@sarahjohnstonfit: 5 reasons why you may not be seeing the results you want: 1. You have 50g of protein per day. This isn’t enough to rebuild your muscles after you’ve broken them down with training. Instead, aim for 1g per lb of bodyweight (a good starting point for muscle growth). 2. You stop when it starts to burn When you feel the burn, it’s a good sign! When you feel it, keep pushing until you’ve reached failure or within a few reps of failure. 3. You do long cardio sessions before lifting This will make it much harder to have an effective lift because you’re already starting out fatigued! 4. You use the same weight every week Adding more weight and/or reps over time is needed for your muscles to be challenged enough to keep growing. 5. You eat 1200 calories 1200 calories is not enough to give you significant, if any, muscle growth. To make gains, you have to eat for them. Exactly how much will depend on your weight, height, age, activity level, etc. My coaching + fitness app are in my bio 💓 All fits @DFYNE code sarah10 🫶🏻
