There are 10 things that absolutely wreck your ability to gain muscle. So much so that even slacking on 1 of them could cause you serious plateau. The good news is, get these 10 things right and your gains will skyrocket like never before.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a nutshell:

1. You’re not getting enough sleep. Yeah, I know you're busy, you've got stuff to do, but if you're not getting at least 7 hours of sleep a night, you're doing yourself a disservice.

2. Drinking enough water. Look, I get it, water can be boring. But it's essential for keeping your muscles hydrated and for flushing out toxins. Plus, staying hydrated can help you feel more energized during your workouts.

3. You’re not tracking your progress. If you're not tracking your workouts, how do you know if you're making progress?

4. You’re not changing up your routine. If you're doing the same exercises over and over again, your muscles are going to get used to it, and you're going to hit a plateau.

5. You’re not eating enough protein. Look, I'm not saying you need to be slamming down protein shakes left and right, but you do need to make sure you're getting enough protein in your diet.

6. You’re not stretching enough. Stretching before and after your workouts will help improve your flexibility, reduce muscle soreness, and increase blood flow to your muscles. Plus, it can help prevent injuries that could sideline you from the gym.

7. You’re not getting enough rest days. Rest days are just as important as workout days, as they give your muscles time to recover and repair.

8. Lack consistency. Consistency is key when it comes to building muscle. Skipping workouts, eating junk food, and slacking off on your sleep schedule can set you back and undo all your hard work.

9. You’re not focusing on form. Mind to muscle connection is a real thing, and roper form is crucial for muscle growth as well preventing injuries.

10. Taking enough breaks during your workout. It's important to take short breaks between sets to allow your muscles to recover before you move on to the next set.
