Learning to put on muscle is like learning how to hook up with a girl. I’m serious! Remember getting all caught up with the stupid stuff – How is my hair? Am I tan enough? Do I look gay enough in all these Abercrombie clothes? What was the reward from worrying about these little details? No ladies! Eventually we learn that the only thing that matters is being confident, funny, and outgoing. Ladies dig the confident, funny, outgoing dudes. And when we realize that it is the most awesome thing in the world. It’s a mental revolution that opens up endless possibility with the female kind.
Adding muscle mass is the same way. Bros get so caught up with supplements, supplement timing, training routines, etc, but they forget about the basics. Train hard, sleep, and eat a caloric surplus. Do these things consistently and you will add muscle. Sure the details help, but only if you get the basics right. If you can’t add muscle without supplements, you probably can’t add muscle with them. My best advice is to be VERY diligent with your diet. Keep a journal and know exactly what you are eating everyday, along with macronutrient tallies. When you figure this out, you will finally start to realize the potential for your body. And that is an exciting feeling.
