Three of the most common topics of confusion for guys who wanna get jacked are:
- Getting better at bodyweight exercises like chin-ups
- Advanced training techniques to increase muscle and strength gains
- Stress management and avoiding adrenal burnout
When it comes to getting better at pull-ups, there are hundreds of ways you can go about it, but only a few are smart and effective enough to give you results without beating up your shoulders, elbows, and wrists.
The same goes for the advanced training techniques like rest-pause, forced reps, and drop sets. Many work, but you have to use them in ways that won’t leave you injured or burnt out.
Speaking of burn out, your workouts aren’t the only thing that can cause it. A stressful lifestyle can do the same.
While high stress levels are an unfortunate reality for most people in today’s world, there are a handful of training, nutrition, and lifestyle principles that will help you avoid burnout and maintain consistent progress.
If you want to know more, tune into today’s episode where I discuss the simple, effective strategies that help you get over all of these common obstacles.
