Ten Tips for Long-Term Results
It may seem so to some, but the process of increasing muscle mass, called hypertrophy, is not impossible. According to the personal trainer Joicy Marombaresults evolve as the vision and attitudes about it change. In this sense Joicy lists ten mistakes 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 training and your progress. Comparing yourself to others can generate demotivation and frustration,” she explained.
2 – Train your ego, not your muscles
“The main goal is to stimulate the muscles so they can develop. 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, amplitude and cadence are essential,” he said.
4 – Cut the carbs
According to personal information, for your body to have energy, it needs good carbohydrates so that you can perform an excellent workout.
5 – Skipping meals
“Your body needs to be nourished to achieve good results in training, going hours without eating can harm your results. From a good diet, the body will get the nutrients it needs for its vital actions, as well as to build muscle mass”, he concluded.
6 – Not getting enough sleep
“During sleep, important hormones such as testosterone and GH (growth hormone) are released,” he explained.
7 – Excessive cardio
“Too much cardio can often lead to muscle loss. If your goal is hypertrophy, you should focus on weight training,” he explained.
8 – Drink little water
According to the expert, if you work out when dehydrated, your strength and muscle size decrease. “That’s right! To maintain 100% of your strength, you have 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 one’s goals”, he considered.
10 – Not having patience
“The process of hypertrophy requires discipline, dedication and patience. Muscles are not built overnight. Respect your body and its process,” he concluded.
