Are you putting in the work but not building much muscle?
These are some of the most common muscle building mistakes I see, over and over again...
1) Spending thousands of dollars on supplements you think will help build muscle, without even having the most important & basic habits established with training and nutrition.
No over the counter supplement is going to add noticeable amounts of muscle to your frame if you aren't actually training and eating right.
2) If you're doing 5+ exercises for one muscle group in a workout - you're almost certainly not training close enough to failure in those first few exercises.
This is how I trained in college when I knew nothing about what I was doing.
Make every single set you do, a very challenging set. There should be some level of discomfort you experience in the final few reps if you're challenging yourself appropriately.
And if you're training like this, you won't need more than 2-3 exercises per muscle group in a given workout.
3) If you're stopping at an even 10 reps every time...
or stopping your set at the slightest feeling of discomfort...
you're no where near failure, or close enough to it for it to be a challenging set.
4) If you're resting 30-60 seconds in between sets...
You're not giving yourself enough time to fully recover from the previous set. And then you end up doing less weight than you're capable of in the next set.
Which limits the strength gains you're going to see in the gym, significantly.
5) If you're eating overly restrictively all the time - it's going to limit your ability to get stronger and build muscle.
By overly restrictively, I mean eating much less than you need to.
For example - an adult man trying to eat 1200-1500 calories to lose weight instead of just 400-500 cals below maintenance.
Or, cutting out carbs completely. Which play an important role in energy for exercise, strength, and recovery.
With much fewer resources for recovery and fuel, you'll be at a massive disadvantage in the strength and muscle gain department.
6) Not getting enough sleep.
I have many clients who are new parents, and I totally understand that comes with a lack of sleep.
This is part of the game of life and fitness. I'm not on here telling new parents to go find a way to get more sleep. I'm sure you'll happily get more sleep if you can.
I'm talking to the people who very well could be getting more sleep, but are choosing not to. And are instead scrolling on their phones until 1am.
Or watching TV until midnight and falling asleep in the living room.
If you aren't getting 6 hours of sleep or more - the likelihood is that this is impacting not only your fitness and ability to build muscle or get stronger...
But also impacting your productivity and cognitive ability. Even if you don't realize it.
Any muscle building mistakes you'd add?

In this live video I'll go over the 5 key factors to help maintain muscle after 40.
We're told to believe that losing muscle as we get older is unavoidable. But the truth is, you CAN maintain muscle & strength as you age.
I've had dozens of clients in their 40's, 50's, 60's, and even 70's not only maintain muscle....But successfully build muscle & get stronger.
I hope to see you there.
PS - Bring your questions and I'll answer them all!

Chris just completed his 1,000th workout in my program. 🤯
He did that in just over 4 years. And I couldn't be more proud of his success and consistency.
And I'm very confident in saying this - He's built a top 1% physique for men in their 50's. (honestly, probably men of all ages)
And has successfully maintained a sub-14% body fat, year-round. Every year since we started.
Despite working full time, traveling for work a TON, Traveling for vacations, and moving twice.
Needed to give him a shoutout after seeing his 1,000th completed workout this morning!
Congrats Chris!
And stay tuned for more videos on my channel weekly.

If you don't much have time to meal prep or cook,
here are some non-cook options to help stay in a deficit if the goal is fat loss...
They're all incredibly simple and efficient.
𝟏. Use a meal prep service.
This is the ultimate cheat code. Because you're getting mostly healthy meals delivered right to your door weekly.
You can even choose the meals that fit your macros best.
This also makes tracking macros so easy because they tell you the exact macros of each meal.
And it is WAY more affordable than ordering food out anywhere.
If you want to try the one I use (Nutre Meals) for 50% off - comment or msg me "𝐍𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐬" and I'll send you the discount code.
𝟐. Greek Yogurt or Low Fat cottage cheese are excellent protein sources for not many calories.
𝟑. Protein powder is the leanest, highest protein snack available that doesn't require cooking.
It's the most convenient and quickest way to get in 30 or 60g of protein. And you can easily bring it with you when you travel.
𝟒. Fruit is a quick, easy, and healthy snack option that provides vitamins, minerals and fiber.
𝟓. Frozen vegetables that can be microwaved in minutes is a gamechanger to add volume, vitamins, and fiber to any meal.
𝟔. Minute rice is also a quick & easy way to get some extra volume in the form of carbs for any meal in 1 minute.
𝟕. Pre cooked grilled chicken that can heat up in minutes.
So you get the lean & healthy protein source you want without the time of cooking it.
You can get these frozen, or fresh and pre-packed that will last 3-4 days before expiring.
Every Sunday or Monday we get an enormous pre made salad without dressing. And a container of tons of cooked grilled chicken.
Then for at least 2 nights in a row, we both have a healthy, lean, high protein meal ready to go. That we add our own lite dressing to.
Easy to track. And super helpful for our 2 most busy days of the week.
𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐮𝐬:
**No one does this - but if you constantly eat out & want to tighten up nutrition without cooking, try it:
- order a large steamed vegetables from your local Chinese takeout place. And a large steamed chicken. Along with rice.
Now you have multiple balanced meals already cooked that you can put together in a minute. Add your own sauces/seasoning - and easily track the macros of without estimating.

Most people get it completely backwards with eating when trying to lose weight.
They eat as little food as physically possible.
In the hopes of losing weight fast.
What happens is this...
They lose weight fast. (mostly water weight)
Then when they can't eat like this anymore after a few weeks or months,
they end up yo-yo dieting and gaining all of the weight back. And maybe more within a year.
Sound familiar?
Instead of the "eat as little as humanly possible" approach, try this....
Eat 𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞, while still remaining in a deficit to lose weight.
Yes, you read that right.
We want to eat as much as we can, while still seeing weight loss.
That will be a much better experience, with less hunger, more energy, and more sustainability.
You'll be able to remain in a deficit longer and more consistently.
And you'll be much less likely to develop frequent binge eating from eating overwhelmingly strictly.
If you want help doing this properly and in a calculated way,
email me '𝐟𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬' and I'll help you take out the guesswork with weight loss. (email: info@RoseFitnessNY.com)
