The Single Fastest Way To Gain Muscle, Period.

Progressive overload – progressively exposing your muscles to more challenging workloads over time – is the primary driver of building muscle over the long term.

The most common method of progressive overload to gain muscle is to increase the amount of weight you’re lifting on each exercise.

Other options are to perform more reps with the same weight, perform more sets per muscle group for the week, train a muscle more often, adjust your form to make an exercise more mechanically challenging, reduce rest times between sets, slow down your rep cadence, and use high-intensity techniques during your sets.

However, not all forms of progressive overload are equal. Unless you’re an advanced lifter with at least a couple years of consistent training who has already built a solid foundation of muscle, getting stronger and adding more weight to the bar on all of your exercises, particularly the basic compound lifts, will be the fastest way to gain muscle.

Most other methods of progressive overload can only be applied to a limited degree. For example, you can only do so many sets per workout (workout volume) or per week (training frequency) before the overall workload and time investment get too high. Similarly, you can’t keep reducing rest time between sets, making exercises more mechanically challenging or slowing down your reps indefinitely.

However, when it comes to strength gains, particularly on the basic compound lifts, you can continue to increase the weight on the bar for years without increasing the time investment.

Once you hit that advanced lifting stage and you’ve gained a considerable amount of muscle and strength, you can start manipulating these other variables to squeeze out some additional muscle gains.

But for anyone who isn’t in the advanced stages yet and has healthy joints, the single fastest way to gain muscle is to gradually add more weight to the bar on the key compound lifts over time. That should be the gauge for determining whether your bodybuilding program is moving in the right direction.

A training logbook is crucially important in this regard because it’s going to allow you to track your strength progress in detail, giving you a concrete record of where you are and what you need to do to improve to build more muscle.

Remember that gaining strength is a gradual process that’s often going to be measured in terms of individual reps and small weight increases. But over time, it’s going to add up to huge increases in strength and muscle growth.

This focus on strength can enable you to achieve around 80% of your total genetic muscle building potential over the course of about 2-3 years assuming that your lifting technique, nutrition, supplementation and sleep are on target. At that point, you can start using some of the other methods to make further muscle gains.

Bottom line, muscle growth is an automatic byproduct of building a solid strength foundation, and that’s where your focus should be if you want to transform your body as quickly as possible. The fastest way to gain muscle is to gain strength, period.

Sorry, but nothing builds muscle better than watching a workout tutorial in your bed while sipping lemon tea.

Agreed 100%. BUT up to a point! This is fine for us all up to a certain age! I am now 68 years old & did that up till about my 50th year +-. I then had to change my training & train smart with lighter weights & a bit more volume. Now I know this may not be the case for all of you guys out there. But really as we age we need to start training smart & heavyweights are really not an issue anymore, unless you a competitor. This works for me & now at my age I am in excellent condition.
Blessings to all you beautiful people out there. Train safe & listen to your bodies. 👍🏻💪🏻

Absolutely love this. Sean is spot on here. Got back to the gym 6 months ago and have stuck with just 5 compound exercises focusing on progressive overload (just adding an extra rep here and there and upping the weights slightly) Full body workouts 3x per week of no more than 45 mins per session (no BS bro split routines of endless reps, sets and isolation's) Just get in, hit it hard and get out. All the time tracking my lifts and aiming to improve on them over time without living in the gym. Keep this simple guys, no need to make it harder than it has to be. This is an age old science and what worked years ago still holds true today. Be consistent and make sure you fuel your workouts/recoveries with enough decent nutrition and rest!

The only guy worth listening to.

Been training for years with zero results. All that changed when I came across Sean - first time ever I’m in my best shape and really happy.

I wish id had this information made as clear as you've made it here when i started training. I wasted the first few years training without the direction i have now. New beginner's can really benifit by listening to your knowledge. Much respect to you 👍

Excellent advice, must admit I was starting to mess around with some of the other progressive overload options but my strength is still way too low so need to stick with adding weight as you said. I'd give this 10 thumbs up if possible 👍
