If you aren’t seeing progress, it’s usually because one of these five pillars is leaning. You don’t need a “secret” exercise or a magic supplement. You need:

Consistency: Hitting muscles 2x a week.

Intensity: Pushing close to failure (RPE 7-9).

Recovery: 7+ hours of sleep (this is where the muscle actually grows!).

Fuel: High protein and a slight surplus.

Check these boxes consistently for 6 months and the results will follow. Which one of these is your biggest struggle right now? 👇

But you need a progression that matches your current strength and also challenges you.
Here’s a simple progression you can follow to build strength and muscle for your upper back.

I am always going down random thought rabbits holes when I train, drive, shower etc. This is one from today’s training session.
I want to start capturing more of these thought trains and also sharing more in hopes of sparking some good discussions.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
