As you point out, the only way to get bigger is to lift heavier, do more reps with the same weight, or both. I like to use my journal as a way to track how long it has been since I have increased the amount of weight I am using for my lifts, and if it has been a few weeks since I have increased my resistance, I will go ahead and add 5 or 10 pounds to make sure my muscles are continually forced to adapt and grow. My only criticism with this post is that you neglected to talk about a very important aspect of muscle growth - nutrition. Otherwise, a very solid post. I have actually written an in-depth article on muscle building nutrition that I would be happy to share with your followers, but out of respect for you and everything you do, I do not want to link to my site in a comment without your permission. If you would allow me to share my insights on training and eating for gaining muscle, I would be more than happy to provide a link for your visitors. If not, I completely understand. Anyway, thanks for the advice. Your instructions are always spot on! The training journal is something that is extremely important, yet often overlooked.

Im boxing and doing some mma, i want to lose fat and build some serious muscle. Should i add in some sprints after i lift, or would it be over kill with my tues,thurs,sat, boxing routine, and should i lift one bodpart per week, with low sets but high weight, and intensity? Im so lost, i dont know whether to follow you MGS, or Sean Naleywanjys Truth about building muscle program? Jason. Im boxing and doing some mma, i want to lose fat and build some serious muscle.

Unfortunately, I had to learn through trial and error. For those just starting out, heed this advice! Absolutely spot on. Unfortunately, I had to learn through trial and error.
