Not Gaining Muscle - Here's Why
Not Gaining Muscle - Here's Why
As I sit here post workout, eating my 2 cups of rice, 8oz of chicken and drinking a Liter of water, I ponder to myself: why are most people failing at putting on significant mass? It’s quite simple actually…
They don’t have the balls.
That’s right. I’ve heard all the excuses: I work long days, I can’t eat. I’m just not hungry most of the time. It’s too expensive to eat a lot. My dog ate my post workout meal.
Take those excuses, turn them sideways, and… Oops, starting to rant again. The fact of the matter is, people will give you any excuse in the world as to why they’re not gaining at the rate they want to or should be. It all comes down to what you put in.
Do you know what you’re going to eat for your next meal? Three hours after that? Are you prepared for tomorrow with a solid meal plan so you don’t deviate and end up hitting Wendy’s instead. Preparation is so important I cannot emphasize it enough, but most of you won’t take the time to get it right.
If nutrition is your downfall, listen up. Start planning ahead a couple days, even up to a week. Cook in bulk. If you have a set plan and know what when and how much to eat, you’re 100 times more likely to stay consistent and see better gains.
Take the time at night to prepare your rice, chicken and potatoes – this will save you the time in the morning and when you are on the go. It’s not rocket science; the fact is most people are too damn lazy. SNAP OUT OF IT. If you’re serious about making some gains this year, you will put together a nutrition plan that is going to slab muscle on that frame of yours.
