Did I Nail it? 😂😆

For real though, if you want to build muscle, the recipe is actually quite simple but certain isn’t EASY. It requires planning, consistency, & getting out of your comfort zone.
.
Here’s what NOT to do:
*Eat 1200 cals/day - aka DRASTICALLY under-eat. Your body needs fuel (calorie surplus) to build muscle effectively. For most women that’s AT LEAST 2000 cal/day and guys maybe substantially more than that
*Lift the same weight every week - you have to make it more challenging and progress to keep building muscle (progressive overload)
*Don’t follow a program - not a 100% miss but following a program makes it infinitely easier to stay consistent & accountable
*Sleep 5 hrs/night - not sleeping enough (7+ hr min 👀) is a stressor on your body and increases the likelihood of fat storage and decreases the likelihood of muscle growth (through things like ⬇️ growth hormone production))
*Be afraid of getting BULKY - 🙄🙄🙄
