Building muscle naturally is a challenging endeavor, and misinformation can make it even more daunting. After experimenting with various bulking and cutting strategies, along with numerous supplements and workout plans, I've identified common mistakes that hinder muscle growth. Here’s a guide to help you avoid these pitfalls and optimize your muscle-building efforts.

1. Avoid Sticking to the Same Rep Range

To maximize gains, incorporate periodization by using different rep ranges: low (3-4 reps), moderate (6-8 reps), and high (12-15 reps). Each range has unique benefits: low reps allow for heavier weights, moderate reps increase strength, and high reps improve muscular endurance. Rotate between these ranges every 2-3 weeks to continually challenge your muscles and avoid plateaus.
