Episode 271: 7 Common Traits of the Person Struggling to Build Muscle

There are two types of people who I will be targeting in this podcast. First is the one who knows he or she needs to build muscle. The other is more concerned about fat loss that is why their workouts don’t lead them to build muscle. Although this podcast talks about two types of people regarding building muscle, anyone can benefit from the topics I will be discussing here. With that said, let’s dive into the seven traits and a bonus one! Topics:- Is your goal to add more muscle or improve your look but no matter what you do, it doesn’t seem to happen?- Focusing too much on fat loss - First trait: Not consistent with training - Second trait: Hating your workouts - Third trait: Trying to stay too lean, trying to eat clean 24/7- Fourth trait: Training too much or too little- Fifth trait: Being too active outside of the gym- Sixth trait: Not eating around workouts- Seventh trait: Not focused on anything outside of training and nutrition- Bonus trait: No patienceFollow me on Instagram at @jeffhoehn_ for more information and education.
