The #1 mistake that might cost you years of gains…

When I just started working out… I really only have 1 focus in my mind: getting jacked ASAP!

And so what I do is a long-hours adventure to search for the most ‘optimal’ program in the world.

First I met up with HIT by Mike Mentzer, he himself called it the ‘science-based,’ ‘tailor-made’ programs for natural lifters… which indirectly saying that this is the best program for me…

Then, the next day I train like Mike taught me… 1 set to failure on all exercises.

But then…

When I just go home from the gym, I scroll for a bit, and I saw and science-based lifters saying 20+ sets per week is the most optimal…

So literally the next day I believed that the most optimal program is doing 20+ sets per week (which is not wrong)…

But again… after a few weeks, I switch again to powerlifting because they said that muscles can only grow bigger if they got stronger. 

It sounds make sense to me, I mean how can you not grow strong fast with with powerlifting… so what a dumbass I was, I switch again from science based lifting to powerlifting.

But here’s the problem….

I don’t stop. I keep going. I keep switching these programs because I want a program that will make me jacked in no time.

But here’s the thing…

The mistake is not that I want to get jacked ASAP.

But actually the mistake was…

Not understanding that getting jacked needs time.

Bodybuilding is a sport that really requires time to get great at it.

That doesn’t mean if I run a powerlifting program for a month, and doesn’t see any result, that doesn’t mean powerlifting is BS. Building muscles doesn’t work like that.

You need to get stronger on certain exercises for months, years, or forever to get stronger.

And if you just keep changing programs, exercises, rep ranges, changing everything you don’t need to change…

You just end up wasting your time, 

You don’t know whether you grow stronger or not, you lose focus because you keep changing your programs, and your recovery might be fricked up.

And all of this will accumulate when you see yourself in the mirror and ask ‘why my physique still look the way it looks.

So one thing that you must take a way is follow a program at least for 6 months, then you can change.
