Hey, what's going on guys?
In today's video I'm going to share with you my three biggest muscle building mistakes.
It easily cost me 20 pounds of muscle and to make it even better I'm going to show you
while I fly my brand new drone back here.
So I just got this drone and one of the most important videos that I found was what not
to do with your drone.
I saw all these people crashing it into buildings, crashing it into the ocean, and obviously
I don't want to destroy my brand new filming investment over here for you guys, so I think
with building muscle it's so crucial to learn from other people's mistakes.
I'm going to head outside with my drone and share with you guys my three biggest muscle
building mistakes, so you guys hopefully do not make the same ones.
Really to build muscle mass, only three things have to happen.
You have to have enough ATP/energy, so you have to have enough carbohydrates and enough
dietary fats so your body doesn't tap into its protein and amino acids.
Number two - you need amino acids and protein.
Your body needs to regenerate and build muscle tissue onto the muscle you already have, so
you need enough protein to make that happen and amino acids are what i in the protein.
Most importantly, you need to have workers, hence, you need to have hormones circulating
in your blood stream.
This is why testosterone, HGH, all these things are so important when it comes to building
muscle.
The first mistake that I made is not enough lower body compound movements.
This is so big guys.
If you don't have enough lower body compound movements into your routine, you are not going
to have enough workers to build muscle mass.
If you're just going in the gym and you're just doing like lots of pulling exercises,
you're doing a lot of bicep curls, you're doing lots of shapers, abs, kind of just working
those beach-body muscle groups, you're not going to have enough hormones circulating
in your blood stream to really build muscle mass.
You're not going to have enough workers, so to speak to build the optimal amount of muscle
mass.
This is why doing really heavy deadlifts and really heavy barbell squats, doing front squats,
doing dumbbell lunges, this is the X-factor guys to building a lot of muscle mass.
We've got a bee on the camera, so let me just - holy shit.
Hold on guys.
All right, so we had a bee on the camera.
But doing these heavy lower body exercises is so important even if you theoretically
don't give a shit about what your quads look like, what your booty looks like, what your
hamstrings look like, it's going to help circulate more hormones in your blood stream, so you're
going to have more testosterone, more HGH, more of these anabolic hormones.
And they did this study one time, they took a guy who was training naturally and I think
they did this for six weeks, so they had a guy who was training 100 percent naturally
and for six weeks they had a guy who was not training at all, but he was taking anabolic
steroids.
The guy who was just taking steroids and not training at all, gained more muscle mass than
the guy who was training and not taking anything so that just show you why I preach to eat
certain foods and have the timing of certain things and to do these types of workouts,
it's all about the hormonal response in your body.
And by going heavier on the deadlift, going heavier on the squat, you guys are going to
speed up your progress so much.
You're in fact going to get stronger on every single one of your lifts.
The second biggest mistake that I made and I made this mistake for probably five years
because I invested so much money into supplements and not enough money into whole food.
You need really high quality protein and quality amino acid to build muscle mass, especially
as a naturally skinny guy.
My diet when I was younger is I would literally eat Subway, I would take two scoops of Old
Jack3d, I would take like a fancy testosterone booster, a fancy recovery supplement, and
I would pretty much live on Subway and supplements and pre-workout and occasionally some McDonalds.
So I was investing most of my disposable income when I was younger on supplements.
I probably had a supplement stack that was equivalent to maybe 300 dollars a month.
What I should have been doing is investing in high quality protein because not only do
you need the protein and amino acids to build muscle, but the more high quality that your
food intake is, the more of the hormonal response you're going to have.
So if you eat really clean, you're going to have a lot better testosterone levels, you're
going to have better HGH levels.
That's why a lot of the videos we talk about on this channel, it has to do with testosterone
and improving certain hormones and the timing, what you eat before you go to bed.
This all has so much value when it comes to building muscle mass.
Don't waste money on supplements; stick with high-quality sources of protein.
We've got a million videos on the channel that cover this in detail.
The third mistake that I made is I didn't have a really good mind-muscle connection
and I didn't implement a lot of advanced training techniques.
What I mean by this - and this all goes back once again to the workers part in the drone
metaphor and what I mean by that with your muscle building is your hormones.
By doing things like time-under-tension training, by doing things like FST7 and nuclei overload,
having a really good mind-muscle connection and squeezing the muscle and not just ego
lifting, you're able to secrete a lot more hormones and you're able to create a lot healthier
micro-tears.
Your body builds muscle completely out of survival.
By having a really good mind-muscle connection and creating more healthy micro-tears, you're
going to build muscle a lot faster.
This is so important because back in the day, I was trying to get bigger arms.
I was just doing lots of hammer curls and now just channeling a better mind-muscle connection,
I've switched to realizing that if I do close-grip curls, I'm going to hit that bicep peak and
then what I - for instance, when I'm doing close grip curl, I'm going down nice and low
and controlled, so creating more micro-tears is going to create a bigger hormonal response.
On top of creating more micro-tears, keep in mind, when you create a bigger cortisone
response, when you do these advanced training techniques, your body is forced to basically
recover and secrete more hormones to build more muscle so that's why if you go in the
gym, say like the first two years working out you kind of have those newbie gains and
then after a couple years, you have to really do advanced training techniques to continue
that muscle building process and that's so you can secrete more hormones and create those
healthy micro-tears.
I want to ask you guys a really tough question, what is the number one biggest muscle building
mistake that you've made in your life so far?
No matter how dumb you think it is, if you just leave it in the comments below, hopefully
it's going to help other guys not make that same mistake.
I really want to just form a cool community on this channel of people trying to help each
other out and hopefully learning from other people's muscle building mistakes.
Hopefully you found this content really useful.
If this is your first time on the channel, I would love for you to subscribe.
We've got new videos coming every single week and if you found this video useful, give it
a big thumb's up.
We want to hear you guys' opinions and feedback, so we can continue to make awesome videos
for you on this channel.
