Training Knowledge

Sometimes I feel people can misconstrue the intensity of training programme as a tactic to "shock" muscle into growth. The reality is, you don't "shock" a muscle into growing, your programming should always create the opportunity for new forms of hypertrophy to take place, within different thresholds.

In terms of building muscle year on year, people often want to quantify whether or not they have been successful by knowing how much they SHOULD be adding. The reality is, there is no mathematical equation which can accurately say every person should add X amount of muscle inside 12 months.

Today I'll give you a list of 4 supplements I feel are very important for building muscle through multiple pathways. Supplements will never replace a good diet, nor will they make up for a lack of intensity however they will improve your results if you're ticking those 2 boxes first.

When you cut calories from your diet in order to reduce body fat and improve condition you want to minimise the negative effect this will have on your energy, mental focus, strength and of course muscle mass. It isn't as simple as "eating less"

It goes without saying that naturally boosting your testosterone levels will have many potential benefits to your rate of growth, strength levels, body composition and general energy. Even your overall well-being will probably improve, with joint pain becoming less of an issue for instance.
