In a nutshell:

Imagine working out and doing well for the first few months then you hit a muscle-building plateau and nothing more happens.
But what`s even worse is when you learn that you`re doing certain things that are hurting your gains like using a poor form and overtraining all this time.

As such, keep watching to know the 13 most common muscle-building mistakes so you can avoid or stop doing them from here on out.
Diet is one of the two main pillars of muscle building together with exercise.

The reason is simple--without achieving a calorie surplus, it`s very hard for the body to build muscle in the first place.
Calories are essential for fueling your workouts and helping repair and grow muscles.

Building muscle requires a careful, well-thought plan to be a success.
For instance, since your goal is to build muscle, then you must focus on the right exercises.

Make sure your training program utilizes things like the overload principle and smart scientific approaches.
Many of us don`t realize how much water goes out of the body through sweat when a person engages in heavy physical activity.

The muscle cells are made up of protein and water, so if you want to gain more, then you must drink a lot of water.
To be more accurate, drink half your weight in ounces of water each day.
So, if you weigh 150 pounds, you should be drinking approximately 75 ounces or 9 cups of water a day.


Overtraining causes muscle mass to break down and is also the main culprit for injuries.

Not only does poor form come with a larger risk of injury, but it also makes it a lot harder to build muscle since muscles are triggered the wrong way.
And since you`d be doing a lot of strength training, having a proper form is especially important because this form of exercise is dangerous if done wrong.

Challenge yourself with new weights all you want but do so with good form always.Not to mention, this won`t allow the muscles to get engaged, meaning you won`t be seeing as much growth as you want from lifting quickly.

The pace at which you lift determines the time under tension of your muscles, which is when the muscle fibers get full resistance and muscle building happens.

Well, you shouldn`t because your body needs carbs to build muscle.
Some people are getting good results with a low-carb diet like keto or paleo.

And since you`re working out hard, your body needs energy and you can get it through glucose from carbohydrates.
The right carbs will propel you to lift heavier weights, leading to better muscle-building results.

As we`ve talked about, muscle cells are made up of protein and water.
An insufficient amount of this macro nutrient is akin to starving your muscles, especially after a hard lifting session.

You work out to break down the muscle fibers with micro-tears so when they repair, they build back bigger.

And over time, it leads to increased muscle mass.
To facilitate good muscle growth, aim for 0.8 grams of protein per pound of your body weight.

So, if you`re a 150-pound person, then you`d be looking at a 120-gram protein intake per day.

After all, there`s not much importance to getting bigger leg muscles, right?
The truth is, whatever affects the leg muscles will change your body.
There`s a significant amount of testosterone produced by the body from just a leg day alone.
