My dude!

I am about to cook some fish and start eating but before I do that I need to talk to you. ​​​​​​​(And I know this sound like a break up text, lol)

I was writing a guide on how to muscle up and as I was doing that it hit me like a ton of bricks.

There was 2 HUGE MISTAKES I did while trying to build muscle that always held me back.

No matter how hard I trained these 2 things always made me stay skinny & I wanna share them with you so you can avoid the struggles of busting your ass off in the gym and barely seeing any progress.

Sound good?

Mistake #1: Not eating enough calories

Mistake #2: Only using isolation exercises

These 2 mistakes are responsible for keeping you skinny and frustrated with the lack of results.

When I finally started tracking how many calories I ate I was shocked!

I was only eating about 1,000-1,500 a day, this was no where near close to what I needed to consume in order to grow.

Back in my early weightlifting days I wanted big arms and a nice chest so I would spend a lot of time curling and doing chest presses.

I got some results but I was also really stiff, had rounded shoulders and frankly wasn't building pounds of muscle like I was promised.

I needed to focus on compound exercises like pull ups, squats, handstands & push ups.

When I started doing those the muscle started coming.

I still like and appreciate lifting weights (specially strongman training & powerlifting) but bodyweight offers me so much more freedom to workout anywhere & anytime I want.

I want you to think right now if you are doing those 2 mistakes:

• Are you eating enough?
  
• And are you doing compound exercises in your workouts or solely relying on training abs, chest and arms?
