http://www.fitwithmitch.com The Journey to Rapid Muscle Growth starts here!

One of the top frustrations and top fears of going to the gym is Not Seeing Muscle Growth.

You don't want to "waste" all that time, pain, and sweat, and still be the skinny guy you want to change when you look into the mirror.

Yet, despite people's best efforts, often, they just can't see satisfactory gains.

Well I've listed the Top Reasons You Aren't Seeing Muscle Growth and how to fix them.

1. Not Keeping Track
2. Lack of Proper Nutrition
3. Inconsistent Workouts
4. Natural Delayed Muscle Growth

Lack of proper nutrition is probably the biggest reason, and the reason I didn't see much growth for a long time, combined with Inconsistent Workouts. If you're not feeding your muscles the right things, they won't grow. Point, Blank, Period.

If you aren't keeping track of your workouts using a workout log, how can you know if you're progressing or not? Keeping a log is probably the most effective way to break through a plateau.

And finally, your muscles don't really want to get larger. If you are a Brand New Beginner, it'll take 4-6 weeks before you really start to see muscle growth because you muscle fibers get denser before they get larger. Unfortunately, this, for more many people, is longer than they can stand to be in the gym.

This is by no means an exhaustive list of reasons. For more reasons on why you aren't seeing muscle growth, check out my blog at http://www.fitwithmitch.com

Until next time, Happy Lifting!

  • Question, Say if I lift 80 db chest press one week, with about 6-8 or 8-10 reps, next week i go 85 pounds less reps or more? side note im trying build muscle. For past month I been going from 60 one week, 70 next, 80 next and start over bc weird strength loss. any tips or advice on that.

  • @TheMichaelRamprashad How long have you been training? How long have you been doing that particular exercise? There are a lot of variables I didn't have time to address in this video.

  • Thanks man really helped. I've been at the gym for about a month or so. I've seen my strength increase but not not really I can't do anymore weight an am stuck at the same weight. I take a look at the scale and I'm not loosing my belly either.

    I'm 17 years old. I'm 220 pounds. My arms are big but the rest of my body is just kinda big in fat. Any suggjestions? I've taken noexplode but have kinda wanted to do it all natural. What are your thoughts about that and MUcal milk powder

  • @destindavis Never heard of MUcal milk powder. I've taken NO Explode in the past - I can get the same effect with a caffeine pill before my workout (for a lot cheaper). People overestimate the power of supplements (only 10% of the battle if everything else is right) and underestimate natural food (90% of the battle). You can get great results from whole food without any supplements.

  • hey i just started gymming and before this i was doing push ups and some abs program at home which i learnt from tae kwon do , is that good ? will i see results in like 4-6 weeks or less ? i already seen some results in 3-4 days seriously lol. i also eat salads and stuff..etc what's needed. thanks for the reply.

  • @MarloBomfunk Hey I got my start in training from Tae Kwon Do (12 yrs, 2 black belts). You're asking about results, well that depends on where you're starting from. If you're in hardly any shape, you'll see fantastic results. If you're an experienced trainer, you'll see some, but not significant. And of course this ALL depends on What You Are Doing as well as What You Are Trying To Achieve. So you'll need to tie down those questions before you can match up a proper routine.
