Oh! Wrong side. Wrong side. What the game? Muscle game. You are. Five reasons you cannot gain muscle. One of them is going to be blue glucose check-in. Second one, no strips. So yeah, the five reasons you're not gaining muscle, what's your about it, what to change? Probably. You've got to be pointless. I think it's better you take the lead on this. She reckon. I reckon so. Yeah. First reason you find it hard to gain muscle is... You should really be training each body part more than once a week. If we're talking bros split, probably not as good. Just because Phil heath does it, just because Cagreen does it, does not mean it's the best way for you. They are enhanced, they have everything else on point, they have lots of training experience. And also, do they do it? Well do they? That's the thing. They say they... When the magazine prints it, are they actually talking to Phil Heath or Cagreen? Or is it just an example of a plan that you could do? You don't need to do 50 sets on shoulders. No, in a day, if you're shoulders to grow, you can train them over the course of the week. You can split that up into three lots. Like, you'll hear people go, oh that fucking session was brilliant. I couldn't walk for two days after. Couldn't walk for two days after. Pointless. Is that a good session? No, I don't know. Absolutely. Don't want to get fucking run over by a bus then. You're not going to walk for fucking two weeks then, will you? Is that good? Is that good for muscle? Yeah, go for it, why not? It must work. It does make sense. Yeah, if it hurts. It hurts. It works. What do you mean, the fucking face wheel? Yeah, exactly. That one about doms as well. Oh yeah, I think that doms doesn't work. No, rubbish. Rubbish. Just because you didn't get doms does not mean you didn't grow any muscle that session. Ridiculous. So think about it like this. Like, let's say if you're going to do, say four exercises per body part or say five and we've got three sets each, that's 15, right? Good maths. Good maths. Very sharp. That's why I changed it to five. I don't know if I'm going to say anything else. So let's say you do it all in one day. And like, let's say the first eight sets, nine sets are quite good. But then after that, you're probably going to fatigue a little bit because it's the same muscle group, your ventiring, your load might go down, your reps, your sets might not be as good as well performed. Then if you think about it a different way, and like, like, let's say you split that same 15 sets up over two sessions, like an eight and a seven, then all of a sudden, you're not fatiguing halfway through your session because you want to have eight sets in that one, in that one session. And then you've got seven sets again. You've still done 15 over the week, but you can probably use better form, a bit more load and hit your reps and sets. I can't move now. Number two. You're training about form, pathetic form actually. How many people? Well, that's a church. Belgrade. That is the church bell. The bells. You love the bell. Good one. Well done. How many people have you seen the gym, like half squatting or doing lachels with their track bicep curling and it's pretty much a front raise? We're just wearing tights. That's bad form. That is bad form. That's the reason people don't grow. They're not actually training the muscles they're actually trying to train. So the amount of time you see a lateral raise, that's actually just traps or you see a bicep because it's actually just all shoulder. They wonder if you will find it difficult to grow muscle groups because they don't actually train them. You think they're just moving the weight for me to be is enough, but it's actually not. So like again, something like a dumbbell row that's supposed to be for your lap, you see people and they're just flexing the bicep pretty much to get the weight off. So what you should be doing is you should be working on perfect form, stretching and then squeezing the muscle throughout these whole range and then that way you're going to get stronger through its whole range and then you're going to develop the whole range. The whole range. The whole range. And then you're going to develop the muscle more optimally. So obviously if you're just training in a partial range. I think a lot of the time people think about weight training. They're just always trying to load more weight on the bar, more weight on the bar and actually what you need to do, a lot of people need to do is once they've hit a certain weight from certain reps and increased the number reps, slow the movement down, control, squeeze them. The weight, he will focus far too much on progressive overload and progressive overload. It has so many variables. You don't have to increase the weight every single time. No. And that's the biggest problem. People think that more weight on the bar, he was more muscle and that's just not the kicks. No. On to the next one. Oh my. I wish. Just table. We could have picked the back table. I know. I want to do a piece of it. Point number three. Point number free, Point number three. Point number three is that you don't eat enough. No. There's been a bit down. Consistently guilty. You think that you do, but you don't. Some people do this. They have like one big day and if they've got an I do eat like I do had a big day available or without food and then they try and rain it in. Mussel gain doesn't really work like that. I think again also a lot of people who are trying to gain muscle might approach their diet with a bit more of a bro approach. be eating a lot of decent, tingling, and really food, but it might not be a mountain to enough calories that you need to provide the surplus to grip. Because a lot of those broo foods as well, I think about writing lactate, and again, just carbohydrates really, and again the meats they use, got a little bit of fine, a little bit protein, but with the amount of fiber you can eat from all the veg as well, you're not going to want them to eat loads of food. The hardest thing when you're trying to eat enough calories is actually getting enough micronutrients in because you tend to shy away from vegetables and go towards high calorie things. So some really good tips for that is making sure that you add oils to some of your meals or adding nut pots of some meals is really, really simple way of getting some calories in. Things like cereals in the evening, a couple of old cereal, really easy way of getting carbs in. Adding things like honey. Honey? Honey? Honey? I've got, I've got, I've got honey. Honey, for more. Honey. Peanut butter, I think, to things that you're already eating, so you might be having a bowl of oats or something like that, or you might have an approaching shake. Yeah. Like, add those in, blend it in, and then you're not really going to see that added volume. And you've got to do it consistently over time because what happens is that your body will start to regulate certain things like your regularly, your knee, your tend to feel a bit hotter. So that number will have to move as well. Don't just think, oh, my bulking macros are 3000 and just stay there forever. Like, you might need to go above that. Your body will adapt to those calories a little bit, not, fucking crazy, but it will, a little bit. And then you have to go up again, like, don't, yes, some of you will go, oh, all you need is 90 calories extra a day to get yourself absolutely ridiculous. You don't. How can you quantify it? How can you quantify it? What if you walk a bit more a day? What happens if you volume goes with the gym slightly? Like, all these little things can really affect that 90 calories? Yeah. Two to 300 calories. Two to three calories. Any more than sort of 500, I wouldn't go above because you're just going to get fat a quicker. So the research suggests that you don't gain any extra muscle by doing the fucking great big board. Yeah. So sort of under 500, I usually sick people in about two to three hundred, maybe four hundred, depending on how quickly I see their weight coming up. And that's the thing you're going to have to keep it on your weight, keep it on your lifts in the gym, as long as those things are going up slowly at a decent rate, you're doing all right. Four is that you are not consistent enough with your training, not consistent enough. At one good session and then you think, oh, I can't suck it off to today. I'll do it tomorrow instead. It'll be all right. The goal of like a fat loss phase or a photoshoot or a diet for a holiday, keeps your cannibal all the way through that time. But when you go to muscle gain, it's like, well, I'm just gaining muscle out there for what? The results aren't like instantaneous, whereas in a fat loss phase, you see yourself get leaner and then you get external motivated as well. Like, oh, you lost a bit of weight. Oh, you're looking better because you tend to look better when you leaner. When you're going the other way and you look like a fucking back of soup, nobody's giving you those compliments. When you're too fat that you can't see your eyes when you smile, like the minute. Like honestly, when I'm having photos taken, I'm like, oh my god, who is that looking back? Why aren't you shaving? Why aren't you shaving? No, no reason. No, no reason. No reason. No reason. No reason. No reason. No reason. Look, because I don't have any shape or anything. Absolutely. Nothing like that. But it's so much harder to say consistent because those external motivators are gone and you say, well, actually, I'm not seeing any result site. So you stop training as much, as often, you stop pushing yourself as much and then you nutrition's off as well. So even when you've got a bigger variety in your food, it can be more, you can be more lax with it. When you're on a diet, you're almost no eating the same sorts of foods. Roughly the same meal time is when you've got a bit more variety and you might, oh, I might eat out or might do this, get a convenient of this, convenient of that. And ultimately, you're not consistent every time. Muscle game's harder the best of fucking times. Yeah, it's harder than fat loss. I find it really, really difficult because again, it's when you're training during a muscle game phase, it kind of takes a back seat where it's when you're on fat loss, you're on it all the time. You're like, no, I've got a train. You like cancel things, you've got a train, you've got a train. But when it comes to muscle game, you kind of go, nah, it's alright, I'll miss that. It's ridiculous, really. And it's the, but it should be doing around theory, really, it should be. Because when you're in a muscle game phase, that's the time when you're going to build your physique and a lot of people are going to a fat loss phase with fuck or muscle. Yeah. And it's like the reason why is because you never commit to any kind of real muscle game because you're not consistent. For sure. I think comment below, which do you find harder muscle game on fat loss? Because I bet you most of the comments are going to say, in my opinion, it would be muscle game. A lot of my clients struggle with it the most, they struggle with the motivation, like I said, and what we're talking about right now, the consistency. So, put that comment below, let us know. Let's see. Let's see what everyone finds most difficult because if we can help in any way, we'll put out more videos around how to stay motivated or how to stay consistent. And more importantly, how to gauge your progress during that time, because that's something that's really tough. So that's another video we'll do if enough people want it. So make sure you let us know, and we'll do that. No! Right. The last point is you do not stick to your goal for long enough. A lot of people do this. They start their muscle game, a couple of the abs go, all of a sudden they go. Their head goes. Time to diet. Yeah, you're too worried about being too quote-unquote soft, but realistically, most people don't get too fat. It's just a bit of a warped view of yourself because you want to be leaner. You've got that image of how we want to look, you know. But you're moving away from that. So you can't panic and you're, oh, I need to diet, I need to diet, I need to diet. And everybody does it, I do it, you do it. The thing is, I think the one of the best things that is having people around you who are pushing you to make sure that you don't just keep doing that, because there's a reason that you've never got to that point where you're happy with muscle game before, and it's usually because you do the same thing every single time, and that is give up on muscle game because you feel a little bit, they use the word fluffy, don't they? Yeah, not fluffy. Not fluffy. Not fluffy, fat. But yeah, that's one of the biggest things I think when it comes to doing this, is that it is doing it for an extended period of time. You hear a lot of people say, I need to do it for two years, that's a quite a long time. A lot of people don't even do it for longer than three months. When you see you use eight week bolt plans, 12 week bolt plans, you're not going to spill anything, you're not, and then you'll just diet it back off. Like give yourself a good amount of time. Like I'm talking a year. So when it comes to this, and obviously keeping on track over time, you want to track your lifts, you want to track your weight, and as long as those two things are generally going in the right direction, you're probably going to be gaining a decent amount of muscle tissue alongside it. The odd mini cut here and there, just a tiny thing's up, it's going to be useful, but don't stay in those sorts of phases for too long, don't just go into a cut, it's called a mini cut for a reason. So I hope you enjoyed this video, don't forget to share it with your mates, and we do like being shared around. Thank you.
