Why Is Muscle Gaining Hard?

Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and thought, man, I really need to start getting into shape? I have in the past before, yet not really ever again. So instead of complaining about the fat in my body, I did something about it. There are basically two kinds of people in this world, people that talk about doing things, and people that do things. So sit down and really think about it, are you ready to start getting that dream body?

Nobody else is going to go to the gym for you. Only you can get in the trenches and start pounding the iron. Until you know that you are the sole person responsible for your body, only then can you start forming your new body. Otherwise you might just sit around hoping for the results and in your impatience you end up quiting your working out process. My biggest problem before was that I hit plateaus in my gain, meaning than I would gain muscle and shed the fat, but then it would it stop progressing. I thought that I had a great diet and great workout plan, but why wasn't my body changing.

Do you know what my problem was? I was doing the same exercises week after week, and of course my body just adjusted to workouts so my gains almost halted. I didn't know about muscle confusion or progressive growth principles, until I picked up Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle by Tom Venuto. Now take a minute and check out all the books on the market, not just Tom's. After going through the material, its safe to say it helped a lot. I have since then packed on about 15 pounds of muscle and I'm down to 11% body fat! If you are interested in hearing more about his book, check out ReviewMOZ℠. They have an awesome in-depth Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle review.
