackle these goals separately and always periodize your nutrition and make sure activity matches goal. Hope that helps!
