3. PROTEIN.
The most important macronutrient to make muscle and to maintain it during a calorie deficit.
Protein helps burning more calories.
Whether you want to cut or bulk, protein is crucial; especially in a cut.
Aim to get 1,5/2gr of protein per kg of bodyweight.

4. COMPOUND MOVEMENTS.
You don´t want to spend countless hours in the gym working every muscle, every angle.
Focus on compound movements; Squats, deadlifts, bench press, pull-ups, etc.
You will work a lot of muscles at the same time helping you save time and making more gains.

5. PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD.
You can´t afford to go to the gym and lift the same weights every day.
You must shock your body; Try adding more weights or reps -> It is the only way to keep growing.
In the beginning, it will be easier; It gets harder with time.

6. SLEEP.
Your body MUST recover, you are lifting heavy so your muscles are getting sored.
Muscles need 24-48 hours to recover properly so don´t train the same muscle groups in the next 2/3 days.
Sometimes less is more, so let your body recover.

7. ENJOYMENT.
Let´s be honest, you won´t get any results if you don´t enjoy working out and eating properly.
You may dislike it at the beginning, but you will end up loving it as soon as you start seeing results, trust me.
