If you're not resting enough between sets, you're sabotaging your own progress.

If the weight, reps, or sets aren't increasing over time, you're not training. You're exercising. Training has direction. Exercise is just movement. "But I'm working really hard!" Working hard at the same load you used 6 months ago isn't training. It's maintenance. Your body adapts to stimulus. Once adapted, there's no reason to grow further. You must provide novel stimulus: - More weight - More reps at same weight - More sets (carefully) - Better form at same load Something must improve or you're spinning your wheels. "I can't always progress!" Then you're doing too much volume or training too frequently relative to your recovery capacity. You should be able to progress something every 2-3 weeks at minimum. If you're stuck: - Reduce volume to increase recovery - Focus on one lift to prioritise - Check if you're actually eating enough You can't build muscle without building strength over time. The two are correlated at the individual level. If your lifts aren't going up over months, neither is your muscle mass. Track everything. Compare to last month. Progress or adjust. Training without progression is just going to the gym.

As Florida Governor I will LOWER the age to purchase a firearm back to eighteen. If you're old enough to defend your country, you're old enough to buy the weapon of your choice to protect yourself, your family, and your property.

Graphic footage ⚠️ but if you're not vegan, why is it good enough for your stomach but not your eyes? Stop hurting animals if you are against any oppression. Help in my bio Lebanese Vegans
