Cardio & Injuries

No Cardio!
Cardio is the worst thing you can do when trying to build muscle.​
  • A) cardio causes you to burn extra calories
  • B) the body needs those extra calories to build muscle​

Cardio 
The Enemy of Gaining Muscle
​It’s like trying to build a house... but while you’re adding bricks on one side of the house another person, on the other side, is taking bricks away! That’s the equivalent of doing cardio while trying to gain muscle.        
You would never think of cutting calories if you were trying to gain weight.... or you would never eat more calories if you wanted to lose weight. Both of these example makes about as much sense as performing cardio when trying to gain muscle.

To succeed at gaining muscle you must MUST do it the right way.... otherwise you will not make progress and wonder why your body is not changing.
​

Injury: 
If you ever feel even the slightest twinge, STOP immediately! NEVER EVER work thorough the pain. Once you injure a muscle each additional rep makes it worse. If you stop as soon as you feel that twinge, you will often save yourself weeks of recovery.
Move on to a different body part and rest the affected muscle. You would rather lose one workout day (if you stop immediately) as opposed to 1 month of workouts (if you try to work through it). Take It from someone who learned the hard way!

Never attempt to work through an injury. You will only make it worse.
