10 mistakes that prevent you from gaining muscle mass

Ten tips for achieving long-term results

It may seem that way to some, but the process of gaining muscle mass, called hypertrophy, is not impossible. According to personal trainer Joicy Maromba, the results evolve from the moment in which the vision and attitudes about them change. In this sense, Joicy lists ten errors that prevent the increase in muscle mass.

10 attitudes that hinder performance:

1 – Compare yourself

According to Joicy there will always be people who are stronger, as well as others who are less defined than you. “Focus on your education and progress. Comparing yourself to others can lead to demotivation and frustration,” she explained.

2 – Train your ego and not your muscles

“The main goal is to stimulate the muscles so they can develop. The muscles don’t recognize the load, they recognize the stimulus,” he revealed.

3 – Wrong training

“The key thing is that it works, there’s no point in doing fancy exercises to show off. In other words, technique, range and cadence are essential,” he said.

4 – Cut carbs

According to personal information, for your body to have energy, it needs good carbohydrates so you can perform an excellent workout.

5 – Skipping meals

“Your body needs to be nourished to achieve good results in training, spending hours without eating can harm your results. From a good diet, the body will obtain the nutrients necessary for its vital actions, as well as to build muscle mass ” he concluded.

6 – Not sleeping enough

“Important hormones such as testosterone and GH (growth hormone) are released during sleep,” he explained.

7 – Excessive cardio

“Excess cardio can often lead to loss of muscle mass. If your goal is hypertrophy, you should focus on weight training,” he explained.

8 – Drink little water

According to the expert, if you exercise when you are dehydrated, your strength and muscle size decreases. “That’s right! To maintain 100% of your strength, you need to stay fully hydrated during your workout,” he said.

9 – Not having a guide

“The physical educator is the professional qualified to prescribe and guide training in the most correct, safe and effective way. Respecting one’s physical condition and objectives”, he considered.

10 – Don’t have patience

“The process of hypertrophy requires discipline, dedication and patience. Muscles are not built overnight. Respect your body and its process,” he concluded.
