The search for a healthier lifestyle and a defined body is a journey full of challenges.
Even those who regularly train can encounter obstacles on the way to gaining lean mass.
Sport Life magazine reveals that there are habits that can sabotage all the hard effort invested in building muscle.
And it’s not just beginners who run the risk of making these mistakes, as more experienced people can fall into traps that delay the desired results.
With the guidance of physical trainers Giuliano Esperança and Eduardo Sagae, from Competition Academia, see these mistakes and the importance of raising awareness on how to avoid them to achieve lean mass.
Habits that compromise muscle definition
Excessive training
Giuliano highlights the trap in exaggerating workouts. Although dedication to exercise is essential to achieve muscle building, exceeding the limits is harmful.
He warns that such excess can lead to injuries and fatigue, and both factors impact gains in lean mass.
Insufficient rest
Eduardo points out the importance of not underestimating adequate rest, as a lack of quality sleep is quite harmful to the body’s ability to repair itself and gain muscle.
He also warns that this deprivation can increase the risk of infections and compromise the gains obtained from training.
Unbalanced diet
Giuliano emphasizes the need to maintain a balanced diet, because a lack of protein and an excess of processed foods impede muscle growth.
The expert also highlights the importance of moderating the consumption of alcohol to avoid overeating, as drinks inevitably obstruct muscle mass gain.
Therefore, when there is a balanced diet, your results are not compromised.
