You Don’t Pack on Muscle in the Gym

That’s right. What you are doing in the gym is beginning a process  where the potential to put on muscle and increase functional strength exists. However, if you don’t manage the other significant variables you won’t get optimum results. My point here is that your workout in the gym or other strength and conditioning work you’re doing, is a stimulus, it’s only part of the equation.

Many people don’t pay attention to recovery between workouts, nutrition/ food intake, nutrition timing, training periodization, nutritional supplementation, sleep patterns, biorhythms etc. To go to your next level begin to gather more knowledge about the totality of human performance, not just training.

Here’s the process. Learn, apply, observe results, adjust when necessary.
