But even with these things, there are potentially crucial muscle building mistakes that might be happening. In this video, we're going to dive into three potential mistakes you should try to fix if you want more of them gainz.

1. Not training close to failure
2. Mismanaging progression and volume
3. Cutting when you need to build

4th reason - because you are not working out . 🙄
fr most important reason
Basically, all of his videos could've ended in 0.01 nano secs. It's simple
It depends.
Working out isn't important, TRAINING is Important
yh
1-Overtraining
2-Lack of sleep and rest days
3- obsessing with getting lean very early
those are what i learned from 5 years of experience
No
@@creamofthecrop5868 you're basically saying no to gains 😂
Do you lift or do bodyweight exercises?
@@daveythe2nd146 I lift 4 days a week, no bodyweight exercices, I'm at 85kg bw, I tried tons of methods to train, I used to train 6x a week and been stuck at 70kg bw then I reduced it to 5 and got to 77 now i am 85 and goes 4 times, I wish someone told me how important rest and sleeo are, I screwed up my hormones and my joints and was seeing no results, now I'm very satisfied
@@elielahoud310 How many times a week do you workout each muscle group?
*3 Reason You're not Building Muscle:*
1. It depends
2. It depends
3. It depends
Yeah. I don't look at these vids anymore. Just write "it depends" in the comments section.
lol
Its u

Today i m gonna train my jaw muscles to failure at Mcdonalds
Lmfao
Alexandru Stanciu ahahahahhahaha
Alexandru Stanciu 😂
Alexandru Stanciu Did you get any gainz so far?
Get McDoubles with Big Mac sauce, you won’t regret it
I cannot emphasize enough how important training close to failure is. I used to just stop whenever I reached my reps, despite the fact that I couldve easily done 3-4 more reps. Since I started to increase weights to the point of failure ive seen drastic improvement.
1. Overtraining (not enough regeneration) 2. Undertraining (not enough stimulus) 3. Caloric deficit
Not consistent is a big problems

1 reason for a lot of guys: Ego lifting
Jeeses99 for traps maybe, but if your half repping on bench or squat because you can’t control the weight then its just a waste of time
@Jeeses99 ask jeff
Very true, ego lifting gets you nowhere.
Ego lifting gives you injuries.
Awww cmon I love the guy that loads up 315 on the smith machine and benches it 4 inches
Hi, just wanted to say that you are by far my favourite fitness related CZcams channel, I looove watching your videos and I always learn so much from them. Keep up the great work.
1- consistency
2. Diet
3. Progressive overload but don’t move up weight until you have correct form
Some people move up weight when they can complete the numbers. You should move up weight in two stages. 1st when you’ve completed the numbers with an extra rep on the final set and the 2nd stage before moving up weight is to be able to do the 1st stage with the correct form
Im glad ive been subbed to this channel. This man would make my doctor proud 😢
the best method for gaining muscle is to make sure to keep creating progressive overload. every month or less, keep increasing the intensity when you are able to handle it. this is to keep it simple and easy for anyone to understand, progressive overload builds muscle over time. You also want to make sure you are performing each exercise with a good technique and contracting a much as possible. and of course, your nutrition is important.
I listen to ur videos while i workout. I learned so much from u thank you
Great video as always. Really underestimated how much you can achieve by focusing and eventually mastering the basics!
Yep!
Is there actually only 3 reasons you’re not building muscle? It depends - Picturefit
Ily picturefit
Thank you for the straight to the point no bs content! I noticed that i always go back to cutting when it should really be the opposite
I built a good amount of muscle last year. When I got promoted at my job, I started to train less. Then, after a few months, I stopped training. I would only go to the gym once or twice a week. Then I decided to just stick with what I've managed to build. I was so fat before when I started my journey to a healthy physique. Because of that, I become too afraid to become fat again. And since I am so afraid of gaining body fat, I started eating less - the result, I lost a ton of muscle I've worked so hard for to build. Next week, I will all over again. But this time, I'll do this right! Thanks for the tip :)
Great vid as usual, keep it up !
Thanks!
New sub! Nice work
Love this video!
Just received my tee shirt! Great shirt quality. Super soft and comfort. It fits perfectly. Not sure if it will shrink much... would consider getting a size larger if you like your shirt loose. I will wear this one and look a little more jacked 🤪. Glad I bought it! Please keep the excellent content coming👍
Excellent content :D
Thanks, bro :D
like the late great rich panini once said "GOTTA EAT BIG TO GET BIG GOD DAMNIT! RIGHT BABE?"
May this wise man rest in peace.
Panini pasta?

"GOTTA OVERLOAD THE MUSCLES YA KNOW YA KNOW! RIGHT BABE?"
Went picturefit start uploading more frequently
This does put a smile to my face
Doing my best. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video legend. Great topic choice.
Thanks
I would say the main mistake I use to do was thinking that the more bicep exercises or chest exercises I would do the more benefits I would get. Know I mainly focus on 1 or 2 big compound lifts for each muscle and then I just add little accessory work. E.g when I do back and bi, I start with deadlift then I do pull ups and after this I add one or two more exercises for back and finish with a single bicep exercise since I am already burned by then.
PictureFit! I just saw some videos explaining how salt can be overlooked and how it actually be a key to gains! Do a video on it!!
Hey brotherrr,
What’s the instrumental you use? I’d like to use in some of my videos. Thanks in advance, huge fan.
I am literally in the no.3 situation, was really scared to eat a lot coz I just lost 20kgs recently. So I kept doing intermittent fasting and kept lleating less (I am talking 1000 caloric deficit)even while lifting and my friends at my gym who started exactly the same day as me had more gains after 45 days and I didn't know what I was doing wrong but now I now. thank u so much I really needed this one
I love this type of explanation
That's great to hear. Thanks for watching!
I shouldn’t be surprised. I’ve finally started to make some real size gains, and it was because I realized I was a victim of number 3. I feel so stupid, why cut when there’s nothing to cut down to? Thanks for the video. Now I’m sure I’m on the right track.
I was literally doing all of these things wrong and I was also looking for a way to fix them
I was looking this up and I saw this upload.
My savior.
Woot woot!
You should also take advantage of the different strength curves and count your weekly sets per muscle(beginners:10+weekly sets per muscle, Moderate-advanced:20+weekly sets per muscle).Lastly, recovery is vital(48hrs of rest before hiting the same muscle)
I kept training to actual failure one day and my arms felt like electricity going thru them for days...I stopped exercising until the pain was gone
Got question about t-shirt.
I want to buy one but I'm living in Germany.
How much will the shipping cost?
The most common mistakes that I‘ve stumbled upon:
>training too little
>training too much
>eating too little
>sleeping too little
and eating too much lol
@@applebong9843 unless your a fattie wont be such a big problem
@Zain Butt dirty bulks are not so smart..
I’m in a weird place, but can tell my arms and legs are getting bigger but I’m still the exact same weight when I started, I’m 5’6 and 115 and I’m trying extremely hard to gain muscle and weight
Go on a calorie surplus atleast 200+
Damn I’m 5’9” and 118
I feel like sleep is extremely overlooked. You could be doing all your workouts to failure and eating all the good nutrients you can but if you don't get enough sleep you wn't see nearly as may gains as you would with a full nights sleep.
This is because HGH (human growth hormone) is the primary driver of muscle growth. It allows us to use the amino acids present in the protein we eat (This is where diet comes in!). The amino acids are most active during sleep.
Diet and sleep go hand in hand here. The more protein you eat, the more amino acids and ultimately HGH your body gets during sleep = more muscle growth.
In order to gain the best muscle growth possible, you need to train close to failure, eat the proper nutrients (especially protein) and the most important part in my opinion is to get at least 8 hours of sleep each night.
Love the content man I've been watching because I stopped playing basketball so I still workout to stay in shape. I want good physical health since I'm a gamer and run a CZcams channel so not alot of exercise could be bad for me.
Monitor your caloric intake and train each muscle group 2x a week and you will make great gains
@@wolfingphysique3820 thanks man and what do uou mean monitor calorie intake so ar you saying I need to eat more?
It depends 😋 I don’t know how much you eat. But by monitoring your caloric intake you always know if you have to make adjustments if you want to build muscle so by increasing calories or lose fat by decreasing calories. This way you can manipulate your own body which is awesome bro
@@wolfingphysique3820 I see thanks
Would like to see some more lively animations! Good information though
hi picture fit, I love your videos i have a question about your new video, u said train to failure to improve building muscle but in the video Does Training to FAILURE Improve Muscle Gains? research showed that training to failure doesnt benefit at all, so can u clarify because the two videos are contradicting. thank you
In the old days, backbenchers used to be the gym nerds because they enjoyed more lifting than more listening (to theory), but our hero "PicFit" is up to change the legacy... more and more theory! Keep it coming Professor Stickman. O7
When you reach what you think is failure, get your spotter to assist another two reps out, youve got them in you.
Then remember progressive overload and time under tension.
Steve Parker so stupid don’t do that
Tyrannis Gaming I would do this for my last set and force that progressive overload
Many may say this is too basic. KBut the info is spot on, all true. A person interested in this may have to look a little deeper to gt a few more facts to make the given info clearer (beginners especially) but you've pointed them in the right direction.
Can you mention how to build the best amount of muscle using light weights? I only have a limited amount of weight on dumbbells and body weight for exercises.
What’s the best method I could use? Thanks
Your inspiration for the way talk seems to be hank...haha
Only now, after years of lifting as a beginner, have I started to understand number 1 (training close to failure). In the 3-4 months since I started applying this, I've made bigger progress than years of lifting!
I know a lot of people who have tried to work out, and didn't have an idea of what they wanted to do with it. So I advise when training figure out what you want out of it, and maybe what you want to look like then find things that will train for those specific things.
can someone help me out? I use to do 25s (4 x 10 x 25) in each hand to reach 1000 volume, but now I do 30s in each hand to 840 (4 x 7 x 30), I feel more fatigue and I reach failure more with the 30s. But would it be better to go back to 25s and just increase reps?
Why do research while I got you. Your the best!
Can you make a tutorial about how you animate
I haven’t been eating enough for the past two months but have maintained size
Maybe a dumb question but say I have like certain workouts I do for an arm day. We'll just say its bench press, curls, tricep pulldowns and pull ups. Should I rotate which exercise I do first because I'll have more energy? Like if I do pull ups last, should I do them first a different day so I can do more?
Not stretching is a huge mistake when I first started. Also, not focusing on form and imagining the muscle part you're working on. Been training for 8 years, played 2 years for college football and 1 year for college soccer.
Awesome! GOD BLESS
Can you do a video where you explain what a beginner needs to do in regards to everything? I had doms for like 5 days is that not really bad?!
I’ve tried so many things I’m very consistent and been doing this for the longest time ever , it’s driving me crazy I eat more I only gain belly fat which I don’t want I eat a little less and I,m just losing weight I’ve been stuck on my same weight for over 20 years now and can’t seem to break the threshold of 33kgs of muscle mass and fat is only persistent round the belly
Pls help😄
Yo picturefit whats your opinion on rich piana's muscle feeding tips
I ordered a protein shake which tastes like playdoh clay
Sounds about right.
No pain no gain
HAHA
My son used to eat his playdoh so maybe its delicious.
@@cheebagardens1759 have you tried it?
0:54, that muscle looks like the Chinese flag!
Lmfao
Another reason would be falling into a routine. Working out the right amount with the right volume and all, but not going through the set properly, i.e not going all the way down on a pushup, taking long between sets to recover
Thank you . very inform
Glad to help
Incredibly effective summary in a 5:33 video. I like it 👍
Thanks!
I train at home with light weights. So i can do like 20 reps ez. But when i do light weight i can't fail a rep. I stop when i feel a big burn and a fatique. Am i doing good?
Didn't get the notification came here from discord YT going crazy again
Fookin CZcams
Same. At least Discord didn't let us down 😁
my eyeballs grew muscle after this video
I have a question @picturefit (hope u can answer!): when opting for a cut/calorie deficit, do we consider the calories burned through cardio and/or strength training in the deficit or is the deficit solely based on what you eat?
So if I'm aiming for a deficit of 1600 cal (and my maintenance is 1750 cal), but I do cardio for 30 minutes and burn 250 calories, does that turn my deficit into 1350 calories and in turn does that make me lose muscle mass? And if so, do I have to eat more to compensate the 250 calories lost through cardio so I can preserve muscle? Cause if that's the case wouldn't it render cardio useless?? I'm so confused! (Sorry I know this is a stupid question) Thanks!
Consider everything.
About the 2 RIR. Ive seen people talk about how a 5RIR has less but similar results to less RIR. Whats your take on this?
Well I went to gym and did some pumps to my muscle but after an hour it start to shrink. What is going on?
IZZUE GAMERZ the blood goes away out of your muscle
The pump doesn’t last forever tool lol
Exactly the video I needed... 😍 I never stopepd cutting coz I stopped cutting properly 😂
Good luck!
Amazing background music
2 month since going to gym taking whey protein good sleep and healthy diet
sweat soul can we get an update ?
I'd love to see why a seasoned lifter can't grow muscles and and cut at the same time. I know that but don't understand it. Muscles don't grow wigh kcal. But with a mix of amino acids and rest and training. So what if we had the correct amount of proteins for growth but less kcal?
I have limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2b but I want and need to built muscle any suggestions please
Hello, Im new to trying to build muscle and have a question. What do you guys use for calorie tracking? The ideas of trying to track calories seem to be overwhelming
My fitness pal dude
I just started lifting last week.
I'm doing 1 set of 12 reps per arm every few hours, about 3-4 reps per day. Is this overtraining?
no but don't take long breaks between sets, and don't do it every day, take only 30-60s or 3-5 min breaks
The point at 4:35, calorie maintenance-ish
What if, to maintain your regular body functions to stay alive is x number of calories, but due to an active job or something, by end of the day you've output double that, do you intake to the original figure that's the amount required to maintain body function or to the doubled figure?
For calorie maintenance, is that before or after counting calories from weights, or before? I have a fitness tracker that tracks heart rate and displays a calorie burn for BMR plus any activity based on heart rate. Does my maintenance calories disregard the activity calories?
TDEE = everything that burns calories.
Great info as always. Thanks. Word of advice though: Saying “ironically” where it’s clearly not ironic comes across as condescending. Just something to watch out for going forward.
To be frank, there was an intent to point fingers there.
Can someone help me out? In another video it was said that for hypertrophy the typical number of reps was 6 - 12, but this vid says that u gotta train until failure. Wouldn't that exceed the 6- 12 rep range in most cases?
Well you want to increase the point where once you get into the 6-12 rep range you are already close to failure (if that's how many reps you want to do)
but theoretically, whether you do light weight high reps or high weight low reps, both should be about equally good at stimulating hypertrophy as long as you get close to muscle failure
Hitting those Dr Mike Israetel points on the head.
1. Not using different rep ranges 2. Not using recovery properly 3. not training to failure about a third of the time
3:42 .. i dont understand ''results dictate progression not progression dictates results''. Can anyone please explain? thanks.
I m seeing your channel for 2 years from different accounts and I conclude that my body is the same 2 years ago lol.
Aw, shucks!
As long as I train to failure does my volume really matter? (Aka not planning it out, picking a weight and just going to failure)
Make a video breaking down betaTOR supplements!!
no i think i’ll take the steroids
NAtural Guy
TheNamesTen then your name should be Tren
It’s easy I can give you tips
Wise choice
Small pp it is ! Great choice
Let's get them gainz
Another reason: No mind-muscle connection. Moving your joints but not feeling the muscle❗❗❗
Lord KynG good for a pump but but even close for myofiblir hyportrophy
Remember Athleanx
Just achieved this on my biceps yesterday
I seriously need a nutritionist to give some form to my life 😢
Is it true that splitting the exercises are for peds only?
1. Sleep.
Which I am currently not. 🙂
Me ouc!!!!!!!!
I have never trined to failure, would it be beneficial to do a failure workout every 3 months or so to see if my RIR has changed and adjust my reps/weight for the next 3 months?
RIR will change but you don't necessarily have to train to failure again to know that. Will usually come with the territory of getting stronger and knowing your capabilities.
U are my best 👌🏻
Consistency is very important
One thing I typically see people mess up is with their diets as typically when they go to eat more protein they go strait for the meat while yes meat is a huge source of protein eating large amounts of meat will harm your over all health rather than increasing protein from one specific source you should increase the number of sources for example have protein bars and nuts for snacks. Other things you should try to work into your diet for protein is beans (not soy beans they will cause decreased testosterone levels), and for increased energy I advise adding a source of carbohydrates specifically vegetable carbs as they tend to be more complex requiring more energy to break down so rice, potato's, and other vegetables are a great addition to your diet. I also advise you stay away from bread carbs as they can have negative effects when attempting to build muscle.
