Here’s what no one tells you about building muscle

Forget the gym myth that you need to limp out of every workout or take protein like it's a chore. Building muscle isn’t flashy. It’s slow, steady, and repeatable.

You’ll do the same basic lifts, week after week, gradually adding weight. It’s called progressive overload. Not exciting, but it works. The key? Challenge yourself without overdoing it. Lifting to failure every time usually leads to bad form, not better results.

Aim for two to three sessions a week. Use weights that push you, but don’t wreck you. Give your body time to rest and recover.

Changes won’t show up overnight. But one day, your clothes fit better, your posture improves, and you feel stronger. And not just for now, but for the long run.
