If you can build a muscle, you can build a mindset. Are you at the beginning of your fitness journey and want to design your own workouts? Then you’re in the right place. Read this article and learn to apply basic principles of exercise science to create your own full-body training sessions.
First of all, I’ll be completely honest with you: A single blog article is no substitute for a personal trainer or coach, who can teach you correct form and draw upon their expertise and experience to craft a training program suited to your current fitness level, skills, and individual body. But not everyone has access to a coach, and some training is better than no training. As a beginner, what you need the most are consistency and practice, so you can get great results for months with a simple, well-structured full-body workout. I trained this way three days a week for six months when I started bodybuilding. I have clients who do the same, even if they’re not beginners anymore, and still get incredible results. Now that I’ve spent long enough singing the praises of full-body training, let’s get into the basics. In order to create a science-based muscle-building workout, you need to understand:

You don’t get to the highest levels of the sport without having the basics in order. What if you’re doing everything you can to build muscle, but you’re still not getting the results you expect?
You don’t need a better pre-workout drink. You don’t need to hop on a new program from the latest fitness magazine. You don’t need to sprinkle more protein powder over your problem. What you need is this article. (I talk big, I know.) Are you ready to take the start of 2021 as a new beginning to upgrade your physique?

If you want to increase your strength or muscle mass, the solution is obvious: Add some kind of resistance training to your workout routine, whether that’s lifting or callisthenics.
But did you know that you need to train in two different ways to maximise strength or muscle mass? In today’s article, I’m going to cover exactly that and more, including:
Let’s start off with strength. Success isn’t always about greatness. It’s about consistency. Consistent hard work gains success. Greatness will come. Note: Updated in August 2022.
In the lifting community, some people believe you must go to failure on every single set because, “no pain, no gain, bro!” Other people claim you must avoid failure because, “injury and fatigue, bro!” But which one is the best approach to optimal muscle growth? Is there a single best approach? This article will tackle these questions and cover the following points:
I have often said that it’s as complicated as you want to make it. The mentality of ‘just pick up heavy stuff’ will only get you so far. As you improve, your training must evolve. Lifting is a game of diminishing returns.
When you start, you can grow muscle just by looking at a dumbbell. You will be able to lift more weight or do more reps in almost every session without having to think about it.
