Our dear friends, has it ever happened to you that you seem to be lifting, swinging, eating protein like crazy, and it seems like your volumes are growing and your training indicators are growing, but there is no beautiful relief... Has it happened? We hasten to reassure you: this has happened to everyone, because this is the natural course of things. Now I’ll explain it more popularly: in order to grow, in terms of muscles, of course, you need three components:

1. Reinforced training
