Building muscle takes a very dedicated person, who is willing to make the necessary lifestyle and nutritional habits to make it a reality.
When I first started to train with weights, I was intimidated by the weights area. It was riddled with men, and sometimes I couldn’t even see a vacant spot for a small person like myself. It all seemed too hard and too intimidating. Even though this was a long time ago, It’s still raw and real. I understand how hard it can be as a beginner, and even more so as a female. You very rarely get a woman asking how to build muscle. When you do, you know you’ve found a lifting sister.
I have trained both 1–2 days per week, focusing on muscle building, and I have also trained 3–4 days per week. You can probably guess that 1–2 days per week isn’t sufficient enough to build any muscle mass, especially when it’s a full-body weights workout. 3–4 days per week was a sweet spot for me. This is usually the recommended time need every week to make some decent progression.
That progression is a direct testament to your skills and efforts in lifting weight, as well as your nutrition and recovery phases.
I want to highlight this because most people who want to build muscle aren’t aware of weight training’s fundamentals. If you want to really change…
