"Before starting your program I had a dislocated shoulder & horrible back pain, and all of that was improved big time after 2 months of just Bodyweight training! + the program was hella fun! So thanks for the sick program! You now got me addicted to Bodyweight training, haha!"

Do you have more tips or mistakes to avoid when it comes to packing on muscle?

    Mistake-Believing the supplement ads. Nothing wrong with taking supplements, but believing it is the missing link to your success is not how you want to approach them.
    They are “supplements” so look at your nutrition and meal prep. Find areas where you are missing nutrition, or how you prepare your food. You can loose a lot of vital nutrients through the cooking process so supplementing may be needed.
    Mistake2-Leave your ego at the door. You might feel like lifting a ton, but there is no Glory in injury. Be smart and progress with small increments. Old schoolers use to hang 1# links of chain to the bar to make small incremental adjustments.
    *Training should be an upward wave, and not a straight line. You need to peak your potential then back down to let the body recover. Wave back up. Your recovery should be addressing mobility and a ton of bodyweight. Bodyweight training has it’s place mixed in with traditional weights, but focus on a tight program. Each recovery wave should be increased in complexity as you should be getting stronger with each training wave.
    If not then sit back and evaluate your routine. Find the holes and fix them.
    Sometimes they are as easy as changing food intake or sleep patterns.

    My sister’s boyfriend asked me about this. I simply told him to eat more. He said he was already eating a lot. No, he wasn’t. Anyone following the advice of this website has the programming down. Just eat more than you are.

      Most don’t understand the nutritional aspect or the commitment to learning and even more so, the commitment to DOING the work.

      If people followed this web site you are right, we’d have a bunch of bad ass mofos walking the streets!

    I live in Michigan, we already have close to a foot of snow on the ground. I LOVE doing my cardio outside but its rough when its snowing and 15 degrees outside. My hill for sprinting up is already packed with snow. Any ideas for some snowy winter cardio Zach?

      I hear you. In the land of cheese and beer(Wisconsin) I will do sled drag in the snow, carry stones or bags of sand, and farmers. I have had my water bottle freeze half way through workouts. Warm up with mobility work inside then a few outside. Key to staying warm is to set up everything before you train. That way you don’t cooldown during setup.

      Nick, get a kettlebell and a jump rope, any combination of these and burpees can be nasty!
