Conclusion
Building muscle isnt rocket science. It just requires
hard work, dedication, persistence and a never-say-die
attitude.
If youre relentless and train with passion on a regular
basis changes will happen. Its not an overnight process
so youve got to patient. Remember that its a sprint
and not a marathon. A lot of people start training with all
kinds of hopes and aspirations. Most of them quit a few
months into it.
But youre not most people.
Now go crush some weights.
