Common Muscle Building Mistakes
Trying to build muscles and lose weight at the same time - It amazes me that people try to combine weight loss with muscle development, but they do! Gaining muscle also means gaining weight, but unlike fat tissue, gaining muscle will make you look fitter, firmer, and harder. The reason why you can't combine muscle gain with weight loss is that in order to gain muscle you need to create a calorie surplus, and to lose weight requires a calorie deficit. To put it simply, in order to put on mass, you need to eat a lot.
Bad diet - Increasing muscle mass requires work and the basic building blocks of the muscle which are protein and complex carbs. If you don't eat right, your muscles will never develop properly. In fact, you may even be causing yourself injury and harming your muscles by not feeding them enough. Eat a high protein diet with a lot of small meals during the day to give your muscles their building blocks. Eat complex carbs to give yourself the right kind of energy for your workouts.
