"How long before I see results?" is the most often asked question of relative beginners. "Why aren't I seeing results?" is the most often query of to date less than successful lifters. Diet and proper rest impacts your success rate more than most people know. But the BIGGEST factor in muscle building success is something EVERYBODY knows! You have to hit the weights! Yet I see many people fail because they overlook a key component of working out:
"Success is determined by a CONSISTENCY OF PURPOSE".
There is an element of "two steps forward, one step back" to working out. Though I would never suggest you not take days off and get proper rest (especially if your body is REALLY telling you so) a LARGE component to success is developing a real routine and sticking to it. And I don't mean when you are in the gym. You vary up your in gym workouts, but your workout schedule needs to have a consistent pattern. Routine is GOOD! So check this excuse busting article out and help yourself remove your largest obstacle. Muscle building is a LIFESTYLE.
