3 things to focus on if you want to build muscle and burn fat: 1. EXERCISE TECHNIQUE & EXECUTION 🏋️‍♀️ I see you second guessing yourself on the descent of a squat.. “Am I doing this correctly!?’ “Am I going to hurt myself!?” “Do I look silly!?” “Is my bar placement correct!?” “Am I going to the correct depth!?” Etc, etc.. Without proper technique, you’ll lack CONFIDENCE. Without confidence, you’ll never put in enough effort to achieve results which leads me to my next point: 2. INTENSITY 📈🚀 Hypertrophy or building muscle mass comes from 3 mechanisms: Mechanical Tension / Muscle Damage / Metabolic Stress - these can be explained further in a future post but basically, you need to provide enough stress via intensity of exercise to warrant biological adaptation - your body will protect itself from these stressors by growing larger and stronger; provided enough of my 3rd point: 3. RECOVERY 😴 You knew it was coming. Sleep and nutrition 🙌🏼✔️ Sleep is basically the greatest performance enhancer we have available to us. Check out Mathew Walkers “why we sleep” and couple that with an emphasis on quality protein sources at around 3g of protein per kg of lean muscle mass. - feel free to inbox me questions or to request programming 💪🏼💪🏼
